Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

The only way out of all this is comprehensive immigration reform, which means the only way out of this is eliminating the Senate filibuster. End of discussion. When you hear the word filibuster, think about Renee Good. About kids being detained. Don't let Senators bullshit you about this anymore.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Any university, law firm, corporation or other powerful entity that now bends the knee for Trump deserves to be scorned and boycotted. He is deeply unpopular and will only grow more unpopular. Moreover his power is waning and his own coalition smells it and is fracturing.

Incredible we built a society where tens of thousands of people are forced to live in this misery just because the wealthiest people in America want more parking and because left-NIMBY cranks still won't let go of their housing Lysenkoism which insists that new housing causes gentrification.

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with: - Lifetime terms for high court judges - An electoral college for choosing an executive - A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities - 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Trump: "Under Boot Edge Edge - another grossly incompetent. Get on his bicycle, ride to work. What they do is they take the fiber optics & they take fiber, try to hook it into copper. And fiber and copper don't mix. You can't do it...you saw that by the helicopter crash. You saw that into the plane"

Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

man this is so true. and i would expand it past discovering new information and also put receiving as well. almost everything has become low brow content that solely exists to make people feel good rather than push conversations forward. just look at how we've started "analyzing" quarterbacks.

Some estimates say 30–50% of GDP growth this year is just AI spend. Strip out AI and data centers and business investment is flat, commercial construction is shrinking, and the only real bright spot is the AI boom which, so far, seems great for GDP and bad for workers.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

Did you know? Trump and Mike Johnson are based on Mr. Burns and Smithers.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

I would say, "This is what's happening on X," but this is also today's Washington Post. This is the sort of toxic shit Jeff Bezos is paying for. When he said "free markets and personal liberties" if apparently means "the free market never hurts white guys," and "personal liberties" are well ...
