And this is an abduction that if we don’t stop can turn easily into people being disappeared. No paperwork, no charge, no reason for abduction and released with no official record. This is authoritarian behavior.

the sandwich guy walking away from the court house and suddenly, his limp disappears

I have said privately that while I don’t necessarily begrudge anybody who chooses to leave the US, but A. That is tremendously privileged and b. I do think we have to be very skeptical about giving them roles in the country once we defeat fascism simply because they didnt stand and fight

Pretend this is Biden, @jaketapper.bsky.social.

the bot is playing with fire

Oh lord he's in the Culture novels again.

The new northeast corridor Portal Bridge is very close to being completed. Thanks Joe Biden! He got no credit for all sorts of great and critical infrastructure projects like replacing this 110 year old bridge that caused major delays to hundreds of thousands of train riders between DC and Boston.

congressional reporters are paid too much

I think we can do better than only SOME of the people in that room.

President Trump continues to put his gold stamp on the White House. Don't forget, Thursday is Wings Night

Always fun to remember the years of Corbyn-aligned types in the UK arguing that it was a horrific smear to suggest David Miller was perhaps a tad anti-Semitic. Anyway, here he is throwing a tantrum because Mamdani condemned swastika graffiti on a Jewish school

I must get like 5 responses a day that say things like "B-but propaganda!!" and jfc, you can't propaganda your way out of someone not being able to afford groceries. It doesn't work.

What the actual fuck?

My honest reaction to these people is "Oh are you feeling triggered? Do you need to go to your safe space, snowflake?"

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

I couldn’t top Fitton

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

Seeing some folks noticing that these are blue states or blue cities but honestly I think that's more a function of the fact that most urban areas worthy of having a major airport vote blue.

Nullification is a jury's veto on prosecutorial overreach.

It is impossible to hate John Roberts enough.

I don't want to hear about how if you're protesting ICE you need to hide your identity and keep no ID because otherwise you'll be rounded up and sent to the gulag, or whatever. they can't even land a conviction when you throw a footlong at them

i sincerely really think people, even among liberals, vastly underrate the extent to which feminism and women's rights have been completely abandoned by our side because of latent hostility to female presidential candidates who beat labor/working class focused candidates in primaries

If Hillary Clinton had won, we’d have a liberal Supreme Court majority right now. Just puttin’ that out there.

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

"Biden wasn't strong, which is why he risked World War III for Ukraine, which is why we elected the Peace President, who kills random civilians, which makes us strong" This stuff is unfalsifiable tripe. If only it didn't impress conservative defense bros who can't manage anything more coherent

fwiw i think one reason why Trump is avoiding negotiating with Dems or really meeting with Dems is that they're hiding his condition.

not all gyros wear capes

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

LOL get rekt

since Helen Andrews is in the news again, how about everybody enjoy the best TV cspan ever did, where she gets relentlessly demolished as a truly awful person by her *libertarian* ex-boyfriend www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAIT...

Republicans looked at the past few decades of American history, in which shutdowns have pretty much universally been electoral disasters for the GOP, and said “ah but this time is different because our senile narcissist fuhrer will say on tv were doing it on purpose so he can make himself king”

I'm kind of fascinated by RFK Jr's fleeing the scene. He didn't even wait until the pharm exec had hit the floor, or to see what happened - as soon as the guy's knees buckled, RFK turned and booked. That guy is so weird.

At this point it's very hard to avoid the conclusion that the harm Sulzberger is causing is intentional.

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

wow, prescient headline from the new york times, great job everyone

Wonder who bought this investigation.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.

I realistically think that the current problem with the right is the whole NPC thing. They truly, earnestly believe that only RW uber males (lmao) have agency, and everyone else is just a muppet or something. It makes the ugly realization that "Actually no, I can oppose you." even more jarring

We watched as years of “liberal hunting permit” and “Second Amendment solutions” got winked at, culminating in Jan. 6. I have absolutely no interest in granting legitimacy to any Republican fainting couches here.

My honest reaction to these people is "Oh are you feeling triggered? Do you need to go to your safe space, snowflake?"

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Yes! And for all the Mamdani talk this year, Wu could be a step ahead. As my colleague @hsouvainehorn.bsky.social pointed out Tuesday morning, depending on how the city council elections shake out, it could be Wu cementing her ability to make Boston a center of progressive policy.

is the liberal in the room with us right now
