The 6 arrested yesterday, along with the 9 arrested Wednesday, brings the total to 15 arrested at the Idaho State Capitol building this week in Boise while resisting the extreme anti trans bathroom ban, Idaho HB 752. This law is the most extreme in the country but citizens are not going silently.

Jesus is a stunt queen. Announcing that someone is gonna betray him while everyone was trying to have a classy dinner? Fake dying then showing up a few days later like nothing happened? Threatening to send people to your ghetto cousins house for all eternity if they misbehave? Mmkay girl

If you're celebrating during the morning or afternoon, then you'll want a cheerier suit. The options are endless: cream linen, olive cotton, traditional or tonal seersucker, or just a normal worsted suit in a non-business color, such as brown.

girl take us with you

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

So stoked to watch my favorite bad movie of the 90s, Hudson Hawk! When I saw it was "award-winning" on imdb, I said, "please be the Razzies..." and it was!

Chopping Mall (1986) I know the co-writer. Shout out to Steve Mitchell. 😃

An article was printed in the @nytimes.com framed around the premise that NATO stands for “North American Treaty Organization” rather than “North Atlantic Treaty Organization”—a frame that is facially ridiculous given NATO membership. >>insert “if only you knew how bad things really are” meme<<

Deeply embarrassing that Jacobin doesn't bother mentioning the actual artists who drew, colored, and lettered the comics in this critique of "liberal capitalism."

The women coaches ✨

The discourse needs to know how overrated Jimmy Fallon is. He's not that funny, and he's not that handsome.

😂 I know the feeling! Just trying to get attention for my Journaling companion guide a thousand people would be great! Post your book, and I will repost. rightjournalproject.gumroad.com/l/offmc

Yes, exactly bookshop.org/p/books/audi...

Ditto! 😍

So just no social science

This "return on investment" discourse is brought to you by decades of accelerating public disinvestment in higher education, shifting cost burdens onto students–as–consumers rather than citizens–as–citizens. Yes, even in blue states! Even in the Capital of Education state!

He should fight the Vice President

She argues: "One cannot be religious in general any more than one can speak language in general. ... Religious beliefs may be options, as William James described them, but they are not generalized options." I'm curious about how Vance positions his Catholicism vs. this "generalized option"

Great item today from @cheetah.bsky.social on JD Vance's forthcoming conversion memoir. TL;DR: Although Vance is Catholic, the cover photo for his book depicts a (very photogenic) Methodist church. www.thebulwark.com/i/192730409/...

The obvious question is to ask what is the point of the article. And the answer is means testing. By saying the rich don't deserve public goods it makes it easier to say someone just above the poverty line doesn't either. They want public goods to be shit.

shrinkflation, streaming iteration

One of the stated goals of the ADF, Heritage, and Family policy council was to drive a wedge between the LGBTQ community to divide and conquer it. This pick me is willingly doing that work for them and is constantly being platformed by major media like the Atlantic and the WSJ.

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.

Around the World in A Day by Prince. One of the formative images in my life. Utopia.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

That's a strange way to spell "private equity"

It has always been this. It's soooo boring.

Awww I'm just so heartbroken

What I'm learning is that I need to go on a Big Back Baseball Stadium Tour this summer.

Land Back is not just a possibility. It is happening. Much more than people realize.

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.

Jamie Ding is playing Jeopardy like he has to avenge somebody

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

Not because I want the evil vibes from colonizers to return to Africa, but because we need to discuss the loss of ordinary objects used for ordinary pleasures. The emphasis on sacred and royal objects overlooks the ordinary. The ordinary is important.

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

This is not a joke. Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction will be an ongoing series! And we’re open to submissions for the second volume starting today: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

Thank you all for joining me on this journey into another day of the Trump Administration trying to re-write the Constitution. I think, today at least, the justices will not let the orange man puke on the parchment. I hope you enjoyed it, because if I'm right, this is the only "win" we'll get.

Look no further than a Supreme Court justice rubber-stamping racial profiling and a federal judge condoning a "list of Jews" as examples of institutional racism. This country has been coming at folks who aren't white, straight, and male for a long, long time. Imagine what solidarity there could do.

the old is dying and the new cannot be born: in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear and I hope this email finds you well

Organizations like MSF are *exactly* who needs a drug like lenacapavir, because the populations that MSF serves are *exactly* the people who have a high risk of contracting HIV and a reduced ability to take a daily pill.

Pelicans are reclaiming a Louisiana island that nearly vanished. The Houma Navigation Canal Bird Island's restoration has made nearly 100% of the island usable for waterbirds again, it also gives south Louisiana one more line of defence against storm surges buff.ly/8RUXmIr #ShareGoodNewsToo

"All I need is one bestseller and then I never have to look at any of you little shits again" is an inappropriate thing for a teacher to say to his Intro to Creative Writing class according to my dean.
