If he would have withdrawn earlier, he would have been a lame duck immediately ... And they would have had no argument to not do a real primary.

They fucking should have done exactly that.

I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim.

Someone wants him in the mainstream. Why? And what does it mean? postsfromunderground.ghost.io/on-tucker-ca...

on tucker carlson, nick fuentes, the heritage foundation, and all that

If you had asked me in 2016 whether I thought I’d write a blog about the Heritage Foundation defending a former Fox News host after he hosted a friendly conversation with one of the country’s leading ...

Jamaica and the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Melissa have been largely dropped from the news agenda.

'No help, no food, no water': Hurricane-hit Jamaican towns wait for aid

Days after Hurricane Melissa hit, communities are isolated with little food, no water, and no idea of when normalcy will return.

Maybe maybe not.

That debate was devastating.

Maybe the outlier was that Biden very narrowly bet Trump 5 years ago.

There are so many crazy blue checkmark posts over there ... I find it impossible to know if someone is real or fake.

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

There are a large number of Democratic politicians who insist that Jonathan Haidt is a reliable narrator and one who they should take their legislative cues from. They should be asked why they're supporting someone the Heritage Foundation is cheering on in their efforts to censor the internet.

Tweet from Heritage Foundation's boss Kevin Roberts:

Thank you, Jonathan Haidt, for reminding everyone Heritage
yesterday that tech tycoons like Leonid Radvinsky and Solomon Friedman are profiting to the tune of millions by preying on America's young men and women.

We are proud to be in this fight with you. It is time to arrest, prosecute, and convict the sick perverts behind OnlyFans and PornHub.

One thing Trump shut down by destroying USAID was programs (at least in Asia) to protect Christian minorities.

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 2d

Trump said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.

Trump tells Defense Department to 'prepare for possible action' in Nigeria

The move came a day after Trump designated Nigeria a "country of particular concern" over alleged violations of religious freedom.

Ukrainian forces struck the oil terminal berth of Tuapse in Russia. Pictures and videos indicate that it is on fire. Possibly, an oil tanker was also struck.

This is one of only three important and large oil terminals Russia possesses.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU???!!!

Alt text: A post on X by Brianna Wu reads: “Trans sisters. I’m pretty sure I was wrong. I am sorry. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if I ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit ‘trans women don’t belong in women’s sports,’ they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, ‘I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading,’ they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don’t have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It’s like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They’d throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these policies. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it’s fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don’t know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist.” The post timestamp reads 6:52 AM, Nov 1, 2025, with 39.6K views.

Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Several lawmakers said Thursday that the Pentagon relayed that it did not need to know the identities of those being targeted in the attacks, or if those killed had been trafficking drugs.

“What they told us is they have to show a connection to a designated terrorist organization or their affiliate, and as long as they can show that connection, they believe they are authorized to strike,” Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) said in an interview.

But such connections could be as much as “three hops away” from a known drug trafficker, Jacobs told reporters after the briefing.
