That should do it. Why would any journalist with a shard of respect go anywhere near that place except to moon anyone who would attend. America is a mess. So deeply fond of gestures rather than meaningful action.

And Ukraine should, quite correctly, say "No. If you want someone to stop some shit, you have Putin on your speed dial. We didn't start the fire."

Haha, as a consequence of moving to the land of the little people, went to buy a couple of casual shirts, and I am now (thank you, gym) an XXL. Next stop will be the big&tall section, I guess.

The Republicans aren't going to invoke the 25th because they understand that when Trump goes, everything falls apart. They would rather embrace a clearly unwell, unstable person than lose their power. It doesn't matter what Trump does, or Tweets. They will cling to him like limpets.

They should lose all the sponsors, and who the fuck is buying tickets to see an actual damn Nazi, FFS.

Everything about Trump 2.0 is the Most American Thing Ever. He was clear about his plans and Americans, secure and comfortable in their isolation were like, "Oh, he won't do any of that. But he will make Cheerios cheaper." Now that he is doing what he said he would, people are shocked.

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Trump is asking Congress for a $1.5 TRILLION military budget in fiscal year 2027. A massive increase. Pentagon funding hit $1 trillion last year between appropriations and party-line reconciliation legislation. The military has failed to pass an audit for eight straight years.

Remember when Joni Ernst said she was concerned about voting to confirm Hegseth because of his writings & statements which indicated hostility to women serving in non-support military roles, but said she decided to vote for him after he privately assured her that wasn’t the case?

"The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson" just released on Netflix today, and holy shit. As a cyclist I remember seeing a lot about this. In that weird little world, it blew up. The documentary is intense, even overpowering at times and you can't take your eyes away. Incredible.

It can't be stated enough that the things Trump and his droogs are doing still allow everyday Americans to have an everyday life. Once gas prices return to wherever they will be, nothing will be affected, even a defense secretary resegregating the Army like a Stalinist purge. Loyalists only.

I know a Black woman officer who is (was?) up for promotion, planning to retire in '27. My guess is she accelerates those plans.

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

Hegseth's firing of longtime professional officers has echoes of another authoritarian purge of the military – Stalin's weakening of his own army before World War II.

Hegseth's military purges are what I call "ethics cleansing." He's getting rid of people who might not support his war crimes agenda and might think twice if he orders American troops to attack the American people.

Vance 2028. At some point Dems are going to have to accept the fact that purity isn't going to work, and people who will be unbothered by the clampdown (yes, a Clash reference) saying they would rather lose means what for those who are *actually* vulnerable? What comes after concentration camps?

Bondi out, an even more vicious and repugnant white man is in. It's the Trump M.O.

Forget about seeing more unredacted Epstein files now. Todd Blanche, Trump's personal attorney, is interim AG. He'll step up his efforts to cover up sex predator Trump's deep ties to Epstein, who raped children.

It’s hard to feel any sense of relief when someone from the Trump administration is fired because the replacement likely will be worse.

Just remember, if you are loyal to Donald Trump and debase yourself and perjure yourself and make yourself complicit in many many horrible crimes against humanity for his sake, Donald Trump will be fiercely loyal to you until it is slightly inconvenient for him.

elite enablers of Trump aren’t afraid of Trump, they’re afraid of what has to be done to politically neutralize Trump. that may sound like semantics, but its not.

I'm shocked that trad men don't like women. Shocked I tell you!

I wrote for @slate.com about the new IOC sex testing policy and the intersex women directly targeted by it

Every time I see the stupid, ignorant, evil, savagely repugnant shit going on in America, an allegedly Christian nation, I think "If they were really Christian, they would apply the Golden Rule, then leave people the fuck alone."

This sucks. I've been following this guy's running videos on Instagram. His "run every street" project was so cool, and he genuinely loves this city.

They should toss out this nonsense, then kick him in the nuts as a parting gift, along with seizing his land via eminent domain, asshole subsection.

grape-nuts, the tooth-chippin’ cereal

No idea what the ref was thinking here. This is traditionally a red, and with the way Chelsea was pushing, who knows what effect Arsenal going down to ten would have had. Bonpastor picked up two quick yellows for protest, but holy hell.

A thread which should be read in its entirety.

LRT is spot on. If Ivey was dropping double doubles, or making like a low-rent Steph Curry, the Chicago Bulls would have been like. "Well, um, we respect the views of players even as we don't agree, and ... erm ... hem ... haw ... "

What people riding for Jaden Ivey don't seem to understand is that this is absolutely about the *combination* of the fact that he provided no on-court value to the team *and* his off-court actions were a distraction (at best). Teams will put up with a lot if you're contributing. He wasn't.

I am just trying to get my head around @scavendish.bsky.social having somehow morphed into a sage professor, right down to the specs and tastefully gray beard. Where have I been?

There should be Medicare for all, or some damn sort of public health care. It's crazy how many people are a job loss away from not having health insurance. That said, if this chart includes Social Security as "public spending," I have quibbles.

Orange Menace will either declare the Iran War that isn't really a war they claim, "won," or will announce U.S. boots on the ground. The first is more likely but don't rule out the second.

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

BREAKING: “It is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path our long term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union.. Brexit did deep damage to our economy” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏

I just had to block some idiot who for some reason or another, rolled in to scream about me being "pro Nazi." No effing idea what that was about but in my many years talking shit about football, politics, whatever on The Other Site, that has never happened. Folks are crazy over here.

I am old enough to remember when Repugnicans were riding the Anti-Semitism train when people dared question the genocide in Gaza.

This is great. The conservative legal movement is already gearing up with arguments about how Jews don’t count when it comes to religious freedom.
