Helen Rittelmeyer is now Helen Andrews and I am beside myself cackling at this monologue.

I came across this document a work recently & something that strikes me abt it is the way officials responded to these reports with versions of "sorry but our hands are tied." The state, they understood, was designed to serve the interests of white elites, to the exclusion of almost everyone else.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Again, what the fuck, how are these words someone can spill out of their mouth

Part of the evil is the banality. Everything else flows from the expectation that Israel is bringing about the end of civilization, and the fact that Protestant Americans are taught to *want that to happen*. [pause] Gives me a new perspective the origins on Accelerationism.

THE PEOPLE TRUE TO LIBERTY. NEW YORK REDEEMED! SHE REPUDIATES CUOMO. AN AVALANCHE OF FREEMEN. SHOUT BOYS SHOUT, VICTORY IS OURS, FREEDOM IS TRIUMPHANT.

I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now. They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.

This is three 8.5" x 11" pieces of paper taped to a wall. Right, real classy.

Spanberger +14 and Mamdani +40 with men 18-29 turns out all you have to do to win back the hearts of disaffected young men is let them experience one year of right-wing governance

I want him and Sliwa to have official jobs in the Mamdani administration but only for funny stuff. I need Adams to stand in front of ribbon cutting ceremonies going "I was a dyslexic kid in the bronx, and now look at me, a former disgraced mayor" while Sliwa is NY's Official Eating Contest Liason

"Which things, MattY?" "Oh, you know the ones."

Honestly, the trail is just horrifying.

Your periodic reminder that MTG is giving more pushback to Trump than Schumer or Jeffries.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

At some point, closing US commercial airspace -- while ICE raids continue -- might prod some Americans to question our priorities.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

The whole thing is mind-blowing, but this part at the end…

increasingly toying with the idea that this is the root of all "rule of law" issues. A democratic theory of the rule of law should begin with the idea that the rule of law emerges from the average citizen's lived experience. And that experience today is being ruthlessly ripped off at all times.

Huh, I wonder why this is? 🤔

This guy may have the widest gulf between “would like to read his dissertation” and “would trust him with a loaded firearm at a shopping mall” of anyone since the Unabomber.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

One night recently, I got a Signal message Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo? I said yes (duh). Then, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. The memo shows how the VA is making access to health coverage header for just one group: Male vets w/ breast cancer….

I do so hope there is video of Nancy Mace melting down at the cops.

I honestly think that we are where we are because we've decided that laws apply to some people, and not to others. If police would have arrested a random woman doing the same thing, then they should have arrested her!
