Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

In the early hours of April 19, 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. It was one of the earliest and largest episodes of Jewish armed resistance to the Holocaust. By April 22, fire was destroying several sections of the ghetto. The Germans began capturing and killing more and more of the ghetto inhabitants.

By May 15th, the ghetto fighters had been defeated and the Nazis blew up the Tlomacki Synagogue. Several thousand Jews were buried in debris and more than 56,000 had been captured. About 30,000 of the captured Jews were immediately shot or transported to death camps. We remember the fighters who knew victory was impossible and fought against the Nazis regardless. We honor the memory of all the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Today we honor the memory of the Jews and resistance fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto who staged an uprising against the Nazis amidst impossible odds. We remember that the fight for freedom, dignity, and collective liberation endures.

Shoutout to @people.com, which covered horrific abuses at the Everglades camp that the administration refers to as "Alligator Alcatraz," citing several folks (including me) who call it a concentration camp.

You both are on-target. I always say “the AI doesn’t have good judgement. That’s your job!”

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Star Wars’s Poe Dameron laments “somehow, Viganò retuned”

SSPX is planning to appoint bishops in July, which would bring them out of communion with Rome. Perhaps their delusion is that they can somehow leverage that to create a US-based conservative Catholic Church. Named, incidentally, after the pope who tried to undo lots of Leo XII’s “modernist” work.

The Glover Family.

Fighting with the pope, thinking of himself as god, humiliated in a naval war of choice he assumed he would win easily over an "inferior" people, surrounded by kook healers and medical advisors, obsessed with familial legacy in the shadow of an actually successful father, this man is Nicholas II

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime… and Nuclear Weapons” is the most aggressively secular thing I’ve ever heard and I’m the child of two university professors who graduated from UC Berkeley. My brother in Christ, we have to visit the prisoner and turn the other cheek.

pope leo is weak on crime lmao. sometimes priests wear a cape type situation but he’s not batman, dude.

Glad to see Orbán go. The lesson is that we need to find someone named “Joe American” to run for president in 2028.

Really going to ruin the vibe in the whole club
