Leaving to one side the amorality of this ruling, it is just another example of the Court simply ignoring the longstanding principles applicable to emergency appellate review of such decrees. The Supreme Court is simply acting at odds with the law.

What in the

Gates' subtle anti-renewables messaging, possibly related to his investments in small modular nuclear reactors, was well known, but this is next level: financially supporting a guy whose core business it is to argue for less climate action.

I think it's pretty telling that the Conservatives gave a little speech about how they're very mad at Carney's budget (as is their job) but then when it came time, they were like "oh, no notes, nothing to add".

Thread on a judge kicking fascists ass with grace and truth and law

The Supreme Court has denied the appeal of the ostrich cull, and as I wrote, the ostrich case was not about the ostriches: it was about governance, law, and biosafety. What I did not include: this will likely become even more of a shitshow when the birds are culled. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

This is city planner @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. She was the 1st whistleblower to bravely come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. 12 others joined her. Cuomo resigned as Governor. His “comeback” never should have been enabled. She earned this moment more than most.

[temple of the dog voice] Zohran Mamdani

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Who could have predicted this other than everyone?

Reading We Breed Lions by @rickwesthead.bsky.social is hard and necessary, and might even make you look at hockey a little differently. And especially in a country that rarely wants to hear bad news about hockey, it should be a reminder that we need to do better. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

A ballistic vest meant to stop a bullet “is definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich thrown at you," Sean Dunn's defense attorney argued.

He's really good at this shit. Already picturing the generation of soundalike but ultimately less-skilled politicians he'll inspire Obama-like in the next 10 years.

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT!

Fuck that guy

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

I just don't think the idiots in the Trump administration realize how much normie moms are going to be incensed at their kids teachers and caregivers being carted off—especially when daycare is so damn expensive and hard to find. It's a collision of everything people are infuriated about.

Ok, I searched for a copy of Zohran's speech so I could watch it and I love that the top Youtube link was for a FOX NEWS affiliate in TEXAS www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfdU...

When Adams wins 700k votes he's the "Future of the Democratic Party" but when Zohran wins more than a million votes its nbd

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

When he says the country, he most often just means himself

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

Just bizarre half-formed thoughts

This would be a genuine shame

That might be his biggest commonality with Obama, who also was a regular guy, but a President being black drove the right insane. Difference now might be that the right is starting from a place that is way more openly insane

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

He’s been saying that you need ID to buy groceries for years and it’s still remarkable that not enough people ever considered that, like, disqualifying on its own

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Just a great night

This person took this when they called the race

doesn't this feel great? don't you want more of that? fantastic, get your fighting shoes on

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006. They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents. The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

Summarizes what I’ve been trying to pull together in my head. Democrats basically won everywhere, high profile and low profile, usually by more than optimistic predictions

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

This is the moment that made me think he could be a huge part of the future of a new Democratic party

A New Yorker cover shouldn’t make me feel like this, but here it is, making me feel like this

They’re giving at The Democrats 2-on-0 fast breaks with Magic and Michael Jordan. They have no idea how to react on defense and their popularity has been cratering consistently for ten straight months.

There is still beauty in the world

holy shit.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Pretty, pretty good

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.

Fight. Win.

virginia democrats winning the three big offices with a cia agent, an indian muslim immigrant, and a black lawyer who loves committing terms of service violations is real 2025 democratic party moment

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.
