Trump can’t defeat Iran but he can go after Pete Seeger’s boat.

A petition has been launched, stating, "We, the Irish dancing community, voice our unequivocal support for transgender dancers". Read 👉 buff.ly/rIn57fX #GCNnews

Not that it would be good, or something I want. Only that “rooting out entrenched fascism in a wealthy country WITHOUT violence” would be more of a historical anomaly than the inverse.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

come on now @rephaleystevens.bsky.social

I know his term only has 6 months left, but Colorado Dems should impeach and remove Polis anyway

“lost $33K on a stupid Trump memecoin scheme and blames Democrats for it” I think we did it team, I think we found Peak MAGA Guy

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

Our Constitution bans foreign emoluments and names bribery as an impeachable offense. Another case where the problem isn’t the Constitution.

*sigh*

I understand the rule, i understand why it’s there. I’m saying that the officiating of the rule, especially for fractional differences that don’t actually the play, aren’t called on the field, and cannot be seen with the naked eye without slow motion stills and AI reconstructions… is bad

Describe the economy in a single sentence

I feel like portraying it as a fringe theological dispute between catholic sects over the 2nd vatican council and finger pointing over who's a heretic, rather than as a conflict with a fringe far right sect that says Jews are going to hell and Muslims are rapists hides the general interest aspect.

america has a fun shortage and it's important we talk about it (decline in third spaces, etc etc)

Unlike the defendants, one of the Prarieland judges is part of an organized cell of extremists: defector.com/unlike-the-d...

The difference between now and the 80s and 90s though is that there's so much less public space and every square inch of it is surveilled by a much larger, trigger happy militarized police force

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

The image here borrows its title from Grant's 1868 presidential campaign slogan, "Let us have peace." Here's what Frederick Douglass had to say about that sentiment.

I guess the Celtics are bad now. Why did they decide to get old and expensive? How do you lose a trade with the Sixers?!

What's happening with old people in Congress is really EGREGIOUS. The public is being kept in the dark: people.com/mitch-mcconn...?

When I was 13, my grandparents gave me stock in Hershey’s candy as a bar mitzvah gift because I liked candy. I had to sell it this year when I married an FDA employee. Because, as we all know, the federal government is very concerned about financial conflicts of interest.

jd vance is the only person who watched the 2015 film spotlight and decided to both convert to catholicism AND get a job covering up for a paedophile

Boggles the mind that the entire world saw ICE execute defenseless people in the street and somehow there are still sitting Democrats who have a wide open flank on abolishing the agency

The Most Centrist Democrat is on board with SCOTUS reform. This is a good sign.

I've got centrist Dems in all my networks wetting their pants about DSA, party rifts, and Israel... and I'm constantly like "Maybe coming out strong against the fucking Gestapo and getting rid of it is really just a thing voters are interested in?"

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

I'm not sure most people realize that their citizenship *is* birthright. They view their birth certificate as their de facto proof of citizenship but if you ask them "are you a birthright citizen" they'd probably say "no." There *is* no other authoritative document in the United States.

Schumer saying, "it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then," and then just radio silence when it comes to SCOTUS deciding trans teens shouldn't be allowed to play sports with their friends... it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Nothing bad in the United States is ever over, including constitutional things. These were the same arguments rejected over a century ago, and they'll be back again and we'll have to kill them again. Con law is basically about shotgunning zombies. rarely do you get a headshot.

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

Media & Democratic Elite: After striking down most of Articles 1-3, Amendments 1, 4, 8, 10, 14.3, 14.4, 15, 24, 25, Supreme Court upheld 14.1, so everyone can go home now, our institutions are holding. Long live John Roberts! We are so smart and good!!! Rest of US: What is wrong with you people?!?

I know we feel the need from left to center left to take the wins where we get them but a 5-4 decision on the literal plain text of the Constitution is absurd and this means we have to cripple the court, permanently, period, end of story.

Supreme Court upholding birthright citizenship: good. Supreme Court upholding birthright citizenship 5-4 instead of 9-0: terrifying.

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

They're plundering the national treasury.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

There is a lot of value in NYT readers learning about far-right-extremist who have inspired & led terror against US, but there is no value in a transcript of a friendly conversation that launders them, helps them cause more harm.

Sometimes you gotta think about all the people who were absolutely prepared to execute this guy in spite of this.

This is an absolutely terrible idea that will backfire enormously on any state foolish enough to fall for it.

Is there any info on the ICE agents? Because from the outside, I googled her and she's Black. And FROM MY PERSPECTIVE it seems like they thought she was a hijabi. That doesn't make it ok. But if my gut is right, it's another reminder that our liberation is bound up in each other.

I wish it were more broadly understood that Trump constantly and explicitly holds up his naked corruption *as a badge of honor* that his supporters are supposed to thrill to (and see benefit for themselves in). He thinks corruption is the highest form of winning.

I wrote about the smug hypocrisy of Stephen Miller, the pointless cruelty of Donald Trump, and the shame I feel at seeing America become a whites-only refuge. www.theredoubt.net/america-is-n...

But whatever we do, there must first and foremost be accountability. We take back everything that was stolen. We make amends and reparations to the extent possible. We unseat everyone who has allowed this to happen.

I do not think ANY of the decisions of this court are legitimate no matter whether some lawyers like how they ruled or not. It's the fruit of a poisonous tree. Gotta uproot the whole thing.

We should adopt a Constitutional amendment vacating all of its decisions without stopping to consider which are good and which are bad; that will only cause delay. The new expanded court can rehear whatever's in question again.

this is absolutely the case and an additional reason the SC is illegitimate.
