Abolishing ICE is the milquetoast squish lib position. Dismantling DHS is an acceptable compromise. Stretch goal is show trials ending in long sentences at hard labor.

Oh wow, absolute power corrupted you absolutely? That’s so weird, I got absolute power last year and my subjects say I’ve only gotten wiser and more virtuous

Very normal Friday looking at photos of sex toys as part of a government photo dump into a sex crime conspiracy involving the sitting president.

I get that not everyone feels the way I do about the Supreme Court. But watching the best-known source of Supreme Court news go from providing mostly down-the-middle, public service-y coverage to, say, doing free PR for Amy Coney Barrett's book has been pretty grim, in my view

I have been informed that Abrego walked in and out of his ICE check-in this morning with no issues.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

I wonder what it must be like to live life in such a way that you don’t have any conception of how the existing healthcare system functions.

let's all freak out at the same time

Ted Kaczynski held an assistant professor position at my alma mater, which had the good sense to keep that fact out of its promotional materials.

“Trump says he pardoned Tina Peters.” And I said I’m now the Pope. Both statements deserve the same level of respect.

Okay, one other thing about this: I really wish people had the courage of their convictions and just came out with what they want to say instead of doing this whole ‘the Left made me do it’ thing.

Setting aside her bizarre obsession with the phrase ‘birthing person’ — which has maybe been used in earnest all of three times in recorded history — what actually got her in hot water with the left was an extended rant about crime in Los Angeles.

Alrighty then.

Imagine if Charlie Brown could hear millions of readers screaming “Don’t do it! Don’t try to kick it! She’ll pull it away just like every time!! Oh my god!!” and still went for it.

Congrats to the Dems who voted to end the shutdown and were so convinced that they would get a deal.

I’M LOSING MY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

we are about to be inundated with so much Ursula porn.

I wish there was more public recognition of how batshit insane it is to call the president a dangerous authoritarian and then give him a $1 trillion military budget

Post a bird to tell your followers not to buy Starbucks through the duration of their ULP strike

It's not a conspiracy theory to say that Douthat's primary role in our political culture today is to tell fairy tales to rich centrist NYT readers about how the far right extremists who have taken over the brands of the GOP and "conservatism" are totally fine and are nothing to be concerned about.

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

This isn’t exactly a First Amendment issue but whoo boy is it ugly to watch the American gestapo put out statements on what is and is not offensive to Christians.

Everything else aside, it pisses me off that Elon is getting credit for being an ‘architect of AI’ when his sole contribution to the field is taking existing systems and making them more racist.

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

man, what?

The principle that the fascist is at once strongman and smol bean is probably most explicitly laid out in this administration’s criminal charging papers.

The LA jails have just posted their 45th in-custody death for the year, a 22 year old man who died in the hospital. It's LASD's 3rd in-custody death in two days.

All usual disclaimers that I know that the hypocrisy in the point, but: Trump’s attorneys routinely move to have judges recused in cases involving him when the judges were appointed by other presidents because they allegedly pose a conflict of interest.

"Ask me anything"? OK! How about you get out of my way and let me read the essay I clicked on?

Sometimes I think people forget that the word ‘lead’ is built right there into the word ‘leader.’

‘I invented this new bag that you put around a sandwich to keep it fresh, but it’s clear so you still get the full visual of the sandwich.’

The idea that something isn’t real until some stupid chatbot says it it’s real is gonna get us all killed.

It would be kind of a good bit to give each of my nieces exactly one pencil for Christmas.
