why call it a brief thread on soviet fonts when we could call it the short shrift?

Trump's secret police vandalize houses and cars, assault citizens, fire potential lethal weapons for the hell of it, and assault children, often as sexual predators... and claim impunity for all of this. CATO proposes the fix. In the meantime it's essential to document all these crimes rigorously.

PROSECUTION'S CASE COULDN'T SURVIVE DEFENSE'S INCISIVE, COLD CUTS

(nobody has ever been able to produce something like this about 2020 in the US, for the record)

Will be offering punny commentary as the process unfolds. As a jury cannot reprise its roll, if there's a mistrial, a new one will have to be seeded.

you mean DELI-berate. it's right there!

In the criminal justice system, sandwich-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Washington DC, the dedicated detectives who investigate these delicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Sandwich Victims Unit. These are their stories. 🔔 DUN DUN 🔔

i have no faith that republicans would actually support a national comprise that actually fixed malapportionment in the house

the difficulty with reforming anti-democratic institutions is that these institutions can sustain themselves without popular legitimacy.

An amazing story of this decade was the ADL turning all its fire on Israel critics while tech companies dismantled their censors and Hitler-lovers came roaring back.

the only animal that poops cubes, by the way

do we actually need to ask whether putin will bloviate about outlandish historical grievances?

i'm not here a ton, but if any of you are in #philly (or want to come down!) on 11/1, i host a pun off. friends have told me things like "we came to support you, but it was actually a fun event". ringing endorsements, people!

we continue to hurtle towards disintegration. if you're a net donor to a union for which, in exchange, you have no protections and are systematically underrepresented, what's the point of staying in that union?

drives at one of my hobby horse items that state boundaries no longer reflect cultural/socioeconomic boundaries and are wildly out of date. this map correctly recognizes that as somebody in philadelphia, i have more in common with baltimore/south jersey than i do with central PA.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

oh my god, it's political violins

hi, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you need to be calling this administration "the most corrupt in US history" every time you appear in public, no matter the question/topic.

that's a long way to spell "venezuela"

this is straight out of monty python

won't be the last disintegrative thing to happen under this administration

sounds like there's труба in paradise

democrats need to start landing some hits on the press (and supreme court, but i digress) as they campaign

random thing that rankles me: arguments that "rural areas feed cities." rural areas *sell food* to cities. it's a transaction, not charity.

upholding the constitution by convincing whole swaths of the country that the union is a shitty deal

a real head-turning thread:

"writ large" doesn't mean "in general"

On the latest @bearmarketbrief.bsky.social podcast, @seva.bsky.social dropped by to talk about why #Russia gets to play such an outside role in global politics. If it's "strength," what does "strong" mean? www.fpri.org/multimedia/2...

Can't really blame the founding fathers for it: our political system is deficiently designed for representing dense populations.

CNBC: Do you think Jay Powell should stick around? MIKE JOHNSON: My opinion is that we should reduce interest rates. The American economy is hot. CNBC: But if it's too hot, you don't want to cut rates.
