First, I agree with you that this is completely idiotic and barbaric. However, some of the mass protests that have been taking place in the last few weeks were calling for the Shah's grandson replacing the mullahs. Again, not disagreeing but it is a complicated situation on the ground in Iran.

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy.

So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

Not to be negative but jfc enough already.

I'm pretty sure the College du Leman was Earl Scruggs' alma mater!

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

Wait, you're saying that we should try to learn something from history?

Real question: Isn't it Uncle Fred who enables and empowers these people?

I have seen the realpolitik argument of being a smaller country living next to a large one. But there are options between full-throated support and full-throated opposition. You can say nothing, for starters.

Where Are They Now?: The Pundits Who Got Iraq Wrong One would think that cheering the U.S. into war in Iraq would have been a career-destroying mistake. Alas...

Back in 2023, for the 20th anniversary of the war in Iraq, I did a "where are they now?" article about the pundits who cheered on the U.S. invasion www.readtpa.com/p/where-are-...

Thank you thank you for doing this.

Sweetbreads aew one of my favorite foods but I don't make it at home. Maybe I should!

This is conversational, not disagreeable, but chicken livers sautéed in butter with onions and that's it... Delicious.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

This should be our band name Seth.

Women assaulted at pro-Palestinian protest in Crown Heights accuse NYPD of bias Two lawsuits say an incident on Eastern Parkway in April is part of a broader pattern of NYPD officers failing to protect protesters who promote progressive viewpoints.

My client, Enbar Ozeri, would like a word. gothamist.com/news/women-a...

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

Can you imagine him doing this for Eric Adams?

Certain types of ruses are one thing... impersonating a New York City police officer is a felony in our state.

Impersonating an NYPD officer is a felony. These ICE agents must be arrested and prosecuted.

The thing about engaging with stupidity is that it usually makes everyone feel and act stupid. If you're interested in snowball gate but not making yourself feel stupid, read this, the smartest thing I have seen on the subject.

Completely ridiculous... the meme, not you.

yes, and Virginia open until 7. Neither of these races had any reported returns at 6:35 pm. Timestamps indeed.

I've been a civil rights lawyer and political activist for 25 years, so speak for yourself. He ended his book by telling us we have to be willing to die for democracy. By we he meant us, not himself nor his spouse. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

So many couch sitting psychologists here! But no, war is here. We need to separate the #resistance grifters from the people making real sacrifices for democracy, as Mr. Snyder himself advised us to do.

Nice try. You said you wouldn't read it because you're upset about other things. You owe me nothing. You owe yourself an education. Of course, education can be hard, ignorance is easier. You've chose the latter. Good bye.

Woman Arrested While Playing “Ghostbusters” on Clarinet at ICE Protest Oriana Korol has since been transported across state lines, and her husband has no idea when they’ll hear from her again.

I haven't heard Trump or Miller tear down Snyder, but I've heard them tear down people protesting in Bridgeview and Portland but they return. It seems that you haven't been to any protests other than the govt approved No Kings protests. I suggest you get out there.

Of course. It's the Trump era after all. Americans only take in self-affirming information, even, as in this case, when the information is coming from a liberal.

Trump is the symptom, your attitude towards contradictory fact and opinion is the problem.

Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’ Marci Shore made news around the world when her family moved to Canada. She discusses Trump, teaching history and how terror atomises society

It's bs. You're linking to a Yale publication. And a member of his family, his wife, is on the record saying "The lesson of 1933 is: you get out sooner rather than later" in explaining going to canada. So please, You obviously have a need to idolize celebrities. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025....
