We've Got Nothing Against Immigrants, Except the Immigrant Ones A cartoon by me and @valigarmander.bsky.social . Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon Help us make more! patreon.com/barry

Dammit I laughed

"Immigrants have suffered particularly since Trump returned to the White House, but they are not the only group to have been openly abused. We’ve also seen protesters, Democrats, and journalists attacked, violently assaulted or shot at." Our @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on moral monsters:

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

My very favorite Jane Goodall story is about how she befriended Gary Larson after he made a mildly offensive comic about her:

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

I hope this catches on and becomes his legacy

Shocker. The judge knows he'll be fired if he rules in favor of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The system is rigged.

If NPR dared put Pastor on—I would donate even more money. Can you imagine Pastor on Code Switch?! That episode would be full of program for sure 🤣🤣🤣

There was a noticeable difference between “feds are in town” and “feds are in town and now being paired up with MPD units.” They went from bumbling around on the Mall to surgical strikes in migrant neighborhoods & targeting key commuter roads for working class neighborhoods at rush hour.

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

Employees listening to managers talking about all the innovation that will come from hallway conversations now that they have to come into the office five days a week.

Microsoft's massive price increase on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – combined with the just-increased (again) console prices – means that the Xbox Series console generation will be remembered primarily for one thing: Microsoft's greed. Check out @dmc-ryan.bsky.social's full opinion piece:

What we are seeing with Trump 2.0 is not a double standard, but abandonment of the idea there ever was a standard. From the moment these people were allowed to rebrand lies as “alternative facts”, the pace of this country’s decline has only accelerated.

Unlike the author in this video, I WILL say that these bozos have never read any of those books.

Notice how all of the things Johnson said the American people will go without are already things they are going without...because of the Trump administration.

Absolutely this! Grover Norquist is a ghoul.

everyone pays for that dude's F150 or cybertruck in either local taxes or shitty roads. he should pay more to use the roads than someone with a toyota corolla

You don't have to like her (Again, I don't think "like" should be a part of the conversation with regards to politicians. This ain't High School. Who gives a fuck who you "like?"), but she's been right about pretty much EVERYTHING since Biden stepped out of the race.

this inktober i have decided to just draw stuff

On this day in 1939, a Sampson County, North Carolina, sheriff arrested a young Black woman for shouting a warning to a 21-year-old Black man named Andrew Troublefield to help him avoid being lynched by a white mob of 500 people.

good morning to the history makers

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post. I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing. Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there? Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff." You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

So what would happen if everyone who relies on Medicaid (including retirees who've served in the military or have been the pillar of their community) and ACA (including small business people and farmers) did posters showing they are the kind of American Stephen Miller is calling "illegal."

One talking point most GOPers have decided on (perhaps bc Stephen Miller is the Prime Minister & an asshole) is that Dem CR would give "illegals" free healthcare. That's not true abt Medicaid or ACA (at best it treats legal immigrants as illegal), but a better response is to hang premise on them.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

The ADL thought it could fall in line with Musk and it would stop his attacks on them. Instead, it just made them complicit, legitimized Musk, and ultimately didn’t actually change him at all. This is how fascists work. Greenblatt tried being transactional: for fascists, it only goes one way.

He has a gallon of like Brylcreem in his hair and a generally oily, unclean aspect and is yelling about the importance of grooming

A segment from a much longer and excellent interview by Katie Couric of Bryan Stevenson which speaks powerfully to the moment we are in and how it is built on this nation’s past failures to reckon with its history. https://youtu.be/wv4EQ-NiwjI?si=aEm_Vd6TsPIQQGiF

This was excellent.

You can't pardon someone in America for murdering Venezuelans, I'm pretty sure it's illegal there too. In other words, extradite that human skidmark

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

TNC was eating him up

Coates never fails and I get it. It’s hard to talk to one the greatest writers and speakers of the 21st century as young as this century is.

in most states landlords are allowed to do more or less whatever they want after someone misses their rent, as long as the policy was in the lease fine print. that's why so much rent debt simply should not exist: it's late fees upon junk fees upon compounded interest this is promising

This is just incredible. Someone made not just a computer, but an *entire working LLM* out of (438 million) minecraft blocks www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

I have been very impressed with Van Hollen, especially considering nothing in his background suggested that he had access to this level of “Fuck you, make me”.

the WNBA gone stop doing exit interviews... i think this gone be the last exit interview

Well, well, well and all this time I thought it was just racism, but Cathy you outdid yourself disrespecting Delaware's finest 🧳!!

She can have two husbands

They canceled all this DEI money... and didn't provide a single resource , didn't redirect, didn't divert any money for white communities
