"...mainstream revulsion a feature, a sign that the image is made by and for those who get it. Their goal is not to reconcile bitcoin culture & aesthetics to the mainstream, but to reaffirm the barrier between them, & eventually to replace the mainstream altogether." defector.com/what-world-d...

"In essence, the 'urgency' underlying the government’s stay application is the mere fact that it cannot be bothered to wait for the litigation process to play out before proceeding as it wishes," — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court remains one of the biggest threats to liberal democracy.

I think that if you assume that behind the the dregs of far-right social media there is a fascinating human story worth telling you are bound to fuck up

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

People shouldn’t be reporting this as “he returns to face charges.” They should be saying “Trump admin concedes it can bring people back from CECOT and tries some new shit against Abrego Garcia after the old shit didn’t stick.”

It’s very hard to win a malicious prosecution motion to dismiss, but…

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

dude you won't believe it. that violently insecure mad king? he had a falling out with that super annoying failed jester he made grand vizier

Also furious about this

California, btw, is a donor state - it pays almost 90 billion dollars more in federal taxes than it gets back

This is so gross. That creep & the lack of consequences for posting such egregious material was the reason I bolted off Twitter. Simply don’t understand why national media are so deferential to someone who by his own admission here used CSAM as self-serving engagement bait.

As you rise to welcome the day remember…

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper

I've got a new piece out on the astounding abuse of power from Missouri's AG and GOP lawmakers right now, all to try to undo the abortion rights constitutional amendment voters approved months ago—and also, how this should be a reality check on the tactic of "putting abortion on the ballot":

Trump's nominee to head OSHA was formerly in charge of worker safety at Amazon. Says it all. prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

"In two bizarre interactions captured by one student on video, a man who had been trailing the student faked disabilities, and noisily – and falsely – accused a student of attempting to rob him." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Still think e-cargo bikes can’t replace cars for daily life? Stories like this keep proving otherwise. Thousands of miles, fewer car trips, and a better way to live locally. 1/2

Gift link with details on Polis violating state laws to turn over children to ICE: When he shows up on the national scene, treat him like Andrew Cuomo.

always the shittiest people u most expect

you’re laughing? the leopards have resorted to cannibalism and you’re LAUGHING?

It's not doomscrolling today, it's schadenfeed.

Don't let these men and their pissing match distract from the fact Republicans are still trying to rip away healthcare and food from actual children.

Term limited but vote out and harangue people like this forever.

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

why not decommission it the usual way: launching it into a million pieces over protected wetlands

As ICE ramps up immigration arrests in MA, it's started holding people in office building near the Burlington Mall. The facility is not designed to be a detention facility. People are sleeping on concrete floors and lack access to sinks for handwashing www.wbur.org/news/2025/06... @wbur.org

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Still jarring to see it in print. @axios.com

Man if Trump was wrong about Elon, what else might he be wrong about? Sheesh that's a lot to think about.

just thinking about this again

oh is this just a distraction? is that it? a distraction? for rubes? are you the smartest little birthday boy in the whole applebees? is that it? are you three steps ahead? with your mind chess? in your little birthday boy suit? do you have it all figured out? are you mommy’s special buddy?

Coco Gauff becomes the youngest woman to reach the final of Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros in the same season since 2009, when the Madrid Open was first introduced. Tremendous clay court season. 🇺🇸❤️

🍌 Rep Dean tries to get through to Lutnick #TrumpTradeWar

"I bought the US government fair and square" is literally the argument he is making in public.

The American fascist movement appears to be fissuring back into its rival jock and creep factions

Never thought as a former writing professor, I would be giving economics lessons to the Commerce Secretary, but here we are. Trump's chaotic tariffs are rooted in an arbitrary fear of a trade deficit, but a trade deficit means Americans are buying goods — a sign of financial security.

“Donald Trump, who I know to be a pedophile, would have lost the election without my help.”
