Nixon's instincts about Polymarket are absolutely correct: it has been paying off the Presidents son and offering free pro-Republican ads in exchange for protection from actual regulation from its (mostly) sports gambling business donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-polyma...

i understand deeming zionism to be racism. but i do not at all understand targeting party members for belonging to synagogues whose politics do not match their own unless your goal is to push jews out of the party generally, which would be odd for a party with a jewish leader.

the problem with the way predominantly straight people do music events is that they see loudness and huge subwoofers as a virtue. the entirety of the music's feeling gets muddled and all you're left with is a sensation of BRRRRR even when the moment would be right. 2026 the loudness war never ended.

Please, for the love of God, can the media stop calling random cranks who write fan fiction about their personal heroes in the past "historians."

Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon aide turned Watergate historian and revisionist, recently gave a two-hour presentation at Justice Department headquarters that laid out his theory that the deep state took Nixon down. The title of his 78-page slide deck: “Watergate As Lawfare.”

As we have said for years—the Trump administration is only pretending to fight antisemitism in order to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitic. Their real goal is to crush anti-Zionism and subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.

campus police exist to protect universities from real police investigations and the bad press that accompanies them. they are public relations with guns. their purpose is to make the story go away so the university avoids a headache, not to secure justice for crime victims.

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.

No one is contesting whether third-country removals are *ever* permitted; the litigation is over whether individuals are entitled to notice & an opportunity to prove that they face torture or other mistreatment in that country before they can be removed. Good luck figuring that out from the tweet.

They cited nobody, and I wondered what kind of a monstrous sociopath would welcome this. Folks,

While the Trump administration is framing the policy as “accountability” for higher education, and _some are welcoming the move_, others see it as an attack on those whose work is important regardless of salary.

For any confused Americans, dogging is a traditional British term for walking the dog, if you're ever over here and see someone with their pet make sure to tell them how much you love dogging. That nothing makes you happier than seeing that wagging tail and panting mouth out on the heath.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.
