Increasingly bemused

The Commanders confirmed that they expect the penalty for missing this target by a year is only $10 million dollars, and only to a max of 5 years or $50 million.

Compared to a loss to the city of $750 million dollars.

This is ridiculous

Look at that exquisite dvd collection!

Spelled on the windows of the State Department, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”. Dated July 11th, 2025

If you tap and zoom in, you’ll see it:

WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN
RIGHTS

Spelled from the windows of the U.S. State Department, July 11th. A quiet defiance. Because only solidarity, strength, and resistance can hold the line against rising fascism.

Helloooo! #PigeonSky

Which is really saying something

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

Rooting for you!!!

Former President Bill Clinton, who was first elected governor at 32 years old, says that 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani doesn't have enough experience to be NYC mayor.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

Happy Juneteenth!
Happy Pride!

I just started graduate school, and all 2 group projects have been me managing my assigned partners’ AI usage. The quality of their work is poor and I’m made to feel like a shrew for insisting they write independently.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

the thing about Israel conducting an insane campaign of arbitrary violence against Iran while we were trying to negotiate with Iran is that, fundamentally, US foreign policy was the target, not Iran

It looks about as big as some of the smaller protests this year.

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.”

Just to reinforce, here’s the text. It can include a stadium.

Yep, Congress turned it over to the city in December 2024 in the form of a 99 year lease.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

The Big Wooden Horse Outside the Gates Might Be Filled With Soldiers, But Troy Should Still Bring It In

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Not to mention in LOTR lore it’s tainted by Sauron. For a thousand years, anyone who thinks they can use it for their own purposes becomes corrupted.

Between Thiel and Karp, there was never any chance Palantir would be on the side of liberty or freedom. The name choice alone was ominous, never mind the mass data and surveillance applicability. The perfect tool for fascism.

trans people are real and bathrooms and sports are made up. if you act like that's the other way around i do not have to hear your argument because it is based on a false premise
