It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

An unfortunately appropriate piece from Molly Knight. Baseball Stuff I'm Depressed About

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

W T F is he talking about. The job isn't just to 'win Senate seats.' Even the dumbest fifth grader knows you have more responsibilities than that. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.

Trans rights are human rights!

@letterboxd.social I have a question. When I filter my watchlist by movies that are available streaming on my favorite services, I am seeing films that... are not available streaming on my favorite services. Examples: Never Say Goodbye (1946) and The Last Shot (2004). Why is this happening?

Do you guys pronounce it "exit" or "eggs-it"?

Lawn care is irrigating.

I am tired of containing multitudes. Only one tude for me!

Watching The Bikeriders. Is this really what a Chicago accent sounds like?

They should send the police to fight the fire! Maybe they can use their clubs to beat it to death.

Your reminder that bad actors who espouse fascism will eventually come for you. Even if you look exactly like them and behave exactly like them, you're not immune. Greed is eternal. People have deluded themselves by thinking that because a wannabe strongman goes after the marginalized...

THIS: “A country that just barely beats a fascist will remain on the brink of fascism, while a country that resoundingly defeats a fascist might stave off another stare-down with the abyss for years or decades.” By @brianbeutler.bsky.social www.offmessage.net/p/run-up-the...

Another note about voting and the right to do so. There are forces gathering right now to deprive people of the right to vote. Sure, you might say, those are Other people. Not me. Think again. You can always lose this right if the people in charge are sufficiently craven, cynical, and mendacious.

New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on the hard-fought history of the voting rights struggle and a reminder of what it took to make America a full-fledged democracy. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmkr...

Do you enjoy having a say in your nation's elections, however small that say may seem? Then don't vote for a fascist. Fascists do not like people having a say in things, particularly if their say is diametrically opposed to their own.

I voted and received my confirmation. And my sticker! I hope all of you of-age Americans out there do the same. VOTE VOTE VOTE Turnout for these elections is never particularly high. We need to change that this year.

Everyone needs to share this 3Xs a day every day until Election Day

“Box of Rain” is about death and being grateful for life and I am grateful for that song and grateful for the now dead Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead and his life for which he was grateful before his death.

RIP Phil Lesh.

they should publish it anyway.

For everyone who just canceled their WaPo subscriptions because it's run by a fascist who plans on being head of Trump's State Run Media, here's a paper that isn't afraid of that big giant piece of shit

Under federal election law, paying people to register to vote, including via entry to a lottery, is illegal. Under Pennsylvania law, any unregulated lottery is illegal. Under federal law, a PAC coordinating and campaigning with a candidate is illegal. I'm in the camp that says laws should matter.

Thanks Mary Guidone for your suggestion, and thanks everyone who voted to turn it into a comic! Subscribe to join the polls! 📼 #comics

Google,where can I find a yard sign that says "Nazis. I hate these guys"?

Over the holiday weekend, Trump’s language became more sinister, unhinged, and unapologetic, baiting his legions of supporters with promises of violence, retribution, and purifying purges. More in today's Morning Memo...

"Whatever you thought of Donald Trump in 2016 or 2020 or even in the aftermath of Jan. 6, 2021, Trump is promising in no uncertain terms a new, more apocalyptic and unrepentant version of himself." - David Kurtz

"[S]omething is fundamentally broken when it requires a coalition that ranges from AOC to Liz Cheney to elect a pro-democracy candidate. Democracy is designed to mediate the differences among those who believe in democracy, not resolve the conflict over whether to have democracy at all." 👆👍

Can we get 500 of you as soon as possible to share this new ad Kamala Harris just released

Getting real "masterful gambit, sir" vibes here.

Yep www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I'm following 69 accounts!

One of my favourite things. I think about this a lot.

no one: me: [ makes coffee ] 🎶 first you grow da beans then you pick da beans then you dry da beans then you roast da beans then you grind da beans then you wet da beans then you drink da beans beans beans beans

There remains great civic value in repeating the Jan. 6 story for ourselves and future generations so that it is woven into our collective memory like the Boston Tea Party, the firing on Ft. Sumter, or the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Molly gets it.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #555,398!

Someone should tell what's his face that his VP pick is hogging all the attention.

Attention @vincemancini.bsky.social, @joeposnanski.bsky.social, and others on Substack. Somehow I lost my paid subscriptions. No email warning, just busted down to "free reader." Tried to re-up using same card, but I get a message: "Your card does not support this type of purchase."

Hunter Thompson published this six days after 9/11.

As we get reactions from focus groups of undecided voters this morning, remember this SNL sketch which nailed them perfectly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAG3...

Hey MLB

Since space is really, really cold, do astronauts use space heaters?

Why do they call them surge protectors? They're supposed to defeat the surge. Who's side is the protector really on?
