Historian here this is literally about gutting the Reconstruction amendments especially the consequential 14th amendment piece by piece.

Chris Nolan has my teen grandkids reading Homer and Taylor Swift got them to read Hamlet. Not hating it. #TheOdyssey

The University of Chicago will provide free tuition to students of families earning less than $250,000 a year.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Someone, please, leak drafts of these studies 🤞 🙏🏻

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services releases new pulmonary treatment guidelines

Cystic fibrosis was once a devastating diagnosis for ~40K Americans. An incredible new film co-produced by @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social, @usatoday.com, & Des Moines Register looks at #HHMIInvestigator Emeriti Mike Welsh's pursuit of a groundbreaking treatment & the lives it saved: bit.ly/4cCkvOI.

The SECNAV is not a senior officer, has no operational role, does not issue orders. He was a rich, art-collector donor who probably got sideways with Hegseth by just not liking him. Stop looking for the Tom Clancy movie version of everything.

Mark & Hulio down by the school yard.

Paolo Zampolli, the modeling agent who allegedly introduced Melania to Trump in 1998, fathered Ungaro's child. They were engaged in an ugly custody battle. Zampolli leaned on ICE and his Trump connections to DEPORT Ungaro. Zampolli also allegedly represented Melania when she was a model...

Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

I just think Geno would look a lot prettier if he smiled more

For anyone up late and eager to be pissed off: Ohio Republicans have introduced a bill that would require every pregnancy to be registered with the state and given a "certificate of life" jessica.substack.com/p/ohio-gop-w...

Wow, that was rude. The audience thought so too! #Oscars #Golden

So if you are an actor, dating a half-sibling to Kim Kardashian, do you have to diss Taylor Swift's Grandmother? Is that how it works?

OK, hive brain, was that speech used in the Pfizer commercial (just shown during the #Oscars) from Any Given Sunday? It kind of sounded like Pacino.

Rest in power, Ms Doress. Our Bodies, Ourselves was foundational to my growth as a young woman. Blessings to your loved ones.

On this ides of March I am watching the #OscarAwards, which started rather early. And I'm watching a blizzard outside my windows. Global warming weather is bonkers.

RE: is Mullin any better than Noem? I guess he won’t be mile-high shtupping Cory Lewandowski on the fancy plane. Then again, who knows?

"why are you against progress" I yell confidently as my sloppily-implemented algorithms prematurely murder your grandma

The Benito effect... activity on Bluesky spiked 70% during the Super Bowl 👀

I did not understand that coffee (?) commentary turned Nike commercial.

"Most field goals in a game".

Finally! And looks like they narrowly avoided the record for longest time into the game before the 1st touchdown. #SuperBowl

They just said there has never been a shut-out at a Super Bowl. My question: has there ever been a no-touchdown Super Bowl (shut out or not)?

Have to say the prostate cancer ad, while it may promote a commercial lab test, is still the best one so far. A "finger free" test, so relax that tight end... 🤣

Jake who?

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Donald Trump has completed the first year of his term. Is it time for Democrats to admit their hysteria was much ado about nothing? by Bari Weiss

How sick is it to be promoted to Admiral and fired at the same time?

Hey @raygunsite.com I need an AWFUL-themed tee shirt.

Haiku, inspired by the news. I am affluent. Also white, female, urban. Liberal? You bet. I am an AWFUL. AWFUL-ly tired of this sh*t. Goddamned tired of it.

hmmmm.....

Trying to process the news, and stay sane. Driving to work this AM, I composed a Haiku to condense my theory of one top news story: Trump invades Greenland NATO expels U.S.A Hmm, Putin pee tape?

You see we can’t afford cancer research

what a shocking turn of events who could’ve seen this coming

#roseparade The Kaiser Permanente float is melting in the rain.

A forlorn toast to the things we lost in 2025. One of too many to count, even if we must try.

I think Cher is lip syncing.
