I feel tweeting this, under her own name on her public twitter account her husband follows, should be the last word on liz. just imagine being any of the people in a relationship like this.

Phil Murphy sucked up to Trump on congestion pricing and look what it got him: congestion pricing is still in effect and the Trump administration is going after him. never try to compromise with Trump because he will just think you’re a sucker

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!" They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and retry him for deportation in a lawful way. That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

There has never been and never will be a birthrate induced shortage of human beings on this planet. There are many reasons one might want children, as I do. It is simply not the case that anyone in particular has a responsibility to consider having children to perpetuate the existence of humanity.

I'll give you a hint: there's plenty of babies, they just don't want to take care of the ones we have. There's a reason they're trying to use this weird terminology about natalism, and not just talking about making sure every young human has the best care and the brightest possible future.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it illegal for married women to vote, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

A thing Dems should steal from Trump to keep stuff like this in the public consciousness is hammering nicknames to keep these things top of mind. He's not Pete Hegseth anymore he's "Signal Pete Hegseth" or "Signal Pete" or just "Signal"

In any functioning democracy the elimination of an extant department that protects children from lead poisoning would be a game ender for the entire administration under which it occurred. I’ll expect a strong statement from Chuck Schumer and some fundraising texts.

The new McCarthyism. Violent censorship of left-wing political speech in the name of national interest. And like the Red Scare, these actions were enabled by many Democrats who thought they could do reasonable, managed suppression, until the right inevitably took the reins.
