New York Shitty

Is America contagious? Scholars in political extremism are documenting the global spread of right-wing populism.

“The effects can be unintentionally hilarious: CPAC Hungary, for instance, proclaimed itself to be ‘the epicenter of the global fight against globalism.’” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's not doomerist to say this is 100% where I'm at too. Things can drastically change between now and then (possibly for the better, but most likely the other way) but considering we had contested slates and J6 when Trump wasn't as unleashed as he is now, I can't see it any other way.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Bari Weiss would've of course worked for CBS without buying out her website, but the oligarch class wants to reward her for her years of service to their cause including her time as an infiltrator destroying the New York Times from the inside.

And yet no one saw fit to stop him. So now we have this.

In this Ohio diner, bailout still means when your mom ponies up $500 to spring you after a DUI. But they do know this: The most patriotic thing Americans can do is send our tax money to libertarians in Argentina.

this is the kind of shit you hope starts to fracture the solidarity become the soft-fash local cops and the hard-fash feds

Pretty sure it is a red city.

Eventually a conspiracy crank will encounter a legit conspiracy. 🤷‍♀️

Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

weird creeps cannot control themselves, and that’s why making the first gen-AI “actor” look and sound like a thin, barely legal white woman is the kind of thing I’d do only if I’d infiltrated that company to tank their project on purpose

Popcorn Disability: Mark in 'Friday the 13th, Part 2' He's not the final girl. He's not killed first. He's just Mark!

Every Friday in October I'm discussing a horror film with a disabled character in it. And this week I'm unpaywalling the post I wrote about Mark and how he's a pretty damn good example of representation in Friday the 13th Part 2.

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

I bet. I just think of those folks who, you know, are not great in the hygiene department .🤢

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly mis- judges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the sta- bility our Government has promised them. Because, re- spectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants.

KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance."

"Confused" GTFO with that. If you need to argue, take it to the Kodak Corporation. Don't take a shit in my virtual living room and then tell me you don't like the color of the drapes.

I am just so fucking proud of her.
