My thread of organizations working on problems I consider interesting.

@SinNomb54107159 @JNelsonLDF Yeah, they probably should not play cute language games with these people

@JNelsonLDF Holy fuck what an idiot. Tried to double talk the smartest people on earth. Love the smack down, moron.

BREAKING: SCOTUS just denied our motion to recall the judgment in Louisiana v. Callais, which the Court transmitted prematurely and in contravention of the procedural rules that typically affords litigants 25 days to request a rehearing of a case that was wrongly decided. 1/5

@StennerMax @trad_west_ Every car guy has a libertarian streak. They have watched the state strip the beauty from one of the greatest machines ever assembled

@trad_west_ Clarkson is a great voice for rural affairs but he is no traditionalist Christian conservative. He is a libertarian ‘don‘t tread on me’ style classical liberal.

>Be Jeremy Clarkson >Spend decades mocking the nanny state and bureaucracy on TV >Buys a farm and actually works it >Realize the government is destroying the working class and the food supply >Expose the insane government bureaucracy destroying British farmers >Becomes the face of the british farmers >Opportunity to become the modern-day Cincinnatus leaving the plow to save the Empire if he wants too >The Leader Britain actually needs His genius generates gravity, he might be able to save the UK.

@eigenrobot @PhillipsPOBrien "Scotland, Boston, and Sicily"...... One of the most untrustworthy possible combinations a person could have

The USA has not only ceased being leader of the free world, it has ceased being a member of the free world. It betrays democratic allies and supports expansionist dictatorships. The only question Americans need to ask themselves is do they want this to continue?

@CharlesPierceF1 @Heminator I am sure it is a witch hunt. But the SPLC deserves it for their activities in trying to suppress speech through pressure campaigns.

@johncalhoom @Heminator They did not misrepresent anything. It's a witch hunt by the shitty administration and the shitty people who support it - all of whom deserve destruction.

The SPLC literally opened up bank accounts in the name of fake photography businesses to pay people in hate groups -- it is absolute textbook financial fraud. The media attempts to make the case seem doubtful are pretty desperate.

@AltSutton @mtracey Iraq was a good decision

@mtracey More and more I believe Bush is a genuinely good guy who was misled and controlled.

I think George W. Bush was genuinely hurt when Kanye said he didn't care about black people. And then genuinely appreciated Kanye's apology

@CharlesPierceF1 @Heminator It is a crime to lie to the bank. The misrepresentation is the fraud.

@Heminator No, it's not fraud, because there are no restrictions on how they use donors' money - and most of us who support SPLC recognize the need to get insiders in the organizations to get the truth about their despicable activities. Trump is a piece of shit, and he can burn in hell.

@J_E_J_H @maxtempers If you want to learn what not to do

@maxtempers Much to be learn from New Zealand in general I think. Economic rationalism.

In 2025, New Zealand faced a comparable situation to our own. Equal pay claims were rampaging through the courts on similarly spurious "equal value" grounds, and taxpayers and companies were on the hook for payouts worth billions of dollars. What did they do? 🧵

@posted989 @DerekPederson3 You don't say anything and let local and state officials establish order if people riot. Or "We will wait for the results of the investigation"

@DerekPederson3 This is a very normal statement. Even if Obama knew Michael Brown was guilty, what is he supposed to say about that? “I’m glad he’s dead”? He isn’t Trump. If anything, he’s calling on BLM to not jump the gun and to do activism in a way “that heals”, not one “that wounds”.

I think one of my biggest difference with liberals is that Barack Obama handled Black Lives Matter extremely poorly and the result was inadvertently quite destructive to the country.

@MercuriusFilius Miles whatever

@MercuriusFilius 1000km.

How would you answer this common Goldman Sachs interview question?

@lil_caesar69 @PanicPolitics @daviddoel Yeah, they don't sell food

@johncalhoom @PanicPolitics @daviddoel The 3 largest oil companies in Canada made profits well over $10 billion dollars last year. They absolutely can lower it.

CTV: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them? Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.

@lil_caesar69 @PanicPolitics @daviddoel They make hardly any money. You cannot get it any lower

@PanicPolitics @daviddoel @johncalhoom It’s corporate greed. The government isn’t raising grocery prices, rent, gas, utilities, clothing, medicine, etc. You know who is? Corporations and their bootlicking pig lackeys

@ShineMo40710472 @cremieuxrecueil Congress can pass whatever it wants

@cremieuxrecueil It seems wrong to me that they can ban parts piecemeal, but Congress has to pass a bill intact, and the President can't just choose which pages to sign while vetoing others.

The nature of the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act decision today is interesting. They ruled to *keep* Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act–so states can't create absurd maps, like Illinois with snakes coming out of Chicago. They just banned the racial affirmative action part.

@lukeisamazing Imagine Euro's thinking they are qualified to judge sandwiches or the breads they are

Euro who thinks “yankee” is a slur that Americans find offensive is so cute. have you been frozen in ice since the interwar period?

@TheChaosWeeber Policies supporting economic growth are more important than all of these and he did not do well

"trudeau sucked at policy" Disability benefit child benefit dentalcare Childcare Carbon tax These are and were all great policies

@Alilaly2 @TheRocketRalph Yeah, those are commercially produced you fool. Not the real bread you are talking about

@johncalhoom @TheRocketRalph 🤷

europeans have a very “noble savage” view of americans because what do you mean you think bakeries don’t exist in grocery stores over here

@Alilaly2 @TheRocketRalph In Canada it is the norm to have real bread in every grocery store. In my experience this is true in large parts of the US as well. I can go to a regular grocery store and get freshly baked bread. Ciabatta, focaccia, sourdough, baguettes, and ten other varieties.

@TheRocketRalph This is what we mean, there might be some places where you can buy "real bread" but it is not the norm.

@AdmiralCaleo @dylanmatt You can for sure. Gonna need a basement though, or a big garage.

@dylanmatt You can raise 2 kids comfortably in a house that's 1000 sqft smaller than this!

@Keith1265565268 @rpondiscio They don't have to do that.

@rpondiscio He exploits his workers, the people that got you your items had to defecate in bags and pee in bottles to make sure you get your shit, workers have died in his warehouses, he engages in union busting tactics, he partners with the Trump Administration for benefits, etc. etc.

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?
