Oh my God…

Sometimes mainstream media creates bias by framing things "objectively" that don't have two sides. This is not that. There is no possible way you can look at Trump's McCarthyite extortion of higher ed and describe it as "deal-making." This is a deliberate choice by NYT to be Trump friendly.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

Imagine if Democrats had run on this instead of "we also hate trans people" 😩

Literally within one year of the end of slavery, white propagandists were already calling black people lazy freeloaders

Between not endorsing Mamdani, voting against Bernie's resolution against arms sales to Israel and voting in favor of many of Trump's nominees, Booker seems out of step with where the Democratic Party's base is heading. Hard to see how he runs as a progressive in 2028.

It can only be Kings whose very name expresses what is most vile and low, who dared to arrogate the right of reducing to slavery men made like themselves, whom nature had made free. "The King of Spain furnished you abundantly with arms and ammunition. Use them to tighten your chains. • • . As for us, we have need for no more than stones and sticks to make you dance the Carmagnole. , • ,"I "You have received commissions and you have guar antees. Guard your liveries and your parchments. One day they will serve you as the fastidious titles of our former aristocrats served them. If the King of the French who drags his misery from court to court has need of slaves to assist him in his magnificence, let him go seek it among other Kings who count as many slaves as they have sub jects. "You conclude, vile slaves as you are, by oHering us the protection of the King, your Master. Learn and say to Casa Calvo [the Spanish Marquis] that republicans cannot treat with a King. Let him come and you with him, we are ready to receive you as republicans should. , , ," That was the style, the accent of Toussaint and his men. The British and the Spaniards could not defeat it. All they could oHer was money, and there are periods in hu· man history when money is not enough,

"That was the style, the accent of Toussaint and his men. The British and the Spaniards could not defeat it. All they could offer was money, and there are periods in human history when money is not enough."

Sure this looks bad when you put it like this, but some college kids in America waved signs that frightened me so it is complicated.

I think it rules that we went through 10 years of reactionary politics centered around “oh are your FEELINGS hurt!?” and now they’re all like “I do not feel safe in any city in America and criticizing Israel is the modern day pogroms.”

I love reading the news in 2025, which falters between most evil thing you’ve ever seen and stupidest thing you’ve ever seen

BREAKING: Texas Govenor orders the arrest of Democrats who fled the state

Or how American banks and companies worked with the Nazis throughout the war. Or how Coke created Fanta to supply them. Or how the Dulles brothers, who completely shaped post war US foreign policy, were both extremely sympathetic to the Reich.

If it were true that the Third Reich was pure evil diametrically opposed to any US ideology, it would be very difficult to explain how Hitler saw Jim Crow as a model, how many US politicians supported the Reich right up until WWII, and how we helped thousands of Nazis escape punishment.

The greatest propaganda coup of modern history is U.S. making the Nazis the universal symbol of pure evil, detached from any political ideology, that we “defeated.”

I bet this hits so hard if you’re extremely stupid

WSJ OPINION The WNBA and Caitlin Clark's Civil Rights If the league won't act to protect its superstar from a hostile environment, the government should do so. By Sean McLean Aug. 3, 2025 at 11:38 am ET

WSJ OPINION Ms. Clark faces a textbook hostile work environment, as the Supreme Court described in Harris v. Forklift Systems (1993), with severe or pervasive conduct altering her conditions. Statistical disparities like those she faces often prompt federal probes and lawsuits. The precedent is clear: In Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine (1981), courts outlined disparate treatment under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, letting employees allege less favorable treatment than peers due to race-warranting investigation without direct animus. That shifts the burden to the employer to prove nondiscriminatory motive.

When I saw the headline I assumed the “civil rights” bit was going to be some clunky metaphor, but no, this WSJ columnist is sincerely urging Caitlin Clark to sue for reverse race discrimination under a hostile work environment theory www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

When the party built on masculine hierarchy performs masculine hierarchy

Democrats have a 2.3 point lead on the generic ballot, which is a historically anomaly with a president this unpopular. In 2017, when Trump was *more* popular, their lead was +6. And we have two polls this week showing Democrats far more unpopular with voters than Republicans.

UPDATE: Governor Abbott just threatened to REMOVE THE TEXAS DEMS FROM THEIR SEATS if they don’t return by 3pm Monday (so Republicans can steal 5 seats in Congress using a special session about the flooding as cover) — and charge them with FELONIES.

We are over the cliff.

Already just reads like a completely normal news story

You read the term “thermostatic” on here all the time because it’s an iron law of modern politics that one party’s losses are the other’s gains. Democrats are so ineffective that they’ve reversed that trend. They’re LOSING popularity along with the GOP.

An effective opposition party would have three objectives

1. Oppose this lawless administration
2. Have a plan for holding those responsible accountable
3. Offer an alternative vision

Dems are completely failing on all three fronts, which is why they’re even more unpopular than Republicans

Just saw a clip of Mamdani getting grilled on MSNBC about what he’s going to do about billionaires fleeing NYC if his proposal for a 2% tax increase on the ultra wealthy goes through. Hilarious that we call this “left wing media.”

I’m sorry, how would that be triggering?

Complete and total hysteria. We’ve never seen anything like it.

Larry Summers: Based on what I have read and heard so far, the agreement reached between the Federal government and @Columbia is an excellent template for agreements with other institutions including @Harvard. First, academic freedom is preserved as the University maintains academic autonomy. Second, ongoing reform with respect to anti Semitism, maintenance of order, promoting merit-based admissions and hiring, and strengthening the commitment to intellectual excellence is reinforced and a framework for further reform is established. Third, normality is restored with a return to normal funding patterns, availability of visas for foreign students and removal of legal overhangs. I, like anyone, could quibble with aspects of the program and much will depend on what both Columbia and the government do in the future. But this may be the best day higher education has had in the last year. 3:57 AM • 7/24/25 • 479K Views

Osama Abu Rabee PRESS @dn_osama_rabee Follow Eighteen Palestinians were martyred and 198 others injured while attempting to access aid near the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, according to Fares Afanah, head of emergency and ambulance services in the north. With no functioning health system and a critical shortage of ambulances, first responders were forced to stack bodies and wounded civilians inside a single vehicle during evacuations from al-Sudaniyya. The victims had gathered in desperation for flour and food when Israeli occupation forces opened fire, turning a supposed aid route into a site of mass bloodshed.

Emaciated bodies stacked like firewood inside an ambulance.

Israel killed 18 food aid seekers and injured 198 others at a single distribution site today in Gaza.

Because of the critical shortage of ambulances, first responders were forced to transport the visibly emaciated bodies in a single vehicle stacked like firewood.
