Also, very hard to tell sometimes, if someone is drunk or just American.

Take a moment to remember how weird it is our president communicates with us through a bottom-tier social media site called Truth Social. It’s like if he governed from the comment section of a porn site.

🌮 TACO TUESDAY! 🌮

Is it a war crime? WHO KNOWS? Would every religion the world has ever known say this is wrong? WHO KNOWS? Did I send JD Vance to Hungary to put closer to harm's way? WHO KNOWS?

Goddammit. “Seems like LinkedIn is more your speed” is an A+ insult and I’m mad I didn’t think of it first.

I got mad enough about the removal of St. Louis’s bump outs that I spoke to @stlmag.bsky.social about it. I am deeply concerned that the loss of bump outs could turn into a loss of life. Will Mayor Spencer “own this” then? www.stlmag.com/news/bumpout...

I'm actually encouraged by the nearly unanimous outrage from our community on this. All the people are pissed. We need the names of the people that said yes. The mayor is a cyclist, the Alderwoman of the area was not involved. Someone grossly overstepped and their head needs to roll.

So what he seems to be saying is that it is not possible to Make America Great Again and we should certainly stop trying to

How are states addressing the affordability crisis? Some lawmakers are actually trying to raise taxes on the working class while cutting taxes for the rich. Missouri is considering replacing its personal income tax with a higher sales tax. itep.org/missouri-inc...

Downtown St Louis No Kings March

The only thing that makes any sense is that Mike Johnson is gunning for the Gerald Ford route to the presidency

This No Kings Day on March 28 is more important than ever. Find your local protest at nokings.org.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

A concise thread outlining the world of shit Trump dumped us into. Sure seems like he could have used some of those woke military minds in the room instead of sycophants.

This is a remarkable article.

Kat Abughazaleh running a tight primary race while having zero presence on Twitter is a monumental signal of changing times, but you won't see any news articles about it.

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Still trying to figure out if this is one Elon's robots

An assortment of groups has submitted a set of awful proposals to the FDA concerning estrogen as HRT. theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h... Public comment is still open. If you comment opposing these proposals and send me a screenshot, I'll draw you a sketch in this thread (link+examples below).

Yep, this! All of this!

So in the short term, the Senate Majority is now 52-47 then, right?

Words cannot express the insanity of slapping across-the-board inflationary tariffs in the middle of waging an inflationary war. It’s like they’re trying to crash the market or someth— ah, I see now www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily. defencesecurityasia.com/en/irgc-dest...

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the Paramount/Warner deal, how it's best viewed as a well-funded attack on informed consensus, and how we still have collective agency to determine whether or not it actually succeeds.

FFS LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE

Once again, I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats do not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn 🤔🧐

I keep reposting this article because it needs to be seen. This is what responsible journalism on a discriminatory act against trans people looks like. Jo put in the work. It's no longer just my and others' personal accounts vs. random men with opinions. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

A proposed $80.7 million funding reduction of Missouri’s services for people with developmental disabilities would eliminate the “community specialist” option — and slash pay rates for families’ care staff by between 21% and 29%. #moleg #mogov

How is this not an SNL sketch?

BREAKING: CBP agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been IDENTIFIED: Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Catherine O'Hara makes me laugh every time she appears. She just knew how to do that.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Pretty proud of my bike protest setup. It was an inspiring day riding with my community to remember Alex Pretti.

St. Louis City Alder Matt Devoti paid a mere $28 in real estate taxes on his fairly new home on The Hill. It's tax abated www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/c..., public school kids pay for his house.

Official total snowfall in South City STL. Eight inches.

He was not a fucking protester.

TV journalists are pretty universally bad, but weekend morning TV journalists are next level terrible. I have seen the dumbest things come out of their mouths this morning. Every one terrified that someone in the White House might learn their name.

Same man, same. Heroes abound in this country still.

Currently live feed on Fox NOW showing some 30 ICE agents milling around with police tape up. Slowly being surrounded by citizens. WHERE ARE THE REAL POLICE?

no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

This is the equivalent of the Christmas commercials where the spouse buys a $100k vehicle as a "gift". I'm sure the fiscal conservatives are just gonna love it.

Mesmerizing view of the lift chair cable

Trust me, this is worth a click or two

"My best friend, Lala Rios, got taken away for recording. Tied up like a hog! U.S. Citizen by the way, born and raised here." - ICE Protester in Minneapolis tells our @jtcestkowski.bsky.social LIVE NOW⬇️
