Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

I want this so bad

good blog, imo: "We don’t know the shooter’s politics or their motives...What we do know is that they, like all other Americans, had easy access to a gun."

He was just, like, a guy. Not a politician. Not a statesman of any kind. Just some really mean guy. Flags at half mast. Yankee moment of silence. Whatever the shit this is.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

At least 3 injured in shooting at Evergreen High School At least three people from Evergreen High School are in critical condition after a shooting involving and “active assailant,” Jefferson County officials said.

I wish Charlie Kirk hadn't been shot, and my heart is breaking over yet another school shooting that's unfolding right now in Colorado.

WHY should anyone & everyone should have a gun anywhere & everywhere?

When we need to live with so much fear, we can't be a Free People.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

I disagree with many things he'a said but the one that impacts my life personally is one i really disagree with to the point where i would rather vote for someone else. That is not canceling, it's politics.

Grow up, stop whining. Win elections.

This is just so great

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

Out at the Bremerton #NoKings protest with my dad ❤️

Holding a sign in front of the Capitol "Killing our speaker won't silence us."

Proud of Minnesotans

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

It feels like a bad thing to cheer on Disney and universal, but in this case they must cook

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

very similar to anyone talking
about a full ban on abortion, or women being prosecuted for miscarriages

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

Elon Musk has accused Donald Trump of being in the Epstein Files. Here’s the most important follow-up question: was Joe Biden too demented to release this information? Read my book to find out. Jake Tapper tomorrow in the NYT

He knows that Trump's name being in Epstein's contacts has been known for years, right? Epstein is literally on tape, soon before his arrest, saying that Trump was his best friend.

OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD

MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT

Every so often, political media will go out of its way to create a story and then externalize it as though it happened naturally at the hands of some other party. "Continued questions" from whom? "Emerging" from where? This is police shooting-speak.

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”

Bigotry. But quieter.

Donald Trump does not have a "mandate" for any of this He's hardly the first president to claim he represents the people's will—or God's. But he might be the most brazen.

Happy #MayDay to workers here and around the world!

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all.

It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.
