"But libraries are essential — to learning, to community, to democracy, and to any hope we have of building a society organized around education and collective care, rather than control."

Would sure love a Democratic Party that stood up full throated with all their chest to say that immigrants are good, and valuable, and we'll defend them at all costs.

It’s not that these people talk like they’ll never be out of power, it’s that they talk like they don’t believe a Democrat will ever prosecute them.

Looks like the bromance is over.

Find someone who looks at you like Hakeem Jeffries looks at ACA tax credits (i.e. dead-eyed and slowly tilting his head like a stalker who can't think of anything else even if the cuffs are being slapped on his wrists while sirens wail).

I disagree these are inherently untruthful professions. The problem is Dems often pretend to be something they’re not. When you watch a Democrat you’re usually keenly aware you’re watching someone perform a personality they think you’ll like better than their actual selves bsky.app/profile/redb...

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

I think it’s important to be clear who made this argument, though, it wasn’t a tech bro, it was the lawyers. It’s the BigLaw lawyers who have absolutely no morals that wrote something like this.

Modern Dems: "I heard it's cool to swear now in media hits. Donald Trump is bullshit, bro." Eleanor: I will write a column, daily, for 25 straight years about my travels, my meals, visitors, horseback riding. I will help lead the most successful political, social, and military project of all time.

Modern Dems: "Americans are lumpen consumers who care only about cost of living. vote for me, I know what I am doing" Eleanor: "[It is] the individual's duty to understand the agencies for public service in his community so that he may perform the responsibilities of citizenship." May 25, 1938.

Ain’t no sometimes

I mean, I guess we are going to find out if it is.

this is exactly why it sat funny with me; i do appreciate them rousing from their slumber to make some attempt at commanding attention, but fuck if this isn't "someone else besides me must fix this!" pt. 6,407

@davidgerard.co.uk I told ya. MST3K is SO not of the 1980s. Because they ended. In mid-1988.

Alongside a lot of gross stuff post 9/11 about Islam, this might be the single most sacrilegious thing I've ever seen in a major publication.

Take a moment to contemplate how scummy this is: every single person that works at the Atlantic will get their child vaccinated, exactly on schedule, and yet they have no problem fluffing a degenerate monster who literally wants other people’s children dead of preventable disease.

The 1980s ended in mid-1988, and the 1990s didn’t start until 1992. The time in between is a magical liminal space. I’m actually very serious about this.

Cool hats

This is the only correct answer. Do whichever you will do consistently. At prior times in my life, I went to the gym. Now I’ve got a home set up, which is obviously FAR cheaper… You can get literally everything you need with a simple bench, handful of dumbbells, and if you really want, a bench rack

Even the claim that crypto is needed as a hedge against a possible collapse of the dollar is dubious - gold & other precious metals & commodities work quite well. Crypto serves fascism & transnational crime.

This Pope guy has some bangers

The rift in timeline that opened up when Al Gore wore that earth tone suit to the debate is finally healing.

There is one and only position that makes any sense if you really take it seriously: say openly and unapologetically that he must be removed from office. Not just call on people to condemn it, not just fret about norms. He is literally trying to kill you. Act like it.

Look not to be rude but the attorneys quoted in here sound like complete marks. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/11/an-o...

So can someone turn on their sound in a library? How about a plane? Waiting room? You are probably just doing contrarianism for internet clicks, but honestly if you can't use a public resource without making it worse for everyone else because you can't both not to be rude, don't use it at all.

Ah yes, allowing public resources to be commandeered for personal use by people who care least about others. A great recipe for ruining the public resource, thus leaving everyone else worse off! Healthy modern society in action, kids.

Not to beat the dead horse, but folks need to understand the connection between Epstein, Jan 6, and the Obama Admin's failure to prosecute the Bush Admin for torturing and murdering people around the globe. It's all just iterations of the same story. Lots of folks need to look in the mirror.

Anyway I'm pretty drunk but anyone who thinks this country is a lost cause -- well, maybe you're right. But if she's a lost cause, so am I God bless the motherfucking USA 🇺🇸🦅

We are a 501(c)(3) created specifically to document such abuse of power by government lawyers. Lawyers/law students - we need your help! If interested in volunteering with us, please let us know here: glowlaw.org/volunteer

Mm hmm. People feel real confident projecting how it’s gonna work with the first ever fascist dictator that is plausibly term limited. Maybe he stays in! Or maybe as the clock ticks down to zero he starts getting real, real crazy. We literally don’t know b/c it’s the first time it’s ever happened.

Everyone needs to stop with this lame duck crap. This motherfucker has been in office for less than a year and has bulldozed this entire country. Also that paramilitary gestapo ICE force isn't going away. This man needs to be thrown out of office and thrown in prison before he kills us all.

I've said it since this whole thing started, the most predictable thing in the world is MAGA turning on the Catholic Church.

Agreed - institutions that cave (ie collaborate with) this administration should be forced to live with these agreements good and hard.

here's mine: this was the wokest man of the last 80 years.

One wonders if MTG’s recent face turn is bc she got some inside-maga info on what was about to come out and she (smartly?) decided to run away from it fast.

We are here because countless people have failed to do their literal job. Cowardice galore.

The horrifying emails coming from the Estate (and not the DOJ) made me think about something else. Merrick Garland had access to all the Epstein Files and I'm sure he knows what's in them and he could've gone after Trump for that in addition to J6 but he didn't. Garland protected pedos.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Drugs, dude. They all do drugs. It’s not that complicated.

something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
