Yes, That's When Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Hi there. We're the Republican Party. Our policies are such that without voter suppression, gerrymandering and a gutting of civil rights legislation, we couldn't stay in power. And, oh yeah, if you do somehow manage to win an election on the merits, we won't swear you in to serve. Best of luck.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

As a baby lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts was writing memos arguing that violations of the Voting Rights Act should not be "too easy to prove." This is not just any legal issue that happens to come before him. This is his life's work. He just wants to finish what he started.

“I told her that what made being alive almost worthwhile for me was all the saints I met almost anywhere, people who were behaving decently in an indecent society.” Kurt Vonnegut, 1992 Seems relevant via lacancircle

"Make your values true by your actions...". It is possible if we demand it. We demand so little of the people we put in power. Demand everything you need. You may not get it all at once, but you won't get any of it if you don't first demand it. www.cityandstateny.com/personality/...

Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

"To fleeting pleasures make your court, No moment lose, for life is short! The present now's our only time, the missing that our only crime."

The slip: “I never thought we'd go into every city and take a really *safe* city that we've all been living with for years…”

I said nothing, and tried to think nothing.

lol can you *imagine* the kind of stuff in JD Vance group chats. (i mean, yes very easily)

Super mad

Oh they mad

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

“Participating Governors include: Bob Ferguson (WA), Josh Green (HI), Maura Healey (MA), Kathy Hochul (NY), Tina Kotek (OR), Ned Lamont (CT), Lou Leon Guerrero (GU), Dan McKee (RI), Matt Meyer (DE), Wes Moore (MD), Phil Murphy (NJ), Jared Polis (CO), JB Pritzker (IL), and Josh Stein (NC)” 👏🏻

“I worry, I’m a class traitor because I love my Yanks, love ‘em the way you love a skyscraper like a long-legged burlesque peeling off her fishnets, glittering underneath…” I Consider Myself by Natan Last The New Yorker, October 20, 2025

if you're black and 14, you're a man. if you're white and 40, you're just a kid

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Brown joins MIT rejecting the compact! Bravo! “I am concerned that the compact by its nature and by various provisions would restrict academic freedom and undermine the autonomy of Brown’s governance, critically compromising our ability to fulfill our mission.” Christina Paxton, President

Wisdom and goodness to the vild seem vild, Filths savor but themselves.

Brothers, you muse what chat we two have had.

Also, this, in case anybody tries to say "oh maybe they didn't listen to the lyrics of the fucking song".

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot. The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

“Studies based on the medical records of millions of people taking GLP-1s…have revealed strong signals of their potential as addiction treatment. The research shows reductions of 30 to 70 percent in addictive behaviors, including heavy drinking, cannabis use disorder and opioid overdoses.” 🎁

This is not morally or legally different than lining up two dozen men and shooting them in the face.

I mean, when your business model is "if people stop clicking the button we all die" then yes, that many requests per day isn't "inherently bad"

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss. reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

So say we all.

this forever

It’s been fun being attacked for years for saying bigotry motivates these people more than low taxes and small government

a real water is wet scenario here

we’ve been seeing the signs

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

whoever did this little bit of magnificence, take a bow

No murmur, no impatience, no petulance did come from him.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva announces her election results will be OFFICIALLY certified tomorrow, destroying Mike Johnson’s last excuse to delay her swearing in. “Mike Johnson needs to do his job so I can do mine.” No more lies. No more delays. Swear her in!

“Courts have weighed in on the amount of force a police officer — whether local, state or federal — …and determined that any use-of-force must be "objectively reasonable." "What does it mean to be objectively reasonable? That term by itself doesn't actually mean anything without context"

“…make me understand the present times.”

I read Caleb Nelson's piece on the removal power and I was taken with a reference he makes in the conclusion.

From @jamellebouie.net on @allinwithchris.bsky.social : "Any reading of any clause in the Constitution that essentially gives the President the prerogative of a king, that reading is wrong. It just is."

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
