Our two most personable chickens died this week. No obvious cause, it’s always hard to tell with chickens. Life is fragile. RIP Bernice (AKA Heihei) and Barbara Gordon.

Wishing heatstroke on all the racists and neo-Nazis today.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Dog rescued in Venezuela after 6 days in rubble! Such goodness all around 😍

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

It’s important to keep today’s birthright citizenship decision in context. First, SCOTUS left the status of a fundamental, explicitly articulated constitutional right uncertain for over a year all to affirm what was clear from the issuance of Trump’s EO. Birthright citizenship cannot be abridged.

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...

So close to getting it.

Measured by where things stood when its reign began, the Roberts Court is the worst SCOTUS on racial justice. Ever. Worse than Taney or Fuller courts.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

I talked — at length! — with Julian Lucas of the New Yorker and this is what happened: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Real peoples lives are being destroyed as we’re all forced to live in the alternate reality of a decaying pedophilic narcissist…

Legacy US media is atrocious. It’s all North Korea now.

Lol Republicans are crybabies

Lol and lmao

None of this is true. I fucking hate this man.

Aaaaaaand I'm unequivocally out of Newsom now. He doesn't understand the moment. I'll vote for him if he's the nominee, but I hope someone else makes it through. Damnatio Memoriae 2028

I love Jalen Brunson. Super happy for KAT, Anunoby, and Hart.

Knicks!

The only person that wants to win this game is Jalen Brunson.

Trump with the reverse Midas touch again.

On the other place, Hugh Laurie just delivered a Death of Expertise smackdown for the ages

my take on the topic du jour? well. i agree with some of the involved. as for the others they must be shot in the street like dogs

Let’s go Knicks

ok, this place has the juice

Absolutely. As I've said before, FDR's court-packing plan failed because most Americans didn't recognize the conservative majority there was acting in a partisan fashion. But the Roberts Six are deeply corrupt, nakedly partisan, and barely bothering to hide their contempt for precedent. Let's go.

Peacock wtf are you doing? I have to listen to this hype music montage of NBA arenas every commercial break?

Yeah, Little Marco. Start a new war before you're done with the last one that's going super well. Great idea.

I was just talking about this. AI in a robust social safety net is very different than AI in a scam economy without one.

Just now — @RepJeffries and the Congressional Black Caucus joined the call for athletes to boycott schools in states where Republicans are racially gerrymandering (like Tennessee) to strip Black folks of representation

They're called felons, JD.

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Waste, fraud, and abuse in the flesh. Donald Trump wants to settle his joke lawsuit against his own IRS department to hand out $1.7 BILLION of OUR TAX DOLLARS to Jan. 6th insurrectionists and his cronies.

It is remarkable how many establishment Dems simply do not understand they are in the middle of an existential war against MAGA politics, and that there’s no co-existence possible here.

I'm sure after a few years we'll find out this "detransition" clinic treated fewer than a dozen patients. Just completely chickenshit stuff by the general counsel and admin at Texas Children's.

Classic Trump interaction: PRESS: Did you read this thing? TRUMP: Yeah, I definitely read that thing.

Just...I need everyone to realize how far we have fallen. This is, like, the sixth thing Trump said in this presser that would have been career-ending for any politician of 20 years ago.

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee, schools. "Age-Appropriate" my ass. www.wbir.com/article/news...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Administration full of weirdos and perverts.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state
