yes they are. they are christians and you have to deal with that

When I talk w lawmakers about how to fight for democracy in this moment, I emphasize the need to use their physical bodies. (in the way Lander and Padilla did). Show authentic moral courage and use your physical body. Strongly worded letters & Statements mean very little given what is at stake.

Mike Huckabee AND an overwhelming majority of White Christian Americans.

We only do patio season now, on off days, and sadly... no, the homemade ketchup has only gotten worse

but also in north minneapolis if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up and barges into your home, you have to host him for five hours

When a bigot tells you who they are, believe them the 1st time they pull a shotgun on someone for jogging while Black www.inquirer.com/politics/ele... #StayWoke

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Approved.

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

If it's a white supremacist project, how come I saw an Asian guy roughing up the New York City Comptroller, who is white? My latest, for The Free Press:

A week after 75 Dems vote for a resolution expressing gratitude toward ICE in a resolution that pretended to be about antisemitism, ICE goons arrest the Jewish comptroller of NYC without cause.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Based on how these men are dressed how would you know who they are, who they are working for, what their authority is? No badges, no uniforms, at lease some are without masks this time.

This is bravery and decency. This is what people upset about this administration want. If you really believe this stuff is wrong, and you have a public profile and principles and want to say you're a leader, then get out there and do the damn thing.

I’m a broken record about this but from *the first day* that a website started selling books that, with shipping, were more expensive than bookstores, the success of the trillion dollar companies shaping both global culture and the human brain has had infinitely more to do with novelty than utility.

You might not care who Curtis Yarvin is, but JD Vance and right-wing militants do.

This is when I stopped going to theatres. And now, nothing about the experience seems pleasant anymore, or worth the cost, so I haven't gone back. And with the death of movie sites, and the loss of Twitter, there doesn't seem to be a centralized location to really hold discussions anymore either.

Federal agents just illegally detained Brad Lander in New York City

Look, I don’t much care what Tulsi Gabbard says either, but here’s the thing: I didn’t appoint her to be my Director of National Intelligence.

I straight up thought "Could somebody please tell the Democrats that using the lost seeing stones is dangerous because we don't know who else might be watching."

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? I don't do this as a job anymore, but... you're actually buried 4 feet deep, not 6.

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I think this quote from an email I received yesterday says it best: "'Tom Homan is a bitch' is an implicit refusal to do access journalism, that's why I hit subscribe."

I watched Heart Eyes. 📽️ #Filmsky

White moderates have always been as big a threat as any Republican and recently, they are just as dangerous as any of the fascists because they don’t believe anything beyond protecting themselves and selling whoever they can out to maintain their power. Mlk jr warned about them for a reason.

I love waking up and immediately rolling over to check my phone to find out if the dying empire I live inside has embroiled itself in yet another fucking hot war that roughly 80% of people don’t want to be in

I don't know exactly what happened at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest but it sure as fuck looks like a Peace Police motherfucker saw a brown person with a gun, lost their shit, straight up murdered Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, and shot the dude accused of "drawing his Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Personally, I’m of the “what does a relationship with these bigots get you? What’s so great about it you’re willing to endure the bigot bullshit? If you weren’t related, would you hang out with them?” BUT… this is right, as long as you let them know they’re wrong, and a bad person for it, you do you

If they bring back the draft for WW3 maybe that will cure the male loneliness epidemic.

Free speech absolutism strikes again.

This is tangential but a thing I've learned as a person who is related to Fox-brained Republicans: they really think they can steamroll and are ready for ~ arguments ~ but they truly do not know what to do with "Well, that's an awful thing to say and you should be ashamed, anyway, how's the pie"

I’ll never argue with someone who wants to do some batshit “wellness” cure for themselves, whether it’s raw milk, horse paste, colloidal silver, or not masking, whatever fucking nonsense these stupid fucks latch onto. The way I see it, the problem will eventually work itself out best for everyone.
