knowing a lot abt music is awesome bc the answer to most questions like "who invented this thing?" is very often "Black musicians in the Midwest"

Anyone who is saying Hasan Piker is a problem, is actually the problem.

If you really want to game out the confrontation, taking this last point seriously is how Congress can force a president from office even if supermajorities are unobtainable. The power of the purse is the ultimate power. Not one dime for a tyrant, demand he resign or else *nothing* gets funded.

Anything can happen in this world. We really know very little.

Every day I type a post into the little post writing box here and then I erase it. Then I see more news and I type it again and erase it. I wish I could tell you what it was, but here's the great news... you already know!

What a beautiful moment.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

Love seeing this because it means if the democrats don’t go with the obvious choice here they have to look us all in the eye and say they prefer losing to progress

p75 and p90 JavaScript bytes on the web have exploded since May, 2025—easily the largest 10 month period based on HTTP Archive data since 2023. The long-tail is getting worse, very quickly. Gemini, what happened in May 2025?

Dems need to hold the line. The idea of ICE being put airports and cause harm to the entire air travel industry is so dangerous and stupid, but every place people have been forced to see the agency’s work up-close they realize it needs to be abolished. This is the domestic version of attacking Iran.

This level of wealth inequality is ripping us apart as citizens who share common experiences and are equals in contributing to the democratic life of our nation. We need a FDR moment for the New Gilded Age.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

We'll miss ya Badge, rest easy gal!

Public opinion is not fixed. And it's the job of a campaign to move people.

I used to think the death penalty is bad, but I've revised my opinion. It's bad when it's applied to the common people for "common" crimes because of the very real possibility of false conviction. But there's no risk of that when you are prosecuting a public official for something they did publicly.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage. Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.

100 States. 100 Justices (9-15 chosen by lottery for any case). 1000 Representatives. The three most serious problems in 🇺🇸 politics - Senate malapportionment, the Wizards in Robes, & gerrymandering - all mostly fixable w/o constitutional amendments* [*We can quibble about specific numbers 👆]

This is an enraging, heartbreaking story.

Impeach Trump

Stop trying to go back and reset the clock. First of all, time machines don't exist, so you're not going back. Second of all, even if time machines did exist, I would stop you before you ever got in that machine and touched that button. Just no. Our best days are in front of us.

it’s important to keep caring about how things work and how they’re built

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

"From joining Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to endorsing Mamdani to her comments in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez keeps showing prescience and depth. Perhaps the right woman is staring right in front of us, and we should embrace her leadership." newrepublic.com/article/2065...

Having to use Ticketmaster to see a band you like feels like I got tricked by an old witch.

We are on the brink of like 90% literal state media

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

aside from Kermit sounding like he had a frog in his throat, the new Muppet show was really good and an earnest continuation of the original series. would love to see more.

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Agree on all points. Detroiters is also a complete joy. This is one of the best things I've read on The Chair Company. apple.news/AY4wnVpFRT_i...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Man, Phil in the Groundhog Day movie bought so much insurance on the day that didn't reset. What a mess that must've been to sort out.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march
