Terminally online “revolutionaries”: “read theory and burn down a Walmart” (does neither)

Wine moms: commits arson on a possible ICE warehouse in broad daylight

Everyone in the Epstein emails is making a pubic statement like, “You have to understand: at the time, nobody CARED that he was raping girls!”

“The U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke … There is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot,” Stacey Abrams tells Anne Applebaum.

Trump’s brain is 'deteriorating disproportionately' — and it’s getting worse: psychiatrist Experts are weighing in on President Donald Trump's mental and physical health after his first year in office.Speaking with iPaper, Dr. John Gartner, American psychologist, psychiatrist and former assistant professor at John Hopkins Medical School, explained, "the main way to diagnose dementia is th...

Trump’s brain is 'deteriorating disproportionately' — and it’s getting worse: psychiatrist

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

A new theory explains why Trump keeps threatening global takeovers Neo-royalism challenges us to look beyond a century-old paradigm and see the hierarchical lens through which Trump justifies domination.

The world order as we’ve known for the last century is disappearing.

And in its place, a new order shaped by the private interests of individual men and their fiercest allies, not the interests, private or public, fair or foul, good or bad, of a nation.

Maybe Russia and China Should Sit This One Out Putin and Xi are just shocked, shocked by the American attack on Venezuela.

"The United States has now given Russia, China, and anyone else who wants to give it a try a road map for invading countries that displease them," argues Tom Nichols:

WSJ • LIVE 1hour ago Finance Industry Eyes Investment Opportunities in Venezuela By Brian Schwartz Some on Wall Street are already considering possible investment opportunities in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, according to Charles Myers, chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors and a former head of investment advisory firm Evercore. Myers said in an interview he is planning a trip to Venezuela with officials from top hedge funds and asset managers to determine whether there are investment prospects in the country under new leadership. The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors, among others,

And so it begins…

The funniest part is that the whole point of funding the crusades was to send your potential sources of domestic political instability (loud, violent lunatics) off on a mission where, worst case scenario, they were out of your hair for several years or, best case scenario, they died.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

Anarchism has some problems as a theoretical framework, but its basic formula of:

- no masters above
- no servants below
- chuck a bomb at the czar every once in a while

Almost never fails to be correct.

Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us Trump’s a schmuck. The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast Trump as petty and callous.

Following the news of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, on his flailing social media platform, Trump issued an ugly rant.

This foul and hate-driven conduct is nothing new. But his post about Rob suggests that he might be losing the ability to restrain himself.

There’s something doubly grating about the pious invocation of “Western civilization” by the sort of incurious dolt who wouldn’t know a Titian canvas, a Beethoven quartet, or a Socratic dialogue if whapped them upside the head.

Absolutely. Doing this remotely with drones or bombs is no different than pulling up in a boat and shooting them in the water. If this isn’t an illegal order, hard to imagine what could be.

Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.

Emma Goldman was right.

In a way Trump and Mamdani are similar. They are both populists fighting against the elite, it's just who they see as "the elite" differs.

Mamdani sees the elite as the billionaires who control the economic, political, and social systems of society.

Trump sees the elite as people who read books.

“Maybe someone who is currently suffering in silence will actually buy this book and be inspired to seek help too. Whether they are able to find any depends on how they were personally affected by 8 Dem senators, of which Fetterman was one, voting to reopen the government at the expense of millions”

Senate Democrats Just Made a Huge Mistake The shutdown was hurting Trump. Ending it helps him.

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:

Conservative rips Dems for going easy on the 'most corrupt presidency in history' During the 2000s, then-GOP strategist Steve Schmidt worked on the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush and the late John McCain. But the New Jersey native, like other Never Trump conservatives, expressed his disdain for President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement by leaving the Republican Party...

Tweet by Michael A. Cohen that says Trump denied disaster relief for blue states and approved it for red states, accusing him of rewarding supporters. He adds that in a democracy, Trump would be impeached for it. Below is a WGN News link titled “Trump denies disaster declaration for Illinois.”

Our presidents should serve all the states, not just the ones that voted for them.

It never stopped being birtherism Donald Trump is repackaging a familiar smear against Zohran Mamdani.

Cuomo is far from the only politician to attack Mamdani in this fashion.

Seems right
