and i think the example of washington — whose peer, in this regard, is frederick douglass — is a reminder that artifice and performance are important parts of democratic society, and that the contempt for virtue signaling is corrosive. virtue is meant to be signaled!

BREAKING: Our campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours after the FCC banned our Colbert interview.

So....the Fourth Reich?

These need to be on the front pages of every major fucking newspaper in the US. There's not a hell hot enough for these ghouls.

A sick society cosigned this.

Hey Bluesky, let’s have a frigging primary before we decide which end of the Democratic Party doesn’t vote for the other end’s candidate in the general.

why would anyone... who is the audience for this?

And these are going up all over Minneapolis.

Wow. More info via Instagram:

Clinton was the 1st President to close the border. Until then, migrant workers came and went with relative ease. In the intervening years, leaving and returning became riskier, so many simply remained, undocumented, so they could continue to work and send money home. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Elon Musk is a monstrous hatemonger and if you're still merrily posting bullshit on X like it's a normal place I'm judging you.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Let me explain this like we’re five. There are two elections. Two! In the first one we pick who will be the Democratic leader. You can have any opinion about this one! Personally I’d like a progressive. In the second one we decide between some Democrat, or MAGA. There is one acceptable answer.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

For starters.

Clinton's the 1st President to essentially close the border. Until then, migrant workers came & went w/ relative ease. In the intervening yrs, leaving & returning became riskier, so many simply remained, undocumented, so they could continue to work & send money home. It doesn’t have to be this way.

On the day that it finally happens, people are going to ask us to be all somber and respectful. lol

This is my church today.

One of the fun things about the dim eugenicists and bigot billionaires harping on generic "white culture" is they've mythologized concepts that they barely inspect. Irish and Italian immigrants were living in ghettos alongside other minority groups because they were not considered white at the time.

Brandi Carlile's accompaniment for "America the Beautiful" before the game last night was SistaStrings. The duo, Chauntee and Monique Ross, played another American anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," on the Library's Stradivarius instruments in 2024. Here's a clip of that impromptu performance. ⬇️

This young girl was battling stage 4 cancer when ICE agents took her Dad. Ofelia leveraged social media to fight for her Dad’s release. To call out the cruelty of ICE. She won. A judge ordered him released on compassionate grounds & they spent her last month’s together.

Lake Superior lookin extremely still today

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

For starters.

some past “multicultural economic zones” you may recall include the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the British Empire. while all of these had significant problems “no one will die to defend them” was memorably not among them

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19. Was hooked from the first few strikes on the xylophone. When I discovered my girlfriend (now wife) had an original press, I knew it was kismet.

Aye Eye.

I am ABSOLUTELY reading this as HARD PROOF that Romans farmed ichthyosaurs. It is fact now. Sorry.

But they are ready for the revolution. Because who else would you want on your side in existential stakes than someone who cannot do the bare minimum, low effort duty?

The Epstein files make clear how easy it is for "elite" academics to get away with lying for personal gain. In 2011, for ex, Harvard professor Shing-Tung Yau asked Epstein for $1.5M to keep 6 professors from leaving Harvard, adding "of course, I shall come up with some serious proposal." 1/
