perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Ehud Olmert, "It depends on one person, Donald Trump. If he decides it has to end, it will end"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Is the question of a Palestinian state on anyone's agenda in Israel?"

EO, "It's on my agenda, and on the agenda of quite a few Israelis, but not on the Israeli gov's agenda"

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

Lmfao they're slowly backing away from a guy in a frog suit like he's an SCP

Opinion: Nicola Willis is right: the economy isn't as bad as the 'merchants of misery' claim Blaming the current state of the economy on Willis' leadership ignores aspects of the bigger picture, writes Dennis Wesselbaum.

Irrespective of correctness, let this be a retort to all the “there’s no free speech on our campuses” crowd. Dennis can write this piece praising the ex-political nemesis of his now-boss and be 100% confident that next promotion round it will HELP his chances of becoming a full professor.

The people (Tories and Reform) who tell you your rights are safe if we leave the ECHR as they’ll replace them with British laws also told you our trade, borders and NHS was safe if we left the EU because they’d negotiate amazing trade deals, take control of our borders and fix the NHS…..

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

this country is so funny: a series of welfare subsidies that end up in the hands of landlords and private childcare providers; a chronically unaffordable housing market; a publicly-owned electricity generation and retail racket; oligopolies in supermarket and telecommunication sectors lol

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

2 million Italians, nationwide. More planned across Europe. In Florence, marched on the Italian Football training ground, to stop upcoming match against Israel. Sports boycott is gaining currency. Israel pariah state.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

The musics still playing, even though some of the performers are being carried out in body bags

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

As someone who wrote a book literally titled WHITE FLIGHT, I’d just like to say that the argument that *whites* were the victims of violence in neighborhood transitions is so laughably racist it’s almost insane.

Government explored ban on people voting outside their electorate The justice minister had said it was “worth exploring” requiring people to be in their electorate to vote, one of the ideas for cutting down on the number of special votes.

Nice democracy you got here. But don't worry, we're only planning to disenfranchise an entire electorate's worth of people

How Tom Homan wound up ensnared in an FBI contracts-for-cash sting A former associate of Trump’s border czar allegedly proposed a $1 million scheme last year that put FBI agents on Homan's trail.

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

"She had tears streaming down her face, and she told me one of the ICE agents pulled out his cell phone, laughing, and took a selfie,"
