So I guess Stephen Miller was a big fan of Harris, he's gotten Trump to do what he thinks Harris wanted?

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

AMEN

Wow.

A racist tweet by Elon Musk: For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone!" American culture, with its English-Scootts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here.

My English-Scots-Irish ancestors didn't die for multiculturalism; they killed for it. Killed Confederates who said shit exactly like this.

these guys are scary but also we’re going to humiliate them at the polls and enact a progressive agenda and they’ll look really bad in a few years

I think so!

Still image from the Super Bowl halftime show of Bad Bunny looking serious, talking directly to the camera, pointing at us.

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

This just broke me.

Bad Bunny’s show was beautiful. What a gorgeous tribute to Puerto Rico.

It can’t be lost on anyone that the performers are the ones being brutalized while forced to prove they belong here.

Halftime show was amazing.

Trump aides, scrambling to clean up a mess: "umm...a staffed posted it!"

Trump, mere hours later: "no i posted that on purpose and stand by it"

Every damn day he does something crazy and the entire MAGA leadership bends over backwards to pretend it wasn't crazy and to explain it away.

And then a few hours go by and he comes out and says "no, I did the crazy thing on purpose."

And repeat.

And the media never seems to remember that.

Seth Harp @sethharpesq X.com Ross Douthat @DouthatNYT challenged me to a debate on foreign policy. We recorded a 90-minute segment for his show, Interesting Times, on 1/15/26. But I defeated him so decisively that he refuses to air the footage. What an absolute coward. Today 11:41 AM Hi Is the NYT still planning to publish the interview I did with Ross three weeks ago? Today 1:01 PM Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise. Unbelievable cowardice on Ross's part and a giant waste of my time. I'm going to make it known what actually happened: Ross challenged me to a debate on foreign policy, got crushed, and doesn't have the intellectual or journalistic integrity to air the footage. Delivered

Seth Harp @sethharpesq. •6h Five days after we recorded, an editor of mine asked me how it went. I told her that @DouthatNYT was surprisingly unprepared to defend his point of view, and I suspected even then that they would spike it. From To seth.harp@protonmail.com * T Jan 20 凹 了 介 → It seemed to go just fine from my perspective although it did get a little heated towards the end when we debated foreign policy.

Friday 12:35 PM It's been more than 2 weeks since I was interviewed for Ross Douthat's show. I murdered him in our debate over foreign policy and was genuinely surprised that he wasn't better prepared to defend his point of view. Now I'm concerned that he will spike the episode.

But spiking the episode is ten times worse for his journalistic credibility than simply losing a debate, which happens to us all.

Seth Harp @sethharpesq. 5h ... Ross @DouthatNYT's producer blames their decision to spike our foreign policy debate on the crazy news cycle.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

I wonder what "the least racist person anywhere in the world" would have to say about this.

Oh, wait. Shit. Awkward.

Trump went from telling everyone that the the Clintons are guilty to being terrified they might testify. If you don’t know better, you might think they have some dirt on him

Buffalo’s water mains are managed under contract by a private company, Veolia North America, a subsidiary of a French company, Veolia Environmental, SA.

Everything happening now can be explained using Wilhoit’s Law - that the core of conservatism is that there are “in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect”.

Example: MAGA treatment of J6ers vs. Renee Good & Alex Pretti.

France raids Elon's CSAM factory HQ and soon after all our starlink terminals go dead.

Interesting.

Average citizens have show much greater courage against the Trump regime than law firms, the news media, universities, the judicial system and the leaders of the Democratic Party.

Newly released files shed new light on Chomsky and Epstein relationship Latest communications undermine Chomsky’s earlier claims that he primarily had financial dealings with Epstein

4. In 2012 I wrote “If people who claim to care about justice and humanity cannot resist what looks to me like blatant genocide denial, we find ourselves in a very dark place.” The same applies to advising a criminal abuser of girls and women. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

3. They’ve done the same thing in the Epstein case: there have been some frankly shocking attempts by some of Chomsky’s fans to insist there’s nothing to see here. The first version of this article was 100% apologetics: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

See No Evil How did genocide denial become a doctrine of the internationalist left?

2. It reminded me of something else as well: the way his supporters ignored the bleeding obvious – that he had picked the wrong side – and furiously closed ranks against people criticising or questioning him. www.monbiot.com/2012/05/21/s...
