NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Cowardly and racist is an amazing combination. We all know that wasn't a staffer and that he meant that shit. bsky.app/profile/leba...

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Extraordinary. I was crying by the end.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen

A battle over consent erupts between Jeffrey Epstein and fifteen-year-old child.

Good lord, this November column from him aged terribly.

Hi, David Brooks.

It seems like all the money I’m spending on different streaming services goes to the same person.

He played Ralphi in Johnny Mnemonic. Terrific actor and a pleasure to work with.

I do not like your AI slop I do not want this worthless glop I do not read its overviews I don't care what Grok says is true I do not like it here nor there I'm tired of it everywhere

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is resigning from Congress in January

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny

Philadelphia is THE place to be for plaintiff's personal injury lawyers. There is a LOT of money to be made. The culture that produces some of the most talented and successful lawyers can be a bit toxic at times. www.law.com/thelegalinte...

Just a little FYI from @jaywillis.net

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

I was eleven. It made me scared.

On the one hand this is a non-story about Trump not making good on deals, but what about the voluntary data surrender unwittingly carried out by those who get the phone (and the SIM)? Are buyers OK with Trump admin knowing EVERYTHING about them?

Patiently waiting for Mike Johnson to weigh in on this guy. Again. www.mediaite.com/media/news/r...

This was a tremendous pod.

PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines. Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.” But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

Cha-ching!

Not only do they have to win races within an inferior car, but they also have to bail out the team owner for ill-advised public comments he should never have made. www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

The leader of the free world is extremely controversial. Number of bone saws used to dismember his body = zero.

Shouldn’t this guy have to testify publicly? He may have some important information.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron. For accurate information, analysis and opinion about voting rights and elections in the courts subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

She did it all for love

Remember Tucker Carlson at a rally relaying basically a truly skin-crawling fantasy about Trump spanking the bad girls of America, and it genuinely had a distinctly sexual flavor to it? Trump is the fucking avatar of pedocon theory and *it’s exactly why so many of them love him so much*

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

How is this not the only thing anyone is talking about right now.

sexual abuse is a public crime because it is a crime against the sovereign, the same way murder is, or larceny, but also suicide too. we lose track of this and it’s a critical concept. the question is: does the sovereign care and, if the answer is no, it’s time for a new sovereign that does.
