That’s terrible! Is the crossing okay?!
To make this more than a joke reply I’ll say that military units guarding entry into illegally occupied territory sound like legitimate targets, and that is before accounting for the mass abductions and ramping up for further settlement construction that is ongoing.
May the IED’s memory be a blessing!
A few people have already pointed this out in the replies, here is the quoted bit, then he sets up for a cutaway to the awesome Trump appearance on Fox and Friends where he’s bragging about the new ballroom
Kimmel - “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”
Like okay, taken in the absolute least charitable way, and Kimmel is saying Robinson is MAGA? But I think a reasonable interpretation is that he’s saying exactly what we witnessed, Republicans scrambling to try to pin Robinson’s identity as … anything other than one of them.
Yeah the dissolution of community is a big part. I remember when Sister Hillary had a book titled “It Takes a Village” and people were roasting her, but the people lambasting her grew up with that extended support! They might even talk about how it used to be that way!, and then not make the connection that losing that informal extended support is a factor in people having fewer kids or having kids later.
Something else that I think disrupts this is the expectation that people will have to move away from their home towns and families to become established economically. And even have to pick up stakes and make significant moves every few years to maintain their standard of living through moving for jobs. Capitalism has uprooted people and now the upshot is that people aren’t reproducing the workers, this is not complicated to savvy.
The people I know with kids started families in their 30s when they had 2 partners with PMC jobs and lived near grandparents or other extended family. The boomers were able to have kids in their 20s and buy a house with one full time income. Shit is totally unsustainable.
Not only that, but if you go to a twitter page the posts are not in chronological order. Xcancel.com gang stays winning.
Smarter people than myself have pointed out that porn bans often accidentally-on-purpose ban LGBT content as well, but this is a new meta. Like how Nancy Mace was throwing around the T-slur or whoever that based Latina congresswoman was doing in her crossfit campaign ads.
Agree, the morning hours caught me too generous, I will harden my heart lol.
they also don’t see fascist policy as either fascist or a bad thing.
Yeah, austerity budgets, anti-LGBT, anti-homeless policies … iM OnLy AgAiNsT iLlEgAliMmIgRaNtS … all fash policies that the supporters get surprised to be labeled thus for supporting. And to not seeing it is a bad thing, I suppose they get very defensive trying to avoid that label but only see it as a slur or a smear applied to them and not a real descriptor of policies.
- Dems are cowards so I can’t say ‘this will push them into action!’ but I’d anticipate opposition to this.
- Def a sprinkling of the frontier turning inwards as we restrict freedom of movement for opponents of the regime
- I don’t see this having popular support [since when does that matter?]. Maybe I am being too generous but the Republican voters, despite being braying hogs, don’t see themselves as Nazis and having the sec state pull folks’ passports for speech is a little on the nose. So this overtly fascist policy might create some friction with the conservatives who broadly - in my estimation and I may be wrong - are allergic to seeing themselves as fascist.
- This is a good indication of what I’ve noticed in the past two years of
Israel’s war against Hamasgenocidal Zionist campaign to eliminate and displace the Palestinians, which is existential to the settler-colony’s very being. We in the West had almost just barely gotten out of the GWOT era framing of things and the establishment crackdown on genocide resistance really allows our leadership to get the band back together and play the old hits such as anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia and saying everything they don’t like is terrorism. - Hat tip to whoever it was on here that mentioned you can bypass a paywall on desktop by putting the article in reader mode.
No no you don’t understand, we heard the same rumor 6 times and they all heard it from the same source, so we are very serious journalists who can report we’re hearing it from multiple sources.
I’m not even dismissing that the roommate could’ve known more than they should’ve, but the way the fuzz is trying to make this fit a narrative is so obvious and so heinously directed at scapegoating a GSM group, it’s appaling.
Also the bit about going after other leftist groups, yeah freakin’ right, the powers that be would love it that were the case, but no freakin’ shot.
I used xcancel as a front end to browse X.com the everything app without an account, follow has a specific meaning in-app, can i really be said to follow anyone?
But hey, how was it she was brought up in this thread again? Anyway, I’ll watch my act.
Yyoooo I have only been familiar with her twitter for a little while I didn’t know she kept that thang on her. SKS is a nifty 'lil carbine, it would be fun to have but they’re expensive enough to compare to a mOdErN sPoRtInG rIfLe so it’s hard to make the case. Her bulge posting yesterday was absolutely out of pocket, true queen shit.
Thank you, it did not occur to me to contextualize this and I couldn’t have said it half as well as you. I saw the data they were pulling from would likely be making wild conflations between receiving the vaccine and any symptoms that happened after, that they might be double-counting because “Reports can be submitted by anyone and no effort is made to verify the details or prevent duplication” (lol), and they’d be cherry picking like all hell. But I did not even consider that were the worst of their anti-vaxxers claims true here, we’d still be looking at a successful intervention in terms of deaths and disease prevented.
