Donald Trump, who disparaged Obama’s golf-playing and who said he’d be too busy to play himself, has surpassed Obama’s eight-year total in less than five years and is on pace to play twice as often — once every five days on average. www.howtoreadthisch.art/president-ho...

These psychos care immensely about online chatter about them, even though they pretend they don’t care. Musk sued Media Matters, Thiel sued Gawker. They care desperately and we on the left don’t invest enough time, energy and money in pushing out good, accurate, embarrassing intel.
We need to otherize weird right wing billionaires like the smear campaigns they fund against minorities do. Musk leads a baby breeding cult and Thiel wants to suck up the blood of young people. They’re fucking weird and more people need to know.

This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity.

As far as I can tell, RFK Jr.'s latest antivax stunt runs counter to the WMA Declaration of Helsinki. Withholding HepB vaccination clearly does not meet any definition of clinical equipoise. Doing it anyway, overseas, is straight up colonialist medicine.

The ICC's arrest of former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte for the killing of drug traffickers by government officials as a crime against humanity may provide precedent for future prosecutions of U.S. officials who ordered airstrikes on alleged drugboats in the Caribbean, writes Charlie Trumbull.
The Administration’s Drug Boat Strikes Are Crimes Against Humanity
Members of Congress are wrong to call the strikes war crimes in the absence of an armed conflict, but the strikes are serious crimes under international law.
