Your regular reminder that everything they accuse their opposition of is a confession of what they’ve done or what they would do if given the opportunity.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

The video of that local guy from Maui beating the shit out of the tourist that threw a rock at and nearly hit a monk seal is instructive if we let it be. That asshole never expected those consequences. He thought, at worst, he may need to pay a fine and he was ok with that. But he got his ass beat.

I think more things should get resolved by the asshole getting his shit rocked.

A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

The party of traditional values.

So the war was quite literally pointless. All around the world they're rationing energy, there are food shortages, people are suffering and dying, all for absolutely fucking nothing.

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

This is going to be met with a bunch of "that will never hold up in court" responses. Ok. So do it anyway. Force this administration to make its preposterous masking arguments in front of federal judges. Make them defend secret police on the record. Go on the offensive.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Wow, that’s crazy man.

Elderly lesbian has some thoughts on male relationships.

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

hahaha holy shit! The same day it's reported that Kash Patel sicced the FBI on the Atlantic reporter behind the story about him being drunk on the job, she drops another banger about him handing out personalized FBI-branded bourbon bottles to staff and friends. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Jesus. The fact that they tipped off Fox News seems like a red flag that this is bullshit.

i’m sure people who’ve worked with Bryant Rousseau have stories. message me on signal if you’d like to share any :)

fuck the met gala and fuck jeff bezos. that is the official stance of the handbasket.

I mean keep trying different strategies I guess

I don't...what?...huh?

turns out that every moms for liberty school board type is so viscerally unpleasant on a personal level that they get thrown out at the next opportunity maybe something to consider the next time one of them is running for office somewhere

Excuse me. Dr. Jill Biden.

"The family made national headlines after being taken by ICE during a routine immigration appointment. The family was detained in Dilley TX, while the oldest son, Antonio, was held in Raymondville. "The family and Antonio were later released and reunited..." www.valleycentral.com/news/local-n...

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

This is the worst human being possible and it’s an affront to all decency that he’s even a human being at all, and the most belligerently dumb motherfuckers in America made him president again, and I find it impossible to extend any empathy at all to any of them because of it.

Great credit is due to the Bard College community of undergraduate anti-rape activists—organizing as “Take Back Bard”—who insisted on Bostein’s resignation even in the face of widespread indifference from the faculty and sneering mockery of their efforts in the New York Times. I admire them.

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

Keating to Hegseth on the administration's rationale for its deadly boat strikes: "We were given classified information on the second strike. I can't discuss it. But it's the most convoluted bullshit I've ever heard in my life."

the thing with Trump is you really can blame most of the current inflation directly on him and his policies (tariffs, Iran war) in a way that is not true of other presidents who have had to deal with inflation

Popehat Signal, Canada Edition: A university student in Toronto in a dispute with his institution has asked for pro bono help in responding to a defamation threat from that institution. If you’re a Canadian lawyer willing to talk to him, let me know.

The Plot to Enslave America. They are planning on ending our democracy and entrenching a permanent Republican majority to rule over us. Just stating it plainly for everyone to see.

what is the fucking point of an opposition party that acts like this

The most infuriating thing about this is that his entire campaign was him saying “this time I’m going to be so much worse, you fuckers have no idea how shitty I’m gonna be”

Me: I voted for Donald Trump because I had him confused with that other guy. Donald Duck. NYT reporter: Are you sure you want me to print that next to your real name and a drawing of you? Me: Yes.

It’s entertaining to watch people who seem likely to have never been in a physical fight to use tough guy talk about filing lawsuits and yelling on podcasts.

Agreed. And it doesn’t necessarily mean people being animated to the point of violence. I think there are plenty of people who have had to try to deal with the psychological chaos of the Trump administration while also realizing with horror how much is wrong with our political system and media.

Rapist says what?

The media lives for opportunities to say “Democrats should be nicer to Trump.” They want to exist in the permanent state of “both sides” and are uncomfortable with straight reporting on Trump being a dementia-addled, incoherent, narcissistic fascist.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”
