We live in the weirdest stupidest dystopia But this is a seasonal reminder GET YOUR LOCAL DISASTER PLANS IN PLACE Whatever it is that you deal with, for me it's earthquakes, fires, flooding primarily make sure you AT LEAST have the bare min. recommended shit and know what to do, how to turn off

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

It is time to do away with the Reapportionment Act of 1929 and Uncap the House! nocapfund.org

This is another reason why the only path forward is for Dems to bite the bullet and implement proportional representation via increasing the size of the House and mandating single multi-member districts. You can't have a constitutional democracy in a two-party system if one party is authoritarian.

My biggest takeaway from my college course on the civil war and reconstruction, after learning John Brown was put to death for Harper’s Ferry, but every confederate general was spared, was that every last confederate officer should have been hanged after Appomattox. And I stand by it.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Here is my issue with MTG. You should not be able to support dangerously bigoted policies and say disgustingly antiblack, antisemitic, and anti-trans things and then be treated as a respectable pundit on the cable and online news circuit. She is Alex Jones in a dress. Should Alex Jones be on CNN?

Angel City forward and Scottish international Claire Emslie returns to the pitch for the first time since giving birth in late December 🙌💖 What a special moment that comes just in time for Mother’s Day tomorrow 🥹

The gumption of the young journalists here alone is worthy of commendation, but I’m most heartened by how local reporting by local people breaks through: “It’s like, ’Yeah, your granddaughter is going through this...it’s something different than Fox News.’” #icymi

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Guess what? . . . Cardinal butt!

“This franchise is NOT for kids!” - guy who got into it when he was 8.

The US has politically motivated mass shootings every other day but Europe is a hot bed for terrorism? Also, those mass shooters are almost entirely far right Trumper white boys. This shit is going to give those people—the actual terrorists—more reason to radicalise and lash out

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

Every now and then I remember Tim Walz’s “they’re weird” campaign and how close the dems were to actually shifting the way people perceive the right in a very real way and then they just…stopped

I’m not sure people are wondering if the clothes were art. They are wondering why celebrities crossed a picket line to hobnob with a couple making billions of dollars from things like AI which is essentially the antithesis of creating art. He is also anti-worker, the people you say are the artists.

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

The Gilded Age had mass inequality, government kickbacks, an imperialist war, restricted voting, and racial segregation. But it also had its bad points. by Clarence Thomas

Millers Crossing, Lebowski, No Country, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Fargo are their best works imho. I don't care for most of their others, but I absolutely loved these films.

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

I’m not watching the lying best friend of Epstein after his 3rd fake assassination attempt.

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

One thing that's really insane about this is just how little these states matter in the US's agricultural production relative to how destructive farming is there. Arizona, Utah, and Nevada — the entire states, not just CO River irrigation — produce less than 20% the agircultural output of just Iowa.

The reappearance of this take from this quarter is really interesting, actually; I think it’s evidence of an ambient worry that Rooseveltian politics and policies look suddenly possible

She's not a historian and that piece is ahistorical nonsense. Your magazine should be embarrassed for running it.

"Democrats need to do more outreach to rural Americans! Now let us disparage a Democratic president who did one of the greatest investments in rural America."

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

A 3-0 WIN FOR THE USWNT 🇺🇸 After Tuesday, the squad was hungry for goals—and found them: a Naomi Girma header, a Rose Lavelle breakaway and Kennedy Wesley notching her 1st international goal. A game to remember in Lindsey Heaps' home state to close out the window against a skilled Japan side.

Audio on please, meep meep. 🔊

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

“All you had to do was pay us a living wage” is doing a lot of very heavy “A riot is the voice of the unheard” warehouse fire lifting lately.

Brutal.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

RUSSIA IS IN A WEIRD STATE OF DENIAL The Ukrainians are making small advances and Russia is losing as many as 300 men for every square kilometre they try to take. Russians are moaning about the loss of internet access and what it means for their already apparently miserable lives. Air defence

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

This is my Fantastic Four now.

Olympic legends Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird have denounced the Olympics trans athlete ban. They call out the mass testing regime that will be implemented on women and the harm it will cause. “Can we focus our resources into real problems women’s sports face?” Subscribe to support our journalism.

one challenge to any kind of dramatic, theatrical opposition to this is that Democrats have zero guarantee their congressional leadership would back them up and defend them publicly. that's what Jeffries not whipping against the Al Green censure means.

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it
