Absolutely LOLing at that Indiana state senate vote count

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

We can’t let 8 antisocial billionaires dictate the fate of humanity.

Vietnam? yeah, totally. we dropped a bunch of bombs, killed a bunch of people, and it was totally pointless because we ended up allied with the government of communist Vietnam in the long term because Vietnam's biggest problem is always China

Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.

The “Voted Remain, now say stay out” group is vanishingly small, so of course that’s the government’s favoured position. As so often, it’s found itself espousing something that almost nobody supports.

What's most galling is Wurman and Barnett aren't stupid. They both know exactly how dishonest this is. Whatever their motives, and I don't really care, they're not doing scholarship in any of this. They're willful liars abusing their credentials in an aid of a lawless attack on fundamental rights.

Because some are asking... "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a carve out for ambassadors, tribal nations outside of US jurisdiction and invading armies. It decidedly does not apply to children of foreign-born parents (4/3)

🇺🇸 trifectas get <one> shot at doing something Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem The platform must be <immediate> institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Pretty sure the reason we don’t have a Democratic Party “interested in an anti-war movement” is that being “anti-war” is not actually a meaningful or useful principle, as seen by virtually all the people who self-define as such being adamantly in favour of wars conducted by states like Russia

I get that some are deeply committed to maintaining the doomer bit at all costs, but you sound like Matt Yglesias if you’re now claiming it doesn’t count as good news if Democrats don’t win outright in Tennessee (which no reasonable person expected) but do lose by a way smaller than usual margin

every time Argentineans post their little crybully rants about the Falklands it's a reminder of the mentality that resulted in their incompetent fascist junta getting hundreds of their own conscript soldiers killed in an unprovoked invasion.

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls." time.com/7335723/auto...

Admiral Bradley—WHO TO BE CLEAR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY DECISION THAT WAS MADE—has my total and complete moral support. I will be keeping him in my prayers, and I will be rooting for him.

We all should start saying that Trump is an illegitimate president due to the 14th Amendment’s plain text and his pardons are null and void

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

does kinda feel notable that Trump is trying to make an explicitly personal party faction rebrand and that its almost certainly going nowhere (also lmao that photo looks NOTHING like him)

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

They like Trump and want to help him

“Biden Asylum Cases” is NYT’s framing for a story pegged to a man who got asylum 3 months into the Trump administration www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

Why there never was a Vibecession in one chart. It’s always been about the prices of essentials.

This is very interesting (and yeah, I also had an initial “oh come on, that’s nuts” reaction to the first part of this article, but as I read on, I realized he was making some pretty compelling points)

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

We will need tribunals and Democrats need to start talking about that

The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists. Here’s what to look out for:

Google just changed its settings so that it is reading all of your mail, and all of the attachments to your mail, in order to train its LLM. It does not ask your consent. If you turn it off your inbox becomes unusable. I'm enraged but I don't know what to do.

the people who want to do climate fascism to refugees are voters! just building some fucking solar panels is cheap and profitable!

What's really starting to come into view is that "online tankies" aren't even really that radically communist, it's just people with anti-American sentiments who are also culturally-4chan. If you press them, they're absolutely racist, misogynistic, transphobic, and homophobic. That's their culture.

This shit is delightful

Look at broader measures of unemployment—including people who want a job but aren't in the labor force or who are working part-time but want a full-time job—and the labor market is nearly in the worst place since the pandemic.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say. The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.

The political problem here, similar to fascism, is people have forgotten how *bad* it was. When Nixon is the one signing the clean water act, you know things were BAD bad. But now we’ve kidded ourselves into believing the free market cleaned things up because it was good for business.

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"

the actual suicide of the West will be combining a rapidly aging population with hostility to migrants. however we must give credit to East Asia, especially Japan, for pioneering this model.

“Big if true” but unironically

one republican in office is too many.

know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

This analogy is wrong. These aren't rats fleeing a ship - this is the *crew* fleeing a ship taking on water. The crew continuing to flee it will hasten its demise and we should encourage this. If we force the crew to stay on board they will try to save it.
