the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Reading Nuzzi’s glossy tale of woe told from a Mustang in Malibu while there are so many talented, ethical journalists struggling to make ends meet is an indictment of how far this profession has fallen to elite control. Success has become more of a riddle than a road map.

Telluride Mountain Resort (Telski) is resorting to hiring inexperienced, scab ski patrollers in their fight against their own workers, putting guests at risk.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

Incredible feeling when 20 years of hating pays off

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Donny: Are the Senate Dems gonna help us, Walter?

i love this sentiment from conservatives because the soviet union collapsed THIRTY FOUR YEARS AGO but everytime someone here proposes something they have in the eu ppl are like "omg you want to live in the USSR???? you want to live under SOVIET COMMUNISM??!!!!!???" and it's like bitch we ALREADY DO

Ace Ventura 2. The rhino scene alone is one of the greatest in movie history.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Literally the oldest trick in the union-busting handbook, fuck this guy

CWA also organizing Utah's first LGBTQ bar and healthcare and higher ed workers here in Utah!! Proud CWA 7781 member here!

The first player to ever hit a pinch-hit grand slam in the 121-year history of the World Series couldn't find a place to sleep so he crashed on the pullout couch of his roommate's hotel room the night before the game. How can you not be romantic about baseball

A BLM auction next summer could test the state's migration policy to an unprecedented degree. "We simply can't lease and allow development in our big game migration corridors if we want our kids and grandkids to have the same hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities that we've enjoyed."

Graham Platner has covered up the tattoo using Celtic knot imagery. I actually think there's some powerful meaning in that specific decision, to replace a symbol of white supremacy with one of interconnection and nature

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

"The annual area burned in the western US has expanded by 258% since 1985, despite increases in suppression costs & no rise in human ignitions. The difference comes down to temperature. As climate has gotten warmer & drier, fires have grown larger & more severe." 🌍 www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

the default position in the media is that conservatives are real americans and anyone who disagrees is out of the mainstream

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

This is awesome. Solidarity!!

Lots of people out there who don't feel like going to a protest and want a reason to feel good about it, like "oh well actually im doing this because I'm smarter than everyone, checkmate libs." Same way trump won the election. Just remember that it's the fascists who want you to stay home

the money you used to give to the New York Times and Washington Post should be going to ProPublica

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵

Starbucks investor group, including NYC public worker pension fund, turns up the heat on management. Citing stalled contract negotiations and many ULPs, they “urge Starbucks to set the tone from the top, restart negotiations, and reach a first contract with SBWU.”

Trump’s Department of Education actively collaborates w/ Moms for Liberty. Asked “what % of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told ProPublica: “‘I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.’” 1/ www.propublica.org/article/educ...

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

This is literally an oil pipeline and not only do we massively subsidize it with our tax dollars but it is our leading cause of disabling injury and premature death. We are not an especially clever people.

There's only one political party that accepts the fact that your friends and neighbors may have different views than you.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

My WWII take is that the war was actually won because of the snowpack in the mountains of the western US (specifically the Cascades) and the ability to make insane amounts of electricity; thus insane amounts of aluminum.

funniest thing about this crew is that they claim membership in an elite group of sage truthtellers with superior bullshit detectors who are now pretending to be shocked that history's most infamous liar tricked them into campaigning for him

I was an on-air DJ at WRFL 88.1 FM for four years and it's one of the most enriching things I've ever done. I love putting on the local college radio station wherever I'm at and letting someone take me on a ride through their tastes.

The national myth that Vietnam was winnable but for an unwillingness to do warcrimes is stupid for many many reasons but chief among them to me is that arguably the opposite is true, we were entirely too willing to reach for simple atrocity and it made us lose twice. The conventional and moral wars

"No Donny, these men are cowards."

#ICYMI: GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027. A GAO report shows the program has spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

Attention Salt Lake City Workers: The staff of The SunTrapp Bar (oldest LGBTQ+ bar in Utah) is on a ULP strike! If you are able, please join the picket line tonight.

Huh.

this is a GOOD speech

Georgia's work reqs program spent "$54.2 million on administrative costs since 2021, compared to $26.1 million spent on health care costs." ~90% of admin. expenditures came from the federal budget "meaning that Georgia’s experiment is being funded by taxpayers around the country."

Homer: SANCTUARY!! SANCTUARY!! Rev. Lovejoy: I wish I'd never taught him that word.

This is what the Dems need to hammer non-stop. Americans do not want this.
