really like this quote from john bingham the goat on citizenship from 1867

46 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show. Sandra-Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.

the takes about how Francis being gone would make the papacy more conservative again are aging like that tweet about how LeBron is now 30 so he's gonna be done soon

Apparently this resonates with a lot of people.

I think it went wrong when MTV stopped playing music. The value of watching 10 videos and only 2 being what you would have chosen cannot be overstated. We experienced so much. We may not have liked it. But we knew what it was.

America really down bad all over the world

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

My sister took a picture of the smoke trail in the sky. ( She lives in Florida) All I could think of was the smoke trail that lingered in the sky after Challenger. Trauma.

LMAO THERE COULD BE NO CLEARER INDICATOR THAT BLUESKY IS FOR OLD PEOPLE Remember to take your blood pressure meds today, peepaws and meemaws

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

Me!!! It’s my birthday.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

It’s Al Gore’s birthday. It’s Christopher Walken’s birthday It’s Ewan McGregor’s birthday And somebody else…. Oh well, I’ll remember

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic

He raised us… our first anti capitalist globalist text was literally animaniacs

if i were a graduate student seeking a degree in the next 3 years i would strongly consider Challenging the legal definition of "graduate" versus "Professional" degree in court

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

they view the mere presence of nonwhites in positions of influence as “DEI,” regardless of credentials or performance. again, all of this was extremely obvious.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

I'm sorry but this was just last year... the first assault of Trump's expression of totalitarianism was against the foundational belief that the people are in possession of dissenting voice

This is not "regrettable attorney error" level of bad. This is "I must in all good conscience resign from my job because I am unable to warrant that my client will tell the court the truth" bad.

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

very exciting that a bunch of fox news grandpas have the power to interpret the constitution

7) THE VERY FACT THAT THIS IS BEING USED AS A THREAT TO GET DEMOCRATS IN LINE TO FUND ICE TELLS YOU HOW THIS IS GONNA GO. What is wrong with people who argue otherwise, that you're like "yes, exactly, they're just gonna be good worker bees." Were you born yesterday? Please explain your reasoning!

5) Being a TSA agent actually does require training. How do you know what you're looking for? What do you do when someone has scissors in their backpack? How do you see it as A Job instead of Interacting With The Enemy?

In support of this post, here are some extremely negative things that I expect to happen as a matter of course because of this.

i feel like the entire nazi tattoo question can be summarised as: either you're gonna vote for the guy who has a nazi tattoo, in which case you are also a nazi in the nazi bar, or you are not gonna vote for him

He's right
