Kidnapping people to the 5th Circuit to circumvent ordinary judicial process is abhorrent to the rule of law, but fine with five justices of the United States Supreme Court.

by and large, the people who fetishize the return to factories and manual labor are people who've never done that. my dad delivered beer and his back was so shot by age 35 that when he finished work, he'd come home and lay flat on his back until supper because it hurt too much to stand.

We heard anecdotally that Canadians weren’t visiting the states, now we have the data. A massive, shocking drop.

Timothy Snyder: “The American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous.” [theguardian.com]

I just spit out my drink. Jesse Waters: “You were never on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK, Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.”

so to be absolutely clear: the black man hired for the job did it competently for four years, only to be replaced by the unqualified white guy who has careened from fuck up to fuck up think ive got that right.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

I really don't understand why these scroungers get two paid for helicopters yet air ambulance relies on charity

This should 100% be the strategy!!!

Elbows up, Canada.

Let it be noted that the Democratic politician with as much proven crossover appeal as any in the country has done it while making a point of not giving in to the resegregators and transphobes.

Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness

Beatriz Whitford-Rodriguez, 13, secured a spot at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., after spelling “sauerkraut” correctly.

One hundred percent!

If you’re an academic invited to give a talk or attend a workshop there, just decline by saying “I don’t want to risk getting deported”

Again, all of these theories of political messaging are rooted in completely ahistorical and antifactual levels of absolute contempt for voters and their ability to understand even basic abstractions

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

“Area merchants uniformly like the concept of what the mafia set out to do—provide protection from unexpected disasters—but have been frustrated by the threats of broken kneecaps and the expensive bribes.”

Red-backed Fairywren, Eagleby Wetlands, Australia #birds #nature

This has been mentioned repeatedly but I still do not see the young straight male demographic receiving anymore scorn than any other. I do not understand why the immediate “solution” is kid gloves when no other demographic gets treated so delicately and they don’t become a problem over it.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

I know suburban people aren't serious about Minneapolis crime because no one mentions the roving turkey gangs and how, insanely, geese strongholds in North Minneapolis are keeping us safe. I'm surrounded by bird cartels. This is hell.

Hakeem Jeffries needs to resign. JFC

Trump is LYING about Social Security right now. Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." They are cutting staff drastically at Social Security to make it harder for seniors to get their benefits. These corrupt billionaires need to keep their HANDS OFF Social Security!

@alaskaairlines.bsky.social @southwestairlines.bsky.social are any of your executives alarmed about aviation safety now that musk is dismantling the FAA? We the passengers are very concerned

One hundred percent

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

As per usual, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social has managed to distill exactly what needs to be said. Litigation is crucial. Yes, the courts are captured. Yes, laws are not real. Whatever. We should still be litigating tooth and nail.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”
