If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

I haven't read the novel version of 2001 since I was a kid (not really a novelization, as Clarke & Kubrick were collaborating and ACC was writing the book simultaneously), but I'm pretty sure this is more explicitly spelled out in the original book as well.

They are planning to do to us what they did to L.A. and Chicago. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/n...

Dear GOP, if you’re looking for the single opportunity history will afford you to redeem yourselves, the time is now. Your time to get rid of Trump before he destroys the country is now. Remove him now or be forever cursed throughout American history. @thebulwark.com @maddow.bsky.social

Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

It’s “Merry Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence Screaming Day”, NOT “Happy Holidays!”

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals. This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

I've never been THIS high...

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

no polite way to say this--there are a lot of fuckin crazy people out there

Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein’s house for the articles.

Today is a big and stark reminder that a horrifying number of people don’t believe women and children are human beings

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

This is insane: "wealthy, middle-class Italians would travel to Bosnia and pay to kill human beings for sport" “a price tag for these killings: children cost more, then men, preferably in uniform and armed, women, and finally old people, who could be killed for free,” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I gotta say, even I am tired of the amount of politics were are forced to consume, and I do this for a living.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

I eat at this table. I’d rather Billy not sit on it. So we’ve reached a compromise: I’ll eat off a plate on my lap and he’ll sit wherever the fuck he wants. Cats always turn me into the Chuck Schumer of my own apartment.

Legos. Step on legos every day for the rest of your lives.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

we will have gone through all of this for literally nothing.

Going to step away from this mess in the Senate right now but will just say I intend to make life a living hell in any way I can for any @democrats.senate.gov that surrender to the GOP for nothing.

Regardless of fox’s actual rabies status. This is your reminder vaccinate for rabies. Always. Even if indoor only. The ONLY way to test for rabies is euthanize the animal and remove brain tissue. There is no live test for rabies and your state/local health department will not play

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Yes. I've seen people be dismissive of the efforts to make them unmask, but this is genuinely important.
