A majority of Americans are seriously underreacting to what is happening in this country.

Stupidity and royal self-entitlement sunk Andrew, and it may not be over yet Indulged by his mother and ignored for too long by his siblings, it is behaviour like Andrew’s that could ultimately kill the monarchy

Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Go figure.

I guess Lee Greenwood, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Kanye can't quite pack them in any more.

Two new polls out today for NYC mayor (including a Fox News poll) and both polls show Mamdani up 16 points. He is ahead on every major issue including crime. And in two way race with just Cuomo he beats him soundly. Let's do this NYC voters.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

John Rawls, liberalism and what it means to live a good life | Aeon Essays For John Rawls, liberalism was more than a political project: it is the best way to fashion a life that is worthy of happiness

‘Rawls is often treated as an austere theorist of justice, but I wanted to recover the moral and even spiritual warmth at the heart of his liberalism — and Aeon was the perfect place to do that’, – @lefebvrealex.bsky.social, winner of the Australasian Association of Philosophy’s Media Prize

His flying-monkey House Speaker says there’s no “way to amend the Constitution 22nd Amendment”—and Trump concedes that’s true! “If you read it, it’s pretty clear, I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.” Reality-based! Except he added: “We have the greatest economy ever, my highest poll numbers ever.”

I helped lead the National Guard. Troops don’t belong in our cities. We must not permit this gross misuse of the military to be normalized.

Retired U.S. Army Major General Randy Manner: "The deployments we’re currently seeing inside American cities…are not only un-American and wrong, they’re being done at the expense of our young men and women in uniform."

A big tough guy from BORTAC with a CS grenade in his hand. Pathetic.

Look at this fucking shit. In Chicago the "elite" CT unit of the USBP detained (a violent assault resulting in 6 broken ribs) a 67yo US citizen driving home from his morning run, then tear gassed a Halloween party with kids in attendance. There's no reforming this. It's unamerican and unacceptable
