@AnnCoulter @MrAndyNgo Shocking but not surprising in the current 'anti-racist' climate.

I spent a decade working in progressive politics. They all talk like this behind the scenes.

Eventually, I came to the conclusion they were morally unfit to hold any power whatsoever.

Victoria fled Venezuela 6 years ago. Today she had to explain to American socialists who are protesting Trump why Maduro & Socialism is bad. Let that sink in for a moment.

San Juan, Puerto Rico (Jan. 3) — An angry Venezuelan mother and her teen son confront leftists protesting in support of the Venezuelan Maduro regime. Leftists across the world have been raging over the arrest of Maduro but Venezuelans are celebrating

[Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter]

Why would any country do this to itself?

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

“We’ve really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.”

In resurfaced videos, Cea Weaver, a cabinet member of mayor Mamdani’s admin, says it is her goal to end private property ownership & that whites will deal with the impact

[Dr. Richard Tayson @RTaysonWriter]

As usual @MSNOWNews confuses its viewers. 1st it has a woman from Spain praising @realDonaldTrump admin for liberating Venezuela and the very next clip is of Americans holding up signs USA Hands Off Venezuela. Network name change doesn’t equate to unambiguous coverage

@JessicaMcb29171 @MensJournal The article you wrote about Brigitte Bardot in Men's Journal has a major flaw. "Nicolas-Jacques Charrier wrote a book in response to Bardot’s memoir," you state. He didn't write the book, his father, Jacques, did. That paragraph makes zero sense.

That night, she showed up at Fez in the East Village for John Kelly’s “Paved in Paradise." I sat a few feet away from her. After John as Joni did his show--she cried at one point because the songs were so gorgeous--she came onstage and then gave him a dulcimer backstage.

A little “Just Like This Train” stripped down for your Tuesday.

The Atlantic, November 1960:

An account of the “epic human tragedy” that unfolded when Allied troops landed on the shores of Normandy on D-Day

@DeAngelisCorey According to FIRE: "Thankfully, its sponsors stripped all three provisions — misgendering, deadnaming, custody — out before the state senate approved the bill this week." https://t.co/tW5Ec4lUmt

"this is an age that judges everybody so harshly through the lens of identity politics...Everyone has to be the same...& if you refuse to join the chorus of approval you will be tagged a racist or a misogynist. This is what happens to a culture when it no longer cares about art."

Trump saved us from having to wear our pronouns on signs around our necks—the 21st century Albatross.

[Dr. Richard Tayson @RTaysonWriter]

White male privilege? Couldn’t afford an apartment in Manhattan, didn’t drive a car for 30 years, couldn’t afford kids. Next person who tells me I’m privileged is going to get pissed on.

@bourne_beth2345 How demoralizing for female athletes everywhere

[Dr. Richard Tayson @RTaysonWriter]

Some years ago I was walking down McDougall Street mindlessly singing Freeze Tag when a young woman bounded down the steps and started singing with me. We both knew every word, and it felt like I was at the right place at the right time.

It’s here! My new album Flying with Angels is finally out now🪽
This is my first studio album of new songs in 11 years, and I’m so happy I finally get to share it with you. Thank you for all the love on my self-titled debut—it’s been beautiful reading your special memories and how much it still means to you♥️
This new one means a lot to me, and it feels especially meaningful arriving 40 years after my first. I hope it finds a place with you too🌹

You can listen to my 10th studio album, Flying with Angels, and get your own copy on CD or Red Vinyl now🙌🏻💿💋

Why are news outlets reluctant to inform the public about the immigration status of people who commit heinous crimes? What the @nytimes omits is that (according to @nypost) Rojas has "passport from another country” and "is a Mexican national." https://t.co/sZuHkXzhYd

At least they could scrounge up one white male poet for the Brooklyn #poets Festival. Thank goodness #DEI exists so everyone--even a token #whiteboy--can be represented. #poetrycommunity #poetrylove #poetryeverywhere #poetrylife
