RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

US government officials paid by our tax dollars manipulated US policy to interfere in Brazil's election, to punish Lula and push Flavio Bolsonaro to power: insurrectionists supporting other insurrectionists. But they failed. archive.is/7C52g

SHOCKED that the “protect women’s sports crowd” actually hates women. Who could have guessed this?
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...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them
“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

What’s “wrong” for Trump is the idea that a Black and Muslim woman he deems inferior could come to the United States and be granted rights as his equal ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
fwiw back in 2019, the last time the Trump admin directed federal authorities to comb through Ilhan Omar’s immigration records, they found no evidence of wrongdoing but actual legal wrongdoing is very much not the point of this "investigation" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

We truly live in the dumbest timeline.
You couldn’t make this up if you tried. Trump called Google Maps and asked if they could handle a name change for the Atlantic. Google Maps responded, “No, no, no. This time, I’m not doing it. Oceans are different, as they border a lot of countries.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sending employees a phishing test email telling them they are getting rings then making them take cybersecurity classes instead should be a 1 year suspension for Dolan MINIMUM. Jail time would be better.

The moral rot is top-to-bottom in the GOP. But let’s focus on the more specific issue here: Trump and his party like rape. Whether it’s child abuse or campus sexual assault, they think rape is ok. Maybe they even think it’s funny.
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"

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

Pretty nearly the whole actual point of getting white college students to go to Mississsippi for Freedom Summer was to draw national media attention
"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

No, Freedom Summer volunteers didn't take selfies or post tweets -- because that technology hadn't been invented yet. But when they were getting trained in Ohio before going down, they were *all over* the media of their day. Here's a paragraph on it (since cut from my book for space constraints)

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!
My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

I just can't stress enough that it's not a coincidence, and it's not even just a personality type. It is an active agenda and an ideological imperative. The physical and sexual abuse of women and children is as much a plank in the right's platform as tax cuts for billionaires. They work hard at it.
The corruption of Trump and those in his orbit is staggering. It dwarfs the corruption of all other presidential administrations combined.
