This would stop tomorrow if the rest of the press would walk out. But we know they won't. Look at how much they love this. They'll support FOX but not AP. This is their choice and they have made it with eyes wide open.

“Home-growns”mean any of us. And with no guarantee of due process and administrative incompetence, this could be life sentences in El Salvador for any of us.

That's funny because universities pay PhD fellows like $20,000. Per year.

I would like to boost liberal politicians and news organizations on their way to El Salvador for fact finding. However, I can't find anyone to boost. Can you all help out and let me know who is on their way to report? AP? BBC? Anyone at all?

Idk why the Times loves to write vacuous profiles of internet reactionaries and act like its hard to understand why they would surface the things they are surfacing but I don't find it entertaining to read grown adult people wondering what the Nazi is doing reading Nazi agitprop into the mic

Louis CK still goes on comedy tours, Johnny Depp was forgiven by the vast majority of people, Bill Cosby got out of prison on a technicality, Cuomo is running for mayor of NYC, Trump is president for a second term, Jonathan Majors is being welcomed back into Hollywood, etc. And this was WITH MeToo

the pronoun thing is so incredibly stupid at so many levels, imagine knowing that you live a life so devoid of anything interesting that you have time to sit around steaming at what someone else put in their bio, like why would you ever confess this in public

It's about time. Democrats should've been heading there last week.

Fascists speak in emotion, not facts. I see people disputing this utter nonsense as if it’s a fact claim, and correction will counter it. But it’s communicating “don’t you love cruelty to brown people? Isn’t hurting this innocent man thrilling? You’re a victim, so you’re entitled to feel that way.”

I will never shut up about how, as legal immigrants shifted towards the GOP in 2024, Democrats could’ve said “the Nazis will of course come for you too, you need to vote for us, the pro-immigrant party” But instead Dems went with “actually we hate immigrants more than Trump,” which won 0 votes

Chris Krebs needs to flee America. Frankly, he's not alone. Anyone who testified in the January 6th hearings is in danger, thanks to their "friends" in Congress and the Supreme Court.

The "artisanal fascism" joke format works here as well: it's only anti-semitism when it's chants aimed at Israel, not when it's Molotov cocktails aimed at Jewish Democrats.

This photo of Gretchen Whitmer hiding from the cameras will be the defining photo for any 2028 presidential run she tries to make now. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

The media already demonstrated that they place all the blame for any negative situation in Afghanistan on Biden and Democrats for withdrawing. Sending Afghans (many of whom directly assisted US forces) there to be tortured and oppressed by the Taliban will only produce more favorable news cycles

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.

NEW: Blue Cross authorized mastectomies & breast reconstructions at one hospital, then refused to pay the full doctors' bills. BUT... The insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross execs signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social
