There are two ways you can consume this: “Obama is a weakling who is tacitly endorsing Charlie Kirk because he’s not using the language and tone I would,” or “a professional communicator is making a point, I may not be the audience, and his primary aim may not be my personal emotional needs.”

Just read two upcoming release book descriptions that start with “The Virgin Suicides meets _____.” Kind of makes we want to read the OG again.

the degree to which these guys are just literal, straight up Nazis is both shocking and massively undercovered by the media

She was hanging out with the 20 biggest NIMBY boomers in Evanston who are against zoning reform, talk about “preserving Evanston’s character”, and all kinds of other regressive BS. So yeah maybe she should’ve done some homework before showing up for a photo op.

favorite fact i learned recording this episode is that evangelicals didn’t really care about abortion and thought it was simply a catholic issue until the 70s when it became the biggest issue for evangelicals

Will Meet The Press ask random other white politicians to condemn Trump's antisemitic language this weekend? Or does that only apply to Mamdani?

When at the LA Times, I posted Fuck yeah lobster roll with a picture of a lobster roll, chips and beer. It was during the 3 days off I had to attend my mother's funeral across the country. When I returned, I was told to delete the post or else. For profanity. While on vacation. For my dead mom.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

@realDonaldTrump I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!! 2.14k ReTruths 8.64k Likes May 26, 2025, 8:27 AM

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

headlines with menacing auras:

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
