Hey you stupid fuck how much is the state department paying you to equate Cuba’s situation for its citizens to how Israel is treating Palestinians @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Liberals will think the Fasc are referring to us as the “left” all the way to their bunk at the leftist camp

One day we will unmask these thugs in the courts, god willing, and their crocodile tears will taste like mana from heaven

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

Every ice agent will pay for what they’ve done. The trials will never end, and they will deserve every minute of time they spend behind bars. I would be willing to prosecute for exactly one kind of case, and it’d be for ice accountability.

David Cross folks.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

He is literally asleep at the wheel

Stormtroopers with nothing better to do that wait around for someone doing actual work to try and disappear them

the other half of this that I've never really gotten over: this all but explicitly amounts to valorizing being "asleep". people are really out here wielding "I have no idea what's going on, historically speaking" as a credential

John Brown was the first American convicted of treason and hanged for trying to trying to start an armed slave revolt. Confederate General Robert E Lee was indicted for treason but never even brought to trial.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

we must abolish ICE

Just a reminder that in the Los Angeles ICE case, Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence played up the extent to which those *not* properly subject to immigration arrest were detained "briefly" and released "promptly." www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-177-... That wasn't true in L.A., and it isn't true here.

Of course they wanted to “rule” Boston - they demanded escaped slaves were to be returned to them, no matter how many Bostonians said no. They also wanted slavery to remain legal AND accepted everywhere. Yarvin is incredibly stupid. So naturally, he’s the intellectual vanguard of American fascism.

"Reacting violently to an increasingly critical North, crats led the South out of the Union in 1861...But in time, the realities of death, wounds, and suffering families caused the white underclass to question its role in a war fought so that aristocrats might own slaves."

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

Why would Ishmael agree to this??

you cannot sit motionless in the heart of these perils

genuinely crying at this one

Give Issac Chotiner subpoena power

Do you know this man? Is he your neighbor? Uncle? Cousin? Brother? He’s a fascist and you should expose him.

No reason

Cannot take any of this seriously. Refuse to take any of it seriously.

We're all assuming they're dead right? Like that's what we're thinking here?

chotiner’s real gift is very quickly revealing how many powerful and influential people are complete morons. Sunstein is asked about his friendship with Kissinger and it’s pretty clear that he’s never really thought about it.

NPR is never getting another dollar from me. They have fallen prey to “present both sides equally” “journalism” and have for some time. Their credibility is shot, their journalists, any real ones remaining, should openly rebel. This is capitulation to Anti-science hysteria

Cass Sunstein 9/10ths of the way done with his Chotiner interview

Isaac, sarcastically: Next time people talk about Kissinger and his war crimes, I’ll mention he’s not all bad because he liked his friend’s book on Star Wars Cass: Yeah, you get it

Jesus 4 hours of my day blocked out now

The Trump admin is going to do what Russia and Hungary have done, dismantle liberal civil society to ensure that the only power centers that remain are either the autocrat himself or those aligned with him. It's about eliminating independent centers of political power from academia to the media.

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

See all SCOTUS opinions on affirmative action and voting rights acts; they have wanted to roll it all back since the beginning. They’re racists; they’re fascists; they will lose

Daily reminder that fascism is here

We’re really going to have to explain to our kids that we turned down free energy just so a few more old guys could use dinosaur bones to pad their bank accounts with zeros.

“Look, I just hold the basic position that led to this exact moment of transphobia, vitriol, and fascistic fervor; what’s so bad about that?”

3) when did the bar to earn our votes become "not quite as bad as the literal worst option"? were dems entitled to votes simply by virtue of not being quite as terrible as the other guys? or should they maybe have had to earn those votes by being actively good rather than just not actively as bad?

Lmao. Lol. This was the democratic party’s best

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

Taps the sign

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

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

I admire everyone who canceled the NY Times but there are other kinds of activism too (doing ANTIFA as my first word on days when it’s in Spelling Bee)
