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

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight. That is not a foundation of our democracy.

This remains THE issue, and it's not one you can solve credibly without the Trump regime fundamentally abandoning its modus operandi thus far, as by firing Russ Vought. (Either that or the Senate GOP nukes the filibuster)

Has someone checked for a carbon monoxide leak at Bluesky HQ?

This just in: authors should be arrested for murdering characters in their books.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

its also insanely cowardly - he's squaring up like its a fair fight but the reality of the situation is that you'll get a prison term for fighting back even if the cop instigates the fight. In his mind, he's a badass kicking ass when it's the moral equivalent of sucker punching someone.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Also, how much time do they spend actually maintaining their guns?

Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico, is a US citizen. It’s far past time that everyone realized that what is happening has nothing to do with immigration status and is just gutter racism

A too online man came to Jesus and asked, “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus told him to keep the commandments, to which the man replied that he had. Jesus then told him to delete his accounts and stop trolling. When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was based.

feels like we are in the era of people at the top of the hierarchy with all the money and/or power, will not stop saying "wahhh you're so MEAN to me"

I question any church that purposefully makes their cross look like it's burning

We're going to live like the government legalized all the illegal immigrants in the country?

I hope people understand that when I say "pedocon theory needs to be pushed constantly", I do not mean as a joke. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Absolutely been said before but if you’ve got an AI agent that is 57% accurate you have an AI agent that is 0% accurate

As someone who wrote a book literally titled WHITE FLIGHT, I’d just like to say that the argument that *whites* were the victims of violence in neighborhood transitions is so laughably racist it’s almost insane.

Narrator Voice: Stephen Miller is the least hardcore person to ever walk the earth. His hands are as soft as a newborn baby. He can’t use a hammer. He sucks his thumb in terror when he sees non-white people on TV.

Taxpayers and charities helped develop the gene therapy Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price of $2M+ per dose, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation. (Published Feb.)

We’re 10 years in and blatantly and repeatedly lying has never once been a story the press has considered important in an of itself. There simply is no downside of doing it.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

I love this

Why is the villain from Lazy Town hosting a panel show?

How did I miss Lackadaisy getting merch into Hot Topic?! That's so awesome!

If I’m running messaging, the word on the street is that Democrats are refusing to fund a dictatorship. Either Article 1 means something or nobody gets anything.

Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Wow. You've never seen a judicial opinion like this. A Reagan-appointed federal judge has ruled against Trump's policy re: ideological deportation. And he has used the opinion to teach Americans about Trump and the law—with great clarity, humor, and grace. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New: ICE has bought a tool that tracks the locations of hundreds of millions of phones globally, updates every single day. Usually harvested from apps and advertising www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

"No more overbearing rules of engagement as we prepare to deploy you on US citizens on US soil."

"Though we control the House, the Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court, our inability to get a budget has nothing to do with our own incompetence but in fact a handful of Democrats."

Two Kavanaugh stops on the same guy!

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

This whole section really.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

“All the programs we cut to nothing won’t be funded”

They don't want Dem votes because they need them to keep going on a tyrannical crime spree. It's because they're useful to pretend it's all normal and legal, that it's something other than a tyrannical crime spree. They want the appearance of legitimacy. Nothing is worth giving that to them.

We are a Zeno's Dichotomy away from a peace plan.

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo. This is stochastic terrorism.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

The welfare queens of the vast American plains need a bailout Bet no one has the courage to call them what they’ve called countless black women and men after suffering from centuries of financial oppression

I understand the amount of daily fascism & unbelievable corruption has crowded out everything else, but one can’t help but notice the total absence of the breathless Suffering From Inflation™️ chorus from the daily headlines & the National Conversation™️. One can’t help but wonder what is different 🤔🤷‍♂️

Your now-regular reminder that everything you were told constantly about the economy under Joe Biden in 2023-24 is now actually happening under Donald Trump in 2025

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

I think this is right. And it tracks with what I find in my research with moms of young kids: if women can be pushed into marriage and motherhood, then out of the workforce, they become easy targets for MAGA messaging, and often become more conservative in the process. Let me explain... 1/🧵
