For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

He made the game winning pass lol. Unsubscribed
LeBron James put up eight points in the Lakers 123-120 win over the Raptors.
It's the first time since 2007 he hasn't reached 10 points in a regular season game.

Some of the smartest people I grew up with all jump on this same gibberish jargon, speaking to no average person. And I hate to see it.
Like you could do anything with those wits and affluence and this is where you end up. Praising power hedgers with market-structure experience. Sorry, wut?

I hope the difference between corporate media and civic-minded non-profit media is crystal clear. Even in these highly uncertain times, public media are still fighting for journalism and access to good information

Yea, that sucks. Privacy matters, it's a lot of work to get off gmail but it can be done
As ICE hunted for campus activists to deport this spring, they sent administrative subpoenas to Google and Meta about Cornell students Momodou Taal and Amandla Thomas-Johnson. Google complied with the subpoena about Thomas-Johnson's account without notifying him. theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...
Google Secretly Handed ICE Data About Pro-Palestine Student Activist
