a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

This movie is so cool. Endlessly clever and beautiful, one of Martin Scorsese's all time favorites.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

"A Chinese immigrant was found dead in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, with his hands and feet tied behind him, an attorney has alleged."

Women are dying because of the way anti-abortion laws were written. These deaths were predictable, predicted, and above and beyond any intrinsic trade off of preventing the termination of viable pregnancies in healthy women.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said it transported two people from Kufr Aqab to a hospital during the night, both with gunshot wounds. Several hundred people took part in the funeral processions for Marbou and Mashayekh on Friday. Oday al-Shurfa, a friend of Marbou, told AFP he witnessed the incident. "He was just standing there, not holding or throwing stones," he said. Shurfa said Marbou was hit "in the chest, in the heart. He collapsed and was martyred on the spot," he said. A relative of Marbou, who declined to give her name, told AFP, "He was with four others; one of them was also killed, another is in critical condition," and another suffered a serious hand injury. "What kind of brutality is this?" she said.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

the entire administration has Hitler strategic goals but youth pastor tactics and charisma

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

noting grimly that with the boating drone strikes we have definitively arrived at "how bad is extrajudicial killing, really?" but I continue to find it really strange that they did "children having cancer and communicable diseases is fine actually" first

Joshua Clover's recent passing is a tremendous loss for the communist cause. Not only was he a close friend and mentor to many in our collective, but he was also exemplary in his clarity, breadth, and dedication. We aspire to be like Joshua as we navigate this world on fire.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

I recently spent a month in China and it's incredible how quiet and calm their cities feel -- even their largest. I realised it's because of the widespread adoption of EVs massively reducing air and noise pollution.

It is amazing how much the fash drive derrails US capitalism

And Paul Weiss, and Columbia, and Brown, and CBS/Paramount ...

I landed in La and turned on my tv to see this insane split screen

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps.

A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.
