Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

This is your occasional reminder that no person who helped torpedo the #Sanders Campaign in 2016 should be listened to about any fucking thing. Bitter? Yes, because Trump would not be POTUS today.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.

I wrote about the free speech advocates who spent the last decade pearl clutching about the campus left while (intentionally or unintentionally) manufacturing consent for the right-wing assault on free expression.

It's an administration full of incompetent sex pest drunks with big debts communicating via unencrypted starlink terminals duct-taped to the white house roof, I strongly suspect this signal chat scandal is the least of our intelligence worries

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

I’ve considered it and, you know what? I don’t fucking care. They’ve already elevated those exact far right outlets at the Pentagon and pushed out legacy media. Legitimate news outfits can take a stand against this now, or they can meekly enable this fascist shit & still get pushed out later.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

What’s happening in North Carolina is way more damaging to democratic norms than trump’s gulf of America troll.

Merrick Garland failed miserably in delivering justice for Trump’s numerous crimes. The absolute LEAST he can do is release Jack Smith’s report so the American people will learn the facts. Publishing the results of special counsel investigations is the norm — burying the truth would be indefensible.

Kamala Harris certifying her own defeat with dignity to a guy who tried to overthrow the government last time to prevent his is a fitting epitaph for our democracy.

And of fucking course the media is congratulating Republicans for passing a neutered budget that stripped cancer funding for kids. No. That is like the bare minimum of their JOB. Fuck Republicans. Fuck Elon Musk. And fuck the media for still failing to cover any of them properly.

in 2009 Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut stood in the way of a public option. Barack Obama then made the biggest mistake of his presidency when he declined to initiate strategic air strikes against select strongholds in Greenwich.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

It's time for a throwback thread, going back to Twitter in June of 2018. "Philip K Dick's sequel to The Man in the High Castle was universally panned when published posthumously and against the late author's wishes."

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it. It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

the american voters who chose this are far less responsible than the reps and appointees and judges in both parties who allowed trump to go unpunished in obvious violation of the public trust and their oaths of office

The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story. And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign
