Jew here 🙋🏻‍♂️

Stephen Miller is an absolute disgrace to the Jewish people. He intentionally echoes Nazi German rhetoric from the 1930s.

Miller is a shanda.

Just a reminder:

If the January 6 pipe bomber had been caught before January 20, 2025, Trump would've pardoned him, and he would be walking free right now.

Are we calling soccer trophies "peace prizes" now?! If so, Trump is in good company with millions of rambunctious children!
Q: Mr President, have you been told that you're going to receive the inaugural FIFA peace prize today?

TRUMP: I have been told. There's a rumor about it. That would be a great honor.

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales.

Tesla makes up less than 2%.

The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump's delusion: "[South American countries are] emptying out their prisons and their mental institutions into the United States of America."

Reality: Trump is the one emptying prisons.

“There’s a public health imperative to quickly expand the adoption of autonomous vehicles.”

Would the author say the same about building bike lanes? Installing automatic traffic cameras? Requiring Intelligent Speed Assist?

All of those are proven to save lives — and at a fraction of AVs' cost.

the military should take a clear message here: they will order you to do illegal things and then throw you directly under the bus if it becomes a problem

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Charlie Kirk was a tool.

I mean that literally. He was useful to the American right for organizing and propaganda, then they thought they could use his death to silence and persecute people they don't like, which worked a bit but fizzled, and then he was no longer of use to them so they moved on.
one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.
