I suspect the press will go with "the disgraced Prince Andrew" for the foreseeable future, but that title needs to go too.

One thing I've been thinking about with these statements is how all politics are kind of national now, and if this isn't disqualifying in Maine, it's still going to potentially cost Dems elsewhere in ways that will be harder to quantify

All of them must be renamed, and the plaques need to come down. That they haven't been changed already is scandalous.

The appropriate move would be to turn Prince Andrew over to the police instead of stripping his Duke of York title. The stench of his Epstein ties and the Virginia Giuffre hush money will always haunt what's left of the Royal Family.

Protecting pedophiles is unforgivable.

Pritzker should absolutely say something here, but we’re going to see these scenes play out across the country, and the Democratic Party in general needs to come up with a response that doesn’t throw the people they’re encouraging to take the streets under the bus.

The immediate follow-up question to Starmer or any politician expressing outrage at Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans not being allowed to travel to the Villa match should be if they condone Maccabi ultras that routinely sing anti-Palestinian and pro-IDF chants during matches.

Keir Starmer is a knowledgeable football fan. He's also so wrong on this it's sad.

Even without their genocide apologia, Maccabi Tel Aviv ultras have a notorious reputation for raising hell. The violence and riots in Amsterdam were abhorrent. Can't risk a repeat at Birmingham and Villa Park. #AVFC

This isn't even remotely believable BS. Dave Taylor would really have us believe that those American flags with swastika emblems hung themselves up.

If it looks, smells, and acts like a Nazi. . .

Carrying dirty water for a nakedly corrupt, fascist, and white nationalist regime has consequences.

Also, the decent DOJ or FBI career officials that were doxed can't be used as a crutch to defend DHS, ICE, or anyone engaging in illegal conduct on behalf of Trump, Stephen Miller, Kash or Bondi.

We have free copies for anyone in prison in the United States or Canada.

Joe Rogan, Youtubers, propagandists, and thought leaders across the Manosphere who eagerly laundered Trump's racism and fascism didn't grow a conscience overnight.

They'll say anything to keep their audiences. If criticizing kidnappings, ICE raids, or even Trump accomplishes that, they'll do it.

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

You must read this account because it will make you understand how evil Ghislene Maxwell & how heinous it is for Trump to even consider pardoning this monster. Kudos to the late Virginia Giuffre for her bravery and battle to redeem her young and vulnerable self www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Infantilizing white men that commit atrocious, immoral, racist, and criminal acts is why we are where we are.

These aren't kids that slipped up or "made mistakes". They're grown men that got caught slinging around racist hate speech. Predictably, JD Vance is making excuses for them.

Plausible deniability for anything fishy that happens in Venezuela or if some fatal tragedy befalls Nicolas Maduro just went out the window.

Everyone will assume that the Americans are behind it, and that Trump ordered it.

why are sports like this

I will always back Russell Westbrook because of how hard he plays, but this is a match made in hell.

Whatever the long-term strategy is in Sacramento, fielding what's left of DeRozan, LaVine, Schroder *and* Russ has all the makings of a 50 loss season. Hopefully I'm wrong.

a person too narcissistic and egotistical to engage in self-reflection and who has also surrounded themselves with people who will indulge their worst qualities, many such cases.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Journalists (and pundits) can't hide behind not wanting to lose access to a Nazi like Vance as an excuse to not ask him about the Nazis he's defending.

The media never adjusted to a political landscape where shame and fear of being shamed didn't keep people in line any more.

The wider public will have to bring it back by literally running vile racists like Sam Douglass (who Republicans were happy to endorse until this surfaced) out of office.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Grit n' Grind Grizzlies will always have a special place in my heart. They zigged when the NBA zagged, and would have won a title if not for the Toney Allen adjustment against G-State.

Linsanity and the We Believe Warriors were wildly entertaining. The Dirk & Friends Mavs that beat the Heatles too.

I'm definitely intrigued by this hire. Hopefully Jack Wilshire does well at Luton. He's definitely kept his head down and honed his craft without much fanfare.

no coincidence

If the regime can't find enough violent criminals, they will shift the definition of what constitutes a "violent criminal" to suit their goals.

They're laying the groundwork to deem any protestor, activist, or opposition politician a criminal. Even journalists that criticize them aren't safe.

I laid out the details of the extraordinary corruption case against Benjamin Netanyahu a few months ago in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. It seems like it’s helped him bond with Trump.

Trump has always viewed corruption as the "cost of doing business", but publicly advocating for Netanyahu to get a pardon is beyond sickening.

And of course, the partisans in Knesset loudly cheered.
