One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

They’re trying to remove references to slavery and racial discrimination from goddamn *Harpers Ferry*.

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

Your task today #CD2, #CD4,#CD7 Call Van Drew, Smith and Kean and demand they explain why the Republican president told the military to use American cities as "training grounds." Do not hang up until you get an answer. Van Drew (202) 225-6572 Smith (202) 225-3765 Kean (202) 225-5361

“This shutdown is happening because the aforementioned party of dictatorship wants it to happen so it can destroy the federal government and vastly reduce the number of things it does for people. It’s happening because Donald Trump’s Republican Party is depraved” newrepublic.com/article/2010...!

The only thing more dangerous than a Government willing to unleash its military might on its own citizens is a press too cowardly to take a stand and warn us.

WHAT THE FUCK www.themirror.com/lifestyle/fo...

I wonder what kind of word salad the Post and the Times are going to come up with in order to avoid calling this racist.

Aside from being a racist/misogynistic jackass drama queen, he is embedding official fascist propaganda. This white right-nationalist Evangelical Christian MAGA bs will embolden the fascists who have been hoping for this anti-democratic change. He is setting up military leaders for a Trump coup.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

I see @abc7ny.bsky.social covering a similar story w/out asking: Are they Lithium ion or LiFePO4 batteries? Seems like that would be a question a reporter would ask, especially since Li-ion batteries have a 2-5 year life and a LiFePO4 can last 10 years and have twice the number of charge cycles.

Can anyone in Portland tell me what hotel chain is putting up the traitors invading that city? We need to boycott any and all hotel chains involved in housing ICE and Natl Guard.

National Hispanic Heritage Month Beautiful PSA celebrating Hispanics - narrated by Lin-Manual Miranda.

Yes, it’s patently clear now that democratic leadership was not prepared to challenge an authoritarian invasion;they control all the levers of power and are abusing those with impunity.Dems can only offer apathetic drivel while atrocities mount ; we can only watch in horror as democracy burns.

An all-time favorite article I send people when they ask about the red NH/blue New England paradox:

PG&E unveils $73 billion spending plan to meet surging data-center energy demand I'm once again asking, why should ratepayers subsidize the AI build out? www.reuters.com/business/ene...

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen just for filming—knocking her unconscious. "Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said. "Then they kidnapped her from the hospital—without a formal discharge—and took her to Downtown LA Detention Center."

It’s really hard to find a therapist who can counsel people with actual real threat scenarios, like this one. For example, I don’t think I have “haters”. I have actual coordinated attacks on my safety and wellbeing, sir or ma’am. Same with political conflicts like these.

Klein not only underestimates it, but when he's asked to look at history and precedent, he says he doesn't want to because he finds it too depressing. this is a good example of how intelligence is a moral choice, not some sort of biological capacity.

Surveillance companies justify helping ICE and Trump with ‘democracy’ “It's not my job to play the ethics game because our elected officials will eventually figure that out. I have full faith in the American people to decide who to elect and what to vote on.” 🔗 www.404media.co/how-surveill...

This is not the first time that edgy "young conservatives" have embraced ideas that fall outside the boundaries of what would normally be considered "the American liberal tradition of constitutional democracy." But social media super-charges that dynamic. bsky.app/profile/seth...

I try to resist doomerism, but I have to admit that hearing Gen Z "conservatives" describe their media diets made me want to walk into the sea. Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, etc. Ben Shapiro framed as a moderate. Bari Weiss as the go to for "liberal opinions." youtu.be/fpTXMVpdyRg?...

Incredibly clearly written deep dive into the appalling views and behavior towards women (and Muslims and Iraqis and really everyone) by Pete Hegseth, one of the worst of Trump’s cabinet of villains and fools.

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

To answer this question from @ezraklein.bsky.social--you start from a position of what we have in common. Shared interests, shared values, shared humanity. You have to reset the frame from one of us vs. them and forced scarcity to what we're willing to fight for together.

He deleted the insane Medbed video. Just because it happened overnight, don’t miss that Trump just did possibly the craziest thing he’s ever done. He posted an AI video of what looked like a Fox News report showing Trump announcing new technology that would cure all ills. People believe this exists.
