Belfast tonight.

The vice president, singling out for overtly racist abuse a natural-born US citizen whose only non-racial political relevance is he recently lost a primary for mayor of the country's 46th largest municipality.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I had to watch it for class and even after having read a lot of stories about how racist it was, it was truly mindblowing. Genuinely one of the most godawful and difficult viewing experiences I've voluntarily put myself through.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

Hundreds of underage girls married off and hundreds more children kidnapped as U.S. foreign aid cuts contribute to surge in violations against persecuted Rohingya children.

Read @pkrugman.bsky.social’s sobering missive on the economy this morning (open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...) and realized our economy is being led by Lucille Bluth.

Dec 16th 1994 - The date that Jesse and Céline agreed to meet each other again, 6 months after spending the night in each others company 📽️📅 Before Sunrise (1995)

Feels right, hate it for us all.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This entire weekend

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

Weird to go to bed reading about the Brown shooting. Waking up to news about the Bondi Beach shooting and to be heading to bed reading that Rob Reiner and his wife were apparently stabbed to death. I hope everyone affected finds some kind of peace. JFC

Mifepristone is safe. We know it, the FDA knows it, and @facethenation.bsky.social - you know it too.

Today, @facethenation.bsky.social decided to push misinformation about Mifepristone, so let us be clear: Mifepristone is a safe and effective medication that has been FDA-approved for over 25 years. Decades of research and real-world use by over 7 million people in the U.S. prove this to be true.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

An yglesias flashback

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

Delighted to see Pakistan by Maryam in here!!!

I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

Would encourage everyone to read the story for some of the absolute horrifying anecdotes.

Every person in this room, in their inaction, implicitly endorsed ethnic cleansing in the US. Thank goodness we got rid of woke, though.

Pure, unmitigated hate.

"And there's no video footage of the incident because the raccoon, which county officials named "Rocky," came in "through the ceiling" and "took the cameras down with him," county staff said."

Important doings, everyone: youtu.be/gJxzhUAGBDw?...

Toad knows what’s up

this is the right take.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

This is just gutter racism and it’s a standard that would never be applied to say, the descendants of Italian immigrants who fled the lawlessness of Southern italy post unification and now staff this fascist administration bsky.app/profile/publ...

Spent Thanksgiving afternoon the way the lord intended: watching @rianjohnson.bsky.social’s latest Benoit Blanc caper which was very, very fun.

seen on WT Harris in E Charlotte

All of Bluesky this morning:

me waking up and opening this app

“ICE agents then surrounded (Superior Court Judge McBurney’s) car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply.”

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.' people.com/donald-trump...

full spectrum of writing on display the past 48 hours as the two highest profile excerpts released are "brigning 2 vans of girls 2 jacoozee" and "He resembled a frozen volcano erupting, a haunted carwash, both sandwich and bodega master. He wanted wanting. The circle. The square. Tiananmen Square."

Olivia Nuzzi wrote a glowing obituary for a bigoted, racist, godawful mean person, so frankly I don't know why any of this is surprising.

This is great! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/r...
