After some cameos from actors on a show set at the other end of our Commonwealth, The Simpsons are going to Philadelphia tonight! (This Homer speech will be on a T-shirt soon.)

thats an attack ad

I only met him once. Disgusting person, never wanted anything to do with him. Well I stopped by his private island. But only because I was boating past it. And did business with him. Disgusting person. Good businessman. Nice island.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon it will be too late. --Emerson ⏱ #ShareGreatNotHate

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

I spoke to folks in Minnesota this morning. Much of the press coverage has disappeared, but the violence continues unabated. Just because Bovino isn't there running tear gas parties does not mean they've stopped attacking Minnesotans. Please pay attention!!

Three years ago, if you would have told me that Kai Wagner, while playing for Birmingham City, would be fouled by Brenden Aaronson, playing for Leeds United, during the fourth round of the FA Cup, I would have asked you for a bit of whatever you are consuming. #doop #leeds #bcfc 📹: ESPN

this is a really important point. the district courts are trying to contain this administration. the circuits, by and large, are still working, with the occasional exception of the 5th, 8th, and DC circuits. the Supreme Court is on an island. lawless and completely rogue.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

AEW Grand Slam chant heard loud and clear: "F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, etc etc ..." 👉 This is in AUSTRALIA !!! The world is seeing ICE in the US and is utterly disgusted #AEWGrandSlam #ICEprotests

Star Wars is characterized by a millennia-long stagnant (only innovation is in weapons) galactic political economy fraught with oppression, lawlessness (think of the crime syndicates), and inequality. A major theme is hope in spite of this time-cyclical world.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

Let me just note, in this thread about how cities are neat places to live, that as a white kid growing up in a very white suburb, “Sesame Street” did that for me. It was my intro to subways, people being multilingual, corner stores, trash pickup, multiracial neighborhoods, you name it.

Preying on goodheartedness:

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats

I just trash picked a huge pile of photos from the State Department so you all get Madeline Albright in a cowboy hat

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

Brown Hoodie > Brownshirt

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

One example, on an anecdotal basis: you know who I see disproportionately devoting HUNDREDS of hours to practical organizing with local groups to fight fascism? Parents & relatives of trans kids. Candidates like Newsom will NEVER get that kind of passionate, priceless work from them.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Just imagine running on arresting Musk and Thiel and redistributing their wealth to the masses with specific, pithy, short form proposals to tell people exactly what you'd spend their billions on. I'd... be so happy.

Quite a scene at the Cortina Sliding Course

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Here Noem says the quiet part out loud. Trump's DHS is not a traditional Cabinet agency, a part of the U.S. government established and constrained by laws, regulations, and court rulings. DHS is now an arm of Trump and MAGA, used against citizens the administration disfavors.

One reason why Casey Wasserman has put his sports management company up for sale but has remained attached barnacle-like to chairmanship of LA 2028 Olympics: Money. Top stars walking out on agency, money walking out the door, shareholders nervous. LA 2028 sponsors have not budged.

Being brought into the principal’s office and being shown that a bunch of 38 year olds on a website you’ve never been on approve of you punching a kid.

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who didn’t know his birthday because he was born into slavery so he chose February 14 as his birthday.

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis. It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake. The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0 www.liberalcurrents.com/from-pill-mi...

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

no, it simply isnt. People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

may have just scolded the lady next to me on this flight for leaving her trash in the seat right before we deplaned. “i don’t think you should leave your trash.” “who cares what you think” [observes she has a copy of the new york times in her hands]

EXCLUSIVE: Newly uncovered audio reviewed by MeidasTouch captures PA GOP gubernatorial candidate Stacy Garrity claiming anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis were “paid protestors,” saying “they all look the same” and protests are “very well coordinated.”

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future. The climate emergency is here. tinyurl.com/mryaaj9v

Happy birthday to one of the greatest, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, he didn't know his actual birthday, but chose to celebrate it on this day. Please read his books and essays; please teach your children his story when they are old enough to understand.

Seeing an awful lot of "not a real Christian" & "so-called Christian" talk around Vought and this story & am ONCE AGAIN BEGGING everyone to stop thinking in terms of what "real" Christianity is and start expanding your understanding of the boundaries of what Christianity is and has been historically

Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.

This is blackout poetry to me

💌 Special election for our special someones in House Districts 79. Love your community? Make a plan to vote on March 17. 🗳️💖 #PAspecialelections

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Pope Francis in 2019: "Hey Bob! Guess who went straight to hell today?"

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”

Note the framing here: It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
