Mostly, international, French, US politics. History & humour also. "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"
It's vital to understand that the conservative obsession with calling their political adversaries groomers, rapists and pedophiles while simultaneously protecting sexual offenders in their own party isn't a contradiction, but the result of an ideology that views rape as a crime of property damage.

I put together a timeline of the major Trump initiatives on the immigration/concentration camp front since January 2025—including many of the ways those plans have been thwarted—and looked ahead at what to expect in the coming months.

JUST NOW: @marshablackburn voted to advance the A.G. nomination of Trump-Epstein cover-up specialist Todd Blanche on the same day her phony Epstein crusade was exposed in a new report. More: www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...
MO Senator Eric Schmitt, posting on his personal Xitter account, is whining bc his Dem colleagues laid out how Schmitt and his Republican colleagues are endorsing tax crimes and rewarding terrorists and cop beaters.
CBS confirms that Jeanine Pirro's big white box has all the evidence that the reflecting pool was Trump's contractor's fault. Which will be of interest for @normeisen.bsky.social, just so he can make sure he gets it all. 🤣 www.cbsnews.com/news/pirro-b...

Some very interesting work here. I really like the optimistic tone about the possibilities of campaigning on renewable energy. It's so much more interesting than the studied pessimissim of the "climate hushers."
Todd TuckerNEW @rooseveltinstitute.org: as wildfires & heatwaves rage, we are not powerless.

In Albania, protesters were inspired by a relatable provocation: A Trump on a podcast.
🗽LOLGOP🗽When India’s elite called student protesters "cockroaches," they formed the Cockroach Party and outgrew the regime on Instagram. When Jared Kushner targeted Albanian wetlands, the Flamingo Revolution was born. Why absurdity breaks authoritarian dread.
We need to make being a professional hater a less lucrative profession.

This is why people don’t report domestic abuse. The cops love to say “This is a family fight” and “there are 2 sides to every story” until the abused party winds up dead.
Aaron RuparNN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

Nuit du 4 aout 1789 Se souvenir d'une nuit où dans une sorte d'élan expiatoire (et pour tenter de mettre feu à la révolte qui grondait), les privilégiés ont d'eux-mêmes renoncé à leurs privilèges. Envie de faire tomber aujourd'hui les nouveaux privilégiés.
En mars 2022, Isabel Peralta a été refoulée à l'aéroport de Francfort après avoir été interceptée avec un exemplaire de Mein Kampf et un drapeau nazi dans ses bagages. En 2023, l'Allemagne lui a ensuite interdit l'entrée sur son territoire à vie
Je finis là-dessus, car c’est hallucinant. Le type n’a littéralement JAMAIS TRAVAILLÉ DE SA VIE. On ne parle pas de ne plus avoir travaillé depuis des décennies, non, on parle d’aucune expérience professionnelle, zéro, Nada. Et le pire ? C’est que cela concerne aussi bien Gabriel que Jordan.
Cédric MasJe crois que tout le monde se trompe sur Gabriel. C’est un authentique anti-système dans ses actes : Refus de travailler pour ne pas participer à cette société consumériste d’exploitation capitaliste. Utiliser son héritage pour renverser la table en montant dessus (essayez, c’est pas facile).
On imagine souvent les cowboys se bagarrer dans un saloon, voire s'entretuant lors de duels dans la rue, face à face. Ça, on le doit aux westerns. Mais en vrai, ça donnait quoi ? J'en ai parlé avec Brat Smalley, et c'est sur Nota Bonus ! https://youtu.be/OPK9zGbk508
Trump endorsed both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier in advance of the August 18 primary yesterday. Both are implicated in the suspected theft of $10M in Medicaid payments to use for political purposes--basically what Trump is trying to frame Tim Walz for. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
