Mass Deportation Will Save Renters Less Than $5 a Month President Trump wants to deport his way to affordability. But immigration can’t explain the housing crisis, and deportation won’t fix it.

Obviously "mass deportation will lower housing costs" was never a real argument but @mtkonczal.bsky.social crunched the numbers. Get ready to for crimes against humanity to save you a two liter of shasta mikekonczal.substack.com/p/mass-depor...

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

That dog is very stressed, maybe setting off some fireworks near it is a solution

A really fine piece of student journalism. Doing better on this story than elite rags.

Kinda shows the level of elite capture in this country when the guy with the lowest approval ratings in history is going “hey you fat pig! I’m going to hamburger conference to say fish sandwich! Also not a sex offender!” and the news is just starting to be like huh wonder if this guy is unpopular

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.

Tap out dude. I enjoy your podcast but this is cringe.

sorry, kids

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

Dad exposed Watergate; son road around for hours in Olivia Nuzzi’s Mustang.

This is the story of American journalism.

I'm Sorry ... Donald Trump (allegedly) did WHAT to Bill Clinton? YouTube video by Jemele Hill

Between the social media speculation about a Trump-(Bill) Clinton oral sex story, and finding out about Hitler’s small penis condition, I thought: That’s enough Internet for the day.

Then I said screw it and jumped on YouTube to discuss it. Tap in and subscribe!

what was his crime? being right? having a succulent correct take?!

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.

You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Joyce Carol Oates O @JoyceCarolOates X.com It is particularly strange to argue against empathy since "empathy" is generated by a normal human brain registering a mirror likeness in another person: an involuntary/instinctive recognition that the other person is in an essential way identical with you. notoriously psychopaths don't register this kinship & can even murder blood relatives without emotion. Hardly an ideal for humankind. © downwardly mobile gentrifier @Midwest... • 1h it is strange the billionaires usually become far rightwing politically. Power corrupts as Lord Acton wrote. They lose all empathy. 11:36 AM - 11/10/25 - 16K Views

Joyce Carol Oates O @JoyceCarolOates X.com Truly it was out of curiosity: why a person with unlimited resources exhibits so little appreciation or even awareness of the things that most people value as giving meaning to life. Just minimally well to do people donate to charities, local museums & libraries & the like; they support the commonweal. & unlike the very wealthy these people pay high income taxes. a timothy faust @taste_of_tbone • 18h i don't say things like this often, as i find them hyperbolic to the point of extreme dilution, so please believe me when I say that this is the most severe, graceful dissection of Elon Musk I've seen. Swift and effortlessly deep, like piano wire through tofu. Brutal...

She ain't done

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

The aesthetics of American fascism are so ass.

I swooned when Mamdani quoted Debs. Pure intoxication.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Woke up this morning to find that the people of New York City have re-lit the torch of the Statue of Liberty, sending a signal out to the rest of America that Trump's bullying tactics that seek to divide and debase any notion of solidarity among diverse communities can be defeated #TurnUpTheVolume

Opinion | Trump Is an Albatross

real sense in which last night was fairly predictable. real question is why our pundits and the elites who listen to them couldn’t see it. (gift link)

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not
