When I ponder the immensity of the disasters that this man alone can unleash, I can't shake off the unnerving suspicion that Sirhan Sirhan was actually a terminator from the future who arrived too late

Justice delayed is justice denied. At some point we will have to fix this system so that wealthy criminals pay what they owe to society. The lack of justice is destroying America.

Ignore the headline; the article is really about Linda McMahon. Or RFK Jr. Or Elon. Or Pam Biondi. Or Kristi Noem. Or Pete Hegseth's groupchat. Or ppl who believe the 2020 election was stolen. Or raising tariffs will lower prices. Or trans kids are taking over sports See?

National Airport is gonna close for hours, delaying thousands of passengers, because Donald Trump wants someone to bring him a flag via parachute. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... (In 1993 the media made a mini scandal out of Bill Clinton getting a haircut on AF1 that delayed 0 flights)

Hey, remember when Trump told a room of Big Oil CEOs he'd make all their wildest dreams of climate denial come true...for $1B in campaign cash? Now the White House war on the environment is the Trump corruption scandal we don't talk about nearly enough My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

If I had done as many crimes as Elon has, I would not start a public beef with the one guy who has the power to prosecute those crimes.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

A Democratic administration after Elon Musk spends years directly bolstering the competition: "Perhaps we could hazard some subtle indirect criticism?" A Republican administration six seconds after Elon Musk criticizes their bill: "shut it all down. no more money. no more rockets. no more Elon."

when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter. either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 82 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

the core problem with "just triangulate" is that polling shows Harris won "voters who knew what the fuck was going on", which pretty directly implies that you cannot fix whatever problems we have by changing facts. the problem is people who don't know facts.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Principled positions are rarely broadly popular. Looking at the way conservatives love to dry hump their Santa Claus-ified version of MLK, you might be surprised at how unpopular he was at the time. This is Dem cowardice. Another way to justify throwing trans people on the bus. It won't work.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

This is what Western politicians praising Putin want their countries to be like (or what a sizable part of the US electorate voted for)

Please get your air purifiers, extra filters, and masks now, if you haven't already. You can DIY a Corsi-Rosenthal box, buy a HEPA air purifier by Levoit or Coway gently used off FB Marketplace, and dig out your old cloth masks if necessary. Wildfire smoke is no joke.

The flip side of this is an actual power-company employee could visit someone’s house to, say, check on a gas leak, and the frightened people inside won’t answer the doorbell.

Read this whole thread. Consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." are destroying the ethics and brains of our entire society. Shame on any educational institution that accommodates this trash.

Yes, they are still doing it. This isn’t what I think of as “fighting.” At all. The least I expect from these people I voted for is to stand up and refuse to confirm every goddamned one of Trump’s cronies. The fucking least. Apparently that’s too much to expect.

This passage from @michelleyoung.bsky.social’s amazing book THE ART SPY, about foreign Jews being summoned by Nazi-collaborating French police for “status review”—only to be arrested and sent off to internment camps—should sound horrendously fucking familiar to all of us living in Trump’s America.

In fact I can and do still expect you to take antisemitism seriously despite how the right is cynically exploiting it to push an anti-democratic agenda, just as you should still take sexism seriously, even though transphobes are exploiting concerns about sexism to erase trans women from public life.

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social So this murder seems to have been the end result of a targeted anti gay campaign that included burning down their home and killing a pet while San Antonio police refused to intervene

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February. During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.
