it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

The Times could have written a story that said, "These Woman-Hating Lunatics Have the Ear of Powerful People. You Should Know What They Believe So You Can Resist Them." That's...not what this story does.

completely absurd

and this was when WaPo was still pretending to be a real paper!!

One of the reasons Trump got elected is because he would say things like this and national political media would run ten pieces about how he didn't actually say we can't pay for daycare because he used the words "take care of," which could mean anything

Western civ guys read one book about western civ challenge: Fucking impossible

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

Even if Trump loses at the Supreme Court, I promise you that opposition to birthright citizenship is already mandatory for any future Trump judicial nominees. The conservative legal movement never treats a decision it dislikes as "settled." It just waits for another shot.

Omg

mind boggling like literally what could she possibly be doing differently?

"generate pushback on my column thesis" lol. lmao even.

I *did* feel an earthquake last night!

I don't even understand what I am watching

@reallysmallfish.bsky.social @triggerloop.bsky.social

I think about this one way too much

I think about this one all the time

This is the kind of thing I’m sure we’ll notice more and more in small ways post-Trump and post-DOGE. You’ll want to look up some statistic and the most recent data will be from 2024.

🧵

The Biden debate performance that ended his presidency was one-tenth as addled as what I'm watching right now.

"but back in my day (2023 and 2024), I distinctly recall that a president with apparent mental infirmities was nigh unto scandalous."

The formula and the penguins are clearly the best but I have in my mind that he did a presser in front of large stacks of paper for no reason??????

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"

I mean.....

This could be the funniest April fools day ever If Mike pence has the courage

This is such a strange news update

I believe I was reliably informed that putting soldiers in the middle of civilian areas makes attacks on civilians totally cool

Even if the Supreme Court rules to uphold Birthright Citizenship, and I suspect it will, Trump will still have succeeded in politicizing an issue that has largely gone unquestioned by most Americans. To that extent he will have weakened--perhaps permanently--another pillar of our democracy.

the track suit!!!!!

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

Alito: "our immigration laws have been ineffectively and, in some cases, unenthusiastically enforced by federal officials" LMAO Biden catching strays here despite his best efforts. Alito is so FOX-pilled it's not even funny

Did the USMNT get a win against two elite teams right before the World Cup? No. Did we at least learn some valuable lessons to take into the summer? Also no. But did we at least have fun while watching our favorite team play soccer? No.

Roberts and the Republican justices deserve every bit of this fucking circus since this case should never even be here.

This could be the funniest April fools day ever If Mike pence has the courage

I have been thinking a lot about this article & the "BIDEN'S TOTAL FAILURE IN AFGHANISTAN!" coverage in 2021, & there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of that coverage & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran/NATO/Trump now.

Trump couldn’t stay awake in a trial where he was on trial.

Things are just RELENTLESSLY BAD… ALL THE TIME!!!

watching videos of how to fold a crunch wrap supreme like it's a complicated hair braiding video

Here is the image, via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social, that stirred the White House's ire

I expect this from the WH as it is run by vainglorious pissbabies. But these are deeply disturbing, cowardly, and credibility-torching choices by Getty and AFP.

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

AOC was very famously a bartender, markwayne mullin inherited and sold a family plumbing business for millions, which of these two does the median american think to be more blue collar-coded?
