Not only am I not paying for Part 2, Ryan Lizza, I am seriously reconsidering whether to read anything at all ever again

Good morning. This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

RFK Jr definitely has a type

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

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.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Just a reminder that you don't have to buy your glasses from this absolute fucking idiot.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

“I by no means think that punk should be uniformly one thing,” Casey tells Rolling Stone in an exclusive interview. “But the punk that I was raised to listen to, it should be speaking up against abuses in the government.”

AI is like that time I woke up and found a U2 album I didn't ask for on my iPod. I don't want it. I didn't ask for it. Leave me alone.

Prof. @adambonica.bsky.social: “View in the editorial is that Dems must accept the political battlefield as is & find messengers who can best navigate that terrain. It’s a strategy of accommodation—one that asks how to win w/in constraints of a system many voters believe is fundamentally rigged.”

"You can't cancel me!" says grumpy middle-aged man 99.997% of the American public has never heard of

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza. But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news. It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Holy shit they are just straight up admitting they believe people who express anti-Kirk opinions are in danger of physical violence

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Enough said.
