i'm sure duffy is just lying here but also i'll say again that they hard time conceptualizing relations between people that aren't strictly hierarchical.

I believe George Stephanopoulos may have, one way or another, been given the green light to stop giving a shit

Chicagoland is a friendly, safe, vibrant, & fun place. I’m very happy my kids have grown up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of the city, & in Evanston. They’re both wonderful places. But ICE is attacking us. People are doing everything possible to protect their neighbors. But it’s hard.

I feel lots of things that felt like, were billed as, self-actualization read in retrospect as canaries in the coal mine for the fraying commitments we owe to each other as members of a society.

I think it was @janecoaston.bsky.social who said in 2024, the main argument Republicans would make for Trump was “he doesn’t mean that”

Welp.

The Mariners earned it, but of course it was Tommy Kahnle.

When will my husband return from the Mariner’s game

Welp Flaherty’s pitching, we’re fucked

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

I’ve never heard someone so excited about bunts before

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Me: Big Dumper is the catcher @elliotthausen.bsky.social: I figured he was the catcher with an ass like that

Key thing here is the idea that Stephen Miller and others are absolutely thrilled that Trump has lost a step, since it makes him easier to manipulate:

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

When this is over you will be SHACKLED to him. The Republican Party owns all of this and will not be allowed to forget it.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

It used to be understood that real estate developers were evil in movies, we gotta get back to that. Not just a politics thing it’s just a good plot device.

The power of an F2.8 70-200mm in the hands of someone that knows how to use it. Pay staff photographers. Expose corruption and greed.

A lot of people are gonna learn how much of high finance is just bullshit in the hardest way possible

The Amazon Prime Days will continue until morale improves.

This man has had Coca-Cola when they still made it with cocaine

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

They say we don't have royalty in America, and yet.

Tbf it absolutely will, and Curtis Yarvin is right to worry about getting Nuremberged

The Nazis sent a lawyer to Arkansas in the 1930s to study Jim Crow laws and our legal basis for segregation and the genocide of Native Americans. He took this knowledge back to Germany as inspiration for the Nuremberg Laws. His name was Heinrich Krieger and you’re all free to google it.

Jane Goodall deserves the reverence in discourse that was mistakenly attributed to Charlie Kirk

ppl dunk constantly on things like philosophy and sociology and then turn around and go "maybe the computer *is* actually talking to me"

It’s been two years since Matt Gaetz yeeted Kevin McCarthy after McCarthy passed a CR. In many ways, that move paved the way for the government shutdown today. Allow me to explain with a 🧵. 1/

"Two things can be true at once."

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

ICE will be SPECIFICALLY targeting children now

My core userbase is an incredibly online group of people who have overwhelmingly proven they will abandon a social media site if the ownership pisses them off, also they're in a perpetual state of heightened anxiety because the world is on fire. Better start antagonizing them on a daily basis!

If there’s a chart that better illustrates this economy of “haves” and “have-nots”, I’ve yet to see it. [Ferrari vs. Dollar General:] @mikezaccardi.bsky.social $RACE $DG

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

"The flash, apparently official, CBS News died at 1pm central standard time, 2 O'Clock easter standard time, some 38 minutes ago..."

To the leaders of Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, UPenn, USC, MIT, UT Austin, the University of Arizona, Brown, & UVA: Acquiescing to a Mailman compact would be a profound betrayal of your students, staff, faculty, the public, higher education, and our shared democracy.

Wait, was Coprophagia Island a better picture than I had assumed?

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Just saying. 😤👊

I really want to reenact the magic of 2006 when the Tigers beat the Yankees at Comerica to win the ALDS on the same day Michigan curb-stomped MSU at home.
