Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

If the left was actively hating young white men, I feel like that's something I would have picked up on in the last twenty years or so. What I have seen though is a lot of (non-left) people telling young white men that the left hates them

the deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.

The Israeli government is committing genocide—one of the greatest evils known to humankind—in Gaza. Executing unarmed non-combatants is evil. Not only are both these statements true, they’re synergistic—part of the same humanist philosophy. I condemn the Israeli government _and_ the DC assassin.

It kinda hit me recently that engaging in nihilism and doomerism is quite the privileged thing. A lot of the folks who have the most to lose from this heinous bill are not dooming. They’re fighting.

I'm sorry - Sam Altman is claiming adding Jony Ive's washed design firm somehow adds $1 trillion to OpenAI's valuation? We should be actively mocking anyone who buys this bullshit

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

Trump had federal agents carry out assassinations of BLM activists in broad daylight, and he bragged about it. So yeah, I'd say nobody is safe.

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own. State-owned property.

Anytime we can praise Hanger

Sort of feel like the New York Times is valorizing flight here Everyone has the right to make their own decision on this—but I'm not sure that fleeing the United States deserves a special uncritical spotlight Maybe a daily spotlight instead on those of us who are staying to try to save our country

today marks 40 years since Philadelphia police bombed the Black liberation group MOVE's home in West Philadelphia. 6 adults and 5 children burned to death. over 60 homes were destroyed from the resulting fire, and over 250 people left homeless. (resharing @kimkelly.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com)

José Mujica, the charismatic former guerrilla fighter who later went on to lead Uruguay and became known as "the world's poorest president" for his austere lifestyle, has died at 89.

I mean... he manifestly wants riots so he has an excuse to declare martial law, so this tracks.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

This -- though it is delivered with the characteristic haughty NYT condescension -- is just flat wrong. It's revealing, though. The enemy that has taken up residence in their heads is not fascism, not the threatened violence of the state, but "social media," ie, their readers talking back.

‘touch grass’ bro i don’t know if you’re aware but they have portable computers now. i’m clowning on your ass in a secluded glen by a rushing waterfall. a newborn fawn is nuzzling my hand while i quote dunk u

we lost two Super Hornets to the waves and I haven’t seen any discussion of the race or gender of anyone who might be at fault, which means I have a pretty good guess as to the race and gender of everyone who might be at fault

Opinion pieces are in the Times because someone on the editorial team thinks this is an important point. Despite platforming this same argument time after time. Even now, the Times remains unable to clearly see or explain Trump’s assault on higher Ed for what it is.

Kennedy told reporters "There are many good ways to treat Measles," citing Vitamin A, budesonide (a steroid) and clarithromycin (an antibiotic). This advice will kill children. We have a proven, effective vaccine www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

One thing I appreciate about the Fetterman piece is the admission at the beginning from Jentleson the “heterodox” “punch left” strategy was the plan all along and his ideological positions aren’t a result of a medical condition.

Me and my three friends

Two of the offices without senior officials are Houston and Tampa, which, whew, that’s not good. A slow moving catastrophe that won’t be widely understood until it’s too late.

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the government can expel legal residents from the country based on 'past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful.'" Again: the SoS said that he can expel legal residents from the country for "expected beliefs"...
