This, to me, is so telling. When proven wrong, Bari Weiss invites her critic on a podcast. The rotten fruit of the "debate" tree, the fetishization of debate as a conversation in which one "wins" or "loses," "owns" or is "owned." A side-effect of capitalism's anti-intellectual higher ed arms race.

'Bad Company' Another unprecedented week has come to pass in the United States.

Another excellent Sunday essay from @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social
"I have observed Trump since the 80s and have experience with him going back to the 90s: his mantra has always been ‘Fuck you, stop me’.
So far nobody has - and we, as a nation, need to wake up and fix that soon."

“I have seen Trump palling around with folks who have gone to prison for dealing drugs - they were his guests at after parties. His own son, Don Jr., consumes enough cocaine to prop up the Bolivian economy in perpetuity.”

Pro Tip: POTUS that respect our service members don’t leave them standing around for an hour just because they can. Guys who only see them as props do that, Trump would disown one of his own kids if they joined the armed services. He wouldn’t invite wounded vets to ‘CA’ finales.

A glimmer of hope within a tRump induced black hole of hateful lies & crimes. 👇🏻

January 6 was basically a training session for upcoming ICE agents.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Amazing job, Colbert! What do y’all think?

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Thugs.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Recently Deployed Ukrainian 110th Mech Brigade Pushes Russian Troops Back The arrival of the battle-hardened 110th Mechanized Brigade has already turned the tide on the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border.

Three days ago, the Ukrainian 110th Mech Brigade was deployed to the Pokrovske area of operation. Three days later, they’ve liberated 3 villages in Dnipropetrovsk and are still advancing.

I loved her show on PBS.

BREAKING: An FBI agent has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

HERO.

If the sole responsibility for yesterday’s attack lies with the attacker, why is the Chief Rabbi allowed to claim a direct link between the terrorist attack and Pro-Palestine rallies?

Casting the movement as menacing is really a refusal to try to understand what is going on. #r4today

When we had to stop tapings on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ so Trump could have his Depends changed we called it a ‘shitdown’ perhaps we should do the same when he shuts down our government.

'Sad But True' I firmly believe firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be the last stop on the autocratic autobahn we’ve all been barreling down these last nine months, with a drug-addled madman behind the wheel.

“The U.S.A. will soon be viewed by much of the world as not only an anti-democratic aggressor but as the largest purveyor of the myopic, misinformed views and intellectual laziness that is killing our planet. We live in an age of absolute unaccountability when it comes to the Trump administration.”
