This is a good bill with one enormous poison pill. It really sucks that Warren seems so committed to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Battering ram?? kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I hate cable news more than I can possibly put into words. Oh, the face of a violent crackdown on American cities that brutalized American citizens and destroyed countless lives? Give her tens of thousands of dollars immediately to be a contrarion that people will hate! It'll get viewers!

The media is giving an unearned farewell lap to this man so that he can get on camera and say the most offensively regressive things, and we're supposed to feel bad that he is dying comfortably of cancer after a career of trying to take away healthcare from everyone else who has it. Fuck Ben Sasse.

I've been informed that regime dissident Jimmy Kimmel is "Hasan Piker with an ABC logo"

The indictment for James Comey is an absolute joke. No reasonable person would think the former FBI Director was threatening to kill Donald Trump with a picture of seashells.

Gas prices are at the highest point in three years TODAY. Notice how it's completely missing from corporate media as they talk about "staged," King Charles, and Trump's ballroom?

SPLC Wants Todd Blanche to Stop Lying emptywheel.net/2026/04/28/s...

With a result like 2024, you can only get it if the median voter is either a deeply terrible person, or a terrible citizen. (Elite) conventional wisdom for the ~year after the election thought it was the former, but the evidence is clearly demonstrating its the latter. Which is still not great,

crying in the club* * at my desk in the attic while I frantically write a second habeas petition for a client I got released once already two months ago who was detained by ICE this morning

Imagine seeking help from an employment specialist and it's this freaking guy

The EPA is no longer trying to keep lead, mercury, arsenic, and toxic pesticides out of your water but they are going to start trying to stop you from accessing safe, potentially lifesaving, medications

there has got to be a way to communicate to youtube that i only want to see videos in search results from reputable sources. like when i type in "heceta head lighthouse" i only want videos made by OPB or the oregon park rangers or similar. i don't want "mattsdroneadventures" or "ghosthunter98"

This is part of why I think "Abolish ICE" will be a lighter lift than people expect, especially if your goal is "make the immigration system function the way people assume it does when polled"

The paperwork from Aktion T4 is widely available on the internet - if you are into genealogy, you may discover (as I did) that you had a relative who was murdered when the Nazis liquidated what we would now call long term care facilities. anyway probably something worth remembering.

The current state of AI coding agents is nearly indistinguishable from an unteachable junior dev who can prototype very quickly but has zero idea how to create anything maintainable

heck yeah, let's go.

A real tweet written by a real human promoting a real article in The Atlantic. These people are chickens for Colonel Sanders. Will literally destroy themselves for "the scoop" and access.

Instead of stressing yourself out about things over which you have no control...might I suggest educating yourself about Masayuki Sanada instead?

Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoe theory

The Gojo shirt really brings it all together imo

if you want people to participate in democracy, and I cannot emphasize this enough, you must demonstrate that democracy will give them an opportunity to influence outcomes. refusal to hold accountable the most nakedly criminal administration in history, despite overwhelming outcry, breeds nihilism.

A frustrating moment in #MTPOL, @aoc.bsky.social has stepped into the MT congressional primaries to back a losing horse and keep the progressive vote split so the okay-at-best Gallego-endorsed establishment pick will win. But don't take my word for it: www.instagram.com/p/DXpDlNHkQ1E/

Planet Cuomo is trying to buy another election. Didn’t they learn anything the first time? If Cuomo’s enablers (and Stringer jfc) are behind a certain candidate, it’s a solid red flag, and voters should take note. If you live in NYC Council District 3, vote for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social tomorrow!

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Current work annoyance: Microsoft Word sucks arse, and not in a fun way.

my fav so far is some random ass account with a pepe pfp registered an account in 2013, posted only the name “cole allen” to never again log on & it’s going as incredibly as one might expect with the qanon crowd

This clip is from the un-aired portion of Trump's interview with CBS 60 Minutes. He claimed Democrats wanted to hug him after the shooting. Then Norah O'Donnell asked Trump about conspiracy theories surrounding the shooting. He couldn't imagine where they came from.

Families here REALLY need the kindness of those in other communities to come through as much as we can in order to weather some of what we've been through here.

who are these people? i made the family go on a nightly walk around the neighborhood for two weeks before i agreed to take a day trip to a nearby state park, because i knew if we didn’t, we’d get missioned killed by foot blisters 10 minutes in

one thing i've been struck by at the no kings protests i've attended is how they try to get some group singing going--and how flat it falls. this is because they are transplanting a *tactic* from the CRM without understanding the social context it emerged from. a corrective, from thomas ricks:

Pathetic.

r/tacticalgear is a hilarious subreddit because every time the G-men get photographed the subreddit is flooded with posts like "What kind of pouch is that and where can I buy it?"

Always post like it's gonna be read back to you in court, which means make sure it's the funniest shit you can imagine an opposition lawyer having to ask you to explain

And what a convenient coincidence that their de-grifter of choice is also an advocate of the wildly abusive Troubled Teen industry that preys on autistic kids

the administration that ran on a platform of “political violence kicks ass and we’re gonna do a ton of it” and the media representatives who enthusiastically normalize and promote it would once again like the nation to unite in condemnation of political violence lacking their seal of approval

I hate all of you for making me hear "Marxist Caeser Papist fusion" to the ninja turtles theme

In another sign that the depravity economy has no bottom, Forbes published a story about a man that killed 8 children over the weekend containing a box that asked readers to predict whether Congress would do anything about gun control. www.404media.co/forbes-predi...

I am SO BACK baby!

Who remembers when it was a glorious national purge post-Kirk, the gloves were REALLY off, and they got, uh... like eight and a half people fired, nationwide?

Tired: Trump is staging fake assassination attempts. Wired: Trump and his allies have so thoroughly hollowed out the secret service hunting for wokeness and leakers that they can't even stop random dipshits with long guns from getting within spitting distance of the god damn President.

It is however definitively true at this point that the insurgent liberal base negative reaction to their leadership's support of Israel is about Palestinians and to a secondary level about what Israel is doing to other non-Jews, in other words it is in fact values driven

basically every single one of those accounts specifically tells you to attend as many protests as you can and get involved in local government if possible

the gloves are OFF. this is WAR. at 9am we are going to file a MOTION TO DISMISS your LAWSUIT about the PRESIDENT'S BALLROOM

The thing about Schmittian politics and rhetoric is it's kind of impossible to go beyond "my political foe is an existential threat to my way of life" once you reach that point and repeating it ad nauseum for every culture war skirmish means it loses it's impact quickly.

Political violence does not solve anything and actually denies us as a society, the ability to impose consequences on those who have violated our most basic tenets through our criminal justice system (which is also why Trump v US is *such* a corrosive ruling)
