A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This is, somehow, feasible.

So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

You wanna know how out of it I am when it comes to paying attention to major sports?

On YouTube I saw Jack White played the halftime show today and for a moment thought … wait, so they *did* replace Bad Bunny??

(Apparently, BB is playing the Super Bowl halftime show … in three months)

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

After recently reading The Fort Bragg Cartel, by Seth Harp (highly recommend), it's pretty easy to imagine how this could happen.
The man suspected of shooting two National Guard members was once part of a CIA-backed paramilitary group, one of several so-called Zero Units, according to Afghan and U.S. officials.
Here’s a Look at the D.C. Shooting Suspect’s C.I.A.-Backed Unit in Afghanistan
The units were backed by the C.I.A. and trained to conduct missions in Afghanistan during the U.S. war in the country.

This is unbecoming of a mayor to be honest. He should not be doing photo ops with “Catholic” Charities he should be doing actual New York mayor elect work like further militarizing the police in Queen or getting blackmailed by Tom Homan on live tv

"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

I know that Cheryl Hines is married to RFK Jr but my brain has never really been able to accept it as reality it feels like learning that Ronald McDonald is married to Daisy Duck it’s like what do you mean
