"An Anglican bishop who called an investigation into his alleged abuse of power “a witch hunt” announced the formation of a new denomination on Christmas eve: The Anglican Reformed Catholic Church."
In the hour-long video, Jones dismissed the investigation: "Thank you woke U.S.A. Thank you, woke," he said.

I’m not sure what other conclusions we are meant to draw from a news broadcast anchored by someone who has had unhinged racist interviews on national television then opting to lead with America First as a newly issued guiding belief, but none of the ones I have are good

What I love about all of these takes is they’re like tourism commercials for Mamdani - I don’t think there’s a single one that has landed an actual blow yet

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

One thing I think we should decide as a group is that your choice of social media/newsletter platform is now set & it does say about you what it says about you - if you are trying to justify X or Substack in 2026 that's none of my business. The conclusions we can draw are obvious & correct.

let’s not pretend there are loud paragons of liberal democracy out there counter programming & making distinctions clear - instead the complete lack of this has made space for reinterpretation of old ideas & people don’t have memory of the outcomes

I would humbly suggest based on some of the discourse today that political terminology can change in common meaning over time and frequently political science is well behind the curve on this - a fact which should be easier to understand after a decade of Trumpism if nothing else

I do agree with the core thesis here - Mamdani doesn’t really have some other ambition he is known to be beholden to and it opens up a lot more space to actually accomplish something which probably triggers both the oligarchs & the strivers
Too much of US politics is dominated by the (silly but powerful) warping force that “You might be president someday!” It’s not possible for Mamdani—and that opens up space for a political imagination inaccessible to most by the the new mayor and his constituents lithub.com/why-its-a-go...

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Ostensibly leftish men finding new ways to trap women and impose ritualistic humiliation upon them rather than learn a single thing about their lives or the systems of naked misogyny women are forced into? Yeah, that tracks.

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.

Great for morale how another round of completely damning legal records comes out, no one faces any consequences, we see again how fully congress has abdicated all of its responsibilities, Roberts has picked his man, and that's that
