I was like 13 at the time this happened and even then it was rather ominous, but it’s insanely weird being old enough to see this for the whitewashing it is from my memories at the time. Should have been broken up by Obama, especially after the Stellar Wind revelations

Insane. Only could happen with a zealot like Paxton in place who wants to nationalize his corruption

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Breezewood, PA. I’m not sure I can call it inexplicable, but that place should be paved over.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

SCOTUS is staging a coup & we should call it that

Christ on a cracker.

I don’t understand how Dems don’t go scorched earth on this if there is even a hint of BS and bad faith here. The fact they tips off Fox about a raid and not the coming indictment suggests this is a photo op with some minor BS possibly constituting a crime no one else gets prosecuted for

Jesus. The fact that they tipped off Fox News seems like a red flag that this is bullshit.

Probably the most least deserving refugee group outside of Operation Paperclip

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Not only does the Roberts Court selectively apply the Constitution, even when they determine something is unconstitutional, they selectively decide when that matters

This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*

Epstein Class solidarity at work: Texas AG Ken Paxton fought to lower the sentence for a multiple-time pedophile (and friend of his) from a felony and life in prison to thirty days in county and two misdemeanors. For "years of molestation." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Oh boy here we go

once again the unbelievable arrogance of roberts et al is going to genuinely destructive effects on the entire country

It means he’s black. God I hate this so much. Tired of this Woodrow Wilson level racism

Realizing the guy who shot Larry Flynt was a white supremecist serial killer and was likely the direct inspiration for the “sequel” to the Turner Diaries really contextualizes how much violence was there. Oh and that there is a clear connection to “The Order” as well.

i write about white supremacist violence for a living. i’ve been writing a lot lately about white supremacist violence during the years of the civil rights movement and placing these things in context together has really changed the way i understand that history.

Jesus Christ. Roberts and the right wing court absolutely have been on this crusade. Should never have let alito or robert’s anywhere near the court

It was as weird seeing local landmarks get shut down, and thinking “why would these guys waste very limited resources blowing up Tower City.” It was instructive in ways I didn’t understand for another 10 years.

He might as well just shout “white power”

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Impossible to understand the Suprme Court's Voting Rights Act case without the context that John Roberts has spent his entire career working to gut the VRA. As a Reagan DOJ staffer, he made the *same arguments* the Court just embraced. He lost then; he won today. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/john-...

Here we go….

In case people didn’t know: This is the leading scholar behind the very first big legal challenge to Obamacare, and is now among the leading theorists supporting Donald Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship as spelled out in the 14th Amendment. There’s probably a throughline there.

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

Obviously it does not matter to the people who think he's a business genius, but Trump not understanding percentages gives an indication of just how much actual work he's done managing his own businesses

It really isn't fair to expose Alex Jones to Tim Heidecker like this, the media equivalent of giving a medieval peasant Doritos.

lol this joker should look at Ohio 1.

Coffee boy gets a payout for his lying.

We Need Your Help

Once again, we put the dumbest people in charge of everything. Just world class idiots who want to revive imagined versions of history that run headlong into the lessons it teaches about the thing that has killed more people in wars than all bullets or swords: communicable diseases.

If there is one thing that strengthens any military it is falling victim to easily preventable diseases

Her daughter caught measles at 6 months old. She didn’t start showing SSPE symptoms until she was 10 years old. Measles isn’t benign. It just knows how to hide for a while. How horrible

You also need to learn to let go a bit of your fear. Most people just want to make kids happy, even if a bit awkwardly, and relaxing your anxiety around those interactions will really open the world to you.

I need to periodically remind my fellow Bluesky users that you do not need to use the screenshot of my "eat something stupid" tweet, I migrated the post over here years ago: bsky.app/profile/acti...

Important stuff here from @davidkurtz.bsky.social. Trump isn’t a normal president getting upended by business cycles and trends outside his control. All the challenges/crises facing the US economy today are unequivocally the results of Trumps actions talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Pope: “war bad” Thinnest skinned men alive: how dare you impugn our honor and right to murder brown people.

it's so funny that the united states government is schisming despite not actually being part of the church

Vance’s actual position on the war is clear: Whatever helps me become president is what I believe in.

real long shot here but if you have any idea why melania is suddenly talking about epstein, reach me on signal at marisakabas.04 anonymity fully protected

Do we know what 14th century weapon was leveled at the Vatican representative? Hoping arquebus for comedic effect, but mace more likely

Hall of fame FT correction

Trump's whole strategy with Iran was to break the "rules" and kill their leaders. He assumed that would scare everyone else into submission. Instead Iran said, "No rules? OK, then we'll close the Strait and fling missiles at every oil facility within 2400 miles. How many Patriots you got left?"
