Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

This is Big Max. He isn’t feeling very well today. Seems to be something serious with his kidneys. Any good thoughts you could send his way, he would appreciate it. And so would I.

Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General.
On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation.
If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

God bless all the people who understand nobody should ever be allowed to strip human beings of rights, mass kill them, torture them, or incarcerate them in camps. I mean this sincerely. Maybe God’s justice find all those who support such things.

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"

Imagine seeing a Grimace hit by a car on the side of the road. For us it’s the stuff of nightmares but for motorists in McDonaldLand it is the grim reality of everyday life

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

The MSM does not believe the right-wing has agency. In their mind, it is peaceful, and is only a response to liberal flaws.

This is because if the right-wing has agency, the MSM would have to acknowledge the stark evidence of 65+ years of US right-wing anti-democratic behavior and actual treason.

As one who followed the Bulls/Jordan closely from 1985-98 (but has no inside info)

I completely believed the rumor that MJ's gambling = baseball. Many Chicagoans did.

MJ's dad was murdered as a result of his gambling? Possible.

I do NOT believe MJ bet on NBA games, especially not Bulls games.

Opinion | Alan Dershowitz: Why I’m Becoming a Republican I first registered as a Democrat in 1959. The party’s hostility to Israel is too much.

If the Dersh is leaving, the Dems must be doing SOMETHING right.

It’s not media cluelessness – it’s cowardice and complicity But there’s another word starting with “C” that describes some journalists: courage.

Journalists might've once had the excuse that the didn’t realize how bad MAGA extremism would be. But they can't plead cluelessness now. What’s left are cowardice, complicity and courage. Pick one.

Palantir’s “manifesto” trends on X, showcasing its evil The post makes explicit what Palantir wants: the supremacy of the US military industrial complex to infiltrate every aspect of our lives

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Palantir just posted their manifesto and it's exactly what you'd expect from a surveillance corp that sells software to ICE & the IDF. Forced universal military service, AI weapons, hard power dominance, "some cultures are regressive."

This is straight up evil with a press release

The ironic thing is that over the last twenty years, downtown Santa Monica has grown considerably more dense BUT has less foot traffic AND many more vacant/eyesore storefronts.

Loved Jackson's music. In 1979, "Off the Wall" was the 2nd LP I ever bought.

Now, when I (rarely) think of Michael Jackson, I think of him as part of the unthinking culture of wealth- and celebrity- and power-worship that enabled Epstein, and gave us Trump.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Yeah, seems like only bad things can happen from the continued existence of Palantir, and they know the only way they survive is if they are burrowed into the military-industrial state.

For what it is worth, I do not think all cultures - that is, bundles of social practices - are equal.

I think the culture that Thiel and Karp and MAGA are trying to create is clearly, obviously worse than the American culture we have had.

There are cultural vandals and they wear red hats.
