I will not be boarding the "we must be warm & welcoming to regretful Trump voters!" train. When my dad died during the Biden admin, my mother was deprogrammed from FOX News. She isn't inclined to turn the news on herself, but his having piped it in daily.... I couldn't get her to vote for Harris.

According to this story, the uni hired a bunch of private security goons to harass, intimidate and threaten students who engage in disfavored speech. I don’t see much justification for calling them “investigators.”

My mother canceled last-minute on my birthday dinner last year and made no excuse beyond "not feeling like it." I told my partner that was why both her children left her church: Because she'd treat us in ways she would *never* have treated another church member. This question is everything.

When Kermit told 2025 grads to "keep pretending," he may have meant the job market. The rush to AI robots is already crimping entry-level jobs; a top CEO warns of 10-20% unemployment in 1-5 years How the AI threat launched a Summer of Hallucination. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

"Authorities told WBTV that adults must be held accountable in these types of incidents and should ensure their children are in a safe environment. The driver of the SUV has not been charged at this time, per WCNC."

I really, really need white Americans to care about protecting the people this president and his goon squad target the most as much as they care about making white Americans who voted for this murderous shitbag a second time FEEL better. What is the polite way to say, "fuck your feelings?" Because.

2021: There is no AI, you're doing your own laundry. 2023: CEOs are saying that AI is coming and will do your laundry. 2025: There is AI. You're still doing your own laundry. 2027: You're doing the AI's laundry.

Has no one ever seen a woman hounded, online and off, by the right before? "...huh? What's Gamergate?" We don't have time for you to re-take Remedial Fascism 091. You know their tactics by now! If her name isn't public, maybe it's because she doesn't want it to be, and her colleagues respect that.

Not a day goes by #onhere that I don't see 3-4 Substack links. Once y'all can quit that pro-Nazi place, you can lecture others on selling their Swasticars. Migrating your "newsletter" is a damned sight easier and cheaper than replacing a car, btw. That said, Cillizza has always been a huge dweeb.

If you think women don't notice when your go-to insult for that Nazi South African is "bitch," think again. You aren't accomplishing whatever it is you think you're accomplishing, because he can't see you doing that (no matter how many followers you have; he's well-insulated). But we can.

Shadi Hamid, not exactly a radical leftist, is calling it "genocide" in the Bezos-owned Washington Post. If you haven't started using the term, which at this point is considered factual by mainstream human rights orgs and scholars, it's probably not for a great reason.

The important CNN story on the left, published for Memorial Day, is locked behind a paywall. The Fox News propaganda on the right is free to all. See the problem with our media and information environment?

YOU protect democracy, you rancid old goat. I try to avoid tired generational warfare tropes but honestly, this is why young people hate old people. In this case, they're 100% right to.

Every time I hear "Democrats should just adopt whatever public opinion says is popular" all I hear is "fuck you trans people"
