these people would say it was "unclear" why more people in germany didnt openly identify as jewish in 1942

Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

Hours later, Trump posts that the US has just had “productive talks” with Iran and announced the US will not attack Iran before the midterms.

We're maybe a week away from a Trump official shouting "White Power!" at one of these conferences.

FCC Chair Andrew Ferguson touts the administration's work to "protect white American men from discrimination"

In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

You know who makes a shitload of money from $8 diesel? CAPITAL

very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

This isn't a stretch. A person who's mind works like that at any age is not someone who can be trusted around another human. That person is a non-human. The kind who should be locked away forever. Anyone defending those men in any capacity are also not to be trusted around humans. Simple as.

The one kid literally posted "free pussy" in the group chat about a girl who was half-conscious after being force fed K and held against her will. That kind of person can't be allowed to walk amongst other people if we're gonna even pretend to be a society. Sorry.

Honestly don’t know how we continue functioning as a society with such a small number of people vacuuming up this much wealth. Basically the equivalent of the US defense budget was rerouted to 500 people in just the last nine months.

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

I don’t understand why we’re supposed to give a shit about this person.

You joined "grand vizier chat (secret)" You: dark rumors from aboard You: abroad* fuck Sssnakecharmer: mf said aboard WhispersintheChapel: ahoy matey lol PonderMyOrb changed the group name to "rumors from aboard"

Openai is blowing through cash spending on datacenter buildouts and hoarding gpus and other data center components for demand that will likely never materialize. This will be the bubble of the century.

This is getting the kid glove treatment a little bit because it's an entertainment venue, but if the president can unilaterally shutter government entities we're an authoritarian state. Full stop.

69% is good—but we can do better. No person you would want your daughter to be alone with would ever support this serial rapist, convicted felon, draft dodger, lifelong fraudster, foreign asset, pedophile, incest-curious malignant narcissistic psychopath.

Very cool how the first piece of non-Data center construction in 2 years is national news

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

I love the optimism about Dems winning in November - I share it! And: I'm a tiny bit nervous that winning will free folks of the urgency to fix deeper structural problems in our party that will fuck us in the long-haul if we don't grapple with them.
