jq adams was sworn in on a book of constitutional law, some of which he'd helped write, so i say yes.

Yep — and Keith Ellison was sworn in on Jefferson’s copy of the Quran, no less!

I’m sure this will go over well with his fanbase

I took my oath on George Mike's book, How to be an Alien

For the record, Kash Patel took his oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita. Guess that means the FBI is illegitimate.

Everyone’s flipping out about Mamdani taking his oath by swearing on the Quran. In 2006, Keith Ellison did the same; Glenn Beck asked him “prove to me you aren’t working for our enemies.” I showed that clip to students back in 2010, who were APPALLED. How far we’ve fallen in the last 15 years.

I may not be a liberal, but I’m sure as hell not a conservative, and — I’d bet my entire bank account that I have far more experience in war zones than both of these guys, combined. (No clue why the image failed to attach the first time!)

short thread on the Homeland Security Twitter’s use of literal fascist, accelerationist, and Neo-Nazi Telegram propaganda, aesthetics, and memes — incoming

Wake up, America. We’re here.

Derek Black is the son of Don Black, the Klan leader who founded Stormfront — the largest white supremacist hate site online for some 20 years. Derek broke from the ideology he was raised to serve as a mouthpiece for, and wrote these horrifyingly prescient words on the movement’s goals:

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

Carolyne Leavitt’s postscript, tomorrow: “Jesus Christ is the reason for the season and President Trump made that perfectly clear. If you didn’t see Christ’s name in that post, your eyes are Trans Antifa Terrorists.”

“Merry Christmas I’m not a pedophile everyone is out to get me I dumped Jeffrey Epstein he didn’t break up with me I’m super for real not a Baby Rapist the media lies This Is The Last Christmas You Will Ever Have so be scared I’m not a pedophile Democrats are evil” TOTALLY FUCKING NORMAL

I’d bet my entire bank account Hunter would identify me as either “weird looking white” or, like so many before him, ask if I’m half Japanese and wearing colored contacts because he can’t tell what Indigenous-European mixed ancestry looks like (‘small eyes so Asian’ - yes, I’ve actually gotten that)

“If race is socially constructed, how come I’m a racist? Checkmate, libs.”

Listen, Hunter - believe it or not I can tell when you did the assignment smoking a joint you rolled out of pages torn from a thesaurus while watching YouTube philosophy videos about Baudrillard and Deleuze that you didn’t understand, likely because of all the PBR you drank beforehand.

This is why I routinely tell students: “Never write to ‘sound smart’ because you’ll embarrass yourself and I will laugh at you. Write to sound clear.”

This first paragraph is amazing for many reasons but my favorite part is the absurdly awkward writing: ‘I knew race wasn’t a social construct in college cause my progressivism means I automatically knew that idea was crazy and my DNA X-ray vision is mostly correct so in conclusion race exists.”

The holidays are so, so rough.

there’s nothing I’d take to my grave by any means necessary more than the idea that I’m responsible for what Alex Jones thinks about anything

what a time to be alive

“Will Donald Trump Survive This?” The man is basically a Teflon-covered cockroach inside a Twinkie wrapped in Kevlar, so you tell me.

There are 3 more ring videos from her neighbors that her husband is sending me - running an errand and will post when I get home. Thank you! ❤️

Atlanta peeps, do you recognize this car or people?

Holy shit. Hey, @kathryntewson.bsky.social @kateration.bsky.social @debbiemia.bsky.social we have an important sleuthing request here. Link to video in the next post Anyone else who does OSINT work, please jump on this

I guess you missed the photo attached to the post you’re responding to — the one of her “peacefully protesting against genocide” by sitting on the ground and holding a piece of cardboard with words about that criminalized group to which she doesn’t even belong.

She’s stubborn as fuck and won’t let us do a GFM (yet - I plan on setting one up anyway for her next treatment round). But a friend did make this Meal Train: bsky.app/profile/msen... Thank you so much for asking, and for caring - means the world to me. ❤️

This is so messed up. Atlanta peeps: recognize anyone in the Ring footage?

Internet sleuths, go to work:

Tried to post this on the Atlanta subreddit for max visibility but got banned for “doxing / staking.” Unfuckingreal.

I’m begging for help here - please share: Yesterday my bestie, Mom of 10 year old twins and survivor of thyroid cancer, underwent a double mastectomy for a new diagnosis of breast cancer. While she was in surgery, these assholes stole CANCER CARE PACKAGES off her front porch. 1/2

I hate this news, but I’m sharing bc I’d love for one of the most important people in my life to get even 1/100 as much love and support as she deserves. If you can help, please do. She’s as responsible for me existing and doing what I do as anyone on earth. www.mealtrain.com/trains/14r82...

Greta Thunberg was just arrested in the Uk on terrorism charges — for displaying the words “I support Palestine Action Prisoners. I oppose genocide.” Get ready, America. NSPM-7 is already being implemented here. Perhaps you should Google that.

hello yes all I want for Christmas mahoganymommies.com/collections/...

Logging off for tonight to focus on all the love and good vibes this bitch deserves

I didn't believe that Erika Kirk fucked JD Vance until I saw this exchange.

“Nicki Minaj has a heart for the lord” — Erika Kirk

Nicki Minaj: “Young men have amazing role models like… The Assassin, JD Vance, our vice president… mhm.” -Nicki Minaj Erika Kirk: “Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun.” WHAT IN THE FENTANYL LACED KETAMINE IS THIS DIALOGUE

who put this LSD in my coffee

‪This woman has been one of the most consistent cheerleaders, constant voices of reason, sources of comfort, and most caring, fucking hilarious humans I’ve ever been blessed to know. ‬ ‪I don’t deserve her but I’m so grateful she’s here — and I’ll give anything to keep her here. ‬

That’s the legalistic argument. It blew up in Hollande’s face something fierce way back when. The ethical arguments are also important, and for the tactical arguments you should refer to @msentropy.bsky.social’s excellent and lengthy old Shamima Begum thread which is… somewhere probably
