bring back shame for being a huge fucking racist in public

Beattie praised Dr. James Watson, the founder of modern genetics who later suggested Black people were less intelligent than White people, as the “greatest living American scientist. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/p...

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

This took three people? Truly embarrassing shit.

I spend all day worrying about what to cover and making sure that important stories don’t get left behind, and Politico is assigning three reporters to write a story to keep the police union happy? What a fucking joke.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

“SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!”

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

When the Euro couple on vacation ask if you'd be interested in swinging and you're like "shit, maybe."

Imagine being simultaneously this racist and yet completely wrong.

Our election research team put out an article today explaining how the prediction markets (e.g. Kalshi, Polymarket) — and social media posts featuring visualizations from those platforms — may feed election rumors & conspiracy theories around the U.S. midterms: uwcip.substack.com/p/what-to-kn...

“Billionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell shares—which could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rights—in companies they founded.” www.wsj.com/finance/the-...

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

There are several reasons why the NYT supports the GOP and Trump’s movement (though they may dislike him personally) but I think it boils down to the simple, and frankly sickening, fact that they don’t want the more inclusive world that liberals are trying to achieve.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

Another data point for the “Yglesias brain is cooked” hypothesis. Imagine thinking that it doesn’t matter for American democracy if other countries are taken over by autocratic regimes. We just saw the result when Orban lost power and a bunch of conservative influencers had their income vaporized.

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-prot...

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Chuck Schumer Once Decried GOP ‘Silence’ on Trump’s Racist Attacks on Ilhan Omar. Now He’s the Silent One.

WATCH: Yesterday, Lula won a stunning comeback victory to defeat Flavio Bolsonaro. Brazilians took to the streets to celebrate, their parties reflecting the joy of the mobilizations that propelled his win! All over Brasil last night, you heard people singing “Ole ole olaaaa, Lulaaaaa, Luuula".

How are you still writing this shit www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

As usual the article is about a deranged bigoted backlash to a Democrat but concludes that Democrats need to do better.

Our latest report:

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

Administration has a real data manipulation problem: - DHS exaggerates immigrants who’ve left US - Patel's FBI pads crime stats - IRS hides tax cut data until after midterms - Census excludes immigrants www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Lots of interesting ideas - for example, use a secret ballot for impeachment trials, so Republican Senators can vote yes.

Induction stoves can be pricey. This group buy program in North Carolina and Georgia, in combination with government rebates, is making them more affordable.

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

The modeling industry impresarios were all team rapists, and they each copied the visa and passport revocation game from one another. “Perv-A-Lago” was never just a joke.

This is true, obvious and notably unremarked upon in US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/theb...

it's all so painfully obvious badfaithtimes.com/title-ix-is-...

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Steve Voguit, the co-owner of a local i9 Sports franchise that removed a 3-year-old Black child from the youth soccer league after parents called police and complained he was too good, follows several MAGA accounts on Instagram.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

i’ll never understand how terfs can’t look around at the company they keep and wonder if they’ve gotten something wrong

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

ICE is planning an intelligence program called ERO ONE that would bring in contractor analysts to look for threats across large datasets, according to procurement documents. @aclu.org calls it a domestic secret police agency in the making. www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

I saw someone else make this observation. If I give you a calculator and then tell you "Well it is going to be wrong 20 % of the time" do you use that calculator?

Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back. Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically. What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners.
