Largely fears over cancel culture among elites are likely motivated by the fact that they truly believe that their status and wealth should shield them from certain moral or ethical standards. Pretending it is anything else is delusional at this point.

Helluva investigation by @npr.org on how the DOJ "scrubbed from public view" multiple Epstein files that implicate Trump including in a case involving a 13 year old girl.

NPR showing it's work like this is important:

The left is going to end up with the CIA in the national divorce because educational polarization means knowing anything about China or Iran at all is woke coded, let alone leaning their language and history.

We need a national bathtub (in the French way).

I would personally hate it if someone used a drone to light this on fire. That’s not cool. What if Trump sees it? Think about his feelings.

Moms for Liberty ceremony

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community.

He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

You could do some sweet grinds on that bad boy

Minister of Al and Digital innovation Ministre de l'IA et de l'innovation numérique The horrifying tragedy in Tumbler Ridge has left families with unthinkable losses and shaken communities across Canada. Like many Canadians, I am deeply disturbed by reports that concerning online activity from the suspect was not reported to law enforcement in a timely matter. Canadians expect online platforms, including OpenAI, to have robust safety protocols and escalation practices in place to protect online safety and ensure law enforcement are warned about potential violence. I am in contact with OpenAl and other AI platforms regarding their safety protocols. Our government is closely monitoring this situation as the RCMP investigation takes place, while reviewing a suite of measures to ensure the safety of Canadians, particularly children. All options are on the table to ensure that public safety and the protection of our children are the cornerstone of any technology built into these systems from the outset.

Evan Solomon’s useless statement on OpenAI not alerting police about the Tumbler Ridge shooter.
What an absolute waste of space at the Cabinet table.

In 2025, Demartravion Trey Reed was found hanging from a tree at Delta State. Now Kyle Bassinga in Marietta. Both called suicides, little coverage. The imagery has history. I hope Kyle’s family seeks a private autopsy. #KyleBassinga

This should have been the foreword to Greg Grandin’s “America, América”

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.

Wow the exact same amount he was suing the IRS for. He just took it. Not only impeachable but [Redacted] as well.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

The cans turn blue

Gonna make one last push for this! Y'all come on and read this book with me and others this lent!

There is no bottom with these people. Think of how much we don't know about what is going on inside the concentration camps. I want to hear from every Democratic elected official and candidate about their plans for accountability once this regime is out of power.

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

well this is bad

My favorite kind of conservative is the Retrospective Republican. A creature who agrees everything prior to the current GOP leaders is bad. Capable of memorizing historical facts, incapable of historical application

Thanks to a crucial Supreme Court decision on its shadow docket that authorized immigration officers to racially profile people they thought might be undocumented, Operation Metro Surge saw officers target anyone — citizen or not — who wasn’t white for questioning, detention or, in many cases, brutal treatment. ICE began going door-to-door in predominantly minority neighborhoods to ask where residents were born, sometimes dragging them out of their homes at gunpoint. Officers indiscriminately fired pepper spray and tear gas at residents, including into the car of a family, hospitalizing a baby. “What that did was have an incredibly chilling effect on how people move about our communities,” said Richard Carlbom, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. “There are U.S. citizens who are Black, brown or Asian who won’t leave their house and we have to deliver food to them on a weekly basis because they’re afraid of being detained.”

One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

Everyone involved with this should be named, shamed, and blamed. The prison will not be big enough.

Not all heroes wear blue jeans

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
