Cut Butker already geez

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

I do love "You dummies aren't actually reading the book" content about Christianity.

Second threat walked back after a couple days.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Autism antibodies are stored in the foreskin.

JUST IN: A federal judge has granted the New York Times’ demand for a list of Elon Musk’s security clearances. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

Great point from @emptywheel.bsky.social: Trump's sliding approval on immigration is because millions of citizens are bearing witness. "All of it starts from the people—both private citizens and independent journalists—witnessing, filming, and posting ICE thugs." www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/29/b...

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams ends his reelection campaign.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

How many lone wolves does it take to form a pack?

Keep the pressure on, people

Get to decide what the American people think?!!?!?!?

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

How low do you think Trump's approval rating will be in the last ones that come out before he makes polling illegal?

Gen Z is super known for their use of ellipses. They love ‘em. Use ‘em all the time.

Exactly this. And it is important to overwhelm their systems before they're up and running. The corollary to "courage is contagious" is that everyone has to stand up *early*, not wait for others to go first. The sooner everyone demonstrates that their machine can't possibly do this, the better.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

I read this several hours ago now and I can't get it out of my head. We're talking about Tyler Robinson like he's the shooter and it's just technicalities from here. But what if he's not? "Implied"? The certified shitposter *implied* that he did this? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

They insist that America is about blood & soil, about where you were born & what color you are, because on any level playing field, they would lose. They have no decency, no particular skills, no ideas, nothing to offer ... the accidents of their color & geography are all they have going for them.

Share this tweet if you are down for a national walkout.

i remember when jd vance blamed the haitian immigrants to springfield for rising home prices. well, the prices will come down, because a mass departure of haitian workers will crash the local economy.

Great idea! People who can do this should en masse.

Not to oversimplify but I really think this is it. There's billions of dollars in AI, and every person and company is eager for a paycheck in an uncertain economy. It's not that AI is all bad. It's just that the bad parts are going completely unchecked in pursuit of wealth

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election. Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

My first thought was hearty agreement. My second thought was that one of the only bright spots in this whole mess is how incredibly stupid those guys are. I wouldn’t want them to have the same goals but be smarter.

Just to hammer this in: I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country. Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.

Trump and his supporters pretend that he made money from real estate. He didn't. That was a myth created by "The Apprentice." He *lost* money in real estate. The most money he ever made--$3.4 BILLION--was from his presidency, which he got elected to by pretending he was successful in real estate.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

A real pinch-me moment

"i don't like subtitles" do you fear words?

asked a question about Russiagate that he struggles to hear, a confused Trump starts ranting about the Epstein files
