have muppets always served in integrated units or did Truman have to integrate Muppets into white units

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

"What we need is to embrace power and to embrace responsibility for the exercise of that power. This includes everything from the sewer socialism of Zohran Mamdani to the constitutional hardball of Virginia's recent successful gerrymander." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-is-woke...

Send everyone involved in this to a gulag.

just to underline—the mass protest in Minneapolis fighting for brown people, immigrants, non-citizens—is one of the most remarkable demonstrations in favor of multi-racial democracy in US history.

Holy shit

At the root of California's perpetual budget crises is, of course, prop 13 but sitting right there next to it are the trillions of dollars of subsidies we throw at car-oriented suburbs who thank us by destroying the entire state. We should stop letting them do that.

you get: the astounding power of the supreme court of the united states of america we get: some vague modicum of ethical behavior apparently this bargain was a bridge too far, so I propose a new one, which involves impeachment and jail

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

Well, how can you not love this narrative? The plucky underdogs finally fought their way back in.

I love soccer the sport that brings me only joy and not morning tummy aches

Roots preview! Featuring more of my art that critics laud as “utterly inappropriate for public display.” oaklandrootsblog.com/2026/04/18/o...

So much of city budgets is vaporized by overtime to make cops semi-rich & by compensation for their rampant criminality & misconduct.

I really struggle with the question of how much malfeasance I’d tolerate to have my policy agenda implemented, but it’s really aggravating that for the GOP it appears to include “open theft.” I think in part because they all know he’s irreplaceable to them.

Approximately 4,000 people die in CA every year because of car crashes, 25% of which are pedestrians & bicyclists. Prioritizing safety for all road users should be a no-brainer, and the convenience of drivers shouldn’t come before the wellbeing of others. www.urbanismspeakeasy.com/p/public-inp...

I have done a lot of work to fast-track much-needed housing, and through that work I have seen another area in desperate need of streamlining: transportation projects to increase bicycle and pedestrian safety.

I for one believed this to be a Ralph Lauren ad due to the nearly identical logo and overall aesthetics. This belief made me think less of and be less inclined to purchase Ralph Lauren.

it just lifts my heart to feel heard. thanks, ICE lawyer. 💜

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Every time I walk my dog I think about how much nicer my neighborhood would be with less through-traffic and more parks. Setting aside the Oakland’s coffers aren’t overflowing, I’d be very curious to know the feasibility of turning a bunch of intersections into parks.

Approaching the 20th minute of this 10 minute delay.

My friends in other cities always text me when they see people in Oakland Roots gear, assuming I want to know. 100% of the time they are correct that I want to know.

Posted some renderings a couple weeks ago, but I just finished assembling my mini Lego Al Lang Stadium…home of the @tampabayrowdies.bsky.social. A super fun project that came out better than I even hoped.

that's ok, the Wing Gundam Zero behind him will take care of this

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

They are going to get mad at you for existing, because they don't like your politics, but importantly politics isn't about whether your feelings are hurt when people are mad at you, it's about whether you win and wield power.

My "I've never been friends with Epstein" press conference is raising many questions already answered by my press conference

The general vibe I get from my leftists students about Iran is that they just don’t see the point in protesting. It’s so incomprehensibly stupid — and so obviously unpopular — that it’s hard to see what marching will achieve.

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for collecting tolls through the Strait.

I’m relieved Trump did not destroy an entire civilization last night, but his unhinged threat and illegal war make it clear he is unfit to serve as president. Trump needs to be removed from office. And we must oppose his administration’s new $1.5 trillion budget proposal for more war.

Donald Trump illegally launched a war in which he murdered hundreds of children and likely thousands of other civilians, achieved no discernible goals, and handed the United States a stunning, unequivocal strategic defeat that massively empowers the Iranian regime and makes Americans' lives worse.

This is fair, although there's a certain quality to all of this that feels especially alarming Put it like this: I don't like being a passenger in a car with a drunk driver. I especially don't like it when he starts alternating between weepy and angry, and threatens to wrap the car around a tree

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

What am I supposed to say when I call my electeds today?

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Logging on to my silly little email job.

To do what, exactly? The House will be back on Tuesday. You, as in literally you as an individual member of the House all on your own, could force a privileged vote on impeachment (among a variety of other possible measures) and it would then get a vote no later than Thursday.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

Is today the day we should just be walking out? Like the day we’ll regret we didn’t?
