*frantically googling* moral arc bent wrong how to fix wikihow diy moral arc fix moral arc technician near me

Ok what does it mean that the non-sports thing y’all are posting about - the thing that’s Bringing Us All Together - is a busload of people who’ve been kidnapped by their bus driver along the hazy borders of northern Virginia towns & counties, asymptotically approaching DC forever?

Next (MIND BOGGLING anyone working near politics can make believe this away): What people believe about Dems is not made of what Dems say, but what's said about them. MAGA will SHOUT that Schumer et al are Antifa worshipping devils regardless so why not actually have morals.

Dr. West was a student of Dr. Louise Stokes Hunter, UVA’s first Black woman graduate, and I got to know Dr. West in my time researching Dr. Hunter. If you ever use GPS, thank this amazing woman!

Fascinating how all the financial papers are covering the massive amount of US treasuries held by European countries and European individuals and laying out scenarios for retaliation (and the difficulty of coordination). Obviously serious people are talking about it now (finally).

Hey guys, great news, international press are now covering us like the failed state that we are.

Christ, I hadn’t seen the details here but it really is trying to set up a Temu UN with Donald Trump as Secretary General for life (and his hand chosen successor as Secretary General for life after that).

An administration full of women who want to be one of the guys, and men's men, god help us.

Congress scholar here. This is good advice.

Let me get this straight. We're using the FACE Act - designed to protect access to abortion clinics... and the Enforcement Act of 1871 - designed to protect African Americans from the Klan... to investigate... Don Lemon???

Look: 1. It's not for sale. 2. With what money? 3. With what popular support for war? The challenge right now is not (only) to oppose this specific set of threats/actions, it's to oppose the man -- he is the crisis, he is the danger.

Tfw the dog won’t wag

It's at times like these that it's worth remembering that the USA is in fact a relatively old state by most international standards. It's older than most of Europe! It's only because it compares itself to unusually stable west European states (UK, France, Spain) that the US views itself as young.

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

In shocking twist, new research says that Americans are beating the cost of tariffs, not foreigners … … um, just like literally all of the previous research.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice. ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate www.404media.co/ices-facial-...

The thing I keep thinking about with this buying Greenland nonsense: With what money? I know y’all think it’s clever to say you can’t price it, or that it’s compelling to point out how much Greenlanders dont want to trade free health care & education. But he just literally can’t buy it.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A+ headline writing

90 day suspension of US tourist visas and this is all over

This would affect the broad middle class, plus US elites, culture tastemakers, media figures, businessmen. CNN would be upset. Trying to precisely target red states is too clever, no one cared that Canada boycotted Kentucky whiskey. Has to be a throat punch

Agree. European leaders should focus on hurting/scaring specific people in California and New York that they know and like. I am 100% serious.

If the founding fathers new what a pain in the ass due process would have been to a mad king's thugs they would have called the whole thing off.

"Expanding candidate standing while continuing to restrict legislative standing appears to be yet another data point for the current Court’s inclination to limit legislative power especially when it’s being invoked in an attempt to rein in the executive branch." New "One First" on #SCOTUS in Bost:

Y'all see what time it is?

So … over 8,000 acts of ppl invoking their 1A rights to mouth off to law enforcement? Cops have no rights to their feelings. We do, however, have the 1A right—attested to by SCOTUS—to insult the guys w guns. This is quintessential police-as-baronial class whining: “how dare you not kneel to us?”

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Donald Trump's net approval rating right now is currently worse than bush's was after Katrina www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Europe is America’s largest lender. Take that in.

You know that Peaky Blinders bit about “big fucks small”? Europe could be big if it wanted to be. And if we keep acting like this I can imagine them wanting to be. Macron does, that’s clear.

“The EU's anti-coercion instrument is the bloc's most powerful retaliatory tool, designed to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries that use trade measures to pressure the policy choices of the EU or its members.”

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU."

What an insanely bizarre illegal thing to do.

All impeachable actions. But remember in Trump's first term, people would talk about the majority of the Cabinet invoking the 25th Amendment about presidential fitness. The fact people no longer do so is not because Trump has become more fit, but because the Cabinet's first loyalty is to Trump.

That’s when the people who were urgent about it should press harder. Paint them as cowards and liars and thieves. Otherwise literally everything is a distraction, a trap, a joke. And we know it’s not.

I don't want to hear a single fucking word from any Dem politicians or consultants that aren't promising meaningful long-term prosecution and a vicious, unrelenting downsizing of ICE you're worthless and should get out of the way

America Is Slow-Walking Into a Polymarket Disaster: Why is the media obsessed with prediction markets? (@saahildesai.bsky.social) www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating

"Clash" has become the most common word used to hide state violence. It's certainly mealy-mouthed; but not neutral. It's the "both sides" of coverage of even mild discord on the streets. At its worst, agents shoot a person but members of the public also "clash" with them by yelling mean words?

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

I would like to complain about optometry. I have very bad eyesight. And astigmatism. One eye is worse than the other. They don’t make contacts at the precise prescription I need. Because I’m over 45 they want to put me in progressives but those make everything worse. My glasses are always wrong.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

I subscribe for the ethics policy. And the reporting. And the headlines that brook no bullshit.

I keep saying what the subscription buys you is the ethics policy but maybe I need to be louder that it also buys you a 2-3 year look into the future

Here’s the thing about contracts: when one side breaks them, they’re broken. You can carry on for awhile adhering to the terms in hopes they cure the breach. But when they refuse, that’s it. Contract’s over. The party who breached is owed nothing. The party who adhered is owed something, however.

Perhaps some of the strongest language yet: "We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland," Swedish rep. The time for sucking up to Trump seems to be over. Moving beyond hedging to acting.

And @timharford.ft.com takes us to the same place in his column exploring how many famous psychology such as the Stanford Prison Experiment or the work of Oliver Sacks (‘The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat’) have turned out to be misleading or fabricated www.ft.com/content/ea74...

These coming years will be the greatest challenge of our lifetime - can Trump consolidate power fast enough, or will pro-democracy forces prevail? In this fight, distinctions between "moderate" and "progressive' are outdated, and we should stop using them. They are meaningless.

Good to be back on the Majority Report to talk about what the crypto industry has gotten out of the first year of Trump’s presidency, its influence on the upcoming midterm elections, and the growing presence of prediction markets in everyday life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EATV...
