Can't wait until they fold and settle for a Congress-appointed functionary who follows around the goon squads and every time they flagrantly break the law is allowed to say, "Hey you can't do that."

Be a real shame if one of the many journalists who follows me wrote this up and it went super viral and people followed him around throwing National Geographics at his head

Those famous Adults in the Room have decided to watch ICE abduct toddlers and be disappointed, but not enough to do something non-Adult about it

Fuck ICE

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

We cannot be polite enough nor compliant enough. Appeasement doesn't work. Take the bait? No, take a stand.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

It’s always important to go and talk to your listeners

who the fuck are these people talking to you want ME to invoke it?

Am I the only one that thinks this cartoon by Charles Addams (the guy who created the Addams family) is legitimately creepy?

in a way it's impressive how their strategy and messaging haven't changed one iota as fascists literally invade cities and murder people in cold blood

There are two kinds of people in the political nattering class: the kind who scold others for not listening to them and the kind who listens deeply to people on the front lines of whatever social upheaval and do their best to make sense of it to everyone else. The second is preferable to the first.

Pluribus reddit discourse is so funny. “Are we supposed to root for Carol” you are supposed to watch how her character interacts with the world “she’s very unlikable” wow that’s crazy can they do that

W after W for Will Stancil lately.

Also, when you defy Trump, you’re kind of implicitly making fools of the elite law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress, which is fun.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

"Resist call of voters" is a wild way to describe elected officials ignoring the wishes and demands of their constituents who elected them and they are literally paid to represent

Gavin Newsom isn't a decent person pretending to pander to the right wing, he's a right wing slime who pretends to be decent. He's tall and handsome and wears a suit, and he makes fun of Trump. Also he's a piece of shit.

A study in the weaselly language of a coward.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

Something is amiss in Richard Scarry's Busytown

Impeach, convict, remove.

Never before seen footage‼️ Tornado genesis of the Clear Lake, South Dakota tornado earlier this year. @myradar.bsky.social #tornado #weather

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Once again the Post attempts to own Mamdani by making his wife look cool and attractive

New York Post looks normal

RIP 2025 2025-2025

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

When we talk about how great it is to get endorsed by Dick Cheney, the idea is it creates a permission structure for moderate Republicans to defect across the aisle. What it actually seems to do is depress turnout among disaffected Democrat-leaning voters!

"Why the Enabling Act Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Weimar Republic"

This is meant as support of liberalism and yet what an inadvertantly powerful critique.

You don't hear me belly aching about temporary digestive discomfort.

I bet the guy in Good Will Hunting couldn’t hear anything Matt Damon said from outside and just thinks he stuck his own phone number on the window

ChatGPT: Your baby needs to eat between 1 and 4 tablespoons of wood glue per day.

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

If you don't find narrative occasion to think about dildos at least once per book, are you truly expressing your authentic self?

@themountaingoats.bsky.social I'm sure you've been asked elsewhere, but it's a tricky google: in Universal Harvester, when they find the display case dildo in the abandoned car, was that a reference to Devil House? Or have I been reading too much Stephen King and gone Darnielleverse hunting?

You've heard of elf on a shelf. Now get ready for... 🔭🐡🧪

real story: I was at a funeral when I was like 10 and my ringtone on my flip phone was that “yall ready for this buh buh buh buh buhbuh buhbuh” song and I forgot to put it on vibrate

When I was a kid, my grandpa caught me out back smoking a brisket, so he made me cater an entire wedding

Venture capitalists use LLMs to gain market share. Scientists use Machine Learning as a tool for discovery. Isn't it funny how the first group want you to think they're the second group.
