Playing on their turf never ever wins, not morally, not politically. Here's a response: "this is a wedge issue targeting kids, getting into their doctors' decisions. Next, they'll come for your hysterectomy, your vasectomy. And it's because they can't talk about the economy." Say Fuck You back

It's no exaggeration to say that millions may die because of this one man's narcissistic crackpottery. This is what real evil looks like. Not glamorous or impressive or self-aware or challenging; just stupid and pointless and vain and venal.

People who are untrustworthy and disrespectful do not deserve trust and respect.

What is happening with CBS shows the US media bias problem. Outlets with actual integrity are regularly accused of liberal bias, even as a large and growing part of the media is owned by the right wing pushes right wing viewpoints at the expense of integrity.

roberts and alito have concocted a jurisprudence in which constitutional amendments explicitly ratified to secure the right of black americans to vote now restrain congress from securing the right of black americans to vote.

I mean who is to say a line connecting three dots represents a pattern? Euclid?

Maybe hard things are actually hard to do?

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

They’re turning the entire federal internet apparatus into a galaxy of phishing sites that are controlled by the president and do not adhere to any federal privacy or disclosure rules.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you've seen live! • Leonard Cohen • Elton John • Rush • Aimee Mann • John Prine • Bruce Springsteen • David Bowie • Phish • The Allman Brothers • The Avett Brothers

We haven't made financial reparations for slavery, but Trump's bougie cronies want a payday for all of their own transgressions against themselves. This is the most epic example of failing up I have ever seen.

Again, this total, multi-dimensional failure of both strategy & tactics is simply not getting remotely the same tone or intensity of coverage that JOE BIDEN FAILED EPICALLY IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS WALKING AMERICA AWAY FROM THE WORLD got in 2021.

While we might speculate about what Trump did with Epstein, we know what a jury found he did to E Jean Carroll As the judge put it, “based on all of the evidence at trial..the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he..in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll”

Wasn't there once some issue where the President's son was supposedly (though without much evidence) profiting off of his father's Presidency and it was the worst thing in the world during the last administration...

People are urging participants in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to wear pro-1st Amendment pocket squares or take a bathroom break when “guest of honor” Trump speaks. I have a better idea: Cancel the damn dinner.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Based on this story’s excerpts I have no idea what he even means in a practical sense. That people should just be left alone to be as greedy and corrupt as they want, and a majority cannot elect a government to help the poor and oppressed? Just say it, Clarence. abcnews.com/Politics/sup...

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

You all are talking about “the Pope is weak on crime” and I feel like the real gem is “should get his act together as Pope.”

But Hunter Biden sat on a board and sold some paintings.

Don't think I've ever been as terrified in all the Trump security crises. As @pkrugman.bsky.social said, "It’s the most astonishing, awful thing that I’ve ever seen, and we’ve all seen a lot of awful things." Mainly as cope, and to teach it, I keep asking why. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Seems like an exaggeration and yet

Forget about the attire. No one with an ounce of self respect should show up.

You can’t ban conversion therapy, which increases risk of suicide. But you can ban gender affirming care, which decreases risk of suicide. It’s almost like, and hear me out, they want people that they don’t think should exist to…not exist. Hell, if it does exist, will be cozier than they deserve.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The Art of the Deal

This is quite a list.

Remember how easy he said everything would be? Because everyone else was so stupid and he was so smart? I’m not sure he does.

Thou shalt not demand respect for your dead racist podcaster whilst mocking the deaths of everyone else.

"The speed with which US democracy is being dismantled is unprecedented in modern history." www.theguardian.com/world/commen... I never thought I would live through that. But here I am.

The dementia-ravaged president is increasingly spewing nonsense and acting erratically, with dangerous consequences for the entire world and it seems like that really should be all we're talking about.

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people. This time, it comes from Jesse Singal. I fact check it in my latest piece. End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue. Subscribe to support our journalism.

How dare her!! 🧐🤨 "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

The good part of war is blowing up elementary schools full of young girls and leaving sailors to drown after torpedoing their unarmed ship. To this administration, that stuff is porn.

They're still lying on the website: www.foxnews.com/video/639055...

This is what fascism looks like. 😳👇

If I had to guess the three people Trump trusts the most, they would be Stephen Miller, Netanyahu, and Laura Loomer. Heck of a crew.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms

The NYT style guide

Short 🧵 1) Stories of this category have *entirely* outlived their usefulness. "Insights" are pre-determined by tiny group you choose. Could find any six people to say the exact opposite. Could find any group to to make this case "smartly," or stupidly. Then sold as "Do voters agree?" But wait..

Iraq war was started on a presidential lie but it feel like somehow the Iran war was started on something worse: a total presidential failure to comprehend even the most basic facts of the situation

In other words, Trump is clearly out of touch with reality, but the media have to pretend he is making sense.
