I try to get people to do stuff online that makes a difference offline.
I'm pretty sure he knows, he just doesn't care. To Ben and his audience, racism is more important than integrity.
Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

RFK Jr. led HHS just doled out $150 million to this firm to represent 24k+ kids which "bills itself as a “boutique” firm “known for elite counsel in high-stakes litigation, environmental, regulatory, and corporate matters.”" w/ "none" of its lawyers listing "immigration law as an area of expertise."
26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court
Just very depressing to me that this sincerity, honesty, and clarity is a huge electoral risk while muttering the same three slogans over and over again forever is savvy campaigning with a proven track record of success.
El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...
you know what I should have honestly expected that the "I don't know how many people I've killed" governor candidate would get worse
Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
If you lay your head in the five boroughs, it should be easy to prove the pied-a-terre tax doesn’t apply to you. You wouldn’t defraud the DOF and your insurance company by registering your car in another state, right? For @fortune.com: fortune.com/2026/08/04/z...

Those out-of-town plates you see might belong to residents of the city you’re in, but they may be drivers slick enough to pull insurance fraud.

Max Miller Shared Inappropriate Photo of Their Daughter, His Ex Says

I support civil forfeiture for motorists who drive without visible license plates.
I actually think the lack of republicans on this site has directly led to the lefties here being as shitty as they are. They don’t have actual right wingers around to yell at, and they want to yell at someone. So they yell at people who in the real world they mostly agree with.
Good am. Now 900 days left till January 20, 2029 - when Trump has to leave the White House. #Lameduck
It's like what that German guy always used to say. Sustained kinetic strikes in lieu of a cessation in hostilities are negotiations by other means
There is rising actual antisemitism and conspiracism surrounding the state of Israel and its place in global affairs. And the organizations that should exist to call that out are wasting all of their credibility refusing to distinguish conspiracies from accurate descriptions of Israeli war crimes.
Larry Nassar thinks this is a great idea.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Across the more than 6,300 miles of NYC's streets, the NYPD’s nearly 34,000 officers ticketed only 10 drivers for blocking bus lanes, 12 drivers for parking in a bus stop and 10 drivers for parking in a bike lane last week.

My support for the resist wine mums as democracy's strongest soldiers and my hatred of cutesy AI imaginings of iconic characters uttering banal vaguely leftwing populist truisms are in conflict with one another.

I think the conflation of "farmers" and "farm owners" is doing a lot of work in setting rural policy, and to build a real rural-urban anti-feudal coalition you'll need to cut through all that noise
Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.
From drop shippers to AI supplement sales. These are scams in everything but the law. All these ‘creators’ are effectively being trained by Rosabella to AI scam at scale and I’m sure APTs are taking notes of successful models like this.
How a company called Rosabella used AI content to market its supplements: "If you’re trying to sell health products to a 50-year-old, well, make your avatar 50 years old."
A bunch of people who would look out the window to check if AIPAC said “the sky is blue” also think AIPAC’s claim that they defeated a particular candidate is the definitive last word
"getting into difficulty" British understatement is wild.

Apparently Iran had attempted to target several senior Israeli figures recently. And this, children, is why we observe the norm against assassinating civilian leaders. It’s not because they’re not complicit. It’s because it’s a cycle we don’t want to start.
