Aaron Boone is intent on losing this game. I love that for him.

A stain of dishonor for the United States military that it'll take generations to wash off. Will be decades before anyone overseas will ever want to help us soldiers again

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

remember when we had a whole flurry of litigation about whether or not government officials highlighting COVID disinfo for Facebook to take down was 1st Amendment overreach

“urban Dems have made bad calls too” is my thesis as to why the Democratic Party is failing to gain traction nationally, and you can thank the various New York political machines and very below average mayors in Chicago and LA for that.

Bitch you're the only person talking about this shit! This is letting the other side dictate the debate! We've been beaten over the head with Alexander Hamilton quotes for a decade and yet party leadership still hasn't internalized the easiest thing: "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."

seems to me the basic error these centrists are making is that they are playing on enemy turf, rather than trying to raise the salience of issues that favor them

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

ICE raids an elementary school graduation. This is cruelty to children and, I believe, purposeful because they don’t want them here either in 2045 to stop the shift to minority white(ness) then. So terrorize and destroy their happiest, most hopeful days.

One of the wild things about NYC politics, and how people tell on themselves, is that Zohran’s mom is from India, and he was born in Uganda, both countries which have huge diaspora communities in the city, and every single question about a foreign country is… neither of those.

As ever, the Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

The thing is: you don't need to think too hard to create the argument that California should secede, and such a secession would harm the other states far more than it would harm California, considering where all our fresh food comes from.

Yeah, this is really really bad. And demands far more focus than the national political press will ever give it. (Even before we get to the fact that the attacks will harm the disliked states whose taxes subsidizes the favored ones.)

The ADL's board needs to decide whether they want to return to the ADL's original mission, or continue with Greenblatt's strategy of being a branch office of Likud.

Jackson's dissent is exactly right. There is absolutely no reason the Supreme Court needs to jump in and bless these unprecedented actions. These extraordinary interventions are manifestations of their ideological commitment to unchecked Presidential power (cf. Trump v. United States).
