The Trump administration sent two dozen federal agents to arrest two journalists who certainly would’ve turned themselves in with their lawyers for processing if called. It’s absolutely perverse and a waste of resources meant solely to intimidate

Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100
You know the anxiety you feel when you are committing a small crime, like you think you parked 13 feet away from a hydrant instead of the required 15 feet?
Man, these guys in the Epstein files have none that.
This is what we said inside @medium.com in order to give space for people to participate in tomorrow's national strike.
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Thank you for saying something. Can you say more? Like, I get that you would rather have an ad-free experience. But is there something about this ad in particular and where it is placed?
Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.
There's the red pill and the blue pill, but what's the pill where you visit Europe and see everything they get for their higher taxes?

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Books are the single greatest learning tech ever invented by leaps and bounds above the laughable slop shit silicon valley is extruding.
I don't think people properly appreciate just how badly Trump/Johnson have had to screw this up to achieve these results.

castro.fm/episode/N1wWm1 Listened to this podcast, and it made me look into Medium again. Most interesting was the focus on subject matter experts. If you write only 2 articles in 5 years that's fine with Medium. With platforms like Substack you need to write a lot to…
Today was great. But friends, please know that NYPD chose to stand back bc white people were overrepresented among marchers
When cops let us assemble peacefully, they're doing so to create contrast w/gatherings of black and brown ppl where cops are violent--so they can blame POC for that violence
Even the most repressive states are careful to maintain the pretense of legitimacy. If you get censored it's because you're a foreign agent or a criminal or a sexual deviant who's menacing society. Not because you hurt the Leader's feelings. That looks weak.
Great thread on the case for Trump’s weakness.
I think Trump is rapidly consolidating power because his team has a plan and is willing to act like Trump, as if they will always outlive the consequences.
But:
1. He’s much better at getting out of trouble than his people are.
2. He’s really old.
entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster
