damn lol

here's my scotustake: you need a plan to both break this court specifically, and also a plan to arrive at a new and functional court system, *and also* to recognize that political contestation never ends but that's no excuse for doing nothing

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

absolutely. we use the weapons we have lol

I’m just a shitlib, but until the dems are willing to take on the concentrated power of capital and the mechanisms that led to it they’re just painting the titanic a different color. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

constitutional birthright citizenship survives by 1 vote. and to think people were worried about this beautiful institution.

Supreme Court my ass

there’s a lot of bullshit with california governance but the sunshine laws are pretty good.

some scenes from san francisco today #pride #sfpride

Fanon:

Four-year-old just told his toddler sister “it’s time for the hunt” and they both left the room. Not my business

can i say something without everybody getting mad

There are maybe twenty people globally who can do the angry guy thing in a charismatic way, and tens of thousands of people who think they can but are deeply offputting to everyone who isn’t already in the previously mentioned group of tens of thousands of people.

Congrats to Cape Verde, the most powerful 0-3-0 World Cup team of all time

If you've been conscious for the last 18 months, and you're an elected official who doesn't think what we're witnessing is a generational crisis you are fully out of your mind. And to have the temerity to shit talk people who want to address it? Astounding. Had it too good for too long

iirc they also have to pay at least partially for their own travel and uniforms, and they are intentionally kept as contractors or part-time employees so they don’t qualify for benefits. girls y’all need a union lol

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

Thanks @emilymbender.bsky.social and @nannainie.bsky.social for incisive and timely decoding of rampant marketing / anthropomorphization of probabilistic automation (AKA AI) bit.ly/3SvwxSz

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

i have a lot of genuine care for an ex from over a decade ago who recently reached out to reconnect but a) he has a lot of atonement to do & he is on the path but not nearly done with it yet & b) i am almost 50yo & y’all sexting feels kind of silly i just want to make out if we’re making out haha

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

sheesh

don’t let the door hit ya where the lord split ya

the children need to be taught the somethingawful deep lore and i’m not gonna be the one to figure out how to effectively implement it but our culture is going to suffer because the young do not know the old Internet History lol

the interview linked here is like “i have a good relationship with mamdani and if somebody else doesn’t i’m sure they’ll work it out” and look i’m not some big stan for establishment democrats but this article is really spinning something from nothing from the headline to the photo on down

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

It is *absolutely* relevant, when we consider that the most powerful players, like Andreessen Horowitz, *hire people who kill unarmed civilians around them*.

this is so dystopian, ugh lol

I don't really mind people criticizing USAID so long as they are clear about what the practical upshot of that criticism is supposed to be bsky.app/profile/oluf...

i tend to agree with this!

the american conservative colonizer mindset really is something

I'd like to shout out prison litigators, who perform the vital yet thankless task of protecting constitutional rights behind bars. They are in the trenches fighting to secure basic decency and safety for a deeply vulnerable population whom most would rather ignore. It's courageous and heroic work.

Don't be fooled by the fact that none of today's 5 #SCOTUS rulings were "big" ones. Four of them split the Court along its usual 6-3 ideological lines—one of which guts accountability for human rights abuses; one that makes it harder to enforce Spending Clause statutes; and one that's bad for LPRs.

The Supreme Court's fifth and final decision is Blanche v. Lau, another 6–3 split. Per Thomas, the government does NOT require clear and convincing evidence that a green card holder committed a crime before divesting them of their lawful status at the border. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

no matter how stupid you think these people are, you’re wrong lol

some people need to read less theory and read more news

that sure is a sentence

don’t siege leningrad, take it immediately

goddamnit

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

yeah i mean, may i introduce you to exhibit a, gavin mcinnes lol

If you're a young trans man or trans masc person who needs a dad today, congrats. I am your dad now. I am proud of you and what you've accomplished although some of your young person culture and choices perplex me. I am proof trans men can be middle aged married dudes. You can be too some day. Live.

seems like mamdani was correct to distance himself from this lady. also it is lamentable that “epstein class” is being used as an antisemitic dog whistle now because i think it was good shorthand for “the billionaires trying to (often literally) screw you over” & a similar phrase would be useful

everything is so gender all the time
