Civilization is such a thin veneer.

Oh my. RIP to this man who had a huge impact on my musical tastes.

🤣

Masks Off, Hoods On: Republicans Are Revealing Their Worst Selves The modern GOP doesn't need dog whistles anymore. Their racism, hate, & cruelty are out in the open & reveal the greed and white supremacy that have defined the party, and country, for ages. thelefthook.substack.com/p/masks-off-...

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

LOL. I'm excited to bring #BlackMusicMonth to Blacksky!

Presumably somewhere in the White House someone is working on a letter threatening to strip the Catholic Church of its tax-exempt status for being too woke.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

They’re detaining US citizens, arresting judges, and subpoenaing journalists because they want to scare us into silence about their authoritarian agenda. It’s not going to happen. Let’s show them what we’re made of.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ~The Great Gatsby

Just a reminder for anyone surprised by what’s happening now….

Well, if Trmp wanted to do something to take people’s attention away from Signalgate, he has succeeded beyond all expectations….wtf

No lies told here.

Please take this seriously: If we get out of this alive, we literally need to push HARD for deep structural changes across law, policy, the judiciary, and the ways in which elected officials get coopted by donors. There is no other way to secure the future.

You automatically knew the Pentagon and US intelligence was going to be fucked up when a drunken Fox host rapist was chosen by a deranged felon to replace a supremely qualified highly decorated 4-star General and now our national security is in the toilet.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Well this is awkward

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.
