🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

lol he has done the exact opposite, but please go off NYT

today’s the day! amid the Eldritch chaos, please don’t forget to be polite @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ple...

Framing like this should be considered a form of misinformation. Antisemitism in America in 2025 overwhelmingly emanates from the political right. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

I think the chatter about the murderer in MN probably being an actual cop is on to something. I mean, if he wasn’t a cop, seems important to prove that asap

Trump is going to victim blame on this one, I have zero doubts

These are assassinations to flip control of the Minnesota House (was 67-67) and Senate (was 34-33).

Liberalism needs to reclaim its radical roots

“The Atlantic is not journalism”

there’s got to be some kind of statute of limitations on this crap. I get moral hazard, I get all of that, it’s just completely insane to say that this guy who built an American life for 30 years isn’t American.

We won in 2020 and lost in 2024, so the implication that mass protests are bad for Democrats doesn’t have a lot of evidence behind it www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

What the fuck are we doing this for?

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

Gonna try to coin the term artisanal intelligence

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Why Google is doing everything in its power to destroy web search boggles the mind

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

100% agree with this. A big part of the route to positive sum politics is through our big cities.

This country was so fucking stupid for electing him the first time, so idk.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Thinking about how the car-centric nature of Mario Kart World hurts its residents. Toads have to cross a road where there is racing going on just to get from the lifeguard station to the water.

What is it about Reddit that everyone on it sounds really annoying

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

A ton of people haven’t moved in recent years because they locked in low interest rate mortgages.

The willful usage of “fractional” in describing yourself professionally is sad. Why people do that, I have no idea.

you hate ralph nader for throwing the 2000 election. i hate ralph nader for burning america's state capacity to the ground to establish a universal nonprofit veto over any affirmative program, however progressive. we're different.

one thing i absolutely do not understand is why the primary editorial position of the new york times is sneering contempt for customers of the new york times

Happy D-Day to all of those that celebrate!

Incredibly based answer

You know, when I first got into politics, men would always tell me that WOMEN were too emotional to lead. 🧐

Okay today really is like Christmas

the two Dems quoted in this piece in favor of embracing Musk are 2016 Bernie Sanders delegate Richie Torres and 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign co-chair Ro Khanna
