After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Their identification software ROUTINELY churns out false positives.
Like to the point it would be unusable by any other entity.
Latinos and Black people in ICE watching this shit and still thinking “No me. They just treat foreigners like that.” A society so fcking stupid in so many ways.
There’s been a ton of cultural work done to imbue white supremacy with an image of honor. We get Confederates as anti-heroes with Black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous allies, sidekicks, etc etc, but in practice, this is what it looks like.
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
This is about exposing the SPLC's informants in right-wing extremist orgs and driving them out so they can plot in secret. The bullshit criminal charges are just a bonus.
Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.
False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.
Reality:
“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."
1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.
The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

Amid rising jet fuel prices and lower demand from Canadians to travel to the U.S., airlines are cutting back on flights between the two countries.
The majority of white people in this country voted for idiots to rule over us. All due to racism, selfishness and the fact they had to care more about their fellow human than themselves during a fcking pandemic. This is how you get this moronic military policy from that drunken fool.
Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...
Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

Did not miss any of these (tho admit the Whiskey Pete thing didn't make it far beyond FT), but strongly applaud this kind of summarizing.
It's REALLY hard to keep up with all the corruption. Really hard.
When I covered Trump's tariffs, I discovered that orange crops have cratered in FL.
This explains all the reasons--disease, climate change, overspraying, finance--why.

A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.
“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
“The Woman Who Knows Too Much”
Amanda Ungaro says Paolo Zampolli abused her, seduced her underage, recruited girls for Epstein, had a hold on Melania (who worked undocumented for years)
He had her deported as they battle for custody. He still works for Trump.
She is willing to testify.
This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.

This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
