It is also clearly not appreciated widely enough how absolutely fucked the rest of the States would be without California, on the basis of the food it provides the country alone.

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

It's beyond depressing to see the way outlets like ABC News and the Washington Post are covering the very thin allegations against Abrego Garcia-- and mininizing the news that the ADA there resigned rather than prosecute this case. THAT is the news, but they're pushing the WH line. Infuriating

As other people have pointed out, California's Republican House delegation could easily put a stop to this by withholding their support for the reconciliation bill, and yet there's no chance that they will

If @chrismurphyct.bsky.social really believes this he should put his body on the line to shut down the Senate and help people prepare for mass strikes not just forming another PAC. Absolutely maddening inconsistency between words and actions.

An inspiring story: U Mich president withdraws his signature on a letter defending academic freedom because he wants to leave and get paid to join Ron DeSantis's war on higher education, and then doesn't get the Florida job because he supports vaccination www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/06/haha...

So many genuinely alarming aspects to this but one that stands out to me now is how easily such an ignoramus could be lead by the nose. Having a president that isn’t just literate but actually knows shit as well as what shit the don’t know is a core prerequisite for the job on Earth-2. .

There are the rubes and there are the disingenuous. The former should have know by Year of Our Lord 2024 that #1 Trump lies and #2-99 Trump lies. Maybe if they can be convinced of it now, they can get a bucket of water. The latter are on the fast track to a shame-entry into MAGA.

I mean he did say he’d target gang members. But you just have to be born earlier then yesterday to understand that was never going to be even a low priority let alone the sole focus. The man’s entire campaign was bald-face lying & everybody knew it. Except folks who are either rubes or disingenuous

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were legally protected against removal. This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks can't be sent home.

I knew the COVID pandemic broke a lot of minds but every day we’re introduced to new depths. This virulent denialism is not a great sign for our chances of fighting other inconvenient truths about the natural world, if you catch my drift.

Does STAT have a bar for the news where it's in the public interest that the reporting not be behind one of the higher paywalls I've seen a news outlet? Because it seems like this should meet any such standard.

This is a serious over-correction to the “everybody should go to college” messaging Millennials grew up with. Why does it have to be either/or? It doesn’t: we can provide affordable college and on-ramps for the trades. We’re the richest country ever.

In the same way that the brand of Christianity that Trump’s most zealous followers practice is an anti-Christian heresy that actually disdains many core tenets of Christianity, Trumpist patriotism is anti-American in a very deep and fundamental way.

The point is a simple one. When the foundations of civic democratic America are being systematically gutted by the most reactionary administration at least in modern American history we shld be even less patient than usual with clout chasing lefty pablum making a perverse common cause with reaction.
