AYFKM.

lol he's spiraling

Killed civilians, lost plenty of aircraft, and expended a bunch of munitions, but not much freedom of navigation restored from two US presidents waging unauthorized hostilities against the Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/b...

It's extremely telling that Donald Trump's immediate reaction to a German person describing D-Day was to assume that they must be unhappy about D-Day.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

This is correct. The key to driving attention in the media today is CONFLICT. Musk and Trump are doing conflict. So the media is covering it. Dems in Congress could also generate conflict to drive attention. They just have chosen not to. 1/2

"How to Survive the Broligarchy": Carole Cadwalladr on Tech Titans & Rising U.S. Authoritarianism

The "greatest deal maker" bankrupted 3 casinos. I mean that's a feat in itself to pull off.

On May 20, 2025 during a congressional hearing, The HHS Sec stated CDC hasn’t offered recommendations for treating measles. Want to know why? Because doctors don’t have to treat a disease that they don’t see in patients. Measles is preventable. #ResignRFkJr

In 2009, “Mencius Moldbug” aka Curtis Yarvin (Peter Thiel’s “house philosopher”) wrote at length on his “Unqualified Reservations” blog about “Harvard and state.” Trump’s targeting of Harvard reeks of Moldbug’s “philosophy”. 1/ www.unqualified-reservations.org/2009/01/gent...

Wow, what an entirely predictable turn of events.

The Supreme Court just hung an "Open for Grievance" sign on every courthouse for white people who think "reverse discrimination" is a thing. Legally, it was the right decision. Culturally, wooboy, things are about to get (even more) insufferable. My latest in @thenation.com

Phang: There’s a Texas Tribune article that reveals that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.—even though the administration wanted to label them as terrorists before deporting them.

I am sitting (remotely) in another bankruptcy hearing for Alex Jones and Infowars' parent company Free Speech Systems, as is my karmic punishment for misdeeds in a past life, and I will let you know if anything interesting happens

🤔

Tomorrow the Trump regime will release the May jobs report. How can we believe anything they say?!

"MAHA"

This is why we need more journalism focusing on those effected by this attack on free and open society

just superbly done. first round KO www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

🔴 Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov released footage showing Russian drones bombarding the city overnight. Preliminary reports indicate that 19 people were injured in the attack.

Journalists get out there and start talking to those who have been displaced by this shut down of things paid for on your behalf through taxes for your benefit and mankind's benefit. They can't get away from those exposures, they need to be everywhere.

cannot emphasize enough how much we are going to lose in length and quality of human life all across the globe because of this. infuriating and shameful.

Miller has handed Democrats a messaging gift and they're cowering in the corner instead of pressing the attack

"They're breaking the law." "What law?" "You know, vibes and shit."

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Super disturbing thread.👇

It's anti-Semitic to say I shouldn't unload machine guns at starving people in cages. It's anti-Semitic to suggest these camps, filled with death, are Death Camps. And it's certainly anti-Semitic to say I shouldn't missile Greta Thunberg and a boat full of medicine. Get the special envoy on the case

Single judge districts are not just.

This post really made me realize how "woke" doesn't even just mean "anything non-cishet white," it literally means "anything that I perceive as being different from things I saw when I was 12 years old"

"For 20 months, the Israeli authorities have refused to grant journalists outside of Gaza independent access to the Palestinian territory — a situation that is without precedent in modern warfare... To date, nearly 200 journalists have been killed by the Israeli military."

Wait I thought Republicans were against this kind of thing...

the two Dems quoted in this piece in favor of embracing Musk are 2016 Bernie Sanders delegate Richie Torres and 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign co-chair Ro Khanna

Prominent center-left pundits (like the ones featured at WelcomeFest) think this guy is smart and love to engage with him. They've done so to the extent that he feels comfortable interjecting his (odious) views into the conversation. Unlike them, I haven't forgotten who he is -- a Nazi

A new report in Fox News features a quote from Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux that seems to contradict what I was told in response to my reporting. I was told "Dallas Police Department does not enforce immigration laws" but Comeaux says they're going to support federal immigration enforcement.

🤔 yikes

In 1985, billionaire Leslie Wexner told New York Magazine that he wakes up each day in the company of a dybbuk, a clinging spirit shaped like an angel. Did this influence his decision to work with Epstein and introduce "angels" to his lingerie line? I dive into the dybbuk and its mystical names.

(The Powell memo was their call to action) We're humans being some being fed flat out lies by people who own the means and set the agenda on/through their technology, add their attack on education and appealing to their prejudices through deep seeded beliefs with continued reinforcement.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.
