Swifties tend to think all Taylor Swift criticism is insincere, which is wild when we’re talking about an album written almost entirely in memes

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

'Pro-Life’ Groups Brag They Killed Funding for Children's Brain Cancer Research Conservatives are targeting $20 million in NIH research allegedly using fetal tissue

Conservatives have been bragging all week that they got the Trump administration to pull NIH funding from 17 studies using fetal tissue.

What the 'pro-life' movement won't tell you is that one of those studies was seeking to cure brain cancer in children.

β€œI love making women upset” is a really underestimated motivation of modern conservatism

First Came Tea. Then Came the Male Rage. The app was meant to make dating safer for women. Data breaches exposing its users show why it was so popular in the first place.

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensibleβ€”it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.

When the dust has settled, we should probably take a look at A) the incel right's sweaty eagerness to masculinize the Trump/Musk split as the way gladiatorial men with great big weenies fight and B) the speed with which just about everyone else compared them to women or gay men.
