It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

the lesson from the right is not that their obsessions with trans volleyball, anti Haitian blood libel, or reversing the change in teen pregnancy rate are actually the well framed kitchen table issues of the volk but simply that political discourse becomes about things people say often and loudly

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

Texas cannot enforce restrictions on some public drag shows after a federal judge again declared a 2023 law unconstitutional. “For those who find such activities offensive, the solution is relatively simple... just don’t go,” Judge David Hittner wrote.

The right taking the misogyny angle on Natalie Harp is interesting because I think, based on her letters to him, one could easily argue the president is emotionally abusing and taking advantage of a vulnerable and potentially unstable woman

This is absolutely insane, imagine if a progressive elected official was refusing to support Haley Stevens if she won! You’d never hear the end of it. Centrists are the ones who are dividing the Democratic Party with their Islamophobia and purity tests.

THE ODYSSEY sold out? Consider this globetrotting Arnold Schwarzenegger adventure in which he cuts off several guys' arms to save Alyssa Milano from an Australian in a mesh top.

Perhaps an unpopular, but correct, opinion: THE ODYSSEY is a better movie than OPPENHEIMER. I respected Oppenheimer, more than I enjoyed it, whereas The Odyssey is actually blockbuster entertainment. Both are excellent films.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.
