I haven’t thought about libs of TikTok since I left Twitter, had I stayed, like most national democrats and their staff did, I would still think about Libs of TikTok, which would be giving her more attention that she merits. No disrespect to Drew, who is doing his job by reporting on them.

john brown was a terrorist. he had a plan. he was delusional in many ways but at its core his plan was to heighten the contradictions so as to move public opinion in both the north and the south to hasten a reckoning. by those standards the plan worked.

They are in fact concentration camps in the original usage of camps for concentrating a civilian population for control or collective punishment or to facilitate deportation or population transfer.
They are not concentration camps as a euphemism for extermination camps.

God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

This man is living through my nightmare. My greatest fear is being thrown in a camp, where I’m hungry, and scared, and there is no path out. Because it’s what happened to my family 80 years ago. I won’t say it’s beyond our wildest fears, because we feared precisely this.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

“Life cannot just be about one sad thing star another” is actually a perfect distillation of this Wave of Reaction. At core, anti-woke reactionary centrism was a bunch of scrotums saying “yes yes we know some bad things happened, we read a book, now shut up and listen to my podcast”

I'm just a liberal squish, but I think America should not have concentration camps.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Posters currently have the mandate of heaven, which is why Crockett may win the Texas senate primary despite basically not campaigning for it outside of social media sniping. I fear, however, that it is a *limited* mandate, and thus she probably loses in the general election

I am struggling to think of any country this describes that doesn’t *also* let homeless people die on the street.
I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

American Gentry feels like a key explanatory concept that was totally absent between 2000-2024, and that sucks.
Kid Rock's dad owned multiple car dealerships and he grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries and recording his songs in his room to winning multiple Grammys. Which one is the better encapsulation of hard work and the American Dream?
