Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Worth reminding everyone that the current highest ranking Democrat in America openly admits he bases his decisions on what he thinks an imaginary person would want and today he and most of his allies are struggling to understand how somebody like Mamdani won by talking to voters who actually exist

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I tweet about this so much but it just kills my soul a little bit. I will tweet "AI stuff is boring trash" and get comments like "Yeah I totally agree but not in the case where I use it' and then they post their boring trash.

"I paid $18,000 for a car I couldn’t drive" “I was played" “What they did to me was insane" Americans looking for an affordable car were scammed by a predatory company. The Trump Administration is letting the company get away with it.

The easiest way to explain ranked choice voting is that it's a sandwich order, not a tier list. If I said your choices are turkey, ham, or dogshit, you wouldn't be like "ok my third choice is dogshit", you'd simply omit the shit sandwich.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

His whole pretending-to-know-what-he’s-on-about schtick might be entertaining for a minute or so if you encountered it from a fella on a street corner selling pencils. Somewhat less charming when it’s coming from the world’s richest person.

Wow, NYTimes be like, “Andrew Cuomo is our problematic fave." The editorial board willfully misunderstands something I figured out in early adulthood: that sexual harassment tells you everything about someone’s relationship with power, and on its own, ought to be enough to disqualify from office.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.
