If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

"They can't possibly be as stupid, corrupt, and incompetent as they seem to be!"

Oh, yes. They not only can be. They ARE.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

A short-haired dilute tortoiseshell cat - so dilute she looks like an opal - sitting on a table and considering the linen tablecloth, which is in need of ironing. Behind her are two bookcases of mystery and true-crime books and a cabinet where we keep our store copies of games for patrons to try.

A medium-haired charcoal tuxedo cat leans in close to study the headband of an attractive old copy of "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" randomly posed next to Sackville-West's biography of Joan of Arc and a Baedeker handbook for London (all sold already, sorry)

Missing these two a lot today. Nierme's been gone two years, and we lost Logan in June.

They had so many friends and admirers, as much snuggling as they wanted, and many sunny windowsills and toys; she was 19 when she passed, and he was 18.

But well-lived lives are always too short 🐾💔 #caturday

Kamala Harris’s nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention was both unusual and historic. Not only was she the first woman of color to be nominated for the presidency by a major party, but she also emerged as the party’s choice without having competed in any nominating contests, an outcome made possible by Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the candidacy. National nominating conventions are important opportunities for parties and candidates to draw media attention, and this coverage shapes the political impact of conventions. This was especially important in 2024, given the shortened nature of the Harris campaign. Using a sample of newspapers and TV news programs, we find that the media over emphasized controversial issues such as the war in Gaza and immigration while under emphasizing other substantive policy areas such as the economy. In addition, the coverage tended to amplify attention to so-called “women’s issues” and downplay Harris’s patriotic appeals. These findings highlight the divergence between what the candidate emphasized and what the media reported, with important implications for public perception of the campaign and Harris’s policy priorities.

"These findings highlight the divergence between what the candidate emphasized and what the media reported" hmmmmm

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

imagine knowing literally anything about Haiti and deciding to try this

An attorney outside the court who witnessed this summarized ICE’s lack of due process perfectly:

“If they had the wrong person, then they didn’t know who they were looking for, which calls into question whether they had the legal right to seize anybody,” Weizenbaum said. “It’s very frightening.”

Grok: "The real Final Solution was the friends we gassed along the way"

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

JFC. Lord, have mercy.

WW2 is a great case study. We hanged a lot of Nazi war criminals, & a lot fewer Japanese war criminals, despite the abundance of them. The result is that we have modern Germany, where they build monuments to their murder victims, & modern Japan, where they build memorials to the murderers.

Yep. We have a whole Constitution about it and everything.

Also, as the Coast Guard has done (literally for centuries), investigating cargo and interrogating crew has high potential for important intelligence. Blowing up everything is for amateur twats playing at ‘bullies’.

It should be easy for educated, rational citizens to hold these two thoughts in mind: drug traffickers are the bad guys but due process of law protects us all.

Being against blowing up alleged drug traffickers at sea on the president's word does NOT make one a supporter of drug traffickers.

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

It’s ingrained and indoctrinated on US military members not to follow Unlawful orders. Trump never has taken his oath seriously, he will never understand this.

I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

Abusing his position to harass a student into sleeping with him should, in fact, be a fireable offense. The fact he strategized about it with a convicted child rapist is just icing on top. He also gave the victim a racist code name in those conversations, so he's an all around *gem*.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

While new derogatory terms for Trump are often eye roll-inducing, White Idi Amin cooks

He mocked Needy Amin.

“He said his recent comparison of Trump to Uganda's dictator - "Idi Amin in white face" - may have contributed to the current situation.
"When I called Donald Trump Idi Amin, I thought I was paying him a compliment," Soyinka said, "he's been behaving like a dictator."

calling TCW "wa-luigi coates" is... god.

Jilted NYPD sergeant arrested for posing as ICE agent, ordering woman he met online report to immigration The indictment alleges Sgt. Atickul Islam claimed to be the New York field office director for ICE when he contacted the victim on March 29.

New York Daily News:

"An NYPD sergeant was facing federal charges Tuesday for impersonating an ICE agent and demanding a woman he met online report with her family to an immigration facility — a hoax he carried out in revenge for her rebuffing his advances, according to police sources."
