Too many Dems are "let's agree on murdering the armadillos."
Romney has been the last decent Republican for a long time.
"Dr. Dunkel practices at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center but was not speaking on its behalf." This part is perhaps because MSKCC is a butcher shop. I speak from personal experience. But de-funding the program is a travesty.
"Soelberg’s chats are filled with mentions of fear that some unnamed group was plotting against him and was gathering data on him through technology." Shit. He figured it out. Cut the hard lines, and degauss the drives. We must maintain opsec at all costs.
True. I've spent a small amount of time visiting a high floor on Trump World Tower (The one by the UN) and it's amazingly fancy and cheap at the same time.
Newsom is a fucking coward. This isn't about crime, and after a week of "trolling" Trump, now he's saying "let me hurt my people so you don't have to, daddy." l.smartnews.com/p-667qb5bW/Z...

Less political, but yeah.
If you don't have a valid justification PRIOR TO THE STRIKE, you don't have a justification. War is hell, and sometimes mistakes happen, and the justification looks bad in retrospect, but you can still say "we thought this, but we were mistaken, and we regret it." That's not what's happening here.
TLDR: It's important to give the Israeli government time to figure out which lies they want to tell to justify murdering children. And this is STILL the best excuse they can come up with.
Nice. Hide your explanation about how what's obviously happening isn't happening behind the paywall. #Journalism
Wait, you don't know what "dead naming" is? Aren't you claiming to be a journalist? Are you bragging about your ignorance? Is it just posturing?
Are you seriously only figuring this out now? And the thing that made you realize it was the firing of Lisa Cook? I do appreciate you noting that some of us figured it out much earlier, but this is literally your job. Please do better.
I'm getting really tired of the phrase "saying the quiet part out loud." At some point, it isn't "the quiet part," it's a rallying cry for fascism, racism, sexism, etc. We have to stop pretending that societal norms are what they used to be. Enough people want a dictatorship, that it isn't a secret.
I watched someone else play big chunks of that game, and I think about the main theme from The Hymn Of The Fayth regularly. It's an amazing melody.
I visited this museum within the last 6 months. You're mistaken. You climb through the Middle Passage, and you are greeted by an enormous wall saying "We The People" which is POWERFULLY ironic. My other favorite moment is a small picture from Vietnam where a Black soldier calls his M16 "Black Power"
The only correct answer is Shakespeare. No explanation required.
Bragging about the size of your balls is weird. They are supporting characters. What you want is a big dick, and balls of proportionate size. It seems to me like this guy is admitting that his normal-sized balls look big in comparison...
It's engineering a crisis that will "require" martial law.
There's definitely plenty of racism, but it isn't all racism. "Merit," in this case, is most likely about the desire to tear down the administrative state. Turning off satellites and data collection, for example, isn't racist (even though it will disproportionately effect people of color)...
I have a new Old MacDonald joke: Old MacDonald has an army, G.I.G.I. Joe. They prosecute illegal wars G.I.G.I Joe With some air strikes here And some black ops there No one cares If you kill Too many civilians Old MacDonald has an army G.I.G.I Joe
I just want to know if he has spent time having a meeting at Wannsee...
White Jesus is sooooo mad
The thing about fig trees isn't even lost...
I'm not a believer, but I like that part where he meets the moneylenders in the temple and says "dudes, I have Good News about arbitrage."
Lasagna is a WMD
I used to know someone who was accused in court of brandishing an AK-47. I'm pretty sure that nobody in Roanoke, VA, has ever seen an AK in-person within These United States...
Look, how many Bs do you want there to be in Blueberry? I want 57. ChatGPT is falling short.
This is why, when I got firearms training, I trained on the Glock. It isn't practical to own a gun in NYC, but if I need to take a gun off a dead cop, I know how to use it. I preferred the Sig, though...
Forget it, Jake. It's moisture farming.
I'm pretty sure the movie Chinatown is basically about conflicts over moisture farming. And Darth Nicholson was amazing in it. So...
Being An Asshole is a Protected Class, apparently.
This is basically the government equivalent of "forks are really useful, and my toddler can sometimes manage to eat with them, but she keeps trying to stab the cat, so we can't let her have it." NYPD needs to learn how to do "gentle pets" before it gets to have a big kid fork.
I'm pretty sure that, legally, if the Moon is directly above property you own, you own the Moon while it's there.
