As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

16% thinking Obama was President during Hurricane Katrina is wild.
The analysis you've been waiting for: "Do you remember who was actually president when that happened?" Turns out the answer is often...no.
1 in 3 forgot Trump was in office on Jan. 6.
HALF didn't say Biden was President during the Afghanistan withdrawal!

How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To Value
Mike Brock's piece on Sequoia Capital last week laid out a pretty damning case study: a well-respected COO complains about a partner's Islamophobic posts, senior leadership invokes "institutional neutrality" and declines to act, she resigns, he stays because he made them billions on SpaceX. Brock correctly calls this out as a choice, not neutrality—a calculation about whose value to the firm matters more.
