Anyone who utters the words "activist liberal judges" in the next two decades should be forever laughed out of polite society.

This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*

Hope the folks at the Times are happy with the role they played in platforming and legitimizing this know nothing bigot propagandist.

Can we just pause for a second to acknowledge that the Times did an episode of The Daily with Rufo eight months AFTER he just lied through his teeth about pet eating Haitians? bsky.app/profile/seth...

They think we're fucking stupid cattle

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

Rose Tico is one of the best Star Wars characters and her line about winning by "not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love" is one more people should take to heart.

Elon Musk is so relentlessly focused on achieving his goals that he is directly responsible for killing <at least> hundreds of thousands of people via his wildly illegal DOGE actions & their impact on foreign aid. This is grotesquely obscene nonsense from Ezra Klein.

So, welcome to a thread of stuff that happens at the OB/GYN office that they don’t necessarily provide any pain management for, beyond maybe take a Tylenol or ibuprofen before you come.

This is a field that has its origins in experimentation on enslaved Black women and attempts to reduce populations of people of color. It feels dehumanizing, humiliating, and like torture because that’s how it was designed. And in many cases, it hasn’t been updated.

But I don’t think men who care about women in their lives should get to keep shrugging this off and being squeamish about women’s reproductive systems. We often don’t have the resources to be as angry as we should because we have to actually get healthcare, somehow, and deal with the way things are.

fighting drought by harvesting energy. you love to see it

The fourteenth amendment, properly understood, is the greatest charter of liberty in human history

You know, as much as we don’t like this conservative mythology, it’s *much* better than what’s replacing it, which is the conservative intelligentsia forthrightly saying that the civil rights movement was wrong

sounds great Ron, the version of Chuck Schumer who lives in your head is way more awesome than the one who lives in mine

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

I know people involved in california water stuff and if you bring this particular incident up they have to go take a walk however stupid you think this whole thing was it was stupider than that

my less controversial star wars take for may 4th: the lightsaber is easily the coolest fictional weapon ever created, a laser sword that you can make any sick-ass color you can think of there are many awesome science fiction weapons out there but none of them hold a candle to lightsabers

time and time again the court holds that rules and maps - even illegal ones - cannot be changed because it is “too close to an election” if the changes would benefit Dems now, it is fine canceling *ongoing primaries* in order to rewrite maps in favor of the GOP

the position will be that Democrats Went Too Far and so Trump is really their fault.

Every Republican state treats its cities as conquered territories to be ruled by fiat, and this gets approximately one thousandth the degree of national attention and critique as anytime a Republican voter in California or New York feels underappreciated.

I love this. I also think it looks like if Lucy Westenra was in Jesus Christ Superstar. they aren't mutually exclusive.

this man must never again know the sweet taste of a pierogi. heck, I'm extending The Ban to all forms of dumplings.

So here we are again. POTUS threatening to destroy a country because he does not understand his actions. Project Freedom was an escalation tactic. Iran responded in kind. Now he is mad about that. This is infuriating to people that understand how this works. #IranWar #ProjectFreeDumb

I think there's a perpetual and unresolvable tension between 'this man talks a constant stream of nonsense and lies' and 'this is the most powerful man in the world'

oh man this would be an incredible one-shot convention adventure.

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

it's ok, they will simply rely on feedback from X.

WHERE IS JULIE'S ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN?!?!

Piker's a hateful dick, but he's orders of magnitude less threatening in scale or bigotry than Fuentes.

Being unable to afford a good lawyer can literally be a death sentence. Instead of offering support, resources, and intervention to those who need it most, the system too often abandons them. That’s not justice. Learn more: rehumanizeintl.org/capital-punishment

Tipper Gore thought she heard Satan speaking in Judas Priest records and it was an emergency, but the computer that has literally convinced teens to kill themselves and others? Put that in the schools, baby!

I was having a friendly discussion with one of our local activists about whether it was wise to be nice to the national guard guys or not, and his argument, fairly, was that as a DC lifer he had been trampled on by lack of representation all his life and fuck those guys for participating in it.

The passage of the ACA ensured the Democrats got thrashed so hard in one midterm that Obama couldn't do anything legislatively for 6 of 8 years but once it was passed it also ensured the same thing would happen to anyone who tried to fuck with it

BREAKING: We filed another emergency lawsuit — this time in federal court — against Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. Louisiana is disenfranchising voters who have already cast ballots, all in the service of stifling Black voting power.

what is Werner Herzog's fursona? I think he's a badger.

The Anarchy is as fine a coup de main against libertarianism as could be asked. Here is the thing you seek, all of it, without the pretense it will hold the shape of the vessel after you take it away. A continent systematically impoverished through fire & death, to keep taxes low & profits high.

also, i know we are all numb to this now and just accept it as a matter of course, but the president scheming with a major host of a cable news network to flip a US senator and trying to bribe him into it is an incredibly brazen display of corruption

EMILY DICKINSON, JEDI KNIGHT Not so clumsy, nor so random - As a blaster - in its rage More elegant - the weapon More civilized - the age

I will say that I think Trump trying openly to bribe him will probably make Fetterman *less* likely to switch. His dickheadness is about stubbornness and ego, not money.

This discourse is evidence of a bad phenomenon surrounding literature and art generally, but in this particular case it is also what you get fucking the scorpion

Like you absolutely can't try to pander to people like this, they're lunatics. They are straight up crazy people, and they should be put in a big jungle gym and they can exercise until they get it all out of their system and then come back not crazy

We included the word “Israel” in our podcast description, referring to a discussion of biblical history (granted this is in our soccer podcast, but, you know, it’s how we roll) and it got back to us that a listener was “disappointed” in us and it made them want to stop listening.
