Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

Gotta say, I struggle on some days to reconcile the fact that millions of Americans actually WANT to live in a country with viruses spreading freely, thousand of people getting kicked out of their jobs, billionaires feasting on the government & people being snatched off the street by secret police.

The startup has raised over $2B in venture capital, much of it from firms with ties to Trump and Musk. In addition to Thiel, other major backers include Thrive Capital, which was founded by Jared Kushner's brother, and 8VC, a firm run by Musk allies. By @chrisbing.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

About to write a doctoral thesis on the century of American politics that took place over Easter weekend of 2025 - the president posting falsified evidence to deny due process - the secretary of defense leaking classified information for a second time - a congressional rep posting a public meltdown

There is no strict Constitutional prohibition against sharing detailed war plans in an insecure Signal group chat with your wife, brother and personal lawyer, so it's hard to see what liberals are so upset about. by Jonathan Turley

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Also on Reddit today, someone thinking that I am apologetic for being a white dude. Nah, friends. I think we all know that being a white dude in the US is pretty great. My sin, if you will, is thinking everyone else should have the same latitude in life that I get just by being a white dude.

The reason the south has languished for generations is that the white leadership cares more about preserving a white male hierarchy than making their society better. We're now seeing that on a national scale. The Trump administration is turning the US into deep south style autocracy.

No president has harmed America more in a short period of time than Trump. World super power leading the free world to weak pariah state in under 100 days. Soft power? Gone. Allies? Gone. Trust? Eliminated.

I have never been a supporter of Pontius Pilate, but if the apostles continue to disrupt religious services, I will have no choice but to vote for him again.

Short term, I shoot myself in the foot. Long term, it's good news. I learn to walk without the foot. I do a three-legged hop, a tarantulan creep. Babadook-like movements. People will ask "why do you do this?" and I will say "it's important I blow my foot off for no reason." They respect this.

If you have a public platform & spent years calming everyone down, telling us Trump was not a danger,was not racist, & arguing that the best way to deal w/Trump was to laugh at him, berated ppl who used the word fascist, insisted that the two parties are the same, admit YOU WERE WRONG.

As one of the first people to use the term publicly to describe Trump (in mid-2016), I must say it’s bittersweet to have so many people now familiar with malignant narcissism. Greater understanding about this type of personality is sorely needed, but what a helluva way to have awareness raised.

We wanted to know how everyday Judean people felt about the crucifixion of Jesus. So we talked to three Roman soldiers at a taberna in Gadara.

When people say that some concept is too complicated for voters to understand, I remember Stephen Sondheim's line about the "West Side Story" movie. He was told that it didn't have "hummable" songs. Then United Artists spent a ton of $ promoting it, the movie was a hit, and suddenly it was hummable.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it does seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

I just heard some tired old Dem hack on the @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social say that Dems need to show they are “serious” about cracking down on gangs (they weren’t?) before criticizing sending innocents to foreign concentration camps. These old hacks need to toddle off to Boca.

24 years ago, in the days after 9/11 I remember leftists screaming that any civil liberty we gave up for anyone “because terrorism” would be used broadly against the left in years to come. At the time it felt hyperbolic. Today, it feels prescient. Terrorist just seems to be “POC I disagree with”

With all the videos of police illegally entering people’s home using intimidation & force to detain & deport American if not worse. Black peoples have dealt with that for centuries. It’s police brutality. That is beyond unconstitutional. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt.… Now do you f’n get it?

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades
