It is hi.la.rious that the authors are like, look, give a man two children and he's going to stay selfish and purposeless. But give him EIGHT kids and he will really find his higher calling.

People should really talk more about how many men in the 1800s abandoned their wives and children.
Not gonna link to it, but here is a gem:

The last 10 years of social media has been the right saying, "I think XYZ people are subhuman, and now polls say they don't want to be friends with me and I can't believe they are so intolerant." And then MSM being like, "Good point. What do you have to say for yourselves, XYZ people?"

NEW: President Biden commuted the death sentences of most people on the federal death row before exiting office.

President Trump is now effectively looking to retaliate, and to detain those people in the most brutal conditions in the federal system. Bolts reports:

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

The Trump administration arrested and detained two gospel singer brothers from Guatemala who have lived in Memphis for 10 and 20 years. The administration lied and claimed one had an extensive criminal record. Neither does. One has now been deported.

Many Americans still believe that white folks organically succeeded where indigenous folks and folks of color failed. Yet history tells us just how many interventions it took to prop up white supremacy.

Like taking away a woman's ability to have children without her full consent and knowledge.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Instead of standing up for immigrants who were impacted by ICE this week, @repangiecraig.bsky.social is supporting performative resolutions meant to divide the Democratic Party event further.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

1 day ago (1!) people seemed pretty clear that this man has - at a minimum - provided cover for a pedophile, called for the execution of opposition members, & excused the state murder of a journalist. Today people are excited to have Trump on the team, even for 1 hour?

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.

This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”

That’s seems really bad.
