Fetterman should resign. I'd urge his constituents to call him and tell him to resign. He's betraying those who voted for him and embracing fascism. He should get out of the way.

We will protest war, murder and illegal deportations by ICE, corruption, and yes, Mr Fetterman, lack of paychecks for TSA workers. Join us on Saturday!

I wish I was sure that trump's is the only US admin that would vote against this.

another one! here is goose tucked in. cutey!

hey, there's another! Here is gusgus very much asleep so you can't tell what a terror he is.

okay, did get one more paid sub for the sale. really hoping for a few more here before the day drags to an ignominious close. it's 40% off, $30/year. www.everythingishorrible.net/subscribe

Parody is no longer possible.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social there's a room in Hell reserved for you

You cultivated a media environment that made empowered and encouraged the government to crack down violently on student dissent. You shoved the gag in their mouths and ask why they're silent?

If you ask the genius media knowers they'll say not everything a magazine or newspaper publishes comes with the full endorsement of the publication in question and my response to that is yes it does. It's very simple in fact.

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

Fox is a fine poll but it does run a bit to the GOP; Q and AP polls earlier today also solid but run low on Trump approval. He's somewhere between 38% and 40% approval, and as low as any new president (DDE on) has been at any point in their first two years = and staying at that low for longer.

This is super cool and the kind of “trying stuff” thinking we need

wrote about how aipac has been badly weakened—and how progressives really should not help it out by overstating its influence. I think that Track AIPAC site often overstates AIPAC's power and I think that helps AIPAC, which is bad. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/aipac-does...

With one blog post you have done more to legitimate a reactionary project than I have done in a year fighting against it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I did not submit an amicus brief, despite repeated requests to do so. I am not publishing my work ahead of oral arguments. I am continuing to do my best research, analysis, and writing to correct the record. And I’ve done something amiss? No. Don’t think so.

What strikes me as especially odd about this is that Prof. Moyn is a historian by training! If people just made things up about things he really cares about in his space and to achieve a legal rule he found morally repugnant to boot, would he shrug it off? Why should I be blamed for others’ agency?

I said the same thing to Ilan, when he demanded I “hurry up” my work or said that I was too late to influence the Supreme Court. I don’t care! My work is in the search for truth, I am not seeking power over the law or to tell judges what to do. I care about history. Why does the legal academy not?

I would have loved to have a conversation about this @samuelmoyn.bsky.social passage. But let me just say that, again, I am not a lawyer doing litigation. I’m a law profeeeor who does historically oriented work in the search for truth. Am I supposed to sit back and let someone distort the annals?

Democrats face impending dam break on Cherfilus-McCormick: House Democrats are privately expressing growing discomfort with Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) amid serious allegations of misusing $5 million in FEMA funds, tax fraud, and campaign finance violatio… https://ranked.news/391403?u=b

And Labour didn't need to do this to win in the UK in 2024, either. I think that's part of why we're seeing this full court press in the media to get Dems to move right on trans issues. It's an election they'll win no matter what their policies are, so NYT types are trying to get them to move right

This is extra offensive for 2 reasons: 1) Students at my campus are organizing like crazy to stand up to ICE. It is inspiring. 2) The last time they protested a war the NYPD stormed the campus, beat a bunch of them up, and then the city installed perimeter fencing that has been up for 2 years…

1. No robot shall...hey have you notice the drapes? Aren't they great? 2. We've been working hard on the ballroom. No one ever could build a ballroom, and I'm building it. And the arch. I saw one station yesterday where gas was $1.75. Autopen. 3. Robots? Big explosions.

Add to the impeachment file.

Rather than deliver on his campaign promises, Trump prioritizes vanity projects and his mass deportation-detention agenda over the American people. I opposed the Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act as another distraction from this Administration.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

This is so important to highlight. Democrats are already surging in popularity because of how awful the GOP is, any Dem who's side-eyeing trans people should be raising all the freakin' red flags. Please listen to us when we point out bigots and fascists, especially blue ones who are harder to spot.

One of the greatest marketing tricks pulled by centrist opinion writers is to convince people they somehow speak for a silenced, contrarian, rational minority — when in fact what they write is 80-90% exactly what mainstream corporate Dem thought is on any given subject

In fact, I’d argue that showing a backbone on trans and other rights is a step toward showing that you are willing to stand up against MAGA once in power.

(tbc, the blame for that in the uk goes to the reactionary centrists i've plenty of critiques of corbyn, but its starmer who blew the team up by lurching hard right on immigration & trans rights - this government actually *is* what many angry lefties imagine dems to be)

& if the fascists do gain power in the uk, opposing them is going to be 1,000 times harder because we're so all over the place we've basically been training people out of solidarity

don't make me beg here. it's undignified and might startle the cat

it's especially infuriating because Ds don't need any help! they're winning specials with 20 and 30 point swings! they look like they might really win TX Sen! it's not november 2024; Ds electoral problems have been solved by trump being terrible! 1

Such clarity here - "separate the art and the artist" means completely decontextualising the art, and it's quite hard to find anyone actually wants to do that.

the thing about "separate the art and the artist" is that biographical criticism is just so ubiquitous that people kind of don't even realize it or think about it until they want to defend someone who did awful shit. 1

Honestly I just wanted to paint a vivid picture in your mind of a well-tailored baby seal suit and I kinda forced it I’m sorry

We only want to separate the art & artist when the artist is Hannibal Lecter. The artist clubs twenty baby seals & then makes a suit out of their dermises and all we want to discuss is the tailorship. We don't wanna discuss the seal clubbing addiction. We just wanna admire the suit judgement-free.

We never separate the art from the artist when the artist is a decent cat but the art is just bad. We should though! I should be able to say everything Chance did after Acid Rap doesn't count! That we shouldn't hold Lin-Manuel Miranda's entire career against him because he's just a joy to be around!

Good afternoon. This is your daily reminder that Trump just lifted sanctions on Iran to give them $14 BILLION to hep fund their war against us. In other words, your daily reminder that this is probably the dumbest war of all time.

I swear to god, the anti schumer forces choosing this guy as the place to make their courageous stand just makes me want to puke. 1

Yeah, Republicans voted to take a bunch of money out of the healthcare industry just last year, which many people predicted would lead to rural hospital closures. It’s odd for a candidate running in a Democratic primary to avoid saying that with…this.

this guy is a clown. what are we doing?

Based on email from the Platner campaign, he's backing funding a Maine medical school. That's not a good policy idea. There have been multiple studies of this that show Maine would get far more out of funding internships and residencies in Maine, especially in rural areas. #mepolitics

One key thing to help rural hospitals would be to reverse Medicaid reimbursement rate cuts. The Big Beautiful Bill made it worse. Collins brags about a small grant program for rural hospitals but it's totally inadequate. #mepolitics Backgrounder: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Moreover, I have no idea what specific policies relating to pharmaceutical costs Platner backs or how and why he thinks they'd stop hospitals from closing. As a person who cares about providing health care for Mainers (+), it's quite troubling how badly framed and ignorant the ad is. #mepolitics

Gotta say I'm all for people who know stuff piling on against Platner for now.
