Oh they should only do what wins? Wow, should they also make the whole plane out of blackbox??

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

it would be just awesome if Schumer and co could stop vindicating every vulgar marxist podcast take on the Democratic party for the last twenty years. it's fucking devastating to morale bsky.app/profile/litt...

1,450,000 military members getting $1776 in tariff refund is like the Republican equivalent of hyper means tested technocratic Dem policies where black owned businesses can get an interest free loan if they operate in a low income area for six years or whatever

Do you remember when the broadcast networks declined to air primetime speeches by Obama and Biden they deemed too overtly political? Because I do apnews.com/20ccd7a90e43... www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

Something that what happened in Australia and the ensuing discourse has brought back in to my mind is that there are still fewer Jews in the world today than there were in 1939

apparently this is how we all find out that Jeffrey Epstein was shopping at Fishs Eddy in 2016

The Roberts Court is a weapon forged against the Constitution as written and amended, especially but not exclusively the Reconstruction Amendments, and either the amendments are legitimate or the court is but they both can't be. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

“No evidence the intent went beyond freeing slaves” — the framers of the amendment openly stated that it would grant citizenship to the children of Chinese immigrants. It’s in the Congressional record. Cited extensively in Wong Kim Ark. These aren’t obscure sources, especially for law professors.

I hate how every app has a different button you have to push in order to watch the film credits and half the time I guess wrong

to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes

Social scientists spent the last 50 years arguing that racism is still prevalent in US even if it's covert (racism w/ a veneer), unconscious (racism w/out intent), or systemic (racism w/out racists). Along comes MAGA, which embraces gutter racism while claiming that teaching about racism is racist.

Almost fifty years since Renee Richards fought for the right to play. The New York Times covered the controversy closely, running this collection of responses from their readers that sounds like it could be run today

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

Lyft driver asked where I was headed, then immediately told me NYC is one of the few places he never wants to go. I wanted to ask him why he didn’t think that was a rude thing to say to someone you just met, but I didn’t want to put my life at risk.

Helpful map by Axios of all of the terminations of temporary protected status under the second Trump administration. Get the update below. www.axios.com/2025/11/24/t...

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

this is, again, a case of someone who has not done any kind of real work in decades (maybe ever, she has a degree in political science and has been doing HR her entire career) who think the bullshit they sleepwalk through every day is work and don't understand why real human beings get tired by it

Gutting US counterterrorism and federal law enforcement capacity was a bad idea. Sorry to get so partisan. I know the president wants to see more political violence in the US, and thinks it's important for federal forces to prioritize crackdowns on nonviolent, noncriminal migrants. I just disagree.

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

Listened to this seven months ago. Heartbreaking. bsky.app/profile/bjke...

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Imagining an alternate timeline where Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends was created by Gerry Anderson instead of Britt Allcroft. That would go fucking HARD, imo.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

The thing about Hunter's benders is that he didn't want to invite elites to them because he was, on some level, ashamed of his own behavior in a way none of the elites ever were.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The New York Times has always been like this

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

you: it probably is not actually true that donald trump blew bill clinton me: it depends on what your definition of is is

Dems should send a clear message to Trump's underlings: Are you sure you want to trust Donald Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Having been involved as an expert witness in three documentary proof of citizenship cases I expect DHS will find there are 1,000s of naturalized citizens who haven't updated their drivers' license citizenship status but they'll claim they are noncitizens

When they say you get about four hours of good productivity each day, they didn’t tell you that your brain keeps an actual timer on. The moment your four hours are up, that’s it. They shut down the factory. A silent bell rang and all your braincells clocked out. Anyone remaining will be fired.

Harvard grads can call the Harvard Alumni Association and politely let them know they won't donate to the school as long as Summers is working there. Their number is 617-496-0559.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Harvard is one of a handful of schools I will not permit my children to apply to, much less attend.

Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.
