The many monarchs of Europe, the slaver's Confederacy, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Italian fascists, Imperial Japan and many more all assumed that because liberals value peace and human life, that they were weak and feckless and easily beaten.

Go look for them now.

i am extremely confident in the democrats' ability to learn the lesson the last president should've learned

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

No one wants this. The conservative suburbanites don't want it, the farmers don't want it, the construction guys don't want it. The people who aren't hardcore nazis voted for this because they thought mass deportations meant millions of totally hallucinated dick tracy villains getting rounded up

Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van.

Democrats: Important to pick the precise dollar amount of minimum wage increase that’s most popular lest everyone get mad at us

Republicans: hahah yes, a Gatsby party at the president’s luxury resort at the exact moment benefits expire for millions!!

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

This is bad and probably should be illegal, but what a fascinating text

People of Canada. You have one job. For the next 24 hours you have to get Drake as far away from Rogers Centre as possible. And keep him there.

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

they killed him so they could fuck his wife that's crazy man

Little on the nose for Trump to theme his party after a novel about rich assholes whose decadent excess literally kills ordinary people and also each other while leaving the glamor of the age empty and their lives devoid of meaning

Since @KevinRobertsTX Chief of Staff, @RyanMNeuhaus sees fit to passive-aggressively ask for my and my colleagues' resignation, I'll just point out most of us have been at Heritage a lot longer than he has. But if losing my job at Heritage is the consequence of posting "NAZIS ARE BAD", it's a consequence I'm prepared to face if it comes to that.

I know this fascist shit is doomed when I see late 50s and early 60s white guys in their Costco Shopping Finest screaming ‘fuck you’ in DHS officers’ faces

Posting a photo of Ceausescu’s bathroom for no apparent reason.

If Elected, How Might Mamdani Use Mayoral Power in Ways That Affect Israel?

Though the NYT doesn't cite a direct quote from the Mamdani campaign, the newspaper reports that Mamdani intends to use his office to reassess the city's ties to Israeli universities as well as the various municipal-level Israel specific economic programs put into place by Adams.

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

why would he come for online trads like this

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

Thune, Curtis, Barasso, Tillis and Murkowski all agreeing on the same thing and being willing to publicly flout Trump means not only do Rs not have the votes, they probably don't even have a majority of their conference vaguely interested.

it's good that he can still be forced to do this. it's very bad that this was not the position from the start.

And yet, some really wanted to believe it.
