ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn.

I think that the US is lucky in that when voters finally cocked it up and elected EXACTLY the kind of piece of shit that the framers spent oceans of ink and forests worth of the yellow crinkly paper warning about, he turned out to be almost uniquely bad at anything besides conning the guillible.

Chomsky to Epstein: there’s a “hysteria that has developed about the abuse of women”.

You assume the world’s most famous linguist knows the history of “hysteria”.

If the president can rendition legal residents, cut funding for anything he wants, violate all of our treaty commitments, & can monetize the presidency, then he can try to not seat the next Congress/Dems in Jan 27. Folks who swore oaths should be preparing for what stopping that is going to require.

So you’re done pandering to racists and transphobes then?
The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform.

All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

The forces that make Trump impervious to internal correction within the GOP are going to create huge obstacles to the party winning elections and governing for a generation.
The tragedy of today's GOP is that they have purged anyone inclined to independence and leadership. Those who are left chose to climb into the back seat, and now they're lost. But they're finally yelling at the driver.

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

The more restrictive your diet, the harder it will be to socialize with other people. This is a feature, not a bug. People who are more isolated will be more likely to want to go down the wellness rabbit hole.
