Musk’s perverse pay-go ‘verification’ system continues to create situations like this

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-... #EpsteinFiles

Wow. Republican Rep Kevin Kiley tells reporters in a virtual press conference that not only will he run as an independent in CA-6, but he will officially be an independent for the remainder of his current term in Congress, @melodykloepfer.bsky.social reports.

Spring forward is like: Ah yes, 715. The perfect time for an afternoon nap.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

we used to have Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Mike Pensions, Gary Literacy, Pete Socialsafetynet,

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Would you hate a country that dropped a bomb on your child's school? 🤔 Asking for a friend!

One of my Platner takes is he didn’t organically emerge from any movement or organization. He’s just an individual who has “beliefs” or whatever. He’s another brand amongst brands. If elected, capital won’t even have to pry him from any working class movement that could hold him to account

This is for real crazy.

Hegseth declares flat 9 sus 4 chords a supply chain threat.

A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

The thing is it's every young soccer player's dream to rise high enough to be used as a political prop by a fascist. Or at the very least an authoritarian populist.

Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin

Mark(exasperated sigh)Wayne Mullin is one of the dumbest public figures I can remember in my lifetime. He rarely opens his mouth but to find his foot in it. It's insane how shallow the bench of team trump is. If I had no morals I feel like I could just call up and offer my services.

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined

Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD

And, the story of the mystery man. www.lawdork.com/p/lamberth-c...

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike. University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections. NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...

Anti-trans panic is being used to smuggle in an assumption that kids are not credible witnesses of their own internal lives. That assumption doesn't just hurt trans kids, but will be weaponized against gay kids, sexual abuse victims, and kids suffering mental health issues.

Crazy that he started a war so beneficial to electric car drivers.

What hegseth is looking at right now:

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

wishing a very SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN to all other anti-trans Democrats nervously looking ahead to their own primaries

He talked a big game about manufacturing to then not even manufacture consent.

No lies detected.

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

it's also, as @diplomatofnight.com has pointed out, pretty rare for a foreign power's goals to be to completely eliminate any and all officials that might theoretically be able to govern. less regime change than an aim for total collapse and anarchy.

who made this

Why is Democratic Leadership taking money from AIPAC after all this?

Welp. 👀

Pretty stable opinion on the Iran strikes. No rally around the flag bump for POTUS, and much less popular than previous wars when they started www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-trum...

This isn't just about antisemitism at this point.

Three F-15s were shot down on one day! Why aren't Democrats attacking the incompetence and chaos of the conflict? Why aren't they calling for hearings? Voters are primed to see Trump as chaotic and out of control but Democrats become incredibly timid over anything involving military conflict.

I think we make a mistake when we let kids buy Slytherin and Empire merch at the theme parks. Those shouldn't be a fun personality type choice that everyone is free to make. This isn't pro wrestling.

The chairman of the Board of Peace bombed the Gandhi hospital. Process that.

There is literally no justification for this unconstitutional attack on a sovereign nation.
