And @theatlantic.com has some of the best writers and some of the worst.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

when the dust settles on this entire failed state and we emerge with a new government that's democratic, one of our new laws is gonna have to be making it illegal for journalists to write books. the failures to report stuff in a timely manner aren't the only problem but they aren't helping

This is a major, major talking point on the right. Elon Musk rails against "suicidal empathy" and the term has caught on among millions. They believe that society is collapsing because we are tolerating too much and not punishing enough.

You see this kind of "if I win I win, if you win no you didn't" rules shifts very frequently when a Democrat wins an election in a "red state". It seems like Democrats respond in kind very rarely and almost all examples I can think of are in the last year.

continues to be one of the most validated and prescient pieces of our time

ok they definitely one hundred percent no doubt in my mind killed Marshall Matthers and replaced him with a lookalike

“You believe Elon’s racist?” “Yeah.” “We just show his tweets. People can judge for themselves when they see the film. They’re outrageously racist.” @ashleystclair.bsky.social & @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social tell Don Lemon the ‘MUSK’ doc shows Elon is very clearly racist. (H/T @marco.foster)

It's almost like we shouldn't let a small group of the most venal people on earth control the internet

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Bot farms are pushing that stupid car doing flips to flood any mentions of that Nazi prick and suppress anyone talking about how he's the one who told the White House to have the DOD turn off Starshield. Ukraine should file homicide charges against him and seek extradition

This bad boy can fit so many nationalized space companies inside it you wouldn’t believe it

why do we all have to work and act civil when the deranged president of the usa is using ai to insert himself into real viral death footage in the dead of night. like can we just get away with being shit at our jobs today?

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.

I’m so glad Digger exists

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Cruel and unusual punishment is unconstitutional

Nope. Constitutionally cruel and unusual punishment. His lawyers need to argue that.

In addition to this being the plot of The Running Man, this is pretty much textbook cruel & unusual punishment, even by the reactionary standards of scotus precedent

A clear violation of the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Abolish the death penalty.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

I don’t think John “torture memos” Yoo should be allowed to opine on ethics on national television or really anywhere

I wrote a thread earlier today (before even reading this story, actually) about how commonly the “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story are actually procedural distortions made by people in positions of power who are invested in disbelieving her:

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

He’s obviously removing all anti-trump leaders ahead of a ‘national emergency’ so they can halt elections and seize permanent control.

Now seems like a good time to say that the more I look at what doge did with USAID the more it looks like a straightforward eugenics project and Elon’s protests that he didnt know anyone might die seem doubly evil

this whole thread is nuts, the report is nuts, we are successfully editing some fairly major bugs in the current release of Human

retatrutide is going to change so many lives for the better

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

To put it crassly: Subsidizing the degree up front is how you get away with paying mediocre salaries and still have a pool of decent workers to staff your schools and social welfare agencies.

For some of these majors, governments are a primary employer. So this rather self-defeatingly deters people from entering those fields, meaning 5 years down the line, oops, there’s a shortage of qualified teachers & social workers prepared to work for public-sector wages.

Trump aims to open nearly all national forest trails to dirt bikes and ATVs. “It’s going to create a lot of conflict and confusion and animosity.”
