I would not be in a room alone with this woman. Not because of weird “being alone with a woman” fears, but because she might kill me and eat my eyeballs.

The Ivory Coast is changing the way French is spoken and France is mad about it.

Ethnic cleansing support is deplorable + misguided people.

Deplorable:
I know that these policies are part of an ethnic cleansing movement, and I am OK with that.

Misguided:
I am gullible, uncurious, and don't listen to or believe Black people, so I joined an ethnic cleansing movement by accident.

One way out of this might come wrapped in Reaganite branding. Somebody runs on "America Is Open for Business." They'll promise to end tariffs by fiat, reopen global trade, launch a ludicrously expensive marketing campaign to convince tourists they won't be kidnapped. 20% chance it's a Republican.

NEW: The U.S. has long lagged behind other wealthy countries in reducing its stillbirth rate.

Now a new five-year, $37 million NIH consortium will prioritize this public health issue. “There’s no question that the ProPublica reporting was intimately tied to this,” one expert said.

Tfw you joined the USAF because you played too much Ace Combat as a kid but instead of doing Death Star runs in your F-22, you’re the flight leader for “Operation: Epstein Defender.”
The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

Back in my day, the government had a pretext when it murdered people.
@kenwhite.bsky.social generally speaking, is it a good idea to figure out your legal excuse for a completely unforced, premeditated homicide *after* said homicide?
Nine grafs deep into the article and we find out:

"Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters."

Trump’s ICE raids? Illegal. His National Guard power grab? Illegal. Tariffs? Courts say illegal. And Brad Sherman admitted he “often agrees” with Trump’s tariffs. MAGA fascists + corporate Democrats enable this. Why are we playing catch-up? #CD32 #AhujaCongress2026 #ChrisAhuja #Ahuja #NoKings

It's 2025. We have actual concentration camps, and a white nationalist setting US immigration policy, and the majority of white people surveyed say that they support how Trump is "handling immigration."🤦🏿‍♂️

And I *still* have white folk in my mentions saying "I don't think that many support it? 🤡

To argue that Gazans could eat if Hamas simply released the remaining hostages and surrendered is to admit that Israel is using Gazans as hostages to achieve that end.

Part of my answer to "how'd we get here?" is an elite, institutional culture deeply opposed to calling bullshit. To do so is uncouth, uncivil, biased. Stated rationales must be taken at face value. There's no such thing as bad faith. Questioning motives is wrong. It's just debate, have some respect.
