I know that it's not comfortable for the majority of all backgrounds but what we're seeing is just US policing. ICE is the NYPD, the CPD etc... on the daily.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

There you have it.

My big problem about a lot of the dooming is that it views history as basically post Reagan, at best. Instability, social unrest, messy elections, outright fraud. Read some history you know?

We had a few years where things kinda worked, now we're in a messy reactionary period.

Based on my thorough analysis of girlboss trends, I believe Linda Yaccarino’s next move will be to launch a loosely themed technology podcast. It will have a staff of at least five people. Paris Hilton will be an early guest. Fewer than 5,000 listeners per episode

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."

Trump's brain is gone It really should be a bigger story.

"Trump has always been an ignoramus who masks his intellectual shortcomings with bombast and declarations of his own brilliance, but his rambling nonsensical responses in these latest interviews should set off alarms." — @playtyperguy.com

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

The founding documents said Black people were 3/5ths of a person.

Trump: “Somebody said, ‘Oh the shelves are going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”

A LOT of people do not want to hear it but in the United States at least, food has never been safer to eat, not to mention tastier

The economy SHRANK in the first quarter. Down from 2.4% growth in q4 to -0.3 in q1. Trump has officially cratered the strongest economy in the world in just a few months.

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.
