"wait your turn" is a thing only said by people who are afraid of being defeated on merit

War ravaged Portland.

Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.

Oh this is the first time I've seen a timeline. The notification window is not terribly long, which means the more we can blast this information out the better. I will be screaming about it A LOT once the submission link is live!

My brother used to fly a lot for work. His concerns were: Do the crew look sober? Do they appear to be well-rested?

Robby Starbuck is a lower-midcard comedy heel Vince McMahon invented of a millenial hipster.

The 14th amendment is about as clear language as one can get, to be able to twist it in a knot to say it means whatever Trump wants it to mean is judicial malpractice of a kind, and I don't say it lightly, never seen before in this country. It makes the 2nd Amendment twisting seem tame by comparison

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

For those who don't know the term, "fandom" stands for "fan domination" and is a type of kink where a "fan submissive" (eg, a Lakers fan) gets off on having a "fan dominant" (say, a Dr. Who fan) belittle the submissive's hobby ("oh sportsball?") while monologuing aggressively about their own

spoken like a man who never once parented a small child through a childhood illness.

We fought the bloodiest civil war this country has ever seen for birthright citizenship. We amended the Constitution. We have all understood what that amendment meant--from the moment it was debated in Congress to this moment now.

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)

Republicans are moving quickly to restrict the rights of trans and gay Americans—a fact that does not really bother the MAGA gays buzzing in and around the Trump White House.

Always read Farias. Roberts’s “maximalist language in Trump v. United States not only granted Trump a shield from criminal investigation and prosecution, but also handed him a sword to order criminal investigations and prosecutions—even sham ones.”

the reason i have no patience for tankies or other people who are apologists for the bolsheviks is because i’ve read what other socialists and communists said about them at the time and it’s clear what distinguished them from everyone else was unrelenting proto-edgelord bloodlust

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

One of the best pieces by Kaleb Horton ever is no longer easily available, because of course MTV wouldn't maintain actual good music writing done for its site once. Thankfully I found it again via some digging: his 2016 memorial to Merle Haggard on his passing. Link here, screencaps to follow.

Again and again the Supreme Court has issued barely written emergency injunctions, overturning lower courts, on the notion that Trump suffers some irreparable damage by abiding by the constitution. Meanwhile, real victims with real harms can expect no help. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

In a statement ICE claimed Arias-Mendoza had a number of previous arrests and entered the country illegally at some point. This journalist is not in the business of taking ICE at their word.

RUSSIA ESCALATES UNDERWATER ESPIONAGE: A Financial Times investigation reveals that Russia is increasing espionage of NATO’s critical undersea cable infrastructure, which facilitates internet access, energy, military communications, and financial transactions.

Investigate the Bermuda Triangle. The Trump child rape files were probably lost there.

I am absolutely 100% not going to get sucked into some "what happened to Amelia Earhart, there was a cover-up" discussion. If you know anything about aviation in that period, then you know this was a pilot error accident. A lot of pilots died in that era. There is no mystery. Let. It. Go.

Yep. And That 3 lbs can was still 13.99 in December. Now it's $20.99. They have increased the cost of coffee by 50% in eight months. I'm honestly shocked how in stride people are taking it.

it's 2007. you're scrolling your favorite rss feeds in google reader. the internet ad market has led to a boom in mid-sized blogs that can employ tens of writers and editors in a relatively niche subject. you don't know it, but this is the last time journalism will be any good.

This morning on FB I saw this post where a bunch of my fellow, “freedom loving” Oregonians were cheering on the occupation of our state by federal troops. The comments were positively giddy, like it’s Christmas morning. Remarkable how easy it was to recruit cheerleaders for authoritarianism.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Can anyone imagine Cuomo or Adams caring enough to do something like this?

Oh this is a very interesting take on things, worth a read

Before I turn on @npr.org again or read another @nytimes.com editorial, because I know exactly how it'll be: This isn't "a threat" to academic freedom. It's not igniting "a debate" about it. The "future" of academic freedom isn't at stake. This is what the end of academic freedom has made possible.

Elon Musk, a white South African, will end up causing more misery across the African continent than anyone else in recent history

The forests that once sheltered the small town of Roseland are turning brown. Now, many residents are left wondering: Is what was left behind after the Aug. 22 blast safe? If it’s making the trees ill, what about them?

The United States is simply not politically stable enough, nor sufficiently committed to democratic and international principles, to host the UN.

This is because they spent 4yrs preparing and wrote a 900 page script that they're following with zeal. Trump's in it for the grift and grievance, but all those Heritage Foundation people, Tech Boys, Christian Nationalists, they're all in (and desperate to lock it in).

Then we can chuck Marbury v Madison and start with a clean slate.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

they won’t have anyone to boot. 110 of 195 ambassadorships are vacant www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A reminder as the rising tide of christofascism across the globe comes to threaten us all

I'm not sure "driven by bots" is the most accurate way to describe these results. The Cracker Barrel boycott was very openly launched and amplified by prominent conservative influencers like Chris Rufo. Bots may have latched onto it afterwards but it was organic far-right derangement.

A dose of facts for you ... www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Amelia Earhart became food for the coconut crabs. No mystery. Just the things that can happen alone in a plane.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

This seems like an admission he either signed something he didn’t read, someone in his office filed it with a forged signature, or he’s lying to the court. Any of which is an ethical breach. And said with the absolute confidence of a dude who knows he’s never going to face any real repercussions.

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔 (Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)
