Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.
For a while now, I've been convinced that higher ed in the USA is on its way out, overall. Bit by bit, the US institutions are withering. Tenure means nothing, academic freedom means nothing, learning means nothing. We're witnessing the decline and fall of academia.
The price to renounce US citizenship will be cut from $2,350 to $450. It was free before 2010.
By their hair extensions, lip fillers, and neck crosses ye shall know them.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
How about “Every congressman with an ounce of integrity should be screaming for Trump to be removed from office”?

It’s not the start of an oligarchy. — We’re in the thick of it.
“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.”
- William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 406
“Jews are overrepresented in the media.”
No, no, no, you’re thinking of cops. Cops are overrepresented in the media.
Can the mayor get a restraining order against Michael Powell of the Atlantic? Because this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession
Mamdani Derangement Syndrome is a predictable result of a Muslim progressive being elected mayor of the neocon/neolib media capital of the world.

The Free State of Florida, where women who don’t want a C-Section will be dragged into a court proceeding *while in labor* to defend their choice.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
A group seeking donations for Trump sent out an email showing the president watching the somber transfer of US troops killed in the Iran War. The email says donors can get "private national security briefings and "the inside scoop DIRECT" from Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/u...
Mark my words--- Polymarket and other predictive market schemes have the potential to become a serious threat to press freedom/journalists.
Yes, we’ve been sounding the alarm about this. newsguy.substack.com/p/betting-an...
