If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

If you are so paralyzed by an indecision that you need a chatbot to tell you what coffee drink to order, you probably need to check into a rehab. Also we’re gonna need a rehab for chatbot addiction. Where you have to like relearn colors and how to do laundry.

it'll be back in three days

Apparently DHS is handing out these awards to some of the people who participated in Operation Metro Surge here in Minnesota. Absolute lunatic behavior.

Excellent. I literally just taught my US History survey class where I give them two halves of King's 1963 MOW speech (unattributed) and ask who they think gave the second speech. <insert Pam from The Office meme: "they're the same speech">

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

remember those other branches of government

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Abraham Lincoln's Aug 1855 letter to his friend Joshua Speed is famous - mostly, for his pointed comments about the dissolution of the 2d party system and the hypocrisy of pro-slavery and anti-immigrant sentiment in the US. But it's worth reading for another reason his well...

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Kevin Kruse out here quoting the Coup is everything I needed today

guys we HAVE to get rid of DEI. it’s about FAIRNESS

Is AI a good thing?

I am 100% serious when I say that Harvard's response to this rambling bullshit should simply be this classic:

So here’s the thing. Do what he says. Look at “the details of it, the signings of it.” Meaning the Citizenship Clause. You will see that it is not just about slavery. You will see Reconstruction Republicans saying again and again than the children of foreign nationals are birthright citizens.

I mean we’re all living in Fyre Festival 2

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

May I introduce you to the financial panic of 1873? 1893? 1907? The counter-revolution that ended Reconstruction? The introduction of Jim Crow segregation? The "Mississippi Plan" of 1890? The Populist revolt? The first nationwide strike on the railroads in 1877? Pullmans strike? Homestead?

@ditzkoff.bsky.social From now on in every White House Chat:

somehow ”trump is god emperor and if he wills it it will occur” is a belief that is shared across the political spectrum
