Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

Another W for chicken fanciers from sea to shining sea. Together we can defeat big egg by decentralizing and decapitalizing our relationship with our bird friends.

"Edgar shares, "I've worked in the fields of Salinas for 20 years. Spent long hours bending my back, cutting and harvesting lettuce, cutting my hands, and pushing through pain to help put food on people’s tables." "Farmworkers are essential. We are not disposable." #WeFeedYou

This was correct in 2014, as was "Sotomayor & Kagan should immediately retire in Jan 2021," as was "Thurgood Marshall should have retired in 1978" etc. Pretending Justices were irreplaceable geniuses instead of aging partisan votes in a 9-member super-legislature has been Democrats' fatal error.

If you didn’t know, former @sciam.bsky.social owner Springer Nature sold us just three days ahead of the tally of the vote to unionize. It resulted in layoffs, including 60% of the union’s organizing committee. We’re out here to fight, to keep doing vital science journalism.

House votes to disclose which members settled sexual misconduct allegations with taxpayer funds

junk mail is really weird because I'm pretty sure that if I paid someone to leave trash at somebody's house I would get in trouble

happy Possible Schism Eve to all who celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be great if the actual left got in DSA and participated in this instead of counting themselves out and siloing themselves :)

This tracks with the noises i’ve been hearing. The street teams were BUSY

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: Iran will not enter further negotiations until conditions in the MOU are met. If they refuse to implement what was discussed, we are also prepared for war.

There were conservative Slate readers who promised me, during Trump's first presidency when I was beginning to see where things were going and just starting to raise the alarm, that if trans people ever became a target they'd fight by my side. Now they're all anti-trans cranks.

I don't think this theory came from the left so much as from the neoliberal center when it could not line up its generally benevolent perception of the state with the actions it saw the state undertaking.

Cool that James Madison envisioned everyone having a rocket launcher but the authors of the 14th amendment explicitly stating their intentions doesn't count for some reason.

The fundamental problem we face is that if a single Justice had changed their vote today and stripped citizenship from millions of people in violation of 150 years of black-letter constitutional law, virtually everybody with power and influence in this country would believe that be legitimate.

There’s really no alternative to court-packing. Being utterly reliant on Roberts plus whichever one of Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or (most frequently) Barrett is least brain-poisoned on a particular issue is a recipe for disaster and lawless, arbitrary tyranny.

i mean if the pope is gonna be excommunicating a bunch of guys tomorrow anyway, why not put some more names on the list. c’mon. as a treat, holy father. it would be fun and funny.

substack.com/@beinglibera.... Let’s see how this pans out. 🤨

“Humanity is frying itself alive but refuses to turn the stove off, because the fumes smell quite tasty. This is how I would summarize our collective cognitive blackout. Stupidity has won” My new article

Of course, no educated individual would ever suggest that the U.S. is a functioning democracy any longer. You’d have to look at North Korea to see a nation as indescribably corrupt as America.

UNFUN FACT: The 2026 FIFA World Cup features 48 teams co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Of the 48 participating nations, the United States is the only one without a universal health care system.

Liking Mayor Pete Buttigieg 👍🏼.....

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

It's almost as if... scientists were right about C͟l͟i͟m͟a͟t͟e͟ C͟h͟a͟n͟g͟e͟...

I remember North Carolina having to back off its bathroom bill after a concerted pushback and its been wild to witness the wholesale abandonment since.

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

The Iran war has cost Americans roughly $1,000 per household in higher fuel, food, and other expenses since February 28, according to Moody's. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

DSA was a pro-Israel to the hilt organization until 2017

As I have repeatedly said over and over, occupation breeds resistance. Why would it not be true in Syria too? A lot of the people on here who talk about a Syria Test have conspicuously been silent about Israel's decades-long occupation of the Golan and the new invasion and occupation since 2024.

Interesting to see that the new Texas Democratic Party's platform -Recognizes the Nakba -Calls for dismantling all settlements in East Jerusalem & WB -Calls on Dem members of Congress to support the Block The Bombs and Justice for Hind Rajab Acts -Supports offensive weapons embargo -Condemns AIPAC

this never happened with Beto. this race is a statistical tie with a shrinking number of undecideds.

2 more thoughts on birthright: 1. The movement to overturn Roe and Humphrey's Executor was built over decades. It took an enormous amount of effort to manufacture that sense of scholarly viability (see: Teles, Hollis-Brusky). The right got 5-4 on birthright with a sloppy last-minute scramble

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

godspeed, my dudes.

constitutional birthright citizenship survives by 1 vote. and to think people were worried about this beautiful institution.

This guy is so full of shit

WATCH — Trump’s budget guy @russvought claims cutting billions in US AID didn’t cause many deaths of children (it definitely did) 😳 and calls it “slander” that @RepMarkPocan called him a “Christian nationalist” even after he wrote articles defending it 🤔

me talking to magically resurrected founding father: and so sir you can see how the supreme court has become a deeply illegitimate institution that threatens the very republic you created founding father: there are *how many* papists on it???

MUST BE NICE

5-4 on maybe the most straightforward question ever put to the test in postwar history is genuinely an abomination. Destroy the Court.

Imagine asking someone unfamiliar with the cases to read this side-by-side with Masterpiece Cakeshop & predict in which case the statements by official decisionmakers were sufficient to make the govt action invalid because of animus.

Paris, the capital of France, has recorded more days above 40°C this week than during the 147-year period spanning from 1872 to 2019. Historic is an understatement.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

CEO of Toyota just announced their solid state EV battery, with an 1100 mile range, that does not use LITHIUM! This is epic 😏

oh. damn.
