These protesters have nothing to do with Palestinian rights or peace. Their goal is eliminationist — that any recognition of Israeli humanity is unacceptable, even if comes from someone like Mamdani and is part of a peace vigil. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

I love Aaron. But this seemed unusually important, so I watched the speech until I got to this part. He says he was lifted out of the US Steel building because it was creaking and people thought it would fall down, NOT that he was lifted from the rubble on 9/11.

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

A wild story that sums up so much about this moment. Rare books bought up by a hyperscaler, driven across the country by truck, scanned and fed into the woodchipper by low wage workers so the rich can build and own systems that squeeze, surveil, and automate labor and control knowledge generation.

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.

Hi, you've reached the Pharisee hotline! Actual, historical Pharisees were just early Jewish rabbis (before the term "rabbi" was used the way it is today). Considering that Jews do believe in helping the poor and foreigners, it is best not to use the term "Pharisee" for people like Vance.
