OHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDDDD

"Criminal justice — for way too long — has just been a bunch of people guessing." @philadao.bsky.social's Larry Krasner says "data is the truth" and that scientific study of the system leads to more just outcomes — and a safer society.

next up. divorce court. She needs to get out of hat relationship and keep the house for the kids before he loses everything in civil suits. Get your bag and don't look back.

By the late 1800s, 'pontificate' was also being used derisively for lay individuals who spoke as if they had the authority of a member of the clergy. One might consider this sense of 'pontificate' to be the spiritual forerunner of 'mansplain.'

I don’t even have words for this.

oh hey it’s a wacky new cartoon of no particular relevance to anything this morning www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

waiting for the next big NASA mission

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

It's not like we have a decades old physician shortage or anything. Thank-you AMA for your cartel tactics

If Swalwell made you or someone you know sign an NDA or settlement agreement, email [email protected] We have a lawyer for you. You will be anonymous. You are not the only one.

I'm going to point out that we spent a shit ton of taxpayer money on moderna and he's stealing it from us.

The whole MAHA ethos -- the attitude that the key to health is better individual choices -- runs counter to any public health perspective that centers broad social collective approaches, which includes vaccines and structural changes. They're just incompatible mindsets.

Gas, grass, or ass: prices are expected to rise across the board this summer

RFK Jr killed Steve Jobs and most of Jimmy Carters family. Or he will the next ones thanks to killing stuff like this. If only we could vaccinate America against him.

Aide: sir you were supposed to choose ONE of the talking points

I hate this guy so much. So very much.

Asking a cop the same questions they ask us 🤣

On Confederate Surrender Day, I give you the Liberator's take on Jefferson Davis: "We believe Jefferson Davis to be the worst man in all history. He was a repudiator and slaveholder. He has been a secessionist, a traitor and rebel....He has sedulously endeavored to subvert our free institutions."

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

I always hear this as “why aren’t there some college students for me to yell at, I always enjoy that”

Haaahaha omg cc @olivia.science @irisvanrooij.bsky.social

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

'Gov. Spanberger signed a bill to end the renewal of commemorative Robert E. Lee license plates in Virginia. A portion of the sale of these plates has previously supported the neo-Confederate organization Sons of Confederate Veterans.' #CivilWarMemory www.wavy.com/news/virgini...

understanding the food system is just too expensive when we could be using that money to blow up Iranian schools or arm thugs to drag immigrant teachers out of day-care centers

If I was management of one of the top investigative outlets in the country I’d just simply give them what they want.

I was pulling for Shawn, but these are some good numbers. That is a big ass swing.

We gotta bring back the productive kind of national shame. Not the throwing up your hands and going “what can you do, we suck” kind but the “I’ll be GODDAMNED if I let the fucking FRENCH have better TRAINS” kind

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Trump gotta go, hands down, no question. Congress gotta understand that. Congress can give us that. Compel congress.

If you're in Georgia's 14th Congressional District and you're freaking out. There's something you can actually do. There's a special election tonight. GO NOW. Vote Shawn Harris. Bring the Republican majority down.

I do feel like a semicolon might’ve been helpful

Whatever happens tonight is on the head of every republican in congress for failing to stop it. I hope it’s just TACO but you can’t fucking count on that, if you’re in a position to do something.

The President of the United States is publicly threatening to commit genocide. For love of country, for the freedoms we cherish and for the values we hold dear, the House must immediately reconvene and vote to impeach Donald Trump. Read my full statement: tonko.house.gov/news/documen...

But for real this time. Call your reps I guess? I don’t even fucking know.

Republicans are blaming NIH for not providing evidence for something that (almost certainly) did not happen.

my parents on the moon launch mom: why are they going to the moon dad: same reason we go to your brother in Australia- some people like going very far away to a place where you die if you go outside

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/4e5vZLL

Slightly pursing my lips as I applaud President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner so everyone knows I'm not really supporting him

Had to reskeet this, if only for the “weird German communists exiled to the Midwest who imprinted on the Union like a lost baby bird” part because the Forty-Eighters are one of my big historical obsessions. Go Google “Forty-Eighters,” enjoy your rabbit hole, thank me later.

if you just say aloud the prince of persia sands of time line "no, no, no, that's not how it happened" then reloading is part of the game narrative

“We propose to put it into the power of every man, woman, and child, black or white, rich or poor, when his rights are invaded, to raise his hand toward the flag, and say, I am an American citizen. Why should it not be so, now that all are free?”

“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

really like this quote from john bingham the goat on citizenship from 1867

"Americans are a people who will spend 5 dollars to ensue 1 dollar doesn't go to someone who doesn't 'deserve it'" is one of my favorite all time quotes and I wish I remembered the poster who sai dit.
