NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I’m not a fan of “indicating acting”; as much as I love The Departed, in both that and Gangs, I don’t buy that not everyone is constantly saying, “This guy is clearly a traitor, just look at his face”

The dumbest part: “Plus it goes against the expanding realization that hard-left wokey wackos have all but destroyed the Democratic party’s profile among middle-of-the-road voters, and that it’s time to pull back on that shit right now and for the wokeys to flee into the forest and stay there.”

I didn’t know who J.W. is. So I looked this up and read it. And now I wish I still didn’t know who he is

When you platform and promote creepy Cuomo, it means no one is there to cheer on your show

You’re genuinely making a poor choice in this analogy—going after consistent voters has much less upside than going after those who aren’t consistent voters

Probably completely unrelated to real life and stories like this, but I helped some fine people make a track coming out Friday called “Trump is a Pedophile”, which you can find here…

Worth noting that 1) ChatGPT likely has access to the OG letter, so some similarities are to be expected (depending on prompt); 2) this doesn’t necessarily mean it was or was not written without an LLM; 3) these kinds of letters are typically this vapid and worthless; and 4) Bari Weiss is still shit

the thing about the “official antifa” citation is that it is just definitive evidence that she’s a stone cold dumbass

gonna go to my grave muttering about how this charlatan unironically cited an "Official Antifa" Twitter account in the NYT bsky.app/profile/jame...

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 9d

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.
