This is so racist it needs a new category of racism to describe it but it's also stupid and pointless. You simply cannot purge the celebration of Black people and their accomplishments from this country in favor of celebrations of a dying pedophile. It's literally not a thing he's capable of doing.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

cannot stress enough how bad it is to give teenage boys a "see this person naked" button. massive, multi-axis disaster

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

THIS. THIS, THIS, THIS, THISSY THIS. Ultimately, the story here isn't Olivia Nuzzi, but the incredibly insular and dysfunctional Beltway Media cult that shapes so much of our political coverage.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.

six years ago when i posted making fun of ‘santacon goyim’ all these chud accounts blew up my notifications for ages saying ‘merry christmas’ and it took me like two weeks to realize they meant it as like…a slur. like i kept thinking aw that’s nice! thank you!

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

This is really important and also great

What an interesting coincidence.

The Republican Party really only has one core principle now: Everything the government does must either benefit Donald Trump and his allies or punish his enemies.

I don't think transgender athletes are the problem facing girls and women in sports.

again, the supreme court did not write the constitution (or the declaration) and—despite what you may think—they don't have the monopoly on the interpretation of those documents. the people have a say, and if the court is out of step with the people, that's a problem for the court, not the governed

This is funny barrel-scraping from Fox News because Stacy's been making this joke for months and they're finally like "Let's try to get some outrage about this!"

Yeah. All of the strikes have been just as illegal as if Iran sunk a Disney cruise because it suspected passengers carried weed. But this one is so blatant—helpless survivors on an already-damaged ship—that it's impossible to fabricate any rationale. It's a crack worth widening.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

Even in the context of a drug cartel, President Trump fawns over the elites and screws the working man.

"Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones."

What? A Trump supporter? Moved to violence by the president's conspiracy theories? Well, I never.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

"Purity test' ....Party standard-bearers still use the phrase as a slur to trivialize legitimate questions from the left. It’s a petty and defensive move, and it comes across as a refusal to engage with the most obvious and urgent questions facing the country." newrepublic.com/article/2039...

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

I said this would be the Republican justices play. Let Texas use the racist maps now. Later they’ll say it’s “too late” to change them.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

The Supreme Court of the United States is an illegitimate body, and every Democrat should run on negating and replacing it

I'll be honest: I do not care if these artists ever get paid. You perform at the Trumpified Kennedy Center, you should expect to get the full Trump treatment (which often means that you're getting screwed over).

"In a just world, where the career of a political pundit was somehow tied to his ability to analyze politics, this would be an extinction-level event for these morons."

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

An inconvenient truth for Dan Bongino

Trump has been played over and over again by Putin. From the summit in Alaska, to the 28-point plan that was a Trojan Horse for Putin's demands, to today — he has betrayed the cause of freedom in Ukraine. We all want peace. He is prolonging the war and the suffering.

NPR's Michel Martin speaks with Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who came to the U.S. from Somalia, about President Trump's racist tirade against Somali immigrants. n.pr/4oxkCha

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes. Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

When all is done, the OU undergrad will have scored a 6 figure right-wing media contract, the higher ed press will still be talking about grading rubrics for conservative views, the trans grad student will still be getting death threats and have her life/job ruined. And everyone else will move on.

The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
