Trump doing this speech like a 5th grader doing popcorn reading

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

i like to call this "electoral college brain," when politicians (or hell just regular people) confuse the fact that the electoral system privileges closely competitive interior states with some deeper, fundamental meaning

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Big day for @bencollins.bsky.social and @theonion.com as they made the Mini!

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

"No to war... and free Palestine" Javier Bardem

Pretty surprised to see this take from Mina of all people. The government banning social media for kids is obviously bad in the exact same way millennials would have recognized the government banning video games or television for kids would be bad when we were kids. It's just another moral panic.

Me The most racist person alive 🤝 “Stop softening racists’ language”

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

I live in the state of California, he's my governor, I voted for him in 2018, and he's the worst piece of trash imaginable. He hates the trans community, he's criminalized being homeless in a state where hardworking people are one missed paycheck from the street. He had Bannon on his podcast

Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

The Gui Santos contract seems like confirmation to me that Kerr is coming back. No other NBA coach is playing him, so that’s the only reason to extend him.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I can’t find the meme from I believe @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com about “this is a kink” but I glanced at this guys timeline and he is just doing Yglesias level trolling.

I will never fly British Airways again. Just an incompetent airline from top to bottom. Though their flight attendants seem nice enough.

The Heathrow Express might be the funniest train experience I’ve ever had. Business car entirely to myself. There’s maybe 10 people on this entire train? Meanwhile, in San Francisco, we can’t even get a Caltrain post game Giants express anymore on a train that was always standing room only.

Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

RIP discord

So ICE is forging people’s signatures to say that they agreed to be deported and then holding them hostage if their lawyers appeal their cases www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Donald Trump is a racist.

Good for Kuminga, he's finally free of Steve Kerr.

So fucking infuriating watching Bezos and his cronies kill the Post. Taking away sports, books, and international reporting so you can write opinions praising Trump is so damn bleak.

This is a very weird, unprofessional tone from the Chicago Tribune. Have the hacks at the Tribune apologized for their previous endorsement of Rahm Emmanuel? www.chicagotribune.com/2015/02/06/t...

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

No masks on cops. No masks on cops. No masks on cops. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bad Bunny's win tonight is the launching point to Puerto Rico statehood.

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Have a lot of thoughts about this that I can’t share here, but I think a big part of ICE’s shittiness is a combination of laziness, incompetence, and misaligned incentives. This is a law enforcement organization whose culture is the Always Be Closing scene from Glengarry Glen Ross.

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I can exclusively confirm that @ndrew.bsky.social is NOT in the Epstein Files. I can also confirm that I've been unable to confirm that @jcsalterego.bsky.social is not in the Epstein Files.

I love that we're told we should be happy with whatever scraps Dems get at the table and Lindsey Graham can hold up everything with a "I should be allowed to cash a multi-million dollar check from the taxpayers for my trouble"

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.
