Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

they needed ten to break the filibuster and they got ten. they always get the exact amount. every single fucking time.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Again: what happens here in Tennessee is coming your way next. Pay attention. They openly say they want this to end up at the Supreme Court. tennesseelookout.com/2025/03/06/t...

They screwed this all up.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

If I’ve learned one thing in the past 6 months, it’s that my family consumes far fewer eggs than most.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Breaking: In an executive order that critics claim was clearly influenced by Elon Musk, President Trump orders children to spend time with their estranged father.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

health insurance company emails love to be like "you submitted a new claim" i didn't do shit, i went to the doctor for 20 minutes and then you all made it cost a pretend thousand dollars until you agreed it didn't

if you're on the run from the law you have to stick to the chain restaurants that don't have extradition agreements. Waffle House. White Castle. Popeye's. Hardee's.

You used to call me on my self-own

TMZ had me on to discuss my thoughts on the UnitedHealth CEO’s death and the piece I wrote about it: www.usermag.co/p/yes-we-wan...

What I find so frustrating about the last decade of Trans Panic is that there must have been at least some neutral journalists. Why didn't any of them just ask a few probing questions to "Gender Criticals" like this? It's so easy to get them to contradict themselves.

One of the most successful political marketing campaigns of all time has been republicans convincing the majority of Americans that their tax cut plans benefit them.

stardew valley puts a wizard in your rural farming town and he sometimes does magic but his main thing is he had a messy divorce

You know what's so funny I want to cry? There are elected members of the Democratic party who work endlessly to make it better and more responsive to real people and does anyone listen to them? No. They are trashed as "the left," "progressives," "unreasonable." But fascists? Oh, we must listen!!

Not sure at this point if the #49ers have ever seen snow before. #billsmafia

My brain at 1 am

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

What else is going on…… Oh, I made party sandwiches by baking focaccia in a bundt pan.

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

Every article about blue sky: a group of relatively like minded people have found a place where they enjoy hanging out because it isn't infested with nazis and ads for penis pumps. But is that bad?

Got a chance to play #Fromage last night. It's a simultaneous worker placement game where the board rotates each round like a lazy susan. Plus you're making cheese! It was super fun and took ~45 minutes to play including the rules explanation!

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

What makes Bluesky better : the timeline does NOT Auto-refresh!

Hey, remember the Elian Gonzalez saga? Remember how much righteous anger there was in Republican circles over this image of one (1) armed federal agent taking custody of (1) undocumented minor in order to reunite him with his father? These are the images Republicans will soon be celebrating.

Truly one of the greatest uses of a bullhorn I’ve ever witnessed. New Yorkers remain undefeated. 🫡
