The president’s allies responded to an election loss by storming the Capitol and trying to overturn election results. And yet it’s liberals who are everywhere called on to work to show they can be trusted to accept results, & to accept to change the rules of elections accordingly.

The @nogodsnomayors.com episode on John Mitchel missing the opportunity to end with Boy Falls From the Sky from the most New York of musicals, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, but adding a completely unceremonious splat noise.

Trump was there. It doesn't count. It's still Knicks in 4.

The Knicks need to beat the Spurs tonight with someone getting a dunk that is basically a spirit bomb made from the collective energy of New Yorkers booing the President.

The president actively sucks. Like, he is evil, but he also just sucks as a person.

I have no legs to stand on as a person who has not had the opportunity to see either production, but this is actually maybe fair.

Tonight was Tonys night and I love Tonys night even though now, as a parent, I barely get to the theatre.

I wanna take you to a Zabars. I wanna take you to a Zabars. I wanna take you to a Zabars, Zabars Zabars.

There is a non-zero chance the president will simply cease to exist based on the level of booing he will receive. It will be so loud, so cantankerous, and so soulful that a hole may simply rip in humanity and he will simply no longer be.

Peak NYC content. 10/10.

Why did they call it A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and not How is This Knight Different from All Other Knights

Goliath has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Hell yeah!

I think there is a very strong case to be made that the United States actually cannot reach an agreement to resolve the conflict so long as the president is Trump, and more broadly so long as US policy in MENA is synonymous with Israeli policy

roberts and alito have concocted a jurisprudence in which constitutional amendments explicitly ratified to secure the right of black americans to vote now restrain congress from securing the right of black americans to vote.

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

Supreme Court out here being absolute trash. Racist institution.

Jewish safety should not be framed against the safety of Palestinians, Muslims, Black people, immigrants, LGBTQ people, or other targeted communities.

Be proud of me: I saw an asinine article about a politician and instead of reposting it to point out its flaws, I am only saying that it is asinine. Such growth. Wow.

Not that I am any good with Slayer or remember how to play him, but I only learned him because be is an obvious Shockwave Alberto send up, and Shockwave Alberto is hella cool.

Why is 3-K offers coming out like waiting for a college admissions letter? And why am I going to have this feeling multiple more times before my kid finishes elementary and secondary schooling?

This seems... Profoundly bad.

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

Kingdom Hearts 3 needed a Sephiroth secret boss fight

Cloud basically being Vincent in KH1 is the coolest Cloud has ever been.

The recreation of Let It Go in KH3 is the series' lowest point. Even Atlantica was better than that.

The series would be better if Kingdom Hearts 3 was actually Kingdom Hearts 6 or whatever because then it would simply be more comprehensible what the heck was going on.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

There are few things I have ever heard that prompted a faster "Absolutely not" response from me than making peer reviewers check your citations for hallucinated references. Like, nah, man, that's the author's job.

Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

The best part about the Supreme Court is that the rules are made up and they are always pro-conservative. And by best I mean I hate it.

In Louisiana and likely Alabama, actual, cast votes are going to be tossed out as officials speed ahead with new (or previously enjoined) maps. This is such an extreme use case for the Purcell principle that the court ignoring it here signifies that it was always a made-up toy, not law.

Black people have been the Democratic party's most loyal constituency for the past 60 years. Does it appear that the party is acting as though it is experiencing an existential crisis?

Purcell for me but not for thee, I guess. What a normal, totally not partisan Supreme Court we have.

The thought I had last night was that this is not something that will get people to march like never before. That the death of the commitment to multiracial representative democracy didn't immediately have us all in the streets. And that is extremely sad.

Backing into your students with your car and doing nothing to check on them before issuing a defensive statement through the university you run is pretty gross and damning. Admin and faculty are there for the students, not for themselves.

One of the most amusingly petty things Justice Alito does is to put deadlines on administrative stays *only* when he is deeply *unsympathetic* to the applicants. He did it in the 2023 mife case and the 2024 SB4 immigration case; and he did it today. In all other cases, his stays are indefinite:

Supreme Court: *Kills the VRA* Trump: Redistrict everything even if it means redoing elections! President DONALD J. TRUMP. Worst timeline. I hate it.

Rule of law cannot mean Purcell principle for thee but not for me. 🗳️⚖️ #callais

Every southern state racing to gerrymander the moment Callais came down, with some localities trying to bring back at large elections, gives up the game entirely. This was always what they wanted: to lock in a conservative, christo-fascist, neo-confederate majority.

Wow. Where was the president of Cornell and did he know his car was capable of doing this on its own?

Goodnight sweet former butler. And flights of fanciful questions unanswered sing thee to thy rest.

The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism (@thebaltimorebanner.com) has begun its ownership of the @post-gazette.com by cutting at least 40% of staff, and 80% of former strikers. It is sad, vindictive, and does not bode well for what we’ve fought and hoped for, including the success of the PG.

What's disgusting? Union busting!

Kotlikoff has to go. You can't just back into your own students, drive away, and remain president of your university. Not at all acceptable.

Happy international workers day! If you aren’t in a union, it’s never too late to join or start one! ❤️✊

If Bluesky is not blaming Schumer it is because Bluesky no longer exists.

Just a reminder that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was called, "An act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

On this May Day I am thinking about all the Black workers who worked for years to make the US a multiracial democracy. Who organized to make mass, sustained action possible. Who marched and protested and were beaten and killed when they just wanted basic equality.
