lmao rare to see someone so easily baited in a congressional hearing, but RFK jr is a sucker

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

A composite image showing, at center, Corey Noel Scott, a white man with thinning dirty blonde hair and beard stubble wearing a black shot and smiling. The image of his face is up-close and in a circle with a light outline. Two other circles are floating in the image that read “PATRIOT FRONT MEMBER IDENTIFIED." That text is on a mock edit of a red, white and blue Patriot Front logo that crosses out their center fasces symbol with an X. Another floating image shows the red, white, and blue patch for Seal Team 7, which is a thin triangle facing downward with a large 7 in the center and the logo for the Navy on top of the 7, seven white stars are at the point of the triangle. All these images are sitting on top of a military group shot that’s faded in the background. The men in camo are holding up guns and a red, white and blue American flag and posing for the camera. Most soldiers are blocked by the various images except for one section where Corey Scott and Eddie Gallagher can be seen in sunglasses by the flag.

EXCLUSIVE at the newly relaunched @informant.news: We've obtained secret documents showing that a former Navy SEAL whose testimony helped overturn a war crimes case against his platoon leader has recently joined the white supremacist group Patriot Front.

If you told me “hey the guy who took the fall for Eddie Gallagher is a neo-Nazi now” I’d be like yeah that sounds right and whatta ya know

Honestly it is kinda funny in a cosmic sort of way that they’re trying so hard to censor trans people transing due to culture war bullshit but just let enemy propaganda in the actual war they started fly right on by.

Right: [reviles academia for generations, celebrates deportations for writing op-eds and protesting, dismantles departments it doesn’t like, enacts de jure speech codes]

Left: [is sometimes annoying and unserious]

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

Guy tries to do Buddhism but dualistic, invents Manichaeism from first principles

What went wrong in Israel? A genocide scholar examines ‘what Zionism became’ In his new book, Omer Bartov tracks how a liberatory strand of Zionism transformed into an extremist ideology that he sees as responsible for genocide in Gaza

"Bartov’s insistence that Zionism, as originally conceived, was essentially a movement of liberation helps explain his refusal to identify as an anti-Zionist... he does declare himself “completely, vehemently opposed to the kind of Zionism that exists today.”" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

That was…surprising. “Integralist lay Catholics, in their conduct towards the Pope, put a lie to the utopian idealism of integralist theory” was not something I expected to see from First Things.

Trump, Leo, and the Death of Integralism - First Things There is a Yiddish witticism, Der Mensch tracht, un Gott lacht (“Man plans, and God laughs”), and recent events suggest the divine has a particularly puckish sense of humor....

Scenes from a personalist regime: A nominee to an independent federal body refuses to acknowledge that the President ever lost an election.

My take is that we live in a society and we should methodically eliminate every vaccine exemption.

The obsession that antisemites have with the Talmud will never not be odd to be. Like I know WHY they’re obsessed with it from a conspiracist level, but it’s still just shocking idiocy to me.

The thing about that Washington painting behind him:

“Washington wanted to make sure that his troops were not affected by disease, and he believed that inoculation would help with that. So, just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers.”

lol incredible

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

Those governor numbers 👀

At least 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels bypass US blockade While the US military says it has turned around over 20 vessels and ‘completely halted’ Iranian trade, Lloyd’s List Intelligence shows a steady flow of shadow fleet traffic in and out of the Middle East Gulf

what the blockade doing tho www.lloydslist.com/LL1156966/At...

What is the "Mamdani Act"? GOP bill would ban socialists, Marxists from US Chip Roy's "Mamdani Act" would make socialists, Marxists and Islamists deportable and inadmissible to the United States.

demented nonsense

Very funny that the same people who are upset about Virginia are enraged at Thune shelving the SAVE Act because they believe and want the bill to lock in a generation of Republican control. Pick a damn lane.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

We didn’t do anything and people want to blame us? Better than the public realizing both of these things were completely random lol

"Oh Christ any asshole with an *Italian milsurp* rifle can pick off like 99.999% of any of us, the most important people in the world in 1963? We're actually fine if you guys think that us, the Mafia, and three space aliens working together was ALL necessary to pull that off successfully, thanks."

Oswald was in fact a lone gunman who pulled it off, and the federal LE/IC apparatus got so freaked at the fact that *any whacko with a Carcano could just fucking DO that* that they wink-and-nudged at conspiracists for years to discourage copycats as well as obfuscating how easy it was for a rando.

Also probably partially due to the fact that reactionary culture in rural America is a very specific kind of distressing based on region lol

I was in Gloucester for a work shift once and I say this as someone who is from the city infamous for Breonna Taylor’s murder, I was CONCERNED.

This is just gob-smacking blatant corruption. There's absolutely no question there have been cases decided by buying justices by now. The question is only which ones.
