Though the president lost an election, He still had a large mob’s affection. So, taking no pause And ignoring our laws, He incited a vile insurrection.

@Noahpinion @lauferlaw The world is a fucked up place. And lots of places that used to be little islands of justice and prosperity are now run by profoundly evil people.

They called this an intentional foul, 2 free throws and possession. A 2-year-old could see this wasn’t intentional.

> “Individuals have rights. States do not, at least not in the same way.” This is an admirable *aspirational* statement. But as a purely factual description of what actually is, it’s spectacularly false for much of the world. Which is, of course, why Israel DOES need to exist.

On the narrow philosophical point, @TuckerCarlson is correct. Individuals have rights. States do not, at least not in the same way. Individuals, because they are created by God, possess inherent rights. States are created by man.

Does Israel have a "right" to exist? No. But that doesn't mean it should be dissolved. I’m surprised pro-Israel advocates haven’t made this argument. But it requires conceding things most of them would rather not concede. My new essay for @wcrowdslive 🧵 wisdomofcrowds.live/p/does-israel-…

@aurorasheild420 The jury seemed not to be able to conclude that he meant to murder her. He gave her the drugs, appears to have assaulted her and hid the body. But that was not enough for the jury.

Another day and another Mohammad has been found guilty of being responsible for the death of a British woman. Mohammad Durnion invited Reanne Coulson to his flat in Coventry last summer. Whilst there she suffered head and neck injuries, as he attacked her. He claims that she died of an overdose. Neighbours heard screaming and reported it to the police. The police arrived but did not thoroughly search the flat, which was in appalling condition, using a bucket for a toilet. They did not find Reanne’s body, even though it was in the flat. When the police had left, Durnion returned to the flat, retrieved the body and took it to the woods where he tried to burn it. Durnion has been found guilty of manslaughter and will be sentenced tomorrow.

@malonebarry A crazy homeless person has started camping in the corner of my neighbor’s yard. My neighbor hasn’t been able to get him to leave. Whenever me or my wife or kids walk by, he masturbates in front of us and throws his feces at us. But he’s in my neighbor’s yard, so what can I do?

Israel has invaded and is illegally occupying southern Lebanon. That’s how it should be reported.

@the_christnats Britain is an awful place filled with awful people. Awful people who commit awful crimes. And different awful people who excuse and minimize the awful crimes and look the other way and ensure that the criminals never get justice. There are a few decent people left, thank god.

He snatched a British child on her way to school and orally r*ped her. Listen to her cries when the woman rescues her. THIS IS HORRIFIC.

@GadSaad I’d honestly like somebody to offer me compelling argument why he should be executed within the year. Not a rhetorical statement. This is just so obscene. What kind of society tolerates this in any way?

Spain failed to protect Noelia Ramos from being gangrap*d by migrants in a state facility. Now, courts are overriding her father to euthanize the 25yo for the resulting depression. Leftist Spain entirely lost its moral compass.

@robermem @Noahpinion There was an ideological movement called progressivism that existed in the 1800s. Thats true. Theres an ideological movement called progressivism today. The have little to do with each other.

Americans really, really do not like progressive ideology. They liked liberal ideology. When liberalism gave way to progressivism, Americans started to walk away.
The Missing Data Depot@data_depot

New YouGov report on American partisanship between 2007 and 2025 shows that with the one exception of college educated white men, every major demographic group in the US has become more Republican on balance over the last 20 years.

A shoplifter’s tale! This woman is being questioned by police because she was caught stealing Nike merchandise at a department store. Now she’s arguing with the officers, speaking rapidly and deflecting. Why are they always on the phone? She could have just given up the items at the beginning and not made such a scene. Parts 2 and 3 in comments below.

@nikitabier Wouldn’t it be a better approach to simply identify accounts that are misrepresenting who/where they are? If there’s a guy making insightful US political commentary openly from the side of a mountain in chile, I think his visibility should be a function of quality, not location.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.
