I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

I strongly disagree with this

The person Matt quoted made me want to yell at them. Or hit them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper because no Marx fucking did not want that!

If you can't tell that five minutes after he's sworn in this guy is going to be standing next to Josh Hawley talking about how president trump is right on immigration and heroically fighting to save America from the Mud Races, I don't know what to say other than "You are not very perceptive."

I wish people would say white people when they mean white people instead of universalizing something we know isn't universal.

In both 2000 and 2016 the Dem won the popular vote. That means the party had sixteen years to put some back into institutional reforms and didn't. At a certain point, if you don't fight against the rigged game you aren't a mark but a mug and lefties don't have to shoulder the blame for your loses.

I love popcorn and berries. Everything is coming up Milhouse!

It's Jim Crow 2.0 resonates with me but I have family that suffered under the first version.

crime, like cinnamon rolls, is socially constructed. become ungovernable

Matter of fact, you pass UBI and you will never have to write another Cover Letter! Someone give me seven figures to consult this elected nerds.

I used to tell my students, who were almost always reflexively against UBI, that it'd take the bullets out of the gun. Imagine if employers had to make employment attractive? If they couldn't threaten you with hunger and homelessness? Or waste your time

Mark Zuckerberg lost a trillion dollars because his big Vision of the Future was 'Second Life: No Legs + Wal*Mart', that we are still afflicted with his "ideas" is the most incisive criticism of capitalism anyone can make

Watching some dudes break down and cook an Iberico pig while in an altered state was a bad idea. I just want everything they making and I can't have it! Also, someone make carnitas out of an Iberico shoulder and then give it to me, thanks.

No wokeness was a bullshit weaponization of black language against calls for black equality that white people accepted because it came from other white people. To the point, they treat the slur like the actual thing. It was just a ritual in white solidarity.

👇🎯 The simplest way to explain ~100% of Ezra Klein's (& the rest of the White Male Gen X/Elder Millennial pundits') views about anything related to the Democratic Party is to realize that he doesn't see Black voters & never has: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing

Support for American institutions decline when they no longer serve or appear to serve white supremacist ideologies. Republicans are a problem because they are the white identity party.

I actually do remember this because back when I watched Real Time (I was young and didn't know better) she was bitching about it and pretending, I assumed, not to see the issue or how she was being racist.

I want to talk about how junk science ruins innocent lives. The criminal legal system is overwhelmed by junk science. IT IS AN OUTRAGE. If you're not deeply disturbed by what's going on, I need you to pay close attention. Let me explain. 🧵/x

this is a great point. self righteous prigs are very rarely presented as heroic in hollywood films. but that really was william garrison, as near as I can tell. kind of Sumner too.

... I feel like I'm missing the joke or something

We should lower the voting age to 16 because no matter how you feel about the youth, none of them have voted multiple times for a pedophilic rapist. So, really, how much worse could they do?

This my favorite TT ever.

I wrote about Yglesias' attack on critical race theory, and why framing Black intellectuals as aggressive sneaky infiltrators threatening to murder innocent liberalism is pretty racist. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/yglesias-a...

this is some legit great journalism youtu.be/wwB3FmbcC88?...

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

In case you have never seen this.

I love stories like this, not bc I have any particular attachment to the specific new product, but rather bc it is a new tech that makes me say "oh neat!" or even "oh, interesting!" instead of "*sigh*"

People are showing more grace to the white guy who took 18 years to cover up racist tattoos than a Black woman who has been using her platform to fight inequality since she got here. This is #TheDoubleTax.

There is only one movie I hate more than RoS but it is the only movie that has ever made me exclaim in a theater, "That's bullshit!". God, what an awful movie.

Making it mandatory to win a boss battle I'll ultimately lose in a cut scene.

i guess i'm weird because i see this as an attempt to be accomedating. if you don't drink period, i never ask you again and plan accordingly, including activities where alcohol isn't involved. if you just abstaining for the night then i'll keep that in mind.

Did he also blow Bubba?

Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness is a prayer.

in just a year, the trump admin has pushed us into a recession, destroyed the air travel system, made multiple cities unsafe, murdered 600k ppl globally, and wrecked the white house. great idea giving this asshole a second chance here.

white people are never going to let go of that word

Farewell sweet Prince

don't trust a democrat that calls his own party the democrat party.

There's a joke about Kentucky windage, divine beings and the rule of three but I'm not going to make it

You do not always choose your mediums but when you accept them glorious things can happen.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

Yea, you gotta lie or whatever. Social prosperity dividend. Since people think they want government ran like a business, well you're s shareholder blah blah blah

t.co/nJVBgzTaNL this is really good and gets at the heart of some of my own views but more than anything, white pundits and elites often talk amongst themselves publicly but universalizing their language to appear inclusive. This Planter fiasco, they don't care how they look to nonwhites

Bill Maher's politics are he's on the side that feels the most rapey.

Yo! bsky.app/profile/rueb...

Watching several people torch their reputations for this newest big special boy has been revealing. I swear y'all can find another white man to say oligarch and medicare for all.

I think it should come with a name change because some people are dumb.
