Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

During a press conference, Marco Rubio was unusually energized, restless, with rapid speech, visible agitation, dilated pupils, excessive sweating, jaw tension, frequent sniffing, and an intense emotional presentation reflected in rigid posture and exaggerated gestures. ❄️⛷️☃️

The correct answer to the question “What do you think of Adolf Hitler?” is I despise him, and everything he stood for, and everything he did. These Gen Z Republicans don’t give that answer. Instead, they’re kind of into Hitler.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

It’s not secular; it’s very Christian. And it’s an attempt to make people satisfied with the dregs. It’s all about getting poor folks accepting chalk in their milk and sawdust in their ground beef while rich assholes get the goodies.
Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.
It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

I try not to judge books by the cover, but she looks as thoroughly unpleasant as I expect a woman charmed by RFK, Jr. to be.
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

the epstein disclosure isnt about the cultists as far as im concerned. i wrote off those people in 2016. its for the rest of us, normal people. democrats and independents who dont think its good to have a leader who is a fuckin' pedo.
IN THE END, no matter the evidence, MAGAs aren’t going to give one shit about the #EpsteinFiles. The rules of their cult can’t allow it. The only people who think otherwise are pundits who pretend they understand what people on the Right will do next. They’re usually wrong.
