Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

This is flatly unacceptable. Itamar Ben-Gvir is a criminal that should be arrested and subject to international law enforcement

"White, right-wing Christian hegemony conceals and undermines Jewish and Muslim solidarity by conceptualizing Muslims and Arabs as the greatest threats to Jewish survival while disguising the threat of white supremacy against Jews, Muslims, and Arabs more broadly." (from 2018)

Israel has been buying grain stolen from Ukraine by Russia. ...Oligarch circle-jerk...

Simply glorious

This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it. But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote. So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Coverage of Andy Barr, a sitting Congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate, running an ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white" -- a variation of a notorious white nationalist slogan AP: Zero NYT: Zero WashPost: Zero Reuters: Zero Politico: Zero Axios: Zero

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Zionism is to Judaism what Christian nationalism is to Christianity, but at the top of the pyramid, oligarchs and corrupt politicians like Trump aren't even Zionists nor Christian nationalists, they’re predators who feed off our resources and destroy the foundations of democracy and the rule of law.

No one: "GIVE THAT MAN A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE"

Imagine what might have been were Americans able to read and process Melville.

Nothing good

ICE is killing American citizens the right way. by Ezra Klein

@pbsnews.org @amnanawaz.bsky.social the decision to platform Grennell was a terrible one, and it went terribly. You stepped into the pigsty and got covered in barnyard material.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel getting another glow-up from @steveinskeep.bsky.social this morning. Why, @npr.org?

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking. She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?

These seem like upstanding gentlemen. Good thing they're so well-armed and protected by armor, someone might hit them with a roll of TP.

@pathost.bsky.social GREETINGS

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

For 22 years we have had a Senate with 1 Lindsey Graham and 0 pediatricians. How about we try a Senate with 0 Lindsey Grahams and 1 pediatrician?

I have been canceled and de-platformed for my political beliefs. Learn the full story in my feature-length essay in The Free Press, my interview on 60 Minutes, my chat/cooking demo on CBS Mornings, and my lecture series at the University of Austin.

Donald Trump did sex-trafficking the right way. By Ezra Klein h/t @nytpitchbot.bsky.social @ezraklein.bsky.social

"teaching", sure

Wasn't hard to call this one. Revenue media got a big bump out of the "reversal" though

@senategabe.bsky.social this is what you're enabling. You should think twice about that

I can scarcely believe we've reached this point, but...we have.

This is bad. Sarah Kendzior is one of the scholars that most understands authoritarianism and our current moment in the US.

The NYT is a cooking and travel mag with good puzzles and interactive maps. The rest is a degenerating debacle.

As a conservative pundit, I oppose gun control and believe that an armed society is a polite society. But in my hip-hop heart, I'm like if there's a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place, cuz I see some ladies tonight who should be having my baby. by David Brooks

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Self-identified Antifa activists in Portland: We hate the Democratic Party and want nothing to do with it Young Republican staffers in their group chat: Time for to fire up the gas chambers, Hitler is super cool, eh pals? Ted Cruz: When will the Democratic Party address its extremism problem?

Next up on the "needlessly platform a criminal idiot" tour with @steveinskeep.bsky.social we have Peter Navarro. Because, there's really nothing else to cover with valuable air time, and because Mr. Navarro has a new book out, you know. I feel so well-informed! Great job @npr.org brass!

@npr.org and @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social - I caught the interview with Matt Schlapp this morning. For quite some time I've wondered why you platform individuals of this sort, when recent experience clearly indicates what will happen. How did today's effort go? How did that one feel?

North America is an integrated energy market so deeply connected that it functions as one massive, interdependent system. Growth in Canadian production has been in heavy-sour crude, which is well-suited for complex refineries in the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast. rbnenergy.com/two-of-us-us...

VACCINE TROJAN HORSE “Some people believe that the term anti-vaxxer is a pejorative,” the physician Robert Malone wrote on June 9. “I do not — I view it as high praise.” Two days later, he was appointed to the advisory board that steers America’s vaccine policy. bit.ly/442yHep

You want disaster relief? You'll have to do something nice for King Trump: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

@davidaxellrod.bsky.social platforming Marc Short...why? Just awful, I had to turn it off and unfollow

@npr.org - the only word for this coverage is unctuous. Reporting on the reaction to manipulation rather than manipulation itself is a shameful backslide into obeisance...a betrayal of what many of us have admired in your org in the past. www.npr.org/2025/04/10/n...
