What a shocker that Larry "Africa is vastly UNDER-polluted" Summers was an Epstein pal.

"Outspoken liberal?"

After reading this ridiculous AP article and what seems to me like its lopsided reporting of this supposed controversy around Whoopi Goldberg, I had the feeling the author really wanted to say "uppity" here.

I don't think we should underestimate the potential power of buying out right-wing properties of various kinds and using them to play poke the fash.

Of course, there are many more immediate and pressing needs, but a battle can be fought on many fronts.
Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

This is beautiful.
Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Been hearing a lot about the pitfalls of "identity politics" and the left, but almost all of it ignores the identity politics of the right -- white identity politics.

some states like florida have already criminalized the existence of trans people. trump wants to do that on a federal level. every time trans people say "hey they're trying to make it illegal for me to be a live" cis people go "well surely it can't be that bad, you're exaggerating" but no we're not!

I blame Biden and Merrick Garland. They should have arrested Trump one minute after noon on 1/20/21, locked him up, and swallowed the key. That's how you deal with a fascist putsch. But they played politics as usual. They thought Trump was disgraced. We'll pay for their mistake.
