Wow no shit. If only someone had mentioned this in 2016.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

And this is true for every person participating: drivers, mechanics, pilots. All.

Tim Walz would never

man fuck these fucking people

The responsibility for finding joy lies within each of us. Joy isn't an external commodity we can simply acquire. Rather, it's an internal state that requires cultivation and nurturing. To experience its full bloom, we must actively work to create the right conditions for it to flourish.

New York. A word pls

🚨 METAPHOR ALERT 🚨

A journalist I respect wrote this and it needs to be screamed at newsrooms across the country. Dear news journalists—DO BETTER.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

Reposting for “prolonged kinetic contact” which is an excellent turn of phrase for this

Friends, this whole thing is about to tip over. We’re blowing past every single offramp

But also, why does Trump care about losing the next election, you know, the one he can’t run in

Sounds of Kyiv this night, while Russia was attacking us with ballistic missiles. Pacifism is privilege (c)

Al Gore, you son of a bitch I'm in

incredibly weird that we can't go a week without hearing from two bugeyed fascist geeks about how much we need babies. who appointed these porcelain dorks? where's our weekly vanity fair profile of a circle k manager named kyle who thinks the world is overpopulated and everyone should be assfucking

“Let them eat shit” —Republicans

everyone who said dems needed to be fighting for every single inch and delaying trump’s staffing and govt funding as much as possible was right. everyone who said to lay low and wait for trump to self-impeach was wrong.

We've had three months in which blatant crimes and astounding lapses of judgment are treated as normal by the legislature and the press. Any one of these individually might have ended an entire presidency. It's created a lawless atmosphere, and its really hard at this point to feel like

Modest proposal: Shut bsky down every night between like 6-8pm so we can all touch grass and maybe a puppy we could call it Pudding Time

A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

just gonna keep posting it

Words to live by.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

I manage information so boring i can’t give it away and I can’t download Spotify on my work computer

Five alarm fire

We are spending $6k on summer camps alone this year—not optional, because both of us work and summer is bafflingly 12 weeks long here

Haha $5k is two (2) months of daycare

the amazing hubris of people who grew extremely wealthy and successful because of the stability that these systems provided then deciding that they probably didn’t do anything that important because wealthy and successful people never even saw them do anything is a v shitty way for us all to die

Political scientist here and I’d like a word with any political scientist in the the “but not all” group www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

“Elon Musk says!” “Elon Musk says!” Idiots.

I’m dying 😂

Tesla stock rises on news that its profits only went down by 70%

I've been struggling to write anything substantive about our contemporary situation for reasons that John Ganz nails in his most recent newsletter. It's all just so braincrushingly stupid and mendacious. It's not even in the same ballpark as "rational public discourse."

“I’m one of the good people,” I say as I drag an unaccompanied 4-year-old girl into an immigration court. “People will remember this as a *good* thing I’m doing. Not, like, evil.”

The "Tacos Chotiner" tweet remains undefeated

Which every single Senate Democrat implicitly supported by voting for Rubio, nice job again there, definitely keep voting for these people

For example, they could get records from OB/GYNs and use them to identify women of childbearing age who are on birth control

People are maybe prepared to see prices go up, but I think they’re utterly unprepared for “You cannot buy this at *any* price.”
