Meanwhile, MAGA is still pretending that trans women are the real bathroom threat.
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

Up until that point you'd describe him as instinctively conservative, whose antisemitism was not especially egregious for his time. He had beliefs a lot of non-genocidal dictators had. That was until he was convinced a bunch of commie Jews stabbed Germany in the back.
Doesn't sound genetic to me.

About the Hitler diagnosis thing: this is one of the most rigorously studied people of all time. We know what kind of guy he was every step of the way. And he was relatively normal, the sort of failson we've all met, until Germany lost WW1. That radicalized him. When he was 29.

I hate this shit. It's straight-up eugenics and it's been going on for decades. It's an attempt to explain Hitler and his actions, and a low-key effort to excuse what he did. That may not be the explicit goal of this research, but it implicitly sanitizes and legitimizes the man and Nazi ideology.
Exclusive: Adolf Hitler’s DNA has been sequenced by scientists
It has:
- shown he had a disorder which impacted his sexual development
- debunked rumours about his ancestry
- shown a high likelihood that he had a neurodivergent condition and/or bipolar disorder

Hitler had hidden genetic sexual disorder, DNA analysis reveals
The Nazi dictator had Kallmann syndrome, which hinders normal puberty and the development of sexual organs, according to groundbreaking research

Jesus Christ, people. Just fucking leave Fakebook. It has absolutely no value. You can't even guarantee your "friends" are actually real. You have the numbers of your local friends and relatives. Call them! Hang out with them IRL. That's how you catch up. Go out and touch grass.
The most horrifying AI slop of ICE raids you can possibly imagine is wildly viral on Facebook, collectively totaling tens of millions of views from a single account. First spotted by @chadloder.bsky.social

Creating a new party is hard. You can't just Jill Stein that shit, run for president every four years, and expect to overthrow the system. It doesn't work that way. We have the proof. What has the Libertarian Party done? The Greens? Hell, look at how well No Labels did in 2024.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

It's gonna be underrated in the historiography, if we still have that in the future, how lucky Trump et al were to have found themselves opposed by this group of Democrats. A stoppable force meets a moveable, even conciliatory, object.

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.
So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?
Seriously?
