The El Faro reporting is how we know that among those kidnapped by the U.S. and sent to CECOT are some actual gang members who were set to be indicted in the U.S. and possibly testify to Bukele's deals with them. I did a deep dive about this here: youtu.be/AB8ZREZNLOQ?...

🚨 The Bukele dictatorship is preparing arrest warrants for my colleagues @elfaro.net, after the outlet exposed details of President Bukele’s secret ties to gangs.

I think one of the funniest things about social media is a person screaming over and over at you that you mean something when you are saying, “no, that’s not at all what I mean.”

Holy shit, you guys. I just read Curtis Yarvin'a actual writing instead of a summary. The man is 51 years old, treated as an intellectual by the Sand Hill elite, and he writes like the most annoying freshman honors student who ever discovered Nietzsche from a comic book guide to philosophy.

The reason many don’t care Trump has his own crypto now is because Congress can do insider stock trading and bribery is basically legal. You can’t scream “no that’s really corrupt” when the entire government is built on corruption. If anything, it’s just a natural evolution.

of all the biases in the news media—and there are more of them than ticket to ride expansion packs—the "never give credit to the independent journalist who broke the story" bias is the one that they hate exposed the most because it shows you don't need $2 billion in production value to do journalism

CBS News quietly updated their story. I still don’t understand how WaPo could’ve reported it first if I was the one who “uncovered” it, but I guess it’s an improvement.

There’s nothing about empathy that says you have to be nice to someone. Like have we never heard about stern parenting? I also think it’s crazy to not want to understand how someone got there and to think this country is providing anything but fuck all

The narrative that anti-vaxxers or QAnon weirdos will come back from the brink if we're nice enough to them isn't tenable morally and doesn't hold up empirically. Ostracizing people whose beliefs harm others is a critical aspect of a functioning marketplace of ideas.

"The latest clue comes from those known lefty rabble-rousers at the, uh, University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School." Even reporters are now make this joke because cutting fossil fuel pollution is so obviously just common f*ckin' sense.

Corporate America Owes the Rest of Us $87 Trillion

Switching to renewables is expensive, but it will cost Americans much more to stick with fossil fuels.