That rolls off the tongue better and if you were feeling diabolical you could likely antagonize some folks with that. “Kirk was tragically struck down by an assassin’s buwullet” with more or less emphasis on the pronunciation depending on how much plausible deniability you wish to pretend.
Hadn’t seen this here yet, I think it is newsworthy. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/moderna-falls-trump-officials-tie-155222738.html
(Bloomberg) – Vaccine makers’ shares fell after a report that Trump health officials plan to link Covid shots to the deaths of around two dozen children in a presentation to advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention next week.
The Washington Post reported Friday that a group of health officials appear to have used the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, to tie the deaths of 25 children to Covid vaccines. A high-profile advisory committee that Kennedy revamped to include vaccine critics is scheduled to discuss the shots from companies including Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc. and BioNTech SE at its meeting next week.

Moderna shares dropped as much as 8.7% during trading in New York Friday. Pfizer shares fell as much as 3.6%. BioNTech’s US-traded shares sank as much as 14%.
Covid vaccines have become a political flash point in recent weeks as conflict between Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former CDC director Susan Monarez led to her ouster just weeks into her job. Kennedy has previously claimed that the shots crafted during President Donald Trump’s first administration — largely credited with saving millions of lives during the pandemic — cause deadly complications, despite rigorous studies involving millions of people that found serious side effects are rare.
VAERS collects copious amounts of unfiltered data in an effort to detect early signs of side effects. Reports can be submitted by anyone and no effort is made to verify the details or prevent duplication, a format that scientific researchers said makes it difficult to draw clear conclusions.
“FDA and CDC staff routinely analyze VAERS and other safety monitoring data, and those reviews are being shared publicly through the established ACIP process,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said, referring to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Pfizer could not immediately be reached for comment. BioNTech did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a statement, Moderna said the safety of its Covid vaccine, Spikevax, is “rigorously monitored” by the company, the FDA and regulators in more than 90 countries. Safety monitoring systems have not identified any new or undisclosed safety concerns in children or in pregnant women, the company said, adding that research “continues to demonstrate a favorable risk–benefit profile for Spikevax.”
A 2022 Lancet study of heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults who received messenger RNA Covid-19 vaccines found no known deaths, with most patients recovering within 90 days.
The Data System
The Food and Drug Administration had already indicated it was investigating reports of children dying due to the Covid vaccine.
“There have been children that have died from the Covid vaccine,” FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper earlier this month. “We’re doing a proper investigation. We’re going to release a report in the coming few weeks.”
Patients, health-care providers, caregivers and companies are encouraged to notify the agency about adverse events following immunization, “even if they are not sure the vaccine caused the problem,” according to the CDC, which manages the VAERS database with the FDA.
Yet VAERS warns that some of these reports “represent true vaccine reactions and others are coincidental adverse health events and not related to vaccination,” according to its fact sheet. “Overall, a causal relationship cannot be established using information from VAERS report alone.”
For 2021 alone, there were more than 11,000 reports of deaths. While many mentioned Covid shots, it’s impossible to know from the database alone if they stemmed from the shots. Many of the submissions detailed “breakthrough” Covid infections, the ones that happened after a patient was vaccinated. This makes it possible that the virus — not the shot — was deadly.
Even Kennedy has raised concerns about the system’s reliability. “It’s outrageous that we don’t have a surveillance system that functions,” he said at an event in Indiana in April.
Kennedy has long said that the government should focus more on vaccine injuries. Before taking office, he made money connecting people with claims of vaccine harm to a law firm that sued manufacturers. More recently, his allies in Congress have hosted hearings featuring people who said their family members experienced vaccine injuries.
The Washington Post report came as the as the CDC reported that Covid hospitalization rates are peaking nationwide. The virus has contributed to more than 15,000 deaths in 2025 through the first week of September, according to the agency.

Bruh they are trying to kill us. Also without looking up any of the cranks RFK Jr has brought into the CDC, I am getting the vibe that these must be people who really believe their own line of BS.
Getting got by the .30-OwO-06 is objectively funny aaaand POST
Truly awful stuff. The anti-ICE actions back in June included protests, yes, but also were uprisings by a community defending itself from an occupying force.
Edit: I wrote then deleted this part, but what I said was: Recently near me ICE snatched up a man right after he dropped his kids off at school, then a few days later while people were still protesting they swooped back in and snatched some day laborers in the same neighborhood. And that this is hardly identifying information to be because our gestapo operates so widely!
These kind of high-handed tactics only work against a passive population, and both the spontaneous & organized resistance is successful in preventing ICE from doing what they’re trying to do.
