Democrats have obsessed over fine-tuning MESSAGES at the cost of fatal damage to their BRAND

This is what the WaPo lost its entire foreign affairs press corps for?

Anti-black animus has been the guiding principle of Trump’s entire life, personal and political. While *he’s* hardly made any effort to conceal it, our media and political class have often stepped in on his behalf.

Lindsay Vonn, starting her run, skiing off into the beautiful Italian alps

Vonn turning at high speed. A graphic shows that she has the fastest time of any competitor so far

honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph.
They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

How Corvette owners dress when their wife tells them they're going to a fancy restaurant picture of the baby from the Dinosaurs 80's tv show in white tennis shoes, really big blue jean shorts and a shortsleeve black tshirt with a wing decal on the left chest

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

Lmao

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

A classic tweet from @kennykeil [Bluto subtweeting after getting his ass whooped] I don't know who needs to hear this but spinach isn't a personality

A story relevant to ICE election threats.

On Election Day 2022 in Brazil, the Bolsonaro government had Federal Highway Police place roadblocks in his opponent Lula's northeastern strongholds.

But courts intervened; Lula won. The highway police chief is now serving a 24 years prison sentence.

lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 49m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Elon Musk responding to news of X office being raided in Paris: This is a political attack

French Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Investigating child sexual abuse material isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France.

Sacre bleu

Bezos fucked the paper and instead of fixing it he’s destroying it despite the fact that he could spend the money to make things right without even noticing its absence.

The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

this is literally Hegseth having a crash out drunky melt down because they let girls into the tree fort, the US Military is beefing with school children because the SecDef hates women so much its unreal.

Posting is essentially nothing, and I think ‘nothing’ puts me substantially ahead in terms of net positive impact than ‘light a garbage can on fire in front of media’ ngl

10 Movies to Stream for Black History Month

Not only is it Black History Month. It’s also its 100th anniversary!!

To commemorate its centennial, I wrote a list of 10 Black films, one from each of the last 10 decades, to stream.

The fundamental thrust of totalitarianism is that the government dictates terms of how every aspect of every organization, as well as your own life, operates. The Soviet Union, the Nazis, the modern PRC, all have commissars in every org to ensure they follow the government political line.

The harmonica lollllll

It's kind of funny to present this as the first problematic thing Richard Hanania has ever done

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew

Hey, it’s your gal, the queen of antifa. I’m here to remind you all that Will Stancil is a little bitchboy who doesn’t take opsec seriously. This is why you should listen to me, the open Hamas supporter encouraging you to commit arson on social media instead.

I never claimed to be a leader of anything, and I’m not, I’ve been doing what thousands of other Minnesotans have been doing. With that said I know why it’s working because I SEE IT WORK: because the observers are disciplined, committed, nonviolent, and open. Their channels are open and HUGE.

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”
