I have a bud who went to an HR convention and she's new to the field after a career switch, and she went to a session where they were asked how they get people to stop calling follow ups for jobs they were turned down from, and multiple people said "Tell them it was because of DEI issues"

the lack of manufacturing consent regarding Venezuela is crazy

i don't think there's gonna be anything approaching a formal declaration, we're all just gonna wake up one morning to a Truth Social post that we started bombing them six hours ago

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

You'll never hate the press enough.
It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Genuinely do not understand the people who think it's some weird double standard or hypocrisy to treat Whitmer and Mamdani's visits to the white house differently. Whitmer was going there to support his tarrifs, Mamdani was just going for a conversation

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power

people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

But back to re: death threats, this is, hands down, one of the most poorly understood/low viz dynamics of the modern republican party. It practically shapes everything they do now in some capacity but it is also an unspeakable fact because it violates everything we’re allowed to think about them.

If you have access to the white house press pool: Just start calling WH officials you get access to Piggy.

Make them get mad so you can ask why they're mad.
Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy?

Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

Dear Leader is the greatest economics teacher in all of history. He's reaching ppl previously thought unteachable.
28-74 on inflation. That’s digging into the Republican base.
Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:

Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

You'd think the President calling for the execution of political opponents would warrant some type of news alert.

I have been threatening you all with this piece for a while now, and it's here!

The folks at Heat Death have very kindly given me space to talk about one of the things that I find most fascinating about this genre; the way in which we unconsciously treat it as if it's "true" in a Platonic sense.
New, on Heat Death! Thrilled to run this absolute banger from @goldwagnathan.bsky.social, on the bizarre way that concepts from 20th century Golden Age sci-fi have lingered in the scientific imagination, despite never coming within spitting distance of becoming — what's the word? — real

If Trump wants to go down this route, it’s appropriate to bring up that in most circumstances he’d be hanged after a drumhead court martial on Jan. 7th.
