Menswear writer here. 👋 Let me tell you why you shouldn't wear an armband like that. 🧵
The Palantir manifesto is the obvious endpoint of years of edgelord posturing - actual villainy.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
Always admiring of long-dead garden designers who knew how to frame a moment in time.
Abortion rates in red states have not decreased, aside from medically necessary ones. Pregnancy has become much more dangerous. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Barely disguised eugenics is very popular with certain sects of weirdos and fringe academics. They have been propped up by billionaires and conservative groups and tolerated by universities because they can bring money in. In a just world Charles Murray would have been shunned from society.
No government, not even an autocracy, can stand this level of corruption for very long.
Are we at war with Lebanon or not?
Who declared war in Lebanon?
Who authorized the use of American weapons to bomb Lebanon?
Who is trying to act like Lebanon has no right to exist?
“The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Can’t wait for Manischewitz to come out with their Seder-recording bottle opener, to preserve the arguments you had with your uncle after the fourth glass of wine for all eternity.
China is curbing its refined oil exports to the detriment of its neighbours, contrasting this with Japan’s ‘opposite’ strategy of offering financial lifelines.
I work with libraries and across the board libraries are having their budgets cut while being asked to be an even greater resource for struggling communities. I would love to see a city, especially NYC, go all in on support rather than cutting already tight budgets. It's such a missed opportunity.
Devastating.
It’s the guns.
Note: A Senate Democratic report described the NRA as acting like a “foreign asset” for Russia before the 2016 election. 💔😢👇
in a world of lauren bezoses, be a connie ballmer
I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Ossoff is an AIPAC shill. Who cares what he says?
He voted to continue giving weapons to Israel, a genocidal Apartheid state. He accepts millions from Israel aligned PACs.
He's a brick in the bulwark we need in Congress. Nothing more.
I keep saying: Ossoff is going to win in Georgia by double digits or close to it and if he wants to turn that into a presidential run he will immediately be one of the favorites
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
We've had administrations where the Civil Rights Division took a less watchful eye to the rights of racial minorities or diverted its energies to address other issues, but this is the first administration in history to pervert it wholly into a tool to *hurt* the people its supposed to protect.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.
Youtube comment: @ScotClose • 3 hours ago I'm disappointed that you blocked me on Bluesky for trying to bring some real skepticism to this topic after you strongly implied that Platner is a Nazi and ridiculed people for asking for evidence. If you're only a skeptic about topics you disagree with, are you really a skeptic? Reply 0 replies ^ Graham Platner is an Embarrassing Liar WE @RebeccaWatson • O seconds ago I'm not shocked that a man who openly defends an obvious liar with a Nazi tattoo is also apoplectic that the woman he was yelling at opted out of a conversation with him. This is psychotic behavior and you should see a therapist.
PSA: never in the history of humanity has a woman cut a man out of her life for being insane and then changed her opinion of him after he found other methods to contact her.
i'm not sure how to live in a country in which the murder of eight children doesn't ... stop everything
Here are some of the day’s top developments: Trump has said that US forces have taken custody of an Iranian-flagged vessel that tried to get through the US blockade of Iranian ports. Iran’s military confirmed an attack claimed by the US military on a ship returning from China, vowing it will “retaliate soon”. Iranian state media is reporting that Tehran is not currently planning to attend talks with the US, citing the ongoing blockade as well as Washington’s shifting positions and “excessive demands”. It comes after Trump ordered US negotiators to travel to Pakistan on Monday, just days before a two-week ceasefire expires.
I'm starting to think this is not going well guys
