I read the headlines as one sentence.
We’re up to once-a-month regime change now and it’s only the second year.
Make Commodore Guff Trans!
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
Once again I am begging commentators to read the book Hegseth wrote which outlines his Christian Nationalist views on Iran, Israel, and the need for an American Israeli religious war.
American Crusade is a guidebook to all of Hegseth’s actions.
The film follows an Irish refugee girl and a Choctaw boy who meet in 1847 New York and journey across America together, drawing on the real historical bond between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
I own Truman Capote’s cufflinks.
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
The Marine’s name is Brian. We went to high school together. He was class president. He was the school mascot. Everyone loved him. He enlisted in the Marines right after graduation (pre-9/11). And a fucking repugnant US Senator broke his hand. They broke Brian’s hand.
The child care block grant gets less than $9 billion a year for the entire country
Kansas is invalidating trans residents' licenses even if they HAVEN'T changed their gender markers, according to this reporting from @natezuke.bsky.social @assignedmedia.org:

British Lincoln.
really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying
I just responded to his thread with this as well, as was my experience.
Once again there is this assertion that disabled/high risk/immunocompromised people live in a vacuum, like we don’t have healthy family members around us or caretakers who desperately need to stay healthy to avoid endangering our health or becoming disabled from their next Covid infection.
Also nothing to be said of the kids who are told they’re gay because their families don’t want them to be trans and they go well into adulthood with their own traumas and problems.
“To this end, dialect coaches on historical films face a dilemma: do they recreate the speech of the time as faithfully as possible and risk losing the audience, or use something more contemporary? How far back could we go and still understand English?”
This is how you push back on Republican liars:
“Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
This is eugenics
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
My wife got a call from a friend asking her what their friend should do. They are stuck in UAE. She hasn’t worked for State in years. They can’t find anyone to contact. When a president only sees value in spectacle and death, it doesn‘t leave a budget for care and lifesaving services.
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.
It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.
Screenshot of news article printed in Yahoo from Jewish Insider: “Platner faced blowback this week for boosting a social media comment about a looming war with Iran by Stew Peters, a neo-Nazi influencer who has frequently espoused antisemitic tropes and engaged in Holocaust denial. Platner's team said the post was made in error and "immediately" removed it after learning it elevated a "despicable account." In late January, however, Platner sat for a lengthy online interview with Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has also promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Near the end of their hour-long conversation, Platner, a fellow military veteran, called himself "a longtime fan" of Cornacchia's YouTube channel, "Valhalla VFT," and said it was "an absolute pleasure being" on the show.”
Screenshots of the Valhalla VFT YouTube channel thumbnails include vile racist images of the “Somali fraud scandal” and “robberies and looting” due to SNAP benefits being cut, depicting black people robbing stores
Graham Platner, the guy who had to cover his Nazi tattoo to save his senate campaign in Maine, went on the YouTube channel “Valhalla VFT” in January where he said he’s a “longtime fan of the show.” Check out these vile racist thumbnails from the channel & reporting on the antisemitic host.
