I wonder if in 1944 there was a law professor thinking: "Man, I wish MY work was cited in the Korematsu decision. How cool would it be to be cited in support of making 120,000+ people suffer greatly?" #Satire

Wong Kim Ark was 7-2. And that dissent was *just* white nationalism. Why is today's court less woke than the court that ultimately dropped Plessy v Ferguson? That seems bad. Is that bad?

Now that's a headline

I wrote about the continued appeal of dirtbag politics, from the left to liberals, and how only a politics of grace and edification can save our liberal democracy Dirtbagism delenda est www.liberalcurrents.com/the-dirtbags...

I understand Courtney’s advice here, but I cannot take it. I really am Spartacus, everyone. It was me. I started the Servile Wars.

Kagan makes sure that Trump’s gutter racism — and the majority hand-waiving it away — gets into the record.

Edwin wants everyone to know that he is stupid and illiterate, and that he doesn’t really care about the millions dying due to USAID cuts. Those victims were insufficiently left and deserve what happened to them.

This woman was harassed by ICE for repeating a news article about how Jonathan Ross was the agent who murdered Renee Good.

Who wants to tell Hakeem Jeffries that Mamdani would beat him by 30 points if they ran against each other lol

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

Asking for evidence of this only makes sense if today is literally someone’s first day on Bluesky and they haven’t read any posts about politics yet.

Isaac Chotiner: can you list some examples of systemic oppression green creatures face? Kermit the Frog: I’m sorry? Isaac Chotiner: well you do mention the difficulty quite a lot

Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there. May you be as joyful as my father looks with two starlings perched upon his head. Miss you, Dad. ❤️

We are digging coal

if Leo actually does formally excommunicate the heretic bishops of the Society of St. Pius X (medieval-ass sentence lmao) on July 1, he will be EXPLICITLY saying that the Vatican II denial caucus are no longer considered Catholic and that is going to be, as the people say, a spicy meatball

Actually, they call him a Nazi because he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute on national TV, is trying to start a race war in Europe, and is partially responsible for 14 million deaths due to his interference in the U.S. government. For all that, no one wants him hurt, just indicted.

historians are divided on whether trump was actually a real person, or the stories of a large series of petty tyrants over a period of perhaps 100 years whose stories got merged and blended together back when AI was unsophisticated and new

IYKYK

Man, Iran really took Trump to the cleaners. Eh?

I’ve charted American hegemony during the Iranian campaign

there just isn't a good, grounded-in-reality argument for centrism right now. you can't work with the GOP bc they're insane and consequently even modest policy requires procedural/structural radicalism like considering court packing. they lost their chance lol

"No, the President posting 'We’re going to bomb Iran’s civilian infrastructure' and then bombing Iran’s civilian infrastructure is not strong evidence of deliberate intent. Why would someone planning to break the law publicly announce that they were going to break the law?"

“Only Jewish people think that using Nazi symbols is bad (along with lying to everyone including your wife).” Yikes

My spouse used to know a professor of military history whose specialist subject was Verdun, and he was also big in the university Peace Society. People were sometimes surprised at this juxtaposition, and he would tell them a little bit about Verdun.

When someone is a dumb racist who isn’t capable of addressing the point they’re trying to reply to:

The most intellectual and secure follower of Elon Musk:

No surprise to see this from a Platner supporter. :(

Two things. 1) If your response to reading this is "leopards eating faces", you are a part of the problem. This isn't funny. No one deserves to be raped, period. 2) Tate should be put down. Any method will do.

It’ll never not be notable to me that Republicans face no consequences for calling Dem voters “animals” or worse, while calling the worst racists in the country “deplorable” was a scandal that every democrats had to answer for

Excuse me, Brendan, that’s Secretary of Manliness and Lethality, not SecDef.

Northern Ireland is 98% white. Net migration from outside the UK is running at about 5000 people per year, meanwhile, there are 16,000 non EU students in NI. The uncontrolled immigration argument is a joke and extraordinary that the Times is aligning itself with a bunch of wife beating racists.

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

Diana doesn’t know how many votes are needed in the Senate to convict in an impeachment trial. This is who (happily) supports Nazi Tattoo Guy.

Well, no shit, John.

New data reveals that New World Screwworm, a severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot, is spreading throughout Texas. This comes months after Ken Paxton supported cutting Screwworm monitoring programs.

This is the guy who spent a day complaining that people keep pointing at his own words and noticing that he’s a misogynist. Weird how that happens.

“Vote for the dirtbag [in the general], it’s important” = correct “Being a dirtbag is good and Authentic, actually” = you’re a huge asshole, and this is terrible politics too

Homie really invoking Kant like that's going to make him defending a Nazi sound better.

About #GrahamPlatner. We’ve seen this script before. The qualified woman gets passed over. The “damaged” male star gets defended. Everyone tells women to stay quiet for the greater good. We won’t stay quiet. Not now. Not ever. 🎧 Shitlist by L7.

A bunch of people are telling me I have no business having an opinion on Platner because I know nothing about Maine. That’s not right. I’ve had a lobster roll. I’ve been to places that stink of fish. I have several friends like @gregdoucette.bsky.social who can’t talk right.

“Prosocial and a little nuts” definitely. captures at least one category. See also:

Oh it's OK, we had hyperconcentration of income and wealth in the top .1% in the 1920s too and that economy never stopped roaring.

In case anyone wanted an example of someone who smoked a *ton* of crack and then decided to post on Bluesky:

Goddamn! He’s probably responding to one of those idiots who is upset that Rage Against the Machine got political.
