This is a nakedly thuggish and corrupt administration. People who support it should be treated as corrupt thugs.
A media mogel with important merger business before the FCC says he has "great conversations" about it with Trump, while Trump for his part speaks openly about the kind of ownership he wants to see at CNN, a news network he detests.

I like that the "woo yay chaos, Duke destroy the ACC and get JMU in while #10.1 Miami misses again" thing requires simply placing faith in that most stable of elements: Duke football

Tbh I didn't think the committee would paint itself into this corner by ranking JMU tonight. We're really doing this

Available tonight at our show. Batch 2 should be getting here this afternoon that I plan to give to local biz owners I know to hand out. Super cheap online, and according to boots on the ground, very effective in alerting folks ICE is in the area. If you’re in NC please consider doing the same.

Racism is not just morally evil and corrupting to a functional society, it’s also just the dumbest, most simplistic worldview possible, the type of stuff that’s hard to say out loud without sounding like you’ve suffered a serious untreated brain injury

Fantastic writing.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Just going to say this the easiest way to avoid learning your candidate has a Totenkopf tattoo is to build real movements that aren't centered around electoral microcelebrities

Tens of millions of people are set to lose food stamps in weeks and conservatives are celebrating it right in the open on social media. They’re gleeful about starving children, literally saying “fuck them kids.” Yet another reason that “pro-life” is a misnomer. They’re loudly pro-death

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.
EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
