Hey everyone, what if neither party elected senile old people?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Just heard a great line from peloton instructor Johanna Ricouz, which I think is a perfect motto for these times: “Do no harm, take no shit.”

Donald Trump will not be president forever. He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

Trump gets richer. Americans foot the bill.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Millions Of Americans With Public Humiliation Kink Praise Trump Davos Speech

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

It's been kind of striking to see Europe take Trump seriously after getting used to people who should take Trump seriously not doing that

replace rfk jr with this guy

Not every Simpsons prediction was dead-on, but some are still pretty close.

We gotta decouple "taking seriously the idea that Trump is going to try to end constitutional government in America" from "we're doomed and nothing matters" Of course the latter is toxic, and only serves Trump. But the former is just obviously true

I have so many things I’d like to say.

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating https://theonion.com/archaeologists-d-c-capitol-may-have-once-been-used-for-legislating/

Call it the Trump Effect.

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

Are we great yet?

If you can’t get out on the streets, there are other ways to help, especially for attorneys. Seek out pro bono opportunities with local orgs helping immigrants. And everyone can donate money/food/clothing.

It is really hard to teach anything when there's no ground for any kind of shared empirical reality.

I am so tired of this shit.

I don’t know which is sadder, how fast this country has descended into fascism, or the number of people cheering it. I’m leaning towards the latter, because even after democracy prevails (it always does in the end) these idiots will still be here.

Escalation to watch for: civil and criminal threats against people calling the ICE murder a murder, especially state and local officials and members of Congress. The regime must constantly escalate.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

So logging into Facebook is only a half step away from what I hear X is like…so many bots, so many ignorant racists, it’s unreal.

I want a government I don't have to think about at all. It's like with your utilities, if you don't think of them it means they're running properly.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

So does this make health care cheaper?

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

More and more people are saying it. Call stupid people stupid. Enough already. You are able to live without Smallpox because of a vaccine and post on your phone because smart people made those things. Shut the fuck up if you're an idiot and be thankful

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

It’s been a long December, but there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last.

Maybe this year will be better than the last...

Any civilized country would have put the perpetrators behind bars. Instead, we let them roam free, and get reelected president by rubes, or stay in Congress to be reelected by rubes, when none are eligible to hold office.

The "No." from this reporter is the energy I need from everyone with a journalism degree or job description in 2026.

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill. In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.
