I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Another member of the chat, William Bejerano — who tried to start a pro-life group at Miami Dade College — was the primary user of the n-word in the group. At one point, he posted a block of text calling for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, who he referred to using the n-word, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting people. Bejerano hung up the phone when reached by the Herald.
![Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans’ recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: “How edgy.” “Ew you had colored professors?!” Gonzalez wrote at another point. “I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds.” He told the group he used the term “colored” because, “I was told we cant say black anymore.” A couple days later, he added: “Avoid the coloreds like the plague.” He did not respond to a request for comment. The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiba3tsaelrqqyuqmrs2mxzan2vjomxpvm4gxnzutvyhv23d2qj4wu)

Fun fact, fox news once tried to sic a mob on me because I wrote that being hispanic didn’t mean you couldn’t be a white supremacist, because race is subjective and many hispanics identify as white. Completely unrelated here’s how some Miami Republicans talk in private
Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
This is madness. I wrote about "peptides" a few years ago, before the trend really hit. People are injecting themselves with black-market liquids purported to contain experimental drugs that were abandoned for failing to show benefits or being unsafe.

The party of narcissism
People are making fun of this but at the end they open mouth kiss and it's actually kind of beautiful. They're clearly doing hand stuff too but they don't show it.
I think this gets at the basic problem in this country: a whole lot of people are either unable to distinguish between truth and lies or actively and aggressively prefer the latter
Yes
our rich elites think she’s brilliant
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
I don’t buy this at all
I mean when has a hopeful moment of popular uprising against a despised regime ever given way to a new revolutionary government that came to be just as corrupt and repressive and sclerotic as the one it replaced. Certainly never before in Iran.

“They unleashed an army of highly talented, skilled, and competent public servants that now have the motivation and the time to fight back. They've tried to break our souls. They tried to break us down, but they're not going to take that fighting servant spirit. They're really not.”
Going back to feudalism, everywhere you look
a central GOP platform for as long as I've drawn breath has been the coddling of corporate power, the enabling of mindless consolidation, and the destruction of regulatory oversight
But every single time the party promises "antitrust reform" the U.S. press helps them pretend they have credibility
America’s epitaph
Just as the Framers intended
No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep
This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
Never forget who you’re fighting for.
Nope, we’ll just have another GOP regime doing more of the things GOP voters want and like, all while rich Democrats complain about annoying campus leftists and swing voters keep trying to kick Lucy’s football
Everyone needs an editor, including Judy Blume

feels so quaint.
In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law