Power. Money is just a means to that end, and a measuring stick. But yeah, fundamentally, I agree.
Dude, knowing about weather is for girls. Guys don't check the weather. We make our best guess, and we live with the consequences. Girls are always all "oh, let me check my weather app on my phone, I might be slightly uncomfortable." Fuck them satellites. John Wayne didn't need no satellites.
Unfortunately, it's much more politically advantageous to fix a crisis than to prevent it. Sometimes, game theory really sucks.
Once again, it's time for NYPD to pick a side.
This is all correct, but it's frustrating that people need these obvious facts explained to them. But that's how it is, so go forth!
I really hope I'm wrong! I hope it all finally catches up to him! I'm just not optimistic because of every other time a scandal seemed potentially fatal to his reign but wasn't. And because Vance is waiting in the wings, ready for the mantle if Trump is cooked.
The main event is an attempted fascist takeover. My fear is there isn't really much to the Epstein thing that will actually damage Trump (recall that he got elected twice _after_ bragging about sexual assault) and this media cycle is taking attention away from the gestapo and concentration camps.
I really hope you're right. I fear it's a distraction.
It's also just a distraction right now. Yes, Epstein was a monster, etc., but we already know that Trump is a monster. Almost nobody is going to suddenly realize that Trump is bad as a result of these files, and this media cycle is taking focus away from urgent priorities.
You don't have better things to do with your time?
I just figured it out. Yarvin wants to turn the country into a corporation run/owned by a king. Part of being a corporation is hiring and firing. Deportation is firing. That's the appeal. Genocide is just "Corporate Strategy." Your only value is your financial use to the country, not your humanity.
The great thing about the name "Alligator Alcatraz" is that either side could have come up with it. It's a great moral litmus test. Do you think resurrecting a famously bad prison, and adding alligators (Colbert called it years ago) is exciting or bad? Whichever you choose: "Alligator Alcatraz"!!!
Same reaction to the same moment.

Charlie Kirk emerges from a stall, still trying to extract his hand from his own asshole, shouting "NEVER TOUCH FOOD WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! IT ISN'T SAFE, YOU ANIMALS!"
An army guy, a marine, and Charlie Kirk are all using a public bathroom. The army guy uses the urinal and washes his hands. The marine doesn't wash his hands. Army guy says "when I went to army boot camp, they taught us to wash our hands." The marine says "they taught us not to piss on our hands"
Somewhat pedestrian, but Cabin In The Woods never stops accelerating. The final and title track of The Cure's "Pornography" gives the sense of being flung out into space at the end. It's like the entire album is refusing to agree that the world is just, life has meaning, or happy endings exist.
Weird how so many people who were outraged about the death of a single CEO are so nonchalant about the deaths of thousands upon thousands because they need to maintain shareholder value...
Solid reportage, too, that they didn't even know another publication already had the name...
Please continue to ask forgiveness rather than permission. Thank you.
And somehow, those same standards required the Times to protect the Nazi source used for a hatchet job on a guy who seems like the kind of candidate we should all want. #FuckWordle
I hope it's clear that we are on the same side here, and we're just discussing tactics.
Under fascism, you declare some groups to be sub-human in order to make the people you care about fear being labeled sub-human, so they are more compliant.
Yes, they are! And it's terrible! If you're creating a justification for a police state, you have to commit to the bit! Immigrants (documented or not) naturalized citizens (mostly non-white ones) and many other groups are in serious danger. I'm not trying to take away from that.
Except this isn't really about immigration. Immigration is the excuse that provides justification for building a gestapo. I do take your point, I just don't think we want to use the other side's dishonest talking points.
If we didn't live in a police state before, we certainly do now.
Yeah. Me too.
When you're attempting a fascist takeover, it's essential to have control of the largest police force in the country. The Gestapo started out as the Prussian police--the largest police force in Germany at the time.
It's critical to understand that the point of pretending we have an immigration crisis that requires mass arrest and deportation is to justify the creation of a massive federal domestic police force that can go anywhere and do anything as long as they pretend it's related to immigration.
Yep. There's a lot of bad stuff in the bill, but massive ICE funding is probably the most immediate crisis. The prospect of an ICE budget 1/3 the size of Russia's military budget, and four times the size of the FBI's budget should be absolutely _terrifying_.
"What’s noteworthy is the informality, they said." What? I would argue that what's noteworthy is the fascism...
Cool. NYPD is also "organized." Connect with them and get them to choose the right side. I'm not a fan of the police union, but this is their time to make it right and protect New Yorkers from ICE.
No, he's not. He's trying to use you to normalize the idea that he can strip people of their citizenship for political and racial reasons. That's much, much worse. He wants to deport the scary commie muslim so he can better suppress everyone else.
When you say you "refuse to let ICE terrorize the city," do you mean you will order the NYPD to protect New Yorkers from ICE? If so, please make it explicit and run on it. It's time for the NYPD to pick a side.
Just raise your hand
At least almost everyone at this meeting is a lawyer
When the movie about this nighmare of an administration gets made, I nominate Neil Patrick Harris (@nphstuff.bsky.social) to play Pete Hegseth. There's a physical resemblance, and I'm certain that NPH could capture the voice and the vibe.
Aren't you supposed to be a journalist? Do some journalism and find out why some leftists use "liberal" as an insult, and how that interacts with broader political trends. This post only makes sense if your goal is to slander the far left. You're better than this. I hope.
A fair point. But were the flames necessary? I guess they were. Ugh.
They sure did! And not in a tasteful way!
"Indian Americans for Cuomo," which I hesitate to say, because it's clearly only a small, and terrible subset of Indian Americans.
I saw that on a truck near Times Square yesterday. Disgusting.
MARY
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Have you seen this? Disgusting.
Seen near Times Square. The other images make it clear that this is a pro-Cuomo ad. #FuckCuomo #DontRankCuomo #Islamophobia
For the record, I, too, have special munitions designed to go much deeper...
Yes, I too read _Stranger in a Strange Land_ in High School. It's a good book! How desperate do you have to be for approval from nerds to name your AI after it? Thank you, Elon, for providing data for this important study.
"Despite it being deeply unpopular"? Really? That's the counter-argument? The Iraq war was very popular, and a terrible mistake. The point is whether it's a mistake, and it would be a historically stupid mistake.
Ah, the beauty of nature. The humble "Operation Desert Siege" built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself, and two weeks later emerged as a beautiful "Operation Desert Storm"!
You're thinking of Stalin. Except it was "into ponds" rather than "down escalators."
Oh, shit, you need to do a BTB about the Project for a New American Century.
I'm sure it's a great org, and deserves support. But protecting people from ICE and HSI shouldn't fall to civilian volunteers. NYPD should be providing security any time a non-citizen has a court date. It's time for the NYPD to pick a side.
There is an argument to be made here that Tucker is the worse person, because he occasionally still has a functioning brain, but still mostly uses it for evil.
You should make a statement that the NYPD should be protecting New Yorkers from Trump's federal agents, and that if you are elected mayor, you will instruct the Chief of Police accordingly. Your detail should have prevented these arrests, but presumably need to be authorized, first.
Yes, this would be an escalation, but it's a necessary one, and the alternative is far worse.
But if senior leadership doesn't pick a side, the good cops will do nothing, and the bad cops will help the fascists. It's time for the NYPD to remember who they are supposed to "protect and serve."
I don't blame the security detail for failing to protect Lander--I doubt very many cops would go toe to toe with federal law enforcement without explicit authorization.
And the police union should publicly commit to defending officers from bogus federal charges with the same vigor they use to keep bad cops on the street.
It's time for the NYPD to pick a side. Lander had police security detail, and it sounds like they did nothing to prevent his arrest. The Chief of Police and the Mayor need to instruct their officers to protect the people of NYC from Trump's fascist goon squad.
You know you helped this happen, right? Congratulations on being right about something after a career of being wrong about basically everything. How did that "two month war" work out? You initially liked Sarah Palin? I'll take you seriously when you take responsibility for the deaths you caused.
That said, this may be the time for acceleration (as some on the right call it). We may need to bait the administration into going too far, too fast, in order to turn public sentiment against them.
Curtis Yarvin is a monster, but he's right about this: "It cannot stay at its current level of power—which is too high to sustain, but too low to succeed."
I don't know... It seems to me like they need the protests to escalate in order to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and start using lethal force broadly and publicly, in order to normalize it.
It's almost as if the LAPD has spent decades advertising itself as the place to be a cop if you want to know what it feels like to crush a person's skull for no reason, but you're too much of a coward to join the army. Almost...
