Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

This is code for “pathetic mediocre white people are mad a few black and brown people got new opportunities, and if we inhibit those white people’s racist bullshit, we’ll be guilty of discriminating against them.”

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

they bred out the characteristic of the pepper.

If you had any choice, why would you ever risk working as a doctor in this vindictive, irrational State?

Actually, this conservative meme is based on a (real) Talarico quote: “Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes — in fact, there are six.” www.texastribune.org/2026/03/12/j...

The Washington Post when handouts that could be going to Jeff Bezos are paying for free diapers instead

What’s funny/ironic about this incredible work is that it is actually peer reviewed. Unlike the scholarship of the vast vast majority of professors who created, nurtured, and foisted FedSoc on our legal institutions.

I am very pleased to have this op-ed about the Federalist Society out as of just now. Except that I would be more pleased if FedSoc did not exist. #LawSky

So. I know this is going to be a bit over inclusive. But. Damn, am I already DONE with this WaPo shitty-ass content:

here again we see this idea that american citizens do not have rights apart from what their states provide.

Is TN going to make him governor?

the head of liberty is protected by the foreskin of-- (i have been notified that i received four strikes for this post, and honestly? i agree)

I’m so sorry your bribes to the imperial son-in-law weren’t respected.

Theater people--start the day right! From MCC's 2026 Miscast, in which Broadway folks sing songs they could never get cast for, go to 1:26:30 and watch the great Brian Stokes Mitchell sing "Back to Before" from Ragtime and blow the minds of the other actors on stage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=feXE...

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

My 2 cents on the recent “social media sucks” discourse: lots of people say conservatives are “treated badly” here, but while there’s dogpiling (as everywhere online), here more than anywhere else their shallow arguments are likely to be instantly eviscerated. An unambiguous good.

If it’s a day ending in -y in 2026, it’s a good day to start with this brilliant song: youtu.be/LJ25-U3jNWM?...

i was hibernating when jamelle posted this great thread but agree with it completely tbh

If you think Bluesky sucks, you are not using it correctly. I have curated my feed to be full of DeliciousWeirdos™️ and KingShitposters™️ which means endless nerdiness (complimentary), bangers, and really insightful threads. Sorry you aren't having fun you aren't playing right. Try harder!

I had some thoughts about the broader context of the modern SCOTUS, why it's out of control, and what we can try and do about it.

Nobody is doing faux centrist fedsockism like Will Baude, truly a master of the form

Translation: John Roberts called me up and told me I needed to help fix his shattered reputation.

For all the talk of how Democrats aren't close enough to the mainstream, only Republicans act—consistently, through all of their members in every branch, federal and state—as if they know there is no chance they could hold power in anything resembling a free and fair election.

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Folks might remember Judge Traynor as the person who thought gender affirming surgery was being performed on transgender newborn infants. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

Another humble entry in the “Chicago is the most beautiful city on Earth” series.

Look, I don’t want to get cancelled here, but this whole “great rice > great bread” propaganda that’s flying around here today is so, SO wrong. Periodt.

White supremacists are too comfortable right now, especially at the elite level. Stop trying to be nice to them and understand them. Some of the Black state reps in Tennessee get it.

The idea of "overturning" or "repealing" the 14th Amendment was a pretty fringe proposition until recently, but it wasn't unheard of. Obviously the former Confederates wanted to do that. But it was also a white nationalist talking point in the Cold War era. This is 1988.

The Roberts Court has returned the country to the situation before the Second Reconstruction was codified in the 1960s civil rights legislation: Systematic racial discrimination intended to entrench white dominance based on facially neutral laws.

tbf Chicagoans are literally always saying this lol

The simplest long-run solution to the gerrymandering wars is a federal law expanding the House and electing members by proportional representation. Alabama has more Democratic voters than Hawaii. Massachusetts has more Trump voters than Mississippi. None of these voters deserve to go unrepresented.

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

@abigailspanberger.com now faces a career-defining moment. Is she a fighter or is she a folder? Does she have what it takes to do the right thing or is she going to retreat behind process and conservative legalism and give up?

just unbelievably spitting mad at this garbage fuck these people, rewrite all the rules and lock every one of these white supremacist assholes out of power forever

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

the Dems lying down without a fight in Virginia is insane. can’t blame that on purity testing or the squad or the radical left. That’s Virginia democrats, baby.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Fuck’s sake, that’s a mess of an “argument,” and lots of his voters are gonna scratch their chins and say, “wow, good point.”

Sammy Alito acting like a partisan fool, in disregard of factual accuracy? Well I never.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society
