@thewebbie @JustOneLarissa Isn’t that what current American politics is, golden calves of hate? With the left it’s Trump, with the right it’s a rotation of groups, such as Haitians, Somalians, transgender people, drag queens etc. There will always be another group to hate and blame everything on

@JustOneLarissa A Golden Calf they hate but can't live without. After Trump they will find something else to hate.

Confession from a former hard-left secular Jew. For most of my life I believed something many secular Jews still believe. That Judaism is basically: Bagels Comedy A few holidays And voting Democrat. Then October 7 happened. And suddenly I learned something our ancestors never forgot. Judaism isn’t just a culture. It’s a people. With memory. With enemies. With 3,000 years of survival instincts. And here’s the uncomfortable truth. When Torah disappears, something else fills the space. For many secular Jews, that something became progressive politics. Not Jewish values. Not Jewish law. Not Jewish memory. Just the latest ideology wearing the costume of morality. When you understand what Judaism actually is, your politics change very quickly. Some Jews learn this from Torah. Some learn it from history. Some of us learned it on October 7 — when the “human rights” crowd suddenly found their indoor voices while Jews were being slaughtered. That’s when the spell breaks. And once it breaks, you can’t unsee it.

@UnBoggledBob @AngelMD1103 What purpose did your parents forcing you to take off all of your clothes for them serve? Was this a humiliation/degradation thing?

@UnBoggledBob @AngelMD1103 So your parents forced you to get naked?

@anonanalogX @AngelMD1103 When the parents make a mistake does the kid get to smash one of their things

@AngelMD1103 And another thing. Parents aren’t perfect. We are people. We lose our cool. Maybe he can later tell his kid sorry I blew up but the message is still the same: you fucked up.

@HenriettaGreat @LongTimeHistory So if someone not in uniform says they are ICE but doesn’t show any indication they are ICE except for saying they are, you have to trust they are being truthful?

@LongTimeHistory ICE doesn’t show ID you psychos. And that guy isn’t in America legally.

ICE violently detain father legally working in U.S.—injure daughter's leg & rip out her nose piercing. "I told them that I was a U.S. citizen," she said. "We don't care," agents retort. "That doesn't matter. Agents were "dressed in everyday clothing"—and refused to show ID. Father was then put in a white van and taken to an unknown location—his family still can't be sure who took him or where. Rutilio Rosales is living legally in the U.S. with a work visa—that doesn't expire until 2029. He was simply attending to a routine traffic violation at the Wilson County Courthouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.

@TheLaddrAgency @krassenstein @MikeandJax Do you think Trump is a disgusting human being

@krassenstein @MikeandJax Yes you did…..you’re a disgusting human being. Please post your phone number and home address here. You won’t….not a real man….support men in women’s restrooms I would assume

When Trump dies. Good, I’ll be glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!

@webberwit @SpeakerJohnson @peta You’re taking what he said fully at face value without looking into it further?

@SpeakerJohnson Help me make this make sense. 190 Democrats voted to give illegal immigrants the RIGHT to physically abuse American Service Dogs. If they even tried to abuse my not very serviceable but cute dogs, I'd go nuts. Where is @peta

The Democrats just decided to officially become the party of PUNCHING PUPPIES. 190 Democrats just voted to give illegal immigrants the RIGHT TO PHYSICALLY ABUSE American service dogs — serving with law enforcement protecting American citizens. The level Democrats will go to protect illegal aliens instead of Americans is disturbing, disgusting, and dangerous.

@James_Schiano Group s*icide outside of Citi Field if they don’t make a deep run this season

Man, this is sad. Howie is the best. I don’t know this team without him. It’s been a blessing to have someone who’s literally a walking encyclopedia on Mets history call games and bridge generations of fans together. I’ll really miss him. Congratulations to him on a great career

@mikehawk345225 @yvessirae So in your view, negligence is excusable because “she would’ve been dead anyway”?

@yvessirae Probably would've been dead years ago in her own country. You should say thank you and be grateful for those years she got.

ICE detained a dialysis patient the morning of her treatment. She died 36 hours later in a detention infirmary. They logged it as "natural causes." When policy kills, call it what it is.

@realdariusdt @HansMahncke Politics are not always gonna align with your beliefs. When those who differ significantly from you politically have control, will you feel similarly about people chosen to work for the country not needing to answer for their choices or be questioned

@HansMahncke Why do they have to answer to anybody anyways? They were chosen to do work for the country why are they being questioned?

What they did to these DOGE kids, purely to harass them and discourage anyone else from even trying to do real civic work, is completely beyond the pale. Truly sick people. Credit to Nathan Cavanaugh for running circles around that mob.

@notgaetti I was born a Mets fan but I started to actively become a fan when I was 10 in 2006

Tell me your favorite MLB team and the decade in which you became a fan, and I’ll try to name a fun player or fact that sticks in my mind about them

@PhilMccoxwell @WhiteSoxJoy @allenanalysis If someone is financially unable to afford the documentation should they lose the right to vote

@WhiteSoxJoy @allenanalysis Yes. Because saving our country isn’t worth what is cost to have Netflix. You know if this bill passes you lose,it’s that simple.

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor. Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.” Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.” Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?” Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?” Silence. The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote. 50% of Americans don’t have a passport. The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters. The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans. This is not voter protection. This is voter selection. And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything. That’s the Senate in 2026.

@Shedletsky @MattWalshBlog This is just 1 anecdote, but I think it’s illustrative of the pressure towards herd groupthink and ideological purity tests on the right. The ideology you must stay pure to is simply loyalty to Trump no matter what. Any genuine criticism and apparently you’re not gop anymore

@MattWalshBlog I would hazard a guess that there is more pressure towards herd groupthink and ideological purity tests if you're on the left. A lot of these people can't even tell you why they think what they say, if you walk it down to first principles.

A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of AI, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It’s pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about AI (especially AI in creative fields) is that it isn’t human, it doesn’t have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It’s very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it.

@Tradwife2222 @atrupar Isn’t that what they do in North Korea, punish generations of family members for the actions of one person?

@atrupar He’s right. Therefore Mamdani AND HIS ENTIRE EXTENDED FAMILY must be DEPORTED BACK!

Q: He's a citizen and the duty-elected mayor of NYC. What evidence do you have to justify Mamdani's deportation? REP. RANDY FINE: I suspect he did not disclose his love for Muslim terrorists on his naturalization application

My sister is pregnant and she's looking for a baby boy name that ends with "on" Help her out before her husband suggests Dragon again 🙂

@Gina13005523 @CaptainDtrain @Ghostofcynthia How does voting for Trump 3 times makes him a leftist lunatic? Criticism of Trump means you’re a leftist lunatic? Does being part of maga demand lockstep loyalty and no significant criticism? Citizens don’t need to be loyal to politicians, it’s the other way around

@CaptainDtrain @Ghostofcynthia You’re just another run of the mill leftist lunatic

We’ve officially hit the fucking rock bottom stage of Trump’s presidency: Democrats are now straight up siding with a brutal Islamic dictatorship. I honestly thought TDS couldn’t get any goddamn worse, but here the hell we are. Fucking retards.

@BeaneaterB @metsventpage What does it mean that you’re a Braves fan but a Mets empathizer

@metsventpage Unfortunately, I have to admit that the Mets have a pretty great future ahead of them. I hope they find the most hilarious way ever to fuck it up. But I don’t see it happening.

Carson Benge is actually gonna be a demon bro holy
