In this house we believe: Popperian epistemology. The Anthropic Principle (At least on some branches of the multiverse). All species die, including necessarily this one.

When moderate dems lose Obama -- and they have -- then it's all over, the progs won. Sadly, the only place to go now is to the left side of R, meaning to vote and donate in whichever way will best oppose the progs.

Hate to say it, but Hasan represents one of the only paths forward that remains to the American Left after peak woke. All the "abundance" and "moderation" stuff is a pipe dream. Basically every major viable Democrat is already on camera, face hanging out, saying the most demented imaginable falderal about sex and race with his or her whole chest. Not only that but most of them insisted, violently, that to moderate or contest these insane positions even slightly would be the act of a murderous scumbag. You can't actually proceed from that to reinventing yourself as a centrist party, since then you become, by your own logic... a bunch of murderous scumbags! The cognitive dissonance is just too extreme, and anyway all the energetic young bloods coming up are of Hasan's variety: true believers. Charming, glib, telegenic, and totally insane. You may recall the lengthy interview between Hasan Piker and *checks notes* the current mayor of New York, where they ate donuts and dapped each other up and talked about seizing the means of production. That is where all this is headed. I have been boring the guys on @theammind podcast to tears about this for months, trying to Hasan-pill them. Our listeners have responded that oh, Hasan is an idiot, he's astroturfed, he's callow and cruel and deranged. All true. He's also hot, clickable, smooth, and persuasive to thoughtless people who read nothing which--uh-oh!--is a lot of people in this here democratic republic of ours. And now Ezra Klein is extending the Olive Branch to him in the New York Times because he can tell, as ever, which way the wind is blowing. You may not like it, but this is what peak Democrat performance looks like from now on.

We should oppose the Trump administration's abuse of the law to intimidate and cripple private advocacy organizations they don't like. But what they say about the Southern Poverty Law Center (which I used to donate to) is, unfortunately, correct: It “long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine.” Among the targets in its McCarthyite "Hate Watch" list are ordinary academic behavioral geneticists whose research challenges the blank slate. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/…

These 4 women receive death sentences simply for demanding freedom in Iran and right now sitting in prison, waiting to be hanged. Where are the left and Liberal in America? Why are the leaders of feminists movement so quiet? Where are the progressive leaders? So let me get this straight. When I asked @KamalaHarris to condemn what’s happening in Iran, people said I was being “too radical.” Too radical? Women are being hanged. Teenagers are on death row. And I’m the radical one not the Islamic Republic? So let me ask again; Where are you @AOC ? Where’s @Ilhan Where is @MichelleObama Where is @ewarren You can write 10 threads about Trump before breakfast, but somehow you can’t find 10 seconds to ask a regime to #StopExecutionInIran ?

My direct message to you, @KamalaHarris Who are you? No, honestly. Who are you? A Democrat who built a career talking about women’s rights, yet stayed silent when more than 30,000 people were massacred. Now suddenly you’ve found your voice? Thanks to @MariaBartiromo

There's a good chance that he's going to do well with this approach.
Vivek Ramaswamy@VivekGRamaswamy

The #1 factor that determines whether you succeed in life is you. It isn’t “the patriarchy.” It isn’t the Jews. It isn’t the Muslims. It isn’t the billionaires. It isn’t the foreigners. It isn’t white people. It isn’t black people. It's time for us to move on from victimhood culture in America.

You could hardly ask for a better demonstration of how un-racist America actually is than the fact that some of our most prominent “civil rights” organizations apparently need to fund the threat they claim to oppose to justify their own relevance in combating them.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups: -Ku Klux Klan -American Nazi Party -Aryan Nation -United Klans of America -Unite the Right -National Alliance -National Socialist Movement -Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club -American Front To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds. Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville — made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event. FBI Director Kash Patel: "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups — even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes." Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked." Scheme allegedly ran 2014–2023. FBI calls it an ongoing investigation. Insane!!!

This is a comical level of moral failure The undergraduate student council at UCLA Wants to prevent an Israeli hostage from speaking on campus Omer Shem Tov was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th And UCLA students think he’s the one who will be doing harm by speaking?
Israel War Room@IsraelWarRoom

INSANE: The undergraduate student government at @UCLA CONDEMNED an event featuring freed hostage Omer Shem Tov, saying the event reflects a "troubling disregard for Palestinian life." REMINDER: Omer Shem Tov is an Israeli civilian who was kidnapped by terrorists from a music festival during the violent Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. Talk about "atrocities" and "a troubling disregard for life." @LeoTerrellDOJ @UofCalifornia @EDSecMcMahon @usedgov @EdWorkforceCmte @EdWorkforceDems

Buffet's "when the tide goes out you find out who was swimming naked". Similarly, when tide of anti-semitism rises you find out who has real morals vs those who were playing along for the sake of belonging and praise. Get over the shock of how few the real ones are.

No one will listen to this guy because he is a "Bad Person TM" but he is certainly right here. The thing is, it is probably more powerful to remain registered D so you can vote in the primaries against the worst Ds, and then vote R until the Ds wise up. wsj.com/opinion/alan-d…

The Kielce massacre of Holocaust survivors, Poland 1946. It was by far the largest such incident in postwar Europe but also far from the only one.
⭕️Faerie ❤️@LiquidFaerie

It was just over a year after the war ended, in the Polish town of Kielce. A small group of Jewish survivors, maybe 150 or so, had gathered in a building at 7 Planty Street. They were trying to rebuild some kind of life after losing everything in the Holocaust. Most had come back from camps or hiding, hoping against hope that home might still be safe. On 1 July 1946, a nine-year-old Polish boy called Henryk Błaszczyk wandered off without telling his parents. When he turned up two days later, he spun a story to avoid a telling-off. He said Jews at that Planty Street building had kidnapped him, held him in a basement, and were planning to kill him along with other Christian children for some ritual. There was no basement, of course, and none of it was true. But the old blood libel rumour, that ancient lie about Jews murdering kids for their blood, caught fire anyway. Early on the morning of 4 July, Henryk went with his father and the police to the building. Word spread fast. A crowd started gathering outside, restless and angry. Police went in first. They quickly saw the boy’s tale did not add up, but by then the mood on the street had turned ugly. People shouted that the authorities were covering for the Jews. Soldiers arrived around ten o’clock. The Jews inside felt a flicker of relief, thinking help had come. Instead, shots rang out. Some say a Jewish resident fired in panic to defend the place. Others point to the troops themselves. Either way, the violence exploded. Police and soldiers joined civilians in dragging people out, beating them, shooting them. Men, women, even a mother with her baby, no one was spared. By midday, workers from a local foundry poured in during their lunch break, armed with iron bars and clubs. The courtyard turned into a killing ground, littered with blood and broken weapons. The horror spilled beyond the building too. Jews on passing trains through Kielce station were pulled off and attacked. In total, 42 Jews died that day. Dozens more were badly hurt, some so severely they did not survive. Two Polish men who tried to help the victims were killed as well. Imagine surviving the camps, losing your whole family, and then facing this from your neighbours. The fear it spread was enormous. In the weeks that followed, thousands of Polish Jews decided they could not stay. What had been a trickle of emigration became a flood, with over a hundred thousand leaving the country. Kielce showed them, in the most brutal way, that the old hatred had not died with the war. Later, Polish authorities held quick trials. 40 stood trial, 9 people were executed, but many of the police and soldiers involved faced little real punishment. The event shocked the world and remains one of the darkest chapters in post-war Europe.
