Which is why she has already come out and said she supports the bill but not messing with the filibuster. That will likely be the out the Senate GOP uses.

By golly, I can't wait to hear what all those folks screaming at me to put respect on Newsom for 'standing up to Trump' have to say about this.

I remain convinced that there's a real chance Bondi ends up getting thrown overboard for that House appearance. This is mostly because the "DOW IS OVER 50K" is just so easily meme-able so she is going to keep getting clowned for a while. Also the only thing MAGA hates more than the left is women.

"Sexy murder poet" is at once the perfect descriptor for Nietzsche and also completely off base as it makes him sound super cool when he was one of the biggest losers in modern history. Like if he was alive today, he would have the most insufferable podcast imaginable.

... the what?

My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) has shared a big data update, covering all recorded US protests through Jan 2026. Some key takeaways 🧵:

I had legit forgotten Tyler existed for like a year. Good times those.

You want a sign that things are going poorly for the administration? The official DHS twitter account is currently in the comments of Never Trump accounts going full reply guy.

Be real @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social, top 3 casting choices to play you in the Netflix series, go.

Just going off the vibes coming from the far-right podcast bros, I think there is a decent chance the White House opts to burn Pam Bondi in the coming months as a peace offering/scapegoat. Her crashout yesterday is landing like a depleted uranium balloon.

It really is wild that the wealthiest man in the world is a fucking loser of historic proportions.

As if we needed any more evidence that the late 2000s new atheist crowd was made up of the biggest fuckboy losers in Western academia.

What's noteworthy about this is that it pretty much mirrors what we've seen periodically from the mega terminally online wing of the far-right for a while now. At the end of the day, they are shitposters before anything else, and there is no fate worse than turning into cringe normies.

Any Democratic candidate for national office that doesn't support mass prosecutions is not to be taken seriously.

The irony is that this would electorally decimate the GOP as much if not more so than Democrats. Like how many GOP voters have ready access to their birth certificate or even have a passport?

Hey, Bluesky history nerds! Who are your favorite pre-modern historians on here?

The head shot.

CALL FOR CHAPTERS! Me and @grahammacklin.bsky.social are putting together an edited collection looking at the use of pseudoscientific ideas by extremist movements. If you are interested, please send us your abstracts at this link: forms.gle/mAUtpDGNEj9i...

Yea this is unfortunately kinda bullshit. Yes Trump won that district by 13 in 20204 but Democrats have been winning that State Senate seat by double digits for decades.

Obviously Will's failures on this front are well documented but this is a lesson all of us could internalize better. I don't care who you are, you're going to have bad takes. Probably more than a few of them. I sure as hell have had my share. Have the courage and maturity to own it and move on.

I fully admit Chopper is going to be an CGI nightmare but I can't freaking wait for this. I will also never not laugh at the fact that Luffy truly has no idea what a pirate is. Like in 1000+ episodes, I don't he's committed a single act of actual piracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xx...

Friends, can I ask you to spread the word that we have a THREE-YEAR postdoc in American history at Cambridge up for grabs - ANY field, but applications are due March 1 so don't delay - apply, apply, apply! networks.h-net.org/jobs/69790/u...

These are the kinds of takes you invite by giving any kind of ground to people who insist electoralism is for pussies.

Like, yes, Bills Gates absolutely sucks, but this is the kind of delusional naval gazing that leads to mass death. We have a sickening over-abundance of evidence of what happens when you let cranks fuck around with food production.

And another thing: I'm not mad. Please don't put in the newspaper that i got mad.

We're barely one month into the semester, and a student in my international relations theory class just said she wants to literally fight John Mearsheimer. My work here is done.

When people ask me why I'm still reveling in the New England Patriots getting exposed as one of the greatest frauds in NFL history last night when there are so many more important things to focus on:

Jets fans truly cannot escape hell.

My cup of petty hatred truly floweth over.

There is no upper limit on the amount of cyber bullying this clown deserves. And that fact he 100% lost an insane amount money tonight gambling is the cherry on top.

Huh....

Plus you know Dave Portnoy's dumb ass lost so much god damn money. What a great night.

So who feels worse: Ravens fans watching Mike McDonald hoist the Lombardi or Vikings fans watching Darnold?

Kenneth Walker SB MVP!!!! That's just so damn awesome.

I've loved watching this Seattle team all season. It sucks my Bills aren't here, but it's so hard not to love this Seahawks squad. Congrats!!!!

INJECT THIS ENTIRE GAME INTO MY VEINS!!!!! PATS = FRAUDULENT SCHEDULE MERCHANTS!

Not only did that Half Time show bang, but having the biggest sports event in the US feature such an unapologetic celebration of Latino pride and joy at this moment fills me with just a bit of hope.

I honestly struggle to think of a worse non-white messenger for this than Jim god damn Clyburn.

Qasim, please. This is insanely off-base. Schumer is both that incompetent AND maliciously lying.

McKellen is 86 years old and still an absolute force of nature. A true legend of the stage and screen.

Currently using sea lions to stave off a psychotic episode. Reject modernity. Embrace sea lions. www.youtube.com/shorts/Bxs8R...

Setting aside this dumb article, because it's dumb, I do think this exposes a huge contradiction of the modern liberal state. Because if you don't view conquest as legitimate grounds for ownership, what is the basis of territorial sovereignty? How many groups can claim true 'original ownership'?

I just started "Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right" by @lkatfield.bsky.social and in the very first chapter she launches an absolute broadside against liberals who are convinced the far-right has no true intellectual underpinnings and appeals only to the stupid or uneducated.

bruh

This is what scientists refer to as 'Yglesias-core.'

Signs your paramilitary terror campaign might be failing: People show up in front of Congress after getting mag dumped in the streets just so they can say "I lived, bitch" under oath.

I should receive a major award with a juicy honorarium over the fact that I haven't turned into the Joker yet.

In the entire multi-millennial span of human civilization, it is likely there has never been a more divorced man than Elon Musk.
