I think that we should simply run on prosecuting the rich for their crimes instead of creating a low trust society that will sow the seeds for further fascism

Somehow ended up on the email list for a terrible NIMBY running for city council in Beverly Hills, and now I’m going to go to his meet-and-greet event on Thursday 😈

We should send JD Vance on a permanent international tour to campaign for fascist politicians around the world

This older piece from Alexandra Petri feels very relevant once again today wapo.st/4vGwKl9

As a candidate seeking to replace Eric Swalwell in Congress this fall, I have issued the following statement on recent reports of disturbing allegations against him. He must drop his bid for governor and resign from Congress. Read my full statement.

Speaking of this, I will say that I nor my career would have survived a decade ago, when I came forward about being raped on a dem campaign, had it not been for the incredible support I got from some people i worked with, especially @mikenellis.bsky.social, Tim Tagaris, and Arun Chaudhary

Relieved to see the reaction to the article about Swalwell in @sfchronicle.com, but still disturbed by the way victims were treated when they tried to use the whisper network. It’s incredibly painful and risky to come forward about being sexually assaulted, esp as a dem staffer assaulted by a dem

My urban density obsessed brother is visiting me in LA for the first time and he’s so dazzled by the walkability in my neighborhood. Of course, the second we venture out of this immediate area, he will be devastated. But for now, he’s dazzled.

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

I was really really hoping things had improved since I came forward about being raped on a dem campaign a decade ago (before #MeToo), but the reaction to the Swalwell accusations are proof it’s still just as bad. Democrats sexually harass people too and they too should be held accountable.

Feels like a good night to rewatch The Death of Stalin

Dying for more Delve gossip but I don’t know anyone who was negligent enough to use them :(

On the internet, no one should be able to know if you’re a dog

I remember in high school, some kids in my class were arguing about what qualifies as growing up “poor” and one girl said that if you consistently had paper towels at home, you did not grow up poor. That shut a lot of people up really fast. Obviously, owning a country club is also disqualifying.

So I just checked the activity tab in the Wikipedia app for the first time and

So my brother is currently on a flight and the woman next to him is painting her nails. How deranged is that???

I’ve had this vanity license plate for 3 years now and last night was the first time someone irl actually got the reference

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Hard to explain how much my life has improved by switching from CVS to a locally owned and operated pharmacy

I’ve decided my dream job is the person who gets to make up fake brand names for the Dick Wolf Law and Order universe, like 5Crazy instead of 4Loco

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Being polite in painfully awkward situations is how you end up dying in horror movies, just saying

I hate to rain on a hater’s parade, but wouldn’t companies want to switch to the cloud for WW3? The AWS data center drone strike is compelling evidence that you shouldn’t have your data all in one place. A problem the cloud solves with multiple availability zones and geographic regions …

I’d rather fuck a guy in a bloody clown suit than anyone wearing this abomination

I'm really sick of liberals and centrists thinking that compromise is something you start with instead of something you end with

I think I need to start wearing a full hazmat suit when I use the furminator on my cats

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

she should have been allowed to kill one guy per season

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

So I tried the gwyneth paltrow goop pizza out of morbid curiosity and I regret to inform you all that it’s actually pretty damn good

The grocery stores in my neighborhood are all insanely crowded and have like nothing in stock … is there a natural disaster I’m unaware of or has everyone simply lost their minds?

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

My cat stole a (still wrapped in plastic) babybel cheese from me and now it’s her favorite toy of all time wtf

Any time I’m particularly comfortable, my cat Daphne will sit down just out of reach from me and then meow for pets

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Jfc economist editors, read the fucking room. This is not the week for this push notification

Aside from what Roberts says, which is true, this “reckoning” talk loses the plot. Among Dem voters, any reckoning won’t be over Biden’s health, but over his style of governing — which focused on policy and economics over MAGA’s subversion of the rule of law. His presidency’s mortal flaw was there.

The only way any democrat in the Epstein files could have even slightly redeemed themself is by speaking up before 2020. Now they will go down in history not only as pro-pedophile, but also as pathetic cowards. Every crime this administration commits is on them too. I’m so angry.

If Obama has the courage to condemn any members of his administration in the Epstein files, I will literally sob from relief.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The Democratic Party needs to condemn Bill Clinton along with every other monster in the Epstein files

People who were taught to read with three-cueing often just skip over words they don’t know because they can’t sound them out. It’s so sad.

Massive anti-ICE demonstration at UCLA where thousands of students gathered to show their solidarity with Minneapolis and Minnesota.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have
