Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

There’s more of us than there are of them. They can’t control us. They can’t stop us from voicing our dissent. Thugs and thuggery is not a winning future, even if they think so. See you at No Kings.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

The Supreme Court's Republican appointees sound ready to transform the 14th and 15th Amendments into a weapon against the very racial minorities they were meant to protect—handing Republicans 15-19 additional House seats in the process. A disaster for democracy. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

Very importantly correct

Don Winslow I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests. A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras. This is a VERY smart idea.

I do not want to see a Supreme Court justice’s face on cable news, period

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

Kristi Noem was unaware that the suspension of habeas corpus was under Article I of the Constitution and even if the fate of the most basic liberty right were delegated one would hope that it would be to the President and not the Secretary of Homeland Security

Weird how that didn’t make the cut.

There is still some good news out there. Well deserved!

Once again @nytimes.com heds and subheds are failing to convey to readers what is actually happening. The casual reader will come away with the impression that this is a genuinely held rationale on Trump's part, rather than a corrupt pretext for lawless, authoritarian threats.

Bryan Stevenson is a moral ballast to help keep us upright during our current stormy seas.

Ubisoft: "Okay, so in this game you fight the Klan" Marketers: "You can't sell that in America" Ubisoft: "Why?" Marketers: "Umm [gestures broadly]. The Klan fucking won?" Ubisoft: "Merde." Marketers: "Yeah, we've asked for the Statue back but they're being dicks about that too."

This is why Dems’ legalistic framing—like at Bondi’s hearings—can feel so inadequate. “Show me the statute” is a trap when SCOTUS can rewrite law. More effective opposition comes through the language of morality and documented harm—not legal claims that can be swept away with a 6-3 vote.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

Mike Johnson argues against the private insurance system.

Time to bake these guys some cookies, show some empathy, and remind them that they are being deployed for a corrupt mission.

From my own upbringing: - PB & Miracle Whip is much better than PB & Mayo - It's best served with a leaf of iceberg - Served w/MW & lettuce, it's still called, "Peanut butter, lettuce, & mayo" Linda sends her regards from the creamy, eggy, oily gates.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

i have personally despised bari weiss for a long time, her book was incoherent garbage, and to see her rewarded with the plum of the profession while the smartest people i know are scraping for dollars is gross as hell

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Telegram is still on the App Store after being linked to multiple mass shootings.

These people hate our country. They hate Americans and have declared war on our constitution and freedoms. They should repent and resign

Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?

It took 20 years to go from Dan Rather to Bari Weiss.
