This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

There's a reason Trump, et al, aren't worried about this sort of thing happening again.

Border Patrol executed a US Citizen, then attempted to frame her for somehow provoking the murder. Redistricting is cool, and all, but I want a referendum on secession and I want it yesterday. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. The most salient threat to my life and freedom is the federal government.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

Fuck despair. Fascists should have to fight for every inch they get, on principle alone. The fight is over when the fascists are defeated, and not one minute earlier.

They will enter your home in the middle of the night, shoot everyone inside, and claim unlawful resistance to immigration enforcement once there are no witnesses left.

Every time I link this, I get a little more earnest about it. We don't have to keep holding back.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

It's kind of wild that crypto scammers became *the single biggest source of political donations* in the last US election and barely anyone even noticed. These dipshits basically own both parties now and are getting whatever they want and there's been zero (0) public deliberation or debate about it.

One way to address the inevitable blanket pardons is to simply hand these motherfuckers over to the Hague.

Screw court packing, I've reached the point where I think Congress should simply enact a new Supreme Court from the aether via statute, and rename what we currently call the Supreme Court into the Second-Tier Court of Appeals or something Put 9 fresh bodies on the New SCOTUS

The Supreme Court should be treated as all career republican politicians are treated, white nationalist adversaries to democracy acting in bad faith to uphold their vision of a racial hierarchy.

Everything needs to shut down. Democrats need to not fund this oppressive government which is being used by Trump to oppress Americans. National Strike. Boycotts. This country, especially Trump and his billionaire friends, worships money. Green trumps the color White. Gotta shut it down.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

The Republican party has to be destroyed, root and branch. If we do not burn this rotten tree, they will lynch us upon it.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

•ABC: fires Kimmel for mocking Trump •CBS: fires Colbert for mocking Trump •ABC: fires Moran for slamming Stephen Miller •MSNBC: fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions” •FOX: Champions Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of America’s 600K homeless people

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Rep. Ronny Jackson calls to forcefully mass institutionalize trans people and calls them a cancer. www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/r...

it's crazy how all the villains of your average 2015 hbomberguy video are going to get state funerals

As a reminder as always, now is a good day to start using Signal signal.org

in 1995, Yahoo acquired the company "broadcast.com" for over 5.7 billion dollars. The website had at it's height only about 500k users. It was completely dead by 2002. In the end, it would have actually been less expensive for Yahoo to send each person individually 10 thousand dollars in the mail.

I would be fascinated to run basic compression algorithms on all the source code written by Anthropic, and compare the number of bytes they actually bring to the table vs. the training data set. I anticipate they contributed way less than 1% of the useful information.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Everything you need to know about the western press: Reuters called its own camera a “Hamas camera” because Israel called it a “Hamas camera” after they bombed the Reuters camera.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

How hard is it to ask him, "How many school shootings would there have to be for you to consider it a problem?" This is not a difficult rhetorical trap, you can easily turn it into "Trump says ten thousand dead children a year are acceptable."

YouTuber David Pakman (@davidpakman.bsky.social) is secretly getting paid to shill for the Democratic Party

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

This came to me in a vision

The power Trump is seizing for himself and what the dissenting judges accepted is far more than the British monarch had in at least 100 years preceding American Independence

🧐

Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls. It's like every time you cast a die, something disappears. Some alternative ending, or an entirely different world...

In the bookshop this morning: PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.” CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down * CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Someone's just thrown a bottle of Omega 3 tablets at me. I only received super fish oil injuries, but still.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

While I have plenty of beef with other stuff Newsom has done, this is exactly what we need right now

OK here's the blog post. 1) Split Ticket's WAR model is biased in favor of moderates 2) We create our own WAR measure w/ stronger model; correlates w/ @gelliottmorris.com's 3) Correlation ≠ causation. Diff-in-diffs & RDDs show no moderation effects data4democracy.substack.com/p/do-moderat...
