And all the hate directed at Kamala in my feed is evidence that one of Reagan’s evil geniuses was dividing America into red & blue, rather than Jackson’s more uplifting rainbow coalition. “Stronger together” kinda got lost & 1%ers rule.

Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”

It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.

At some point we're just going to have to be comfortable calling the terminally stupid what they are.

Trump is rewarding Russians who are helping Iran target our military

The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems.

Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.

Surely this is not shocking, but Rogan had most of the big anti-trans scientists that my reporting found to be in the Epstein files on his podcast.

Krauss even tried to connect Epstein to Rogan at one point.

funny thing is Trump I tried to zero out the budget of the OPIC, but failing to do so because it turns out we want a US vehicle to counter Chinese overseas investment, they created the DFC in 2018 to allow more risk than OPIC did. but there's no risk pool in the world big enough to write *this* shit

Mirror, mirror: Dems’ Israel problems look a lot like the GOP on Ukraine
In this polarized political landscape, support for Israel and Ukraine are now becoming partisan issues, with GOP elected officials and voters overwhelmingly supportive of Israel, while Democrats are standing by Ukraine

Jewish Insider fails to realize that Republicans oppose Ukraine for bad reasons and Democrats are increasingly opposed to Israel for good reasons

“We can no longer prevent an Iran War, but we can shine light on the past and let the facts inform the present. I wish officials had heeded Friedman’s warnings in 1990, when I was a child. I wish they had at least tried. There are children who need us to try now.“

Who could have imagined that this strike on Iran would actually be a proxy war between the US and Russia.

Oh, literally everybody, you say?

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

Why didn’t you know this? Platner lies in reporters’ faces but no one fact-checks him. When his Nazi tattoo was first reported, he ran to Tommy Vietor’s podcast for damage control. He told his false leaving-the-Marines story; Vietor laughed with him. No hard questions for your buddies. 6/

Platner’s excuse is a new tattoo policy; he calls it “stupid”. But the Marines aren’t stupid and they needed men. They ‘grandfathered in’ all currently-serving Marines, exempting them from the rules, for all but one class of tattoos: those that were "racist ...or extremist group.. related". 4/

If they start targeting each other’s water desalination plants, the region may end up with tens of millions of thirsty refugees. Trump is playing a game of Mutual Assured Destruction with a culture that glorifies martyrdom. What could possibly go wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.

US Postal Service expects to run out of cash in a year without help from Congress, postmaster says The U.S. Postal Service will run out of cash within a year unless Congress lifts a decades-old cap and allows the agency to borrow more money.

I can't help but to feel they sabotaged the USPS on purpose

Netanyahu Finally Found a President Willing to Buy Into His Iran Dream The only way for the Israeli prime minister to redeem himself after October 7, 2023, was to turn that calamity into a region-altering strategic triumph. For that he crucially needed the U.S.

Netanyahu has been wrong every time he has recommended some new military action to the US because his interests are more personal self-preservation than security.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
