I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates

Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

everyone keeps dancing around it but JD Vance keeps trotting out the “immigrants are taking our housing“ because it’s a nativist blood libel he’s engineering alongside eg “they eat our pets” but, more specifically, it is to legitimize the dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

I spent my whole career writing about smart girls and women and then along comes Summers. One guy says women are inferior and it's headlines, while a hundred academic women laboriously produce meta analyses to show he is wrong, and the media is less than indifferent.

FWIW Americans can go to college in Sweden, studying in English, while enjoying things like safety, gender equality, quality of life, and constitutional rights – and without breaking the bank: utbildning.su.se/english/educ...

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

A Sudden Stratospheric Warming is on the way. In about two weeks, temperatures 12 miles up over Canada and Greenland are forecast to spike by 50°F or more. That’s a shockwave in the stratosphere — a rapid disruption of the polar vortex high above the Arctic… 1/

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies

This is about women and children as objects and tools and how abuse of them is not just tolerated and ignored but facilitated and celebrated.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I am joining @arimelber on @msnbc about 6:30 pm.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh!

Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett.

Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

People who openly defend pedophiles are not necessarily pedophiles, but they have announced themselves as a safe space for pedophiles to dwell. Keep your babies away from any and all of that.

Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.

Things to know about Epstein hugger Ken Starr: prosecuted Bill Clinton for lying about consensual (if inappropriate) sex, got fired from Baylor University for doing nothing about an on-campus rape epidemic.

Sabina Vohra-Miller Let's Talk Flu Influenza 2025 - what you need to know New strain H3N2 is one of the strains that is included each year in the flu shot. However, this year we have seen a very rapidly spreading evolved version, with seven mutations. Early estimates suggest that the flu shot might not be a good match. In general, H3N2 tends to cause more severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths particularly in the elderly and the very young. Early start Typically flu season tends to ramp up in December and peaks in January/February. However, we are seeing an early start in many countries in Europe and Asia. In Canada, while we are still under the 5% positivity threshold, we did see a doubling in percent positivity from last week - cases are increasing rapidly. Anticipating high number of cases Due to the mutations and the early start, we are likely going to see yet another year of record cases and subsequently hospitalizations and deaths. The southern hemisphere also had two back-to-back brutal influenza seasons. We are also anticipating similar impacts in Canada and the US. Still important to get a flu shot While the flu shot may not be a perfect match, it will still provide some benefits particularly in preventing severe illness. New data published by the UK HSA this week shows the 2025-2026 vaccine is 70-75% effective at preventing hospital visits in children and 30-40% effective in adults. Other ways to protect yourself This would be a good time to begin masking in indoor spaces. Also, extra precautions to protect elderly, children, immunocompromised and pregnant people.

Lots of questions about the upcoming influenza season. I answer what I know over here. It is doubly important to get a flu shot this year (and your COVID shot too!!).

Midwest Immigration Bond Fund

today, a federal judge ordered the release of 615 people wrongfully abducted by ICE / CBP from june to october (yay!). as if they haven't already been through enough trauma and violence, they each still have to pay a $1500 bond (aka ransom & extortion) (boo!).

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Starbucks strike begins TOMORROW—don’t cross the picket line!

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

Drivers stop at crosswalks in Poland now because they passed presumed liability, and they ran a public awareness campaign to promote it. The driver is presumed to be at fault if they hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

I maintain my position that white collar crime remains the most underprosecuted, and more vigilance on this would have saved us from at least two Trump presidencies before they happened. These guys are sloppy, they're just also stupidly intimidatingly rich. But not richer than the State.
