this is horrifying; note all the whooping right on laughter; and the sub- moronic level of her commentary dorsn't make it any better
Hitler youth alive and well in 2025.
not good
🚨 NEA ERASES JEWS FROM THE HOLOCAUST 🚨 The National Education Association — the biggest teachers’ union in America — just rewrote history in its 2025 handbook. 🚨 Calls the Holocaust “12 million victims from different faiths” — NO mention of Jews. 🚨 Claims Israel was founded…
Fabulous letter from the great Deborah Moggach in today’s Times.
They were asked what nationality they were and they said French. The police said there was a rumour that they might be Israeli, and were removed from the flight. The Dreyfus Affair on a plane in 2025
This is disgraceful. Djt’s personal defense atty has no business interviewing a witness who may implicate his client/boss. Obviously a corrupt deal to trade false exculpatory testimony for a sweetheart deal. We see you.
Hitler youth alive and well in 2025.
“What do you guys think about Hitler?” Listen to the answers here It’s unbelievable that this is the level of rhetoric in 2025 But here we are Note this is @MyronGainesX’s podcast
We don't speak enough about Lamela scoring TWO rabonas for us.

Just 40 days ago, Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by an unhinged Trump supporter and the story has basically already vanished from the national consciousness. DO NOT LET IT.
Birds a ( stunning) short story not a novel and the greatest adaptation of a du Maurier story was Nic Roeg's Don't Look Now. She is though one of England's greatest writers and is bizarrely underrated and underread
The extravagant Daphne du Maurier, author of classic novels like Rebecca and The Birds, inspired Alfred Hitchcock to create two timeless films based on her works.
“We’ve never been that afraid. We just wanted to enjoy a night out — and suddenly people with knives were running at us.” A group of Israeli teens were chased and beaten in Rhodes by a knife-wielding pro-Palestinian mob. Last night, a group of 17-year-old Israelis went out to a…
A photograph by Félix Thiollier (c. 1899)—quite possibly my favourite photograph of all time
The entire State Dept office of multilateral nuclear affairs was dismissed last week, Alexandra Bell tells @CFR_org. “These were people responsible for efforts to ban explosive nuclear testing, the production of weapons grade material, people working on nuclear disarmament…
This is a really disturbing. A person detained in the Everglades was handcuffed and left outdoors in the sun as punishment for attempting to go on a hunger strike. As mosquitoes swarmed him, he pleaded with guards to bring him inside and was kept outside for nearly three hours.
One of the signature features of life under the Trump regime is a constant sandstorm of casual lies and destabilizing ambiguity. With the end of Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show,” the public will lose one of its last pipelines to the truth. nyer.cm/LF9ow9U

Stephen Colbert's wit and wisdom will be greatly missed among the late night voices. #ResistTrump
