We keep to the old ways here

For a lot of reasons, I do not think people understand how awful the tensions between labor and capital were that berthed, through mostly conservative midwifery, the modern welfare state lol

The funny thing about kicking Elon out of the club is all the fully stupid shit was getting blamed on him.

It’s close to sharpie hurricane, bleach covid, and empty folders.

Federalism, ultimately, is a compact. The current federal government is breaking it

I think this is probably right on the law. But I also think the states should pass these laws anyway.

Weird that, really, only white people respond to adverse economic circumstances by embracing racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Anyway

As the poll numbers get worse and more and more of the elite institutions (belatedly) catch up, it’s going to get more and more deranged as an old man clings desperately to power

Now here’s one I agree with

My brothers , prepare to learn Yacht Rock

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social

Probably worth asking RFK at some point if he thought it was cool that his family let a guy dig around his aunts brain with an ice pick because she was autistic.

"It's better to have a dead mom than a kid with autism" is a fucking insane position for anyone to take.

So we learned today from medical experts Trump and RFK Jr that people in CA are more likely to get autism and Amish people are immune but I’m not sure what happens if an Amish person goes to CA.

I deeply want off this ride

Again, none of this is based on any fact lmao

This all unscientific bullshit and it would be fantastic if the media didn’t play along

*building a sign* *putting lights around it*

Tbf the popular vote thing (and residual covid brain) did a lot of damage to them

The court’s legitimacy has always rested on their impartiality. That impartiality lent itself to a relative deference from “politics” — but as the court makes more and more obvious that they are not , in fact, impartial or neutral, that legitimacy is quickly eroding.

I’ve been saying this. A follow on to this should be that the House of Lords also sealed its own fate by continuing to obstruct the will of the people in their own favor, even when it was explicitly obvious that it was going to happen!

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

This is true, but it’s also important to note that the underlying question (Humphreys) is a Republican legacy project that goes back to the Movement and Nixon.

Loooool

This is why I chaffe at “pack the court” as the shibboleth. We need to drastically curtail the power of the court.

As a side note — if they do nuke it, Dems should, without reservation, fire every single Trump appointee

This is one of my pet peeves in politics reporting. This is the equivalent of publishing “Mike Gundy thinks Oregon will regret NIL spending” as fact

The way to read this is they spent the weekend getting yelled at by healthcare lobby and Red state Republicans

A few shit things go along with this: - it leads to professors making a bunch of assumptions about their students abilities - the amount of racism I’ve seen from professors about accusing students of cheating already - cheating on homework isn’t new, you’re just noticing more

I mean grading is the solution. Fuck around and find out. My (somewhat reactionary) stance to this kind of panic is to say that we spend way too much time being paternal about this stuff. College students are adults. They need to learn the hard way sometimes.

Because it’s about kicking black men out of the club

Steve Smith Jr is disgusted at the jets and it owns

The Jets

The eagles cannot keep getting away with this

It was here on the site owned and operated by a guy who does Nazi salutes for Lols

Nate Silver Stop Huffing Your Own Farts Challenge

Huh

Today in: inventing things to be presumptively mad about:

It’s really unclear how deluded he really is yeah

I don’t really like him, but the weirdest dumbest people on this website let him live so rent free in their heads in the weirdest, dumbest ways possible

I think this is mostly right, but also in a way mass politics (and broadly having to or having agency) is a relatively new phenomena in human history.

Actually hot take by the same factors that created Iron and Rye is effectively the Republican Party’s coalition now. Silicone and Car Dealerships.

I need people to actually read history

Loooool Shutdown is back on the menu boys

I think a lot of people who post about revolution and protest are, effectively, the equivalent of a dudes yelling at offensive playcallers because they play madden

All I mean to say is that a lot of people who post a lot of revolutionary rhetoric are undoubtedly going to turn out to be much more cowardly than a suburban lib mom.

My thing about this that while her gross affair with a subject is deffo a huge ethics breach, her bigger ethics breach was that she wrote a fictional story about Joe Bidens health while, carrying on this undisclosed affair, with a man still running against him for president.
