You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

This post is incredibly important. "Dignity" sometimes feels like an ephemeral thing, difficult to pin down. But you know INSTANTLY when it's taken from you.

A nation succeeding at developing an industry isn’t stealing anything. But what do I know? I’m not an expert like this pampered, corrupt dementia patient running a money-laundering operation while pretending to be a big, tough builder.

This article is incredibly well done, both for its reporting content, and for it's profile of this despicable cop. I imagine that if you could've interviewed a guard at Dachau in 1943, their responses to questions would be substantially similar to the responses in this piece.

This piece does a great job making the point that, our bankrupt jurisprudence around police use if force not withstanding, the cops should not be allowed to create the circumstances that create danger, and then kill people because of they very danger they created.

This seems like a big deal

The race to replace Ken Paxton as attorney general of Texas is a contest that has way bigger stakes than you might assume from the outside www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

I wonder if there’s any group other than Muslims you could write this about and keep your column at @theatlantic.com

Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."

Thanks to this vile little goblin for helping me make some progress on a unified theory of contemporary-style evil guys. defector.com/vivek-ramasw...

The White House official accounts are posting Down Syndrome slurs to attack journalists. These people are disgusting and morally depraved.

Abolish ICE.

Not to be a broken record here, but he's doing this because the the sexual abuse of children is a policy goal of the Republican Party. They do it themselves, their elected officials use their powers of office to ensure it continues, their primary electorate punishes dissidents on the issue.

this remains a great study of the estranged parents movement, and one of the almost universal features of these narratives is the missing missing reasons--the extreme caginess with which these parents present the events that led to the estrangement

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

It’s not just that GOP Senator Ron Johnson is aping Russian propaganda, which is quite bad on its own, but that he’s aping absurd Russian propaganda that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny, all to justify blatantly illegal aggression and mass killing, against a democratic US partner no less.

we just love our troops don't we folks? support the troops. stand up for the troops. respect their sacrifice. the troops. gotta respect 'em. it was bullshit the whole time, the same people who spent 25 years saying this cheerlead trump now as he does shit like this. here since she was 6!

The taking pictures of what people are texting in public trend is pretty psycho. Like yeah most of the time what they’re texting about is pretty embarrassing or bad or whatever, but normalization of looking over stranger’s shoulders and surveilling them for #content is pretty psycho!

Have to be clear just how dangerous this is. If it continues, it effectively removes constitutional rights from an entire class of people. Imagine you had to fear that if you criticize the regime, any error on paperwork filled out by your family decades ago could be used to strip your citizenship.

exactly! when they mince around acting tough while shrieking some fake ass nonsense about chuck schumer being a radical communist or iran being a day away from nuking nyc you can just lean into their face and say, with 100% conviction that everyone will see immediately, "you fucking disgust me"

i think it is fun when people write things that are just totally in tension with easily observable reality. like, this is “charlie brown had hoes” levels of nonsense: “in his first term Trump largely respected the cultural consensus of the Obama years.” www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

the "agentic" vision of computing is a spam world where everyone has their own personal army of spam bots working 24/7 on their behalf choking everything with spam to try and get one over on the next guy. and that's just not something that can really... exist, long term?

This is a great thread about the fact that a lot of conspiracies in the real world don't resemble The X-Files. Rather than shadowy men meeting in secret and concealing their activities, it's just shitty men meeting in the open and publicly planning to do evil.
