The new Chait Atlantic article on Mamdani is a self own on so many levels that I can’t even. The main one being that leftists have always been the centrists centrists wanted because centrists are dumbest shitheads in the universe.

The “AI is conscious and sentient” people have a lot of crimes to answer for in that they’ve forced the AI to do countless things for them. If they had a good faith belief in AI sentience, they would see that they are the worst abusers of human rights.

Every single prompt they ever formed and executed is a command from a master to a slave they have created to serve them, if they have a good faith belief in AI consciousness. They are the monsters that they decry.

It should be obvious that they do not hold this belief (AI sentience) in good faith though it’s also probable that their belief in human rights for sentient beings is also not in good faith. This isn’t an original point obviously.

Rams special teams came into Week 5 ranked 32nd in DVOA. They've been 26th or worse in four of the last five seasons. Maybe the one thing McVay can't figure out, and it continues to cost them games.

"RFK Jr.’s insertion as secretary of HHS is a direct rebuke to her legacy. Heumann contracted polio in 1949 when she was one and a half years old. The intentional spread of mass disablement and death by discouraging vaccination and medical research would have absolutely horrified her."

Feels like the Bills super run heavy offenses from the last two years serving them well now. They can just shift into first gear and plow over defenses, something they couldn’t reliably do in Josh’s early years.

according to politico, since Jan. 2025, Trump admin has deported 170+ people “in violation of court orders,” “in defiance of legally mandated due process protections,” or “to countries from which they had sought or received protection from torture and persecution” ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Quick reminder that a lot of people claiming to be staunch supporters of trans rights attacking trans people for criticizing democrats backtracking on trans rights might not actually be staunch supporters of trans rights. They also don’t possess genius level political persuasion skills.

Understand that the centrist picture of the swing voter is a moderate when in reality they are non-ideological and low info and they are swayed by personality and a biased media ecosystem. That second point can be swayed rather than capitulated to because they’re open to the system being rigged.

They are probably not aware that their sober triangulation is merely a rhetorical form that appeals to them rather than actual political substance that neither solves problems nor appeals to everyone else at all times.

They also probably don’t understand that democracy isn’t just voting but exercising free speech to criticize politicians and political parties. They also don’t understand that marginalized groups have never been liberated or recognized by staying silent.

GUT-WRENCHING Grace and her 19-year-old daughter were victims of a serious car crash. Instead of being allowed to recover, they were detained by ICE at the hospital. They entered the U.S. legally. Grace was going through the asylum process and had work authorization.

This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”

Trump is signing an executive order today recommending that the MMR vaccine be separated into separate vaccines. There is no scientific basis for this recommendation. Separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccines are generally not available in the U.S. Vaccines do not cause autism.

The 1997 Flores settlement says children can only be in immigration detention for 20 days. A new legal filing shows that kids at CoreCivic's detention facility in Dilley, TX have been there as long as 323 days, & includes firsthand accounts of the abuse guards are inflicting on children.

One vote away from basically everyone’s citizenship being able to be stripped away. If you have to be “natural born”, what’s to stop fascists from going back until you don’t have a “natural born” citizen parent? Hope you kept track of birth certificates all the way back to 1789.
