Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

the best part of this is the seething rage and self righteousness paired with a demand for grace.

Is this piece a parody? Every time I read an interview with one of these Fabergé martyrs who retreat to their Western Civ havens, I think — half-facetiously — does anyone want to interview *me* after leaving the academy + a presidential professorship bc of astronomical conservatism + dysfunction?

A reminder that Bad Bunny performs in front of the biggest audience on earth in seven days

The trailer for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is out:

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away. We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive. #FreeTheChildren

The comments on this video are all over it lmao. It happens at 0:33 seconds, you can hear it, the woman in green immediately notices, and they end this event in an EMERGENCY. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_6k...

This piece is one of the top ten pieces I've ever read anywhere. Up there with James Fallows' Flying Blind in Baghdad and the piece Mike Albo wrote about going to the Billy Reid store in NoHo.

Breaking character: I'm not a Brooks fan but he's been genuinely good about opposing Trump in a way that few others have. My real problem with him isn't political so much as the kind of pseudo-journalism he helped popularize. This is a *great* piece about that. www.phillymag.com/news/2004/04...

If nothing changes, this is a huge victory for grassroots organizing. And for human right. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, Virginia.

never had an answer to what celebrity death wiped you out. till today.

Catherine O'Hara as Katharine Hepburn for SCTV. Genius, genius, genius.

The poise of this woman in the face of these masked thugs is something I do not think I could summon.

just choked on my beverage

It's not what I would have predicted, but I guess it's to the barricades with Will Stancil and Don Lemon

The Dept. of Appearing to Take Things Rather Seriously While Wearing a Navy Sport Coat and No Tie is actively searching for a Dean of Comfortably Ordering Wine in a DC Steakhouse Where Denny Hastert Used to Sit Right Over There. The position will pay $580,000. The history department is abolished

can anyone hook me up with david brooks’s agent

The people who need to see this won't watch this. But damn, this is good. Run this during the Super Bowl, and minds would explode.

"And that cooperation ... non-sequential $100 bills?"

It's Thursday, so the brand new episode of Reign of Error is here, and it's not to be missed. I talk to @julieingersoll.bsky.social, the foremost expert on the radical Christian theology of Pete Hegseth. Find it here or in your favorite podcast app: redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

He's a Black progressive with a strange name who managed to transform American healthcare by whipping a Congress packed with Joe Manchins. I look back at it, and sincerely do not know how it happened.

this is the sort of thing that basically confirms to me that the US will likely interfere on behalf of the separatists, primarily because they think they can own the Liberals in doing so

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

When we say that ICE is un-American it's because this, instead, is American.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

The Gestapo leader who oversees kidnappings promises consequences for exercising your First Amendment rights.

LET ME STATE THIS LOUD AND CLEAR LAW OFFICERS WHO ARE TRAINED OVER AND OVER AGAIN... THEY DO NOT TAKE JABS AS PERSONAL THEY DEFUSE SITUATIONS PROPER LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THERE TO SERVE & PROTECT THEY DO NOT MURDER INNOCENT UNITED STATES CITIZENS BUT THEY ARE PROPERLY TRAINED NOT THIS ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side. But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

There's no denying, however, that the vast majority of white Americans were unopposed (at the very least) to racial fascism for most of this country's history. For centuries, that racial fascism was built on a foundation of deadly state & private violence. bsky.app/profile/bost...

The facile pun I’ve resisted making about Trump’s Board of Peace is that it belies the greater truth of Bored of Peace. A hegemon committing suicide by dismantling the world order it created for its express benefit out of ennui, decadence, and gleeful ignorance. A historically grotesque display.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I understand the intention, but since watching this gentleman, I know there are better (worse) words for what they are.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Staff, pay attention.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Another post I will completely agree with. In the smoke-filled room days, the guy who says "let's nominate Trump" would have been thrown out of the room.

It is SO difficult to save a people from themselves when they refuse to heed their own history. So much could have been prevented if people simply believed the lived experience of evil perpetrated against marginalized communities. The chickens have come home to roost.

When the Right discusses firearm ownership as a defense against tyranny, they are envisioning a COVID vaccine card, not a liberal dead at the hands of the state

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Trump tries the pride-of-ownership angle in his pitch to annex Greenland, and @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social kinda gets it

More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House. 🔗 What's next? We explain: www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying

I’m a cynic but this is actually a remarkable interview and even I am inclined to trust (but verify). There’s a level of contrition that is rare even in *private* spaces these days. Huge respect to @junlper.beer for handling this interview with the perfect balance of probing and empathy.

Erika Kirk's Amazing Race audition tape shows that all these right wing grifters really just wanna be rich and famous and won't stop until they stumble on an audience dumb enough to let that happen
