Munetaka Murakami leads the Majors with 13 home runs. His latest left his bat at 111.1 mph and traveled 413 feet.

Jiffy Pop Demon Hunters, is this anything?

whole states have stopped their election processes faster than the Biden administration was able to respond to an opinion that had already been leaked months earlier. i don't mean this as a random jab; republicans just understand power in a way that dems do not.

In which I point out that there is really no reason to assume this incident resulted from a misstep in the legislature 5 years ago or a courtroom 4 months ago. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/29/h...

My conservative boomer mom, who lives 40+ miles outside of the city, told me to “be careful” today because there are “demonstrations” that could “get nasty” 🙄

The argument, as I understand it, is that if all the new housing is built by private actors with no competition from govt (pub housing) and no price controls, then it won’t go far enough to solve the problem. It’s not opposition to “build more housing” per se, it’s disagreement on how to do it

Happy May Day

Genuinely love to see a stance changed like this — and publicly acknowledged. Public opinion is in our favor. It’s long past time for Illinois lawmakers to repeal this anti-free speech law.

I think there’s a decent indicator Platner won’t be another Fetterman, everything else awful of him aside, but that this is where we are is actually only more of an argument for why Schumer should no longer have his job.

As much as I want to say “lol get fucked,” I do actually want everyone (even terrorist pieces of shit who belong in prison like Chaya) to get free healthcare. I guess two things can be true 🤷‍♂️

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

I’m still working my way through the back catalog of this podcast, and I’ve just had to listen to it on 1.5x speed. There’s no other way

give it a few months, they'll drop the Candace types from this even though they're throwing them in one pot with socialists because of anti-zionism. she's ultimately a right winger, a very popular one. they won't go after her hard for long. this is red scare 3

Illinois wrote the playbook on anti-BDS laws in the US. It’s time we fix it. In 2015, Illinois became the first state to pass a law like this. Other states followed, turning free speech into something that can be punished. But you can be part of history to repeal this law:

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

Somehow the Sky’s roster includes the 3rd, 4th, and 5th picks in the 2024 draft

Chicago DSA could always use more people!

Is the CTA running the purple line more often, or am I just getting lucky with my timing?

Yes, I’m sure she’ll get right on that. Burke is such a disgrace

Happy 7th anniversary to this tweet, which explained exactly what would go on to happen.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

B L E A K (but also a bit of an outlier from what I understand of the polling in this race, and the primary is still a ways away)

I can confirm from personal experience that the median Outer Banks resident is a core Trump base voter

beast mode

Seeing folks dunking on the Times for doing a focus group of Trump voters, but the collapse in his support among people who liked him in the past is the most consequential political fact of our current moment.

Re-upping this little thread amid the latest round of UBI discourse. TLDR: UBI can be designed in a way that is good and helpful, but it has to be truly universal, and it has to come with 0 strings attached

I don’t think this website actually held much relevancy in what has been a months long campaign by dem consultants and insiders but that it’s known as a bastion for the type of person who takes that bait like catnip is, in fact, bad.

Happy Upside Down Mussolini Day everyone!

Legal academia has never exactly been a profession that isn’t worthy of significant contempt, but the degree to which fascism has infected it really deserves serious consequences. Like “revocation of tenure for all law profs forever” serious

If after everything that’s happened you still aren’t willing to call the Republican Party and its favored parties evil, I don’t know what to fucking tell you anymore

Finding an excuse to tap this sign is always fun

Just a reminder that those bulwark people are also the bad guys

Imagine if you did a Big Boy Crime and the media said you got radicalized by Malcolm Gladwell

These new taco bell commercials are intense

My mom gifted me a copy of Trey Gowdy’s book years ago, and I feel like I can’t just put it in the little free library and forget about it forever because she wrote me a personalized note inside the cover

Oh wow really

This was, in all seriousness, the point of the Harper’s Letter

It’s funny but also sad that leftists who don’t post on here think this website is all centrists. Those of us who have good politics must do our duty in this ideological fight (ie, post more)

Stephen Miller copping what might be his last feel on them pregnant tiddies is the most relatable thing he’s ever done

You deserve to be canceled for partying with people of power who send masked men to execute civilians on the street, shoot real journalists in the faces, and kidnap children and dissidents in broad daylight

In addition to being a weirdo in a lot of ways, T4lor L0r3nz is genuinely a bad person (using leet speak because I’m pretty sure she name searches) (also, love the podcast, Molly)
