Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Trump needs you to simultaneously believe that it's nuts to think the president of a country could actually be a drug trafficker, and that we are going to war with another country because its president is actually a drug trafficker.

Crash course in hemodynamics:

Now I see why they wanted to rebrand to the Department of War. No one calls them 'defense crimes'

Seems like a weird thing to tweet on the day when your boss said he’d pardon someone convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

Post See new posts Conversation Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization. The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them. Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command. Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back. 6:42 PM · Nov 28, 2025 · 322.3K View

This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”

My kids have whooping cough, there are no toys on the shelves, and my brother-in-law was deported despite being a US citizen. But at least I know there won't be black Santa Clauses this year.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

NYT headline: Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case President Trump said he would pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, who prosecutors said partnered with cocaine traffickers as Hondurass president and is serving a 45-year sentence.

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!”

also trump:

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

three screenshots from Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The director, sitting at a desk, says: "I've just come into possession of a cure for fascism." We see Hitchcock's hand lining up bullets. "They come in capsule form. For best results, they must be taken internally." Hitchcock holds up a revolver "Here is the handy applicator."

Alfred Hitchcock's cure for fascism

Fee-for-service needs to be dragged in to the daylight, and messily killed.

Contraloría constata crisis institucional en la CCSS por fallas en sistema ERP Informe se hizo público mientras la presidenta de la CCSS comparecía en una comisión legislativa.

Entre la 'encuesta' y el papelón en la AL la semana pasada, poca exposición se le dió al informe de la CGR sobre el ERP de la CCSS.

Están quebrando a la institución por medio de una implosión programada para privatizar. Los sobresueldos de Marta Esquivel son apenas un adorno comparado a esto.

Valioso reportaje de la Nación de hoy al respecto de las personas en situación de calle de San José. Una problemática que extiende en números y en área, que evidencia un fallo estructural donde los primeros afectados son los más vulnerables, pero nos afecta a todos los que aquí vivimos y trabajamos.

Arthur Kurt Vonnegut would have been 103 today

In 2006, a student was assigned to write a famous author for advice, and this was Vonnegut's reply

Lo que le ha sucedido, lo que le han hecho, a La Nación es lamentable. Voy scrolling, veo 4 títulares, 3 de los cuales son clickbait. Sigo bajando, veo lo mismo. Que desastre. 3 de esos titulares me hacen cuestionar cuál es la definición de "noticia" y "pertinencia" que manejan.

Yo había desistido, pero por ser año electoral renové mi subscripción para estar informado por varios frentes (el pensó...), y solo tengo que hacer log in 50 veces al día y mover 10 anuncios con el dedo para poder saber que pasó con una contrincante de mira quién baila...

Centrists will always vote for fascism if the alternative means any personal inconvenience.

Páguenle a la caja...

This administration has quite clearly violated both US and international law, in conjunction with the El Salvador’s corrupt autocracy.

Will anyone with the power to do anything about these crimes do anything about them?

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Per Customs & Border Protection, Department of Justice, and DEA data, 80-90% of foreign fentanyl that has been brought into the US each year since 2019 has been brought by American citizens coming through ports of entry.

Only 0.02% of people arrested for entering illegally even possess any fentanyl

ESTO ES PERIODISMO!!!!!
felicidades a Ambar Segura, que profesional más extraordinaria.
Dar los hechos y explicar los errores.
Utilizar el periodismo para educar y prevenir desinformación!
Mis respetos para Ambar. Si alguien la conoce denle mis felicitaciones por favor.

Mínimo 1050 centros educativos tienen órdenes sanitarias, nuestros estudiantes tienen niveles de matemáticas y de redacción de primaria, la deserción sigue en niveles similares desde hace 10 años, reducen becas y sin embargo, el mediocre ministro está más preocupado por observador.cr/mep-no-permi...

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.

He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

nerd: hey fellas, i hear alot of calls for abolishing police. but how will we stay safe? buff shirtless bald guy on laptop: King, police abolition is not about defunding every department instantly. It's about a gradual process o strategically reallocating resources, funding and responsibility away from police and toward community based models of safety, support and prevention. The people who respond to crises in our community should be people who are best equipped to deal with those crisis. insanely buff guy on couch with laptop: Friend I want to echo that last statement and dig down a little further. Crime isn't random. Most off the time, it happens when someone has been unable to meet their basic needs through other means. By shifting money away from police and toward services that actually meet those needs, we'll be able to get to a place where we won't need to rob banks. jacked dude in gray tee shirt at a desktop pc: Couldn't have said it better myself, King! This is bigger than just police brutality; it's about how the prison industrial complex, the drug war, immigration law and the web of policy, law and culture that forms our criminal justice system has destroyed millions o lives, and torn apart families. Cops don't prevent crime, they cause it, through ongoing violent disruption of our communities.

Mi mamá casi se murió por esto.
Váyase a la mierda, Rodrigo.
Pasaron esta norma sólo porque Fabricio no votó para que le quitaran la inmunidad.
Usted compró su inmunidad con la vida de muchas mujeres.

Salario mínimo ajustado por poder adquisitivo.
Costa Rica está muy abajo.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.
