This is going to sound cold, but I can’t help but think ‘On the bright side, such people are too stupid to raise a child anyway’

I guarantee that this person had cervical dysplasia, which often does go away on its own, and thinks she somehow ‘beat cancer’ by being a regular young woman with a functioning immune system

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions." Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
404media.co
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

This is a good story to read this morning. I especially appreciated this passage
Screenshot from Atlantic story saying:
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve.
The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave.
Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Thanks, I am glad at least that he didn’t have to die in agony, alone somewhere. I thought maybe he could fight through it but the vet convinced me there is no coming back from where he was. I will try to fight back the memories of his last hour of horror with memories of all the good times together

I had to put my 6 year old cat down last night. He had congestive heart failure and was drowning in his lungs, it was the kind thing to do. He’s was my sweetest baby, slept on my chest every night, purring and loving. I don’t know how to deal with this pain, I thought we had so much time yet

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

This is a very dumb take as I’m sure you’re aware by now. Also, we are not running out of good ideas, the problem is that there are an increasingly tiny number of people who have the financial backing to pursue their ideas and those people only want to finance the ideas of their rich friends

Happy Thanksgiving
A four-panel meme from the animated show King of the Hill. In the first panel, John Redcorn, an indigenous man, responds “Yes?” while looking at a blond boy Bobby Hill in a classroom. In the second panel, Bobby looks confused and asks, “Are you sure it’s the white man who did all that stuff?” The third panel shows Bobby gesturing toward himself and saying, “Because I come from white people,” and the fourth panel continues with him saying, “and this is the first I’m hearing of it.”

In my years working in public interest communications, I learned reporters often have the story they plan to tell already formed in their minds before they contact “sources” and will use—and even shape—what is told to them in the service of that narrative. Peter Coviello testifies to that process:

Yeah, fair point—slavery fans would rather white children never compete w/minorities on fair terrain. Tho I would be curious if u grew up w/ the children of the kind of situations I’m describing, like the $200M slavery operation in GA busted in 2021, or kids of (poorly) paid immigrant farm workers?

Aeon Flux Capacitor @aeonflux.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
The thing is they aren’t proving shit because sexual abuse is rampant in the temporary agricultural visa system and yeah the kids that result from that probably end up growing up alongside their enslaved mothers doing the same forced labor

Actually the women are OFTEN subject to sexual abuse in our current system and I’m sure at least one child has resulted from that

Our entire agricultural system is supported by slavery, & I’m not talking undocumented immigrants. I’m talking the immigrants who get temporary work visas, have their passports confiscated by the placement agencies that brought them over, and then are forced to work in deplorable conditions for no $

I have met only one person in my wide travels who told me she had injected crack & it was SOLELY bc she couldn’t get ahold of powder cocaine. You have to dissolve crack w/ lemon juice to make it injectable & apparently it hurts like hell. So yeah, people don’t inject crack. This ad is obscene
