Anthony is a lot nicer than me. If you cite white supremacist segregationists in support of your position, that should be absolutely disqualifying in terms of both this specific debate and any other. This is a moral abomination.

They should make a movie about the escape of the Plataeans. In fact there’s a lot of fun little movies in this book.

many are saying

It can’t be happening! It’s a work night, and I didn’t put the nice bubbles in the fridge.

Took a long walk in Inwood Hill in the snow on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend sick as a dog. Idk how those Minnesotans do it

The obsessive focus on meta-narratives is incredibly disingenuous. The Atlantic can write directly about The Thing, but obviously their primary interest is in interpersonal beefs with people they find annoying. At least Norman Mailer would actually punch people instead of this tedious shit.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

And it is absolutely an affirmative choice they and other mainstream journalists make to ignore this stuff, because the ones left on X, and there are many, definitely see it.

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota. If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!

what is in the water at the ivy leagues. has there been a gas leak at all of your institutions.

A condition for hiring any CEO should be deleting their social media presence and that should probably go for most fiduciaries. Like I wouldn’t hire a heroin addict to manage my money and I wouldn’t hire an X addict either.

I think it’s extremely unlikely that any of the new crop of ICE/CBP officers would pass the psych evals for any big city police force. They are a million times worse than even the worst cop you know.

“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is the greatest TV show of all time. Korean media is in its Golden Age.

god he is such fucking scum

Congressional democrats should start fedposting on here, which they can do (Speech or Debate Clause).

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

important message to all bluesky users

to be an annoying academic for a second the racial aspect of invading/not respecting the sovereignty of a majority-Inuit is so obvious and yet under-discussed

If Trump himself has mused about doing something, he’ll do it. “He won’t do that” is wrong 99% of the time.

There should have been an effort to expel the ~140 reps who still voted against certifying the 2020 election results even after the failed coup under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Dem. leadership's failure to treat the GOP as the domestic enemy that it is has doomed us for decades.

Biggest mistake of Jan 6 was that Ashley Babbitt was the only one, and the biggest mistake every day thereafter was not arresting and jailing Trump.

I took the subway to work on Friday and the fare was $2.90 (mta error?). Worked from home yesterday so today is my first $3.00 ride. It was $2.25 when I moved here in 2012. Not a complaint. just feel old.

IMO fewer would leave if you could go private and hide under the covers for a while. The one time I had a post blowup on Twitter I got so many hateful replies and quotes I had to just go private for a few days. The nuclear block is great but you have to read each hateful message to know who to block

JD's secret lover?

I’m starting to see special operations forces the way the Founders saw standing armies: having them & investing so much in them makes it entirely too tempting for a tyrant to use them

this is me saying this: the bare minimum acceptable response from Dems in 2026 will involve rounding up and punishing every single human in the chain of command who performed these actions to the fullest extent to which it is possible and it frustrates me that we DON'T have effective means of demand

I stopped regularly going on X right after the election but only very recently deleted it. Keeping abreast of the latest fascist fad did not do anything besides make me angry - so, unbelievably angry - and I don’t need that. No one’s day is improved by reading McMegan or Lyman tweets.

Lindsay's greatest triumph, by the way, was that NYC did not burn in 1968. He had a lot of faults, but being connected to what was going on in the city at that moment of potential catastrophe is too unrecognized success.

No longer embarrassed by my mayor. Makes all the difference walking into work as a city employee. Things might actually get better and it feels great.

You don’t need to know a single fact about Somali Americans to know the campaign against them is morally hideous. Either you can recognize that these campaigns are wrong a priori, or you are in your heart a racist.

ICE must be destroyed

The Home Rule Law has no removal provisions for CRC members; no for cause protections or anything. So not sure why this wouldn’t be like any other appointment. The general rule is absent a contrary provision of law, the power to remove is incident to the power to appoint. Mamdani - just fire them!

Mamdani should try to either disband Adams’ sham Charter Commission or to remove its members. Also, did Adams submit file the commission certificate with the City Clerk?

not to lawyer out but the other side is basically saying, completely correctly, that those people certainly had constructive knowledge of what was actually going to happen.

Kat Rosenfeld, 1861, “the slave states operate outside the moral framework which we cannot force them into. That answers why I don’t “criticize slavery more” in my work.”

RIP Cecilia Giménez. This is actually a lovely story. If I were Pope I would make her a Saint.

If you put two of those cardboard coaches together, you create “mega couch,” the source of approximately zero fights between our cats

see I grew up being told everyone is equal and worthy of dignity and respect so you can imagine my suprise when I look at a newspapers or such and see journalists and politicians saying stuff HR would immediately put you on a Stage 3 for

Sometimes the dummy tax needs to be borne by the state, and sometimes by the dummy. “You smoked 2 packs a day. Obviously you have cancer.” The state should pay for treatment. “You built your $1 million house on top of kindling. Obviously it burned down.” You should eat the loss.

You don't need to be an anarchist to think that ICE should be abolished You can be a good governance liberal who thinks that the agency has demonstrated an institutional disrespect for the Constitution, and therefore advocate for unwinding the agency and rolling its functions into a revived INS.

Someone should write a story about adventurers tricking a dragon into investing its horde in crypto and polymarket

It's very important that you put two-factor authentication on your reddit account because otherwise someone else will do it for you. Reddit was pretty responsive but it still takes a while to delete even just a few hours' worth of NSFW-bot posting. And the DMs.

I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say that the guy who replaced real doors with barn doors in hotel bathrooms should be drawn and quartered. Fuck that guy, I hate him

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Immigrants of a hundred nationalities and ethnicities flocked to dying rural towns to take hard and low paying jobs. They brought life and prosperity to these towns, and in thanks, the native population voted to destroy it all and ruin everyone’s lives.

Since I've already seen it taken down from YouTube once; I downloaded the full 13 or so minutes, straightened the video, loudened the audio, & cut it into 5 parts. Here is Part 1 of the Unaired CBS CECOT piece that Bari Weiss spiked for the Trump Admin. Harrowing & a must watch. Other parts below;

The assistant US attorneys who participated in this sham prosecution should be disbarred
