No Little Marco, the problem is that all your plans to fix the situation will fail because you're the one trying to fix it.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

I talked to @ilanaglazer.com about what's happening on the ground in Minnesota. It's horrific - but we have to talk about it.

Call me naive, but I refuse to believe there's no third way to either being "ALL AIPAC" or "FULL NAZI." Maybe something like "Palestinians are People." Just my 2 cents.

The TL;DR: we should be "vigilant but realistic" about the dangers. Do not give these bastards one iota of more credit than they deserve. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-cant...

“it’s always a choice when journalists decide to clean up quotes – or not. It’s always revealing which politicians have “uh” or “um” removed...For instance, how often does the mainstream media let Donald Trump’s words speak for themselves?"

Donald Trump just called Lauren Boebert to ask her to remove her name from the petition to release the Epstein files. She does not plan to do so.

Q: In the interests of transparency, why not just go ahead and release the full Epstein files? LEAVITT: This administration has done more with respect to Epstein transparency than any administration ever

He might actually be that guy...

Possibly wrong but officially NOT GUILTY

Best goddam NY Post front page I have ever seen in my 58 years as a NYCer:

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

“Every race. It’s basically been every race. Governors. Mayors. Long-held [Republican] dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three [Republican] Uber drivers. Just everything.” HCR

Le sigh...

Demanding context for Kirk but not Kimmel? IDK, folks...sounds like a load of hogwash to me...

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Yet more of the levers slipping into the hands of the few.

You have to remember, the people running this country now are evil. They don’t merely disagree on the proper ratio of guns to butter, which is what our system is set up for and expects. They enjoy inflicting pain for pain’s sake.

America has officially entered its Dark Ages. God help us all—because there's no longer any reason to believe Congress or the courts or media will. We have lost our way to a degree I never thought possible, and I am not going to pretend to have any answers about how we find our way back. We may not.

Very helpful thread on the role of “debate” at universities:

Great Alexander Skarsgård interview about playing Murderbot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D69u...

The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit. It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.

I understand that CK's remarks re: 2A happened within a larger context about gun rights and violence and so on, but I don't see how insisting on that context matters. Does knowing all this make him less dead? Does it make his kids less fatherless? IDK, folks... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVc9...

Awesome discussion about #mentalhealth and #horror and absolutely stellar readings! Well done @jonfrater.bsky.social, @hdwp.com and @chwallisuk.bsky.social

This is not a coding error.

Trump’s rewriting the map. Abbott’s issuing arrest warrants. Tulsi’s charging #Obama with treason. And the sky? On fire. Redistricting coups, #Epstein cover-ups, and 16 million acres of climate collapse. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

For a long time, I resisted reading Murderbot, despite all the accolades (for reasons I'll get into in a sec). I just finished watching it on Apple+, it's brilliant, #hopepunk AF, you should definitely watch/read it. 1/n

It took YEARS for Obama to get a Blackberry deemed secure by the NSA but this guy says let's use an off the shelf civ app for top secret comms? #OpSecFail all around, Walz.

Honestly, great queer Jewish news for Pride weekend: @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, the Democratic nominee for Manhattan Borough President - who is an out and proud queer Jew (married at CBST!) - endorsed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! 🫂❤️

Trump's crypto holdings can be tough to track (I know, it's my job)— 💥 Tokens! 💥 Stablecoins! 💥 Memecoins! 💥 NFTs! 💥 Crypto reserves! 💥 Oh my! Thanks so much to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for having me on this afternoon to break it down!

just as centrist pundits once trekked to red-state diners to seek answers for trump’s rise, they must now do the equivalent for mamdani: join an illegal polycule sublet in the mckibbin lofts

Woooooow.....Space X may actually be engineering these prototypes to be WORSE with each successive attempt...
