It is past time to draw negative inferences from the destruction of evidence.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week. I’m trans. Happily so! (Apart from *gestures at the world*.)

I also make trans art - books about a trans magical girl and all her gay teammates. You might like ‘em, and it directly supports me because this is my whole job. 😅 magicariot.com

Every single Dem should be calling for @schumer.senate.gov to resign, and primary his ass. If you're not going to fight for us, gtfo of Congress. This goes for all of them.
Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom.

While Schumer voted against it, the eight Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/lcNlGik

Journalists who cover race, gender and inequality are often the first to go in layoffs, raising deeper questions about who gets to tell the news.
Teen Vogue changed how a generation saw politics and inclusion. That era could be over.

Talk like this used to get you investigated and your electronic devices confiscated.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.

German chancelor Merz says he's asked Ukrainian President Selenskyy to keep young Ukrainian men from coming to Germany. They should serve their country; after all, they are needed.
<sputter> So Merz now knows better how to wage war against Russia? Surely it's not just about keeping furriners out. 🙄
Was für eine Unverschämtheit von Friedrich Merz, Wolodynyr Selenskyj, dem Präsidenten eines Landes, das um sein Überleben kämpft, so in den Senkel zu stellen und ihm arrogant und belehrend zu erklären, wie er den Krieg zu führen hat. www.welt.de/politik/ausl...

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Meanwhile whorephobic orgs targeting sex workers have tried desperately to capture the discourse, they want to talk about rape culture in a way that implies the internet has to be age verified, all your favorite games and books have to be banned, and sex workers should be pushed to the margins
The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won
