Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution.

Willfully ignoring science - especially in vital areas like health, safety, defense, education, climate, and the economy - is a recipe for disaster. We are crippling our nation by dumbing down our children, just to coddle those who are fearfully insecure in their religious faith.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Ezra Klein is wrong. Deregulation will not create abundant housing. The main driver of unaffordable housing is market concentration and financialization of all aspects of society. We're not considered people. We are resources to be stripped of what we own. www.thebignewsletter.com/p/messing-wi...
Messing With Texas: How Big Homebuilders and Private Equity Made American Cities Unaffordable
Dallas was one of the last big cities in America where a working family could buy a house. No longer. And it's not because of zoning policy—it's because of corporate consolidation and private equity.

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Did you see this? I had no idea, either, but Jessica Carlarco explained why.

"There are about a thousand of us."

Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Understandable. Fascism is part of totalitarianism, which is part of authoritarianism.

Think of it like Family/Genus/Species in biology:

Family - Authoritarian
Genus - Totalitarian
Species - Fascist

Getting the Family right and Species wrong is the difference between a tiger and a house cat!
As just an average person, I really tried to understand the differences among fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and woof it was hard to really grok.

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.
