The NYT style guide

I actually could not be convinced to bomb a little girls' school under any circumstances

They're sitting in an air conditioned room on a $10 billion aircraft carrier, piloting a $30 million drone to drop a $5 million bomb on an elementary school. The only thing they're sacrificing is your money

God Sam Altman is such an evil boot licking cowardly little worm

Also this wouldn't have been a problem if Schumer had recruited literally any of the like 12 normal liberal Dems who are running for Governor and aren't anti-union cryptkeepers.

Why do you have to make my call with the president POLITICAL Stop inserting POLITICS into my party with the FBI Director My boys trip with the secretary of defense has nothing to do with POLITICS Since when is it POLITICAL to rub the vice presidents tummy and give him a little smooch

some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Today’s weather in Massachusetts is making me wonder why the pilgrims didn’t just say “actually no thanks on the whole new colony thing” after the first winter storm

I am starting to perhaps……. maybe…….. possibly………. wonder if the MAGA movement may not care about women’s sports as much as they claimed in the run-up to the 2024 election……… will need to conduct further research

Sir we all agree you can violate civil rights and start wars but we will not stand for you messing with the most important and sacred idea that protects every American citizen: the money

I’ve gotten good at knitting so I just restarted work on a blanket kit from @purlsoho.bsky.social that I assumed would be easier now that I’m more experienced. Nope, this pattern is for sickos, what do you MEAN a FINGERING WEIGHT blanket on size 3 needles?!?? It’s gorgeous but come on 😭 🧶

made fan art for my favourite horror movie

I was watching this while waiting for the doctor to come in at an appointment this morning and then when they did come in I had to explain why I was crying lol

there is also something very “i have never interacted with a human being” about the idea that you can pick and choose which rights you’re going to defend without any backlash within your coalition

I am investigating the judges in skiing big air. There is no way the Norwegian guy's flippies and spinnies were better than the American guy's flippies and spinnies. I'm furious

Again, all I'm asking is that any Democrat who wants my vote support 1. Reverting Trump's anti-trans policies, 2. Commit to fighting against the future erosion of trans rights, and 3. Support legislation codifying trans rights into law. Very weird how many of you centrists think that's unreasonable

It's so hard not to get doomerish about how the most simple ask of "civil rights should be a tent pole of democratic politics, actually" is constantly met with "but if we don't allow them to eradicate this vulnerable population they might come for me!"

You also won't be able to get people back in the fold if you spend three years saying that their civil rights and liberties are not important, and that they would be "fools" to not vote to make themselves 2nd class citizens.

if someone makes the cynical calculation that there are more swing voters to be won than trans or palestinian or whatever votes to be lost, they don’t also get to be indignant about those lost votes. that’s not how people or politics works!

This vote blue no matter who BS is really enraging considering Schumer DID NOT EVEN BACK THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR MAYOR IN HIS OWN CITY. And cuomo was not shamed out of running 3rd party when he lost the primary! Centrists are hypocritical clowns

Hey man, remember when folks in Michigan were talking about how their families were being slaughtered by bombs our country sold to Israel. Its was very important to them. In your head canon, is is morally reprehensible to refuse to vote for people who support the murder of your kin or nah?

idk man, if democratic primary voters want to once again nominate a candidate who has decided certain minority groups must be fed into the right wing woodchipper, then those same primary voters cannot complain when some members of those minority groups say no thanks. that’s the price of fascism-lite

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Good for her. It isn’t every day you get the chance to tell a SCOTUS justice that he’s full of shit.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

Congratulations to Brett Kavanaugh bsky.app/profile/ajco...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

It should be fairly clear by now that our ruling class is banking on an oligarchy hardening into place and all of them will do whatever depraved shit the admin asks for to have a seat when the music stops

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

I had missed the SCOTUSblog post about the “interim docket blog”; wanted to scream but it’s late; texted @jaywillis.net instead; & he let me know that, oh, yes, this has been discussed. I truly don’t understand how you just accede to Kavanaugh’s self-serving make-believe name for the shadow docket.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Yes. defector.com/the-conserva...

I think it's bad that the president is constantly saying things that would get you immediately removed from any work happy hour or neighborhood barbecue

Insanely stupid and short-sighted choice. I didn't even know they were still trying to run this racket. You put more universities in danger with this shit you idiots!

Announcing this not just on a Friday, but on the most holiday weekend of all Fridays, def shows how proud Northwestern’s admins must feel for caving in to bad faith attacks like this. And, in the process, leaving all universities that still have a spine in more vulnerable positions than before.

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime. Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

Our system actually has all sorts of ways to address the current crises that don’t require impossible things like Constitutional amendments. They require some work, some attention, sometimes a little outside-the-institutionalist-box thinking. But they are there. And we need to start making a list

Have you contacted your Democratic senators yet? Demand that your Democratic senators call on Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We need new leadership that will actually fight for us. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/dem-sen...

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

i was here in march so i’m obviously pleased to see so many others arriving at this same space

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
