I find this so naive. The thinking is that Americans couldn't have chosen this, so the mainstream media must not have informed them what they were voting for. But the mainstream media did tell them, and Trump voters either didn't read it or didn't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Driving would be a lot more chill if we had more car horns that meant different things. One for 'thank you' and one for 'sorry, my bad'. We went too hard at the beginning by only putting in the 'FUCK YOU' horn

"it should be said that standing for democratic ideals is an enormous part of America’s appeal around the world, and if we get into a competition with China purely over who is richer and can cut more deals, we are kicking away one of our major advantages." www.nationalreview.com/2025/05/intr...

Shame on Boise and the school district for this horrific result, losing a great teacher over the idiotic and spineless controversy about an "Everyone is Welcome" poster in a classroom. youtu.be/wb25OsxDY1w?...

Biden's pullout after his disastrous debate was one of the two biggest political stories of 2024. I want to know more, not less. The way that story was handled by the press, by Biden's aides and by Biden himself is why we've descended into this authoritarian hell.

Cops don’t usually wear masks. Nor do FBI or DEA agents. So @willbunch.bsky.social asked a DHS flak why immigration enforcers are wearing them, often while out of uniform. Her response is … unconvincing. www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

This kind of thing is why legitimate law enforcement carries badges with an identifiable number on it, identify themselves, present warrants, etc. Without that, there's no way of knowing it isn't one of these guys.
