Fun coda to the story, Bari Weiss is now head of CBS news and Radley Balko was fired from the WaPo mostly because he was such a good actual journalist on his beat

Oh wow finally some good news. This freak was a menace.

total Ganz vindication

Fortunately once SCOTUS says courts can't stop Trump from sending Texans to kill Oregonians the Democratic leadership will have some strong points about kitchen table issues

Oh wow. Good for you guys! Rampell is one of the best econ-focused columnists out there.

she is good ♥️

we are at the “comparing your enemies to insects” stage of genocidal logic.

When a man sees the future without hope, Whenever he endorses Hobbes' report "The life of man is nasty, brutish, short," The dragon rises from his garden border And promises to set up law and order. - Auden

Julius Streicher was a writer and publisher who had no personal involvement in the war or the Holocaust. He was so responsible for incitement to genocide as a propogandist that he was tried, convicted, and hanged at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity.

agree with all of this. but let’s be fair and awknowledge also that we’ve been told for a decade now that “Bernie is the future” and on trade there’s very little difference between Trump and him and progressives had to be brought into the tent after 2020.

They already support murdering people for "alleged" drug trafficking. Do you actually expect me to think they'll oppose mass murdering political dissidents?

Extremely disappointed to discover that the Marc Bloch Chair at the University of Strasbourg is alas not called the Chaise Longue Durée.

one congressperson who takes their legislative responsibility seriously: MTG. I think this stems from her being a true MAGA believer who wants to plan for the day after.

the basic pitch of American fascism is telling Gen X that if they go along with killing all brown people, they get to be teenagers again

Kamala Harris made Donald Trump have a psychotic break during a televised debate and instead of voting for her voters watched him start yelling "They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats!" and thought to themselves "I can't wait to vote for this guy!"

honestly, there's no point in reconvening congress basically ever again if the executive branch claims unilateral authority over appropriated funds. democrats have nothing to gain by helping to obscure the fact that the republicans are trying to build a monarchy - let him have his rump parliament

do we think this is sustainable? do republicans? do they really think that blue states/voters will take this abuse forever? how does this end?

In short, farmers voted to massacre tons of minorities to set themselves on fire with the assumption that the Dems could not stop the massacre of minorities but could put out the fire on them. We should not honor this assumption.

Genuinely incredible branding this was

an absolute triumph of protestant culture.

How JD detects the illegal aliens at the ER:

when you listen to folks like Klein you realize how many have internalized this when in reality it’s nonsense. total right-wing propaganda victory (from @johngage1.bsky.social)

Breaking up all the tech giants is the floor next time we’re in power.

Today, Ukraine commemorates the Babyn Yar massacre - one of WWII’s darkest chapters. In Sept 1941, Nazis executed tens of thousands, mainly Kyiv’s Jews, along with Roma, POWs, and civilians. Babyn Yar stands as a symbol of Holocaust horrors. We remember to prevent history from repeating.

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election. It won 51 seats - an outright majority. Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership. A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

oh wow, let’s go Moldova! 🇲🇩🇪🇺

it looks like a whore house

I get where this is coming from, and the electoral victory is objectively very close. But also, voters were repeatedly warned “don’t do this, don’t do this, don’t do this,” yet nevertheless, they went ahead and DID IT.

ICE delendum est

Glad that we’re identifying the true victims of the moment—cishet men. Like, I don’t even know what these people want. For POC - segregation? Gays back in the closet? And then what—Dems will start winning in landslides?

"Stalinism has no hold on the American left" yet we're out here reinventing "socialism in one country" from first principles

One nice thing about being a NeverTrump Republican is that we're not fooled into thinking our policy positions are secretly wildly popular

an incredible thing about Carlson is how he manages to be ambiguously both anti-Semitic and anti-Arab!

the revolution will not be televised (they canceled their subscriptions)

watched Good Night and Good Luck last night. very stylish, very timely. Patricia Clarkson is incredible.

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

I don’t even know what to do with this. Congratulations America, this is what you are now

we're going to win

Highly doubt that this H1B nonsense will stand as is. This is literally Travel Ban level bad.
