*Reads up on the latest episode of "Peacemaker."* Oh, they're going *there.* Good.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

This is going to end up being the most pointless and expensive "this meeting could have been an email" in history.

The administration celebrating Wounded Knee is congruent with the administration asking for dismissals or one-day sentences for cops convicted of civil rights violations. It’s part of a coordinated message. /1 apnews.com/article/woun...

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

I want to point a very important detail of this: Jeffries is holding a press conference trashing Trump. And only CSPAN is carrying it. And that is the problem with America right now. The only place Democrats get any press coverage are places where no one watches.

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

Help genAI crap face the banhammer.

It’s truly baffling to me that so many of these stories focus on “wow big fish” and not “this is an IUCN Red List Critically Endangered species that is extremely physiologically fragile and often does not survive fishing practices like this” www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-t... 🦑🧪🌎🦈🐠

You know what goes well with a pumpkin spice latte? A cozy mystery book checked out from the library 😏☕📖

don't use AI as a factchecker because *it makes shit up*. this phrase does not occur in Downbelow Station: I just searched the e-book. (h/t @fatalist.bsky.social)

Trump constantly undercuts his apologists by spelling out that he intended all along to do exactly the outrageous and extreme thing they were trying to clean up or disguise. /2, end

This is utterly deranged.

Disney gave in but Nexstar and Sinclair did not. Folks in the NYC area, let WPIX and its advertisers know you're unhappy with Nexstar's decision to continue to censor free speech and won't be watching their station. pix11.com/about-us/con...

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

LOL

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Everyone should read Kagan’s dissent from this atrocious order. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

As a Baltimorean we are painfully aware of the presence of Sinclair in our city.

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

60 years of material, so it's easy to do. The specific inadvertent reference, though, is excellent.

Can I register for conscientious objector status regarding use of genAI?

Was wondering if @lastweektonight.com would address the Kimmel stuff briefly or make it the "main story" (even though its "main stories" often involve months of prep and research). Looks like they went for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

Get. Off. Twitter.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

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.

🧵 Everything we were told for years that people believed about campus speech, viewpoint diversity, & the marketplace of ideas turns out to have been an absolute lie. Every accusation, in the end, was a confession.

My colleague Kat put together this handy thread explaining why the First Amendment doesn't protect people from retaliation by their private employers. . . until it does.

it is very hard to violate rule 8. so this one's heading to civ pro classes nationwide

This is a bar that pro se sovereign citizens shouting about flag fringe regularly manage to clear.

“Complaint struck for unnecessarily stroking the President’s ego to an inappropriate and irrelevant degree to the extent it is a genuine nightmare to read” Seriously, that’s what this is.

Ah yes, who can forget Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus when God demanded “Saul, Saul, why don’t you persecute black people”?

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

"All they do is hit Trump. They're not allowed to do that." -- America's dumbest but most special little boy

The president of the United States believes he has the right and the authority to use the firepower of the federal government to crush people who say things about him that he does not like. It's as simple as that.

YOU. ARE. WHITE.
