Milo’s enemies on the right are gloating about him ending up in ICE custody in what looks like an instance of the federal government being weaponized to settle petty scores. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his rivals on the right would cheer if he were mistreated or killed.

Meanwhile, people outside of the right who have no love for Milo are defending him. This is the fundamental difference between the right and its critics.

The right sees everything through the Schmittian friend/enemy distinction. You’ll get laughed at for suggesting that it is possible to even exist outside that framework. And yet here are a bunch of people who have absolutely no reason to defend Milo doing just that on principle. They could apply the friend/enemy thing, like the right, but they don’t. That is why any society, any culture, any regime controlled by the right will inevitably be more corrupt and unjust. Its critics are simply more civilized and have a better claim to the moral high ground.

@flatland_sports Lol, they kicked out Rice.

JUST IN: The Trump administration sent a man with torture protection back to Nigeria, where an immigration judge found he had previously been tortured by Boko Haram. He's now in hiding in Togo and has contracted malaria, per his lawyers.

Judge is demanding details on steps the administration is taking to return the man to the U.S. https://t.co/By7q3hoYad

Sophie Cunningham being vocal about not wanting trans women in the WNBA bc they’re “biological men,“ then being publicly silent when two actual male players declare for the WNBA draft, feels like a metaphor

Republicans lost their fucking minds when allegations emerged of Somali-American healthcare fraud in MN - but when Ron DeSantis & his wife stole $10M of taxpayer money meant for poor children’s healthcare & Ron rewarded his accomplices with promotions - the silence is deafening.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Those people who didn't STFU about harassing Tim Walz over "Somalian fraud" sure are REAL FUCKING QUIET about Ron DeSantis stealing 10,000,000 from poor kids to defeat the vote to legalize weed.

I don’t particularly care that a lot of Gen Z isn’t having sex. Reducing teen pregnancy and STD rates was always the goal, so that’s a positive outcome. I am, however, deeply concerned about how Gen Z seems to view sex. It’s bordering on puritanical. Anyone know why?

The President’s son is telling Republican state attorneys not to go after the companies he’s heavily invested in, and is a paid strategic adviser of.

This is what corruption, and profiting from the presidency looks like.

The women couldn’t afford to quit after she was attacked, so she spent 2 more years on that ship until she had to take leave to heal from the trauma — UNPAID LEAVE.

Her rapist was put on leave — PAID LEAVE.

Sick of the fucking world we live in rn.

New reporting from ProPublica just exposed that Pete Hegseth polled top military commanders on cutting the program that protects civilians from military strikes.

Every single one wanted to keep the program, but Hegseth gutted it anyway for being too “woke.”

What followed was a U.S. strike in Yemen that a Pentagon review confirmed killed 153 civilians.

On day one of Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran, another strike hit an Iranian primary school and killed up to 168 people. Central Command itself warned that these cuts would mean “increased risk of target misidentification,” but Hegseth ignored them. 

These are the consequences of having the greatest military in the world in the hands of the most incompetent SecDef in American history.

Grand jury finds DeSantis administration "misappropriated" $10 million meant for health insurance for low income children and steered it to political action committees. It also concluded that Ashley Moody, who was attorney general, was aware of this.

@humphreezius I work at an addiction rehab clinic and I’ve isolated Bubbles’ entire character arc on YouTube clips to show my clients. It’s honestly one of the most effective process groups I run.

[The Editorial Board @johnastoehr]

“Real Americans” (ie, white farmers) are transparently asking to be rescued from the dire consequences of their terrible choices by their savior, but instead of being held accountable for them, as anyone who is not white most certainly would be, they are portrayed as victims of circumstances to be pitied, not condemned.

The CIA Director went to Russia to beg for help with the denuclearization of Iran only for Iran and Russia to sign an agreement to build new nuclear power plants the next day.
