De Blasio having the time of his life rn

Boy we bout to have an Arsenal fan in City Hall

Giving the game away that Old gate was not about health or age but simply access

Hey he’s got experience being a weirdo flunky

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Genuinely think they don't realize they're going to be dealing with massive crowds in every city in the country this weekend.

Quite the photo from the AP, via The SF Chronicle =>

CNY WHATUP

"It's my people today and yours tomorrow! Remember this day! Remember Ghorman!"

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

Violence against political opposition is a sure sign of democratic collapse. We are in very dangerous waters. Everyone must resist now.

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

i think this is exactly right

Like ultimately the GOP just doesn't care about other people and are ok with it if they suffer and die. They used to try to mask this with bullshit claims that the safety net actually harms poor people or that it would destroy the economy or whatever. Now they don't feel they have to anymore.

Cant be more obvious that Bezos is completely in the tank for Trumps fascist project

Been sayin’ it

Republicans have no idea why they win elections.

Now he's comin' again for the Scoleri Brothers

This Alabama letter is quite the doozy:

To keep going with the Library of America series, here’s an excerpt from Alabama’s letter urging Kentucky to secede:

With the caveat that this is NOT me saying don’t bring certain flags… I think it becomes all the more important that we have a phalanx of people who can form a perimeter of American flags at the drop of a hat

Beautiful, and I look forward to adding it to my hat

1861 -- 2025 THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC

A BRT to Anfield? I love it when my distinct interests come together

“Good Vibrations” is one of the most immaculate pop songs ever recorded. It’s like an entire symphony condenses to three and a half glorious minutes. RIP to Brian Wilson, one of the best to ever have done it.

Someone needs to tell the pundits before they recycle their received wisdom again.

again, the more this stuff is in the news, the worse Trump does on it. he recovered from being completely underwater on it when the coverage of El Salvador died down, but now it's falling hard

Famous Amos Lawrence quote: "We went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists."

Hey it’s funny, as luck would have it I happened to read South Carolina’s secession declaration earlier today and whaddya know

Well, I’ll be humming “Good Vibrations” for the rest of the day

A whole crowd of people belting "Battle Cry of Freedom," while wearing Union kepis would absolutely break the minds of the Fox News crowd
