they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.

Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

Jimmy Carter Dies at 100: News and Reactions (Gift Article) The former president, a peanut farmer and Democrat from Georgia, was known as much for his charity and diplomatic work later in life as he was for his single presidential term, which ended in 1981.

In 1980, before I was old enough to vote, I had the privilege to work on his campaign. Truly among the best. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas. Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care.

Wrongs of the right

The fluoride fights are a decades-old cultural war America can’t quit The fluoride wars go back to the 1940s, when opponents called it a conflict over civil rights, not public health.

This piece is great...

Anti-abortion groups sue over Illinois law requiring insurers to cover abortions The lawsuit against Gov. JB Pritzker and other state officials alleging the 2019 Illinois law is unconstitutional follows the dismissal of a similar state court lawsuit in September.

But it’s okay with these busybodies that insurance covers circumcision which typically is a religious or traditional practice and occasionally medically necessary 🤔

sorry but I’m fucking furious that they’re going after Sarah McBride and implying she’s a sexual predator while electing DONALD TRUMP and appointing MATT GAETZ

Trump Live Updates: Latest News on Cabinet Picks and Matt Gaetz Ms. McMahon, a former professional wrestling executive with little experience in education policy, has long been a Trump ally. Earlier, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity physician, was selected to run the ...

So the Dems were accused of being too tight with the celeb element. Yet the cabinet nominees are a cast of reality tv and fox entertainment personalities?

I had the pleasure to work with Bob in the ‘90s when he began as community relations director with the Bulls. I remember writing the announcement of his new role. A true story of perseverance. #10

Trump’s FCC pick wants to intimidate broadcasters and enrich Trump allies Brendan Carr is pro-Musk and anti-media.

It’s not hard to predict what Carr would do at the FCC.

Project 2025, posts, and interviews—he's publicly laid out how he would crack down on and intimidate traditional media, boost conservative media, and unleash disinfo on social.

The result: An info ecosystem tilted further in Trump’s favor.

Democratic Governors Form a Group to Oppose the Trump Administration The group’s leaders, Govs. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Jared Polis of Colorado, are ambitious Democrats likely to try to fill the party’s looming leadership void.

How masculinity gurus cash in on the boy crisis The manosphere promises to fix young men’s lives. Instead, it’s making them miserable.

Like many resentful young men, Mark came to a concrete worldview: The advances of women in society had been a mistake. Their empowerment took something directly from him. In fact, women were at the root of his, and all men’s, problems.

This is the “Manosphere,” and that’s what they’re teaching 👇
