Time to post this banger again
The Substack of Boba Fett (@agraybee) tweet: Every lifelong Catholic I’ve ever met is like “I think we’re supposed to give this food to poor people” and every adult convert is like “the Archon of Constantinople’s epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn’t have drivers licenses.”

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons. Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

Watching the Sum of All Fears and it’s pretty ridiculous how the speech about fascism spreading easily in this information environment (and this was 20+ years ago) is so spot on in a GD Ben Affleck movie. We should be embarrassed how off guard we were caught.

Excited to see that the “Mamdani is bad actually” takes have started from people who don’t want him to speak with or associate with any people *they* disagree with BEFORE he’s even been sworn in.

Someone is having concerns about Twitter privacy all of a sudden
@ianmiles The amount of privacy violations in the new X locations update is staggering. Welcome to the new normal, where most users are treated like cattle and some people get more protections than others all because some other people can't stand it when a small group of people criticizes them.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

This is the part I’m hung up on. I also cannot imagine how @vanityfair.com can spin this to not make them look like absolute a*holes as they make her a west coast editor. What stories is she killing in that role?

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

He’s going to end up setting up regular calls to Zohran just to chat. It’s going to be like an old relative Mamdani can’t get rid of, just calling him because of what he saw on tv.

I should add: criticism of capitalism *in general* is also hardly unusual among American Christians and Jews, as well as American Muslims.

Malcolm X once speculated that capitalism would ultimately fall, comparing the system to a blood-sucking vulture.

Rep. Salazar, apparently referring to socialism, says Dems have been “infiltrated by an ideology that is completely foreign to the American values — the Judeo-Christian values.”

Religion note: Myriad debates around it aside, there's a long history of U.S. Christian and Jewish support for socialism.

“A special election for a heavily Republican House seat in Tennessee that was on virtually no one’s political radar a few months ago has surfaced as the unlikely new front in the fight for control of Congress.”

It was on my radar in MA, I’m thinking maybe it was just the NYT not paying attention.

(RNS) — As many as 500 people, a mix of clergy and other volunteers, have appeared at the training sessions on how to counter ICE.

Honestly, nothing says “these extrajudicial killings are totally legal” like “hang all my critics!”

He’s a lame duck. Why don’t they just cut him loose? JD is definitely already making Sora videos of himself in the Oval.
