So many of you good liberal Democrats conspired to bring us to this point. Equating any criticism of Israel's ongoing genocide with terrorism. Tossed our country's bedrock principles about speech into the shitter so Israel could go on killing. Calling peaceful protests anti semitic.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

The thing about what Cory Booker is doing is that it SHOULD be “the least the Democrats can do” and spark a real change in strategy and messaging. But you just know there are party elders calling him a grandstanding jerk under their breath.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

This. There's a thin but important line between "Everything sucks and always will" and "Everything sucks and I don't know if I can do anything about it but I'm going to try anyway because otherwise that abyss sure is staring right back at me."

Seriously. Don't post "AI images of me in the style of ____". AI is theft. AI is also trying to steal artist's jobs. It is a horrible look.

Maryland-Florida is fun because either you can root for the coach who ghosted his team right before its biggest game in like two decades or you can root for the coach with credible swept-under-the-rug sexual harassment allegations.

There are a lot of reasons why baseball is dying and this isn't the biggest one but it's indicative: It's 2025, it's Opening Day, and I can't watch or listen to my favorite team's game because I'm not in my home and haven't paid for an over-the-top service ON TOP OF the RSN I already pay for.

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

The most effective statement that Senate Democrats could make right now would be removing Chuck Schumer as the minority leader. Get real about fighting back or shut the fuck up.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

None of this shit even has the pretense of “homeland security” or whatever other lies they would typically tell. It is specifically for protesting another country’s genocide. Not violently. Not even all that aggressively. Just saying please stop killing.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

They can and will do this to anyone they don't like simply by asserting that they do not have citizenship. Because at what point are you given the chance to prove anything or dispute their claims? They do it this way to prevent that from ever happening

Pretty cool how the bulk of the media ecosystem refused to utter words like "fascist" in order to maintain a sober appearance of impartiality and now we have the Stasi kidnapping people in broad daylight

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
