The Colorado AG said “this attack appears to be a hate crime given the group that was targeted.” He added, “People may have differing views about…the Israeli-Hamas conflict, but violence is never the answer to settling differences.” 100% agree. Shocking:

This is just fanfic. A theoretical situation created just to chide a group. It’s more proof that certain types would rather play pretend pundit than real critic and it’s easier to do that with dems

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

This is what "anti-DEI" means to the Trump administration. It's not "some corporate DEI measures are pointless or counterproductive," it's "women and people of color are presumptively unqualified for important government jobs"

Yes, this is very much worth reading. A summary of engineering gap between Musk's longtime promises to land people on Mars by next year, and real-world explosive results. Also, why clunky old-tech NASA/Apollo had a much better record.

What if there’s a fundamental problem of democracy when a whole area of policy does not have any voting constituency who is directly individually subjected to it What if that allows people to treat the whole thing as a canvas for values instead of an infrastructure that dictates lives

Given the timing of this, I wonder whether it was meant as pre-peace talk message to Putin, with promises of worse.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

Unacceptable. They're also using lot of resources to arrest people for interfering with immigration raids. I guess when you're no longer investigating public corruption, you have more time to hunt down ladies who make it slightly more difficult to arrest immigrants showing up for court hearings.

The Trump administration deported a 31-year-old Salvadoran man minutes after a federal appeals court barred his removal while his case proceeded, the government admitted in a court filing this week.

The interesting thing about people dragging the folks in that NYT piece who said that they didn’t vote for moms to get deported is that the article is about how these women are organizing for a member of their community, aggressively and openly, and actually, that’s good.

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Vought is lying. 60-70% of Project 2025's executive action proposals have been initiated or implemented — like gutting education and environmental laws. 30-40% is currently proposed as legislation — gutting healthcare, banking deregulations, voter suppression, and more.

When we get to the other side of this, we need to work towards ending selective college admissions. I'm tired of hearing about them, they've very obviously deranged politics, and they're a distraction from higher ed as experienced by most. Enough is enough.

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

Despite all their contradictions and lies, MAGA has been remarkably consistent in one area: their hatred for America. They hate the people, hate the places, hate the very idea of it. MAGA changes positions on a whim all the time, but they will never, even by accident, make Americans' lives better.

i feel people should be able to do what they want to do i also feel that sports betting in its current form is so obviously predatory it's well beyond "let people do what they want" territory, but more "we can't let this much harm be inflicted by a system that's, y'know, rigged so the house wins"
