Take it away, Yakko!

The Lubavitcher Rebbe lacks a plan to tackle inflation.

Excellent essay, though like a lot of the right’s current pathologies I think much of this has more mundane personal origins: Conservative parents send their kids to college, and they come back rejecting and ridiculing the worldview they were raised with.

“Nathan Hansen, a right-wing attorney and influential X user who has amplified racist conspiracies and fringe legal theories, will make decisions on which immigrants will be deported in his new job as an immigration judge at Fort Snelling.”

This is a horrible story about a CNN crew being beaten & detained by Israeli troops. www.cnn.com/2026/03/27/m...

A very real problem with our foreign policy is that we are able to easily kill for causes we don’t actually think are worth dying for

historians are gonna have a hell of a time with all this. “Nobody was willing to change their lives or die for any of this but they did it anyway”

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

Nope Nope #NoKings #Michigan

If I recall correctly the two biggest individual Republican rallies both killed people and their causes were: 1) the glory of the Confederacy 2) the loser of the election gets to remain in power bc they say so

Sign of the Day (from NYC):

people, I am tired of repeating myself. re-file skulls when you're done with them. that means back in the skull filing cabinet. not on the cabinet, not near the cabinet, in the cabinet. we have a skull filing cabinet for a reason

"I again emphasize that the Court has read every word of the allegedly infringed and infringing works..." Your Honor, by this point, no one has any doubt.

If I have to agree with Rand Paul or MTG one more time, I'm going to start drinking in the morning.

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

!!!!!!!

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised people take this Alpha School thing at all seriously. Does no one remember Rocketship or AltSchool or the other attempts at this digitally automated schooling? Time to re-up this from the AltSchool days. www.insidehighered.com/blogs/just-v...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here it is, your moment of zen.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Behold, the Unitary Executive!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

I’m struggling with how to promote this one, so I’ll just say I hope you read it and that it makes you feel less alone.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record: “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

In more-civilized countries, guillotines would be the moderate option for this sort of thing

Protest is my cardio.

I'm at the civil war I'm at the NATO war I'm at the combination civil war and NATO war

if you can make it to the end without laughing out loud at "Lazarus was DEAD" you are made of sterner stuff than I

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

@magaziner.house.gov gets it: Human stories of suffering and disruption are what will make this country embrace empathy as a virtue again.

I know these people were mostly born without consciences but I do think if I had to be politely asked not to use the cartoon turtle for children to promote extrajudicial killings I would wonder, if only for a second, if I was a bad person.

Finally home after 48 days in custody.

Rather than deal with the inconveniences of divorce — the paperwork, the math, the pitying looks — more and more women over 40 are choosing to just check out.

#BREAKING: A student intern at Rhode Island Superior Court was briefly taken into custody by ICE this afternoon before a judge intervened, 12 News has learned. Story by @jusolyn.bsky.social and @timwhiteri.bsky.social: ⤵️

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
