Roberts Court doing the judicial equivalent of “we can’t consider a Supreme Court nominee in January, it’s an election year” and “of course we’ll confirm a Supreme Court nominee in October of an election year when voting is already underway.” Deeply bad faith. Liars whose only principle is power.

Same energy:

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

Can't remember which jabroni was talking about it being myopic that people are pushing for SCOTUS reform, but here's a sitting justice showing up on Fox & Friends lmao

To say out loud TO BILL MAHER

Karl Rove's advice was to always accuse your opponent of having your weakness, Republicans have really stuck to that

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

Farmers are coded "working class" as rural white people, even though they own their means of production. Meanwhile, I have a PhD and teach at a liberal arts college, so no one will ever call me working class, even though I earn a lot less and depend on wages. It's gendered vibes, all the way down.

May the 4th be with you.

I listened to Kelly's conversation with Rebecca Solnit and I recommend it. I was particularly struck with what Solnit says here: truthout.org/audio/hope-i...

One of the many ways that paying attention to politics makes you feel like you're going insane is that it's hugely controversial to claim that the most recent SCOTUS decision was entirely about helping Republicans win elections, and meanwhile the President keeps screaming it at the top of his lungs.

Will y'all stand with us? Will y'all make good trouble with us? They are banking on y'all shruggin' and whatnot.

The second point cannot be emphasized enough. Guiliani put the command center in WTC against the advice of experts, and as a result of his horny incompetence, the city's command center was obliterated in the worst terrorist attack on NYC and its response suffered. But he got good photos so...

Good example of how stupid the conservative intellectual interpretation of 20th century US history is; in the 1960s there was a beautiful, brave, heroic movement to end racism which completely succeeded by 1965, at which point the activists all instantly became race-communists and welfare queens.

Rudy Giuliani did absolutely everything he could for Donald Trump, destroyed his reputation for him, only to be discarded and abandoned, and now as he’s dying used for Trump’s preening. That’s destiny for you.

Recession tornado siren.

WHO putting their Doctor right on it.

It wasn't just the media. Republicans erased the distinction and rewrote it themselves. But yes, it's amazing that she said "half are good people, half are deplorable racists" and a lot of them said "for the record, I'm deplorable, I'm one of the racists"

Nothing has ever been more For Me than the National Association of Letter Carriers marching in the Mayday parade with anti-war banners

the 2024 election was probably the easiest combined morality/IQ test ever created and yet so many Americans not only failed it, but are now acting like they’re the victims after doing so

what makes the SCOTUS Gang of Six acting as an unaccountable super-legislature especially intolerable is that they are not just setting up unfavorable rules, they are playing Calvinball where they selectively apply the rules case-by-case exclusively to help Republicans. A judicial dictatorship

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

The PHILADELPHIA 76ers did what?!?!

A Boston sports team crashing out is its own reward, but a nice little bonus is how it makes all the worst people in sports media really upset

literally a video of the AG confirming a selective prosecution. defense is going to have a pretty easy time with this.

Its very telling that we are 45 years on from Lee Atwaters infamous "southern strategy" quote where he spells out quite directly exactly what the language games Republicans were playing were in terms of the thin veil around their racist intentions & news media is still willfully oblivious to that

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Around minute 94 of THE MUPPET MOVIE (1979), during the closing credits, we see Miss Piggy speaking briefly to Janice in the screening room, and the film finally passes the Bechdel Test.

I love my team

Embiid doing this -- calmly getting to his unguardable spots, making the right reads to teammates when slasher film double teams come running at him, summoning all the rim protection juice he has left -- in a G7 in Boston a few weeks after emergency surgery. I'm proud of and in love with our guy.

I know times are bad but think about how many Boston teams haven’t won championships this year

I knew the Sixers would win bc Joel Embiid's statline played the song

WANTED BOSTON ✅ BEAT BOSTON ✅

MAXEYYYYYYY

Eliminating the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Celtics in the same week... Philadelphia Forever

some of the worst sports personalities you know are sad about their basketball team and i think that’s beautiful

Martyrdom of Saint Simon Zelotes, Saint Judas Thaddeus, by Martin Johann Schmidt, 1796

The MAGA Supreme Court is the product of a 40-year plan to capture the courts. When Democrats win the majority, we can’t just turn back the clock to 2024 — we must demand fundamental reforms.

sometimes ill hear democratic candidates get tied in knots explaining their complicated rube goldberg tax credit proposals and get really depressed because in reality like 80% of Americans think taxes work like this:
