Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

Baseball: to get a really good player, you need to spend like $25-30 million per year The Red Sox, a Smart Team: Ah, but what if we instead get several very badly injured players for only $20 million per year, per injured player?!

I think the craziest thing about our time is that social media gives us a firsthand look at how vapid and self-centered these people are, but we still can't get dipshits to stop worshipping them.

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

The reason we need to defeat Republicans is to keep trans people safe. If you’re willing to abandon trans people to beat Republicans that means you’ve decided to start by losing, and you’ve taken a path that won’t even beat Republicans in the election you’ve chosen to make meaningless.

This past year a trustee told a professor I know that “I don’t know why the university has employees it can’t just fire whenever it wants.” Some of the power and goals of trustees now are structural but universities are increasingly in the hands of people who don’t believe in them

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

He and his husband were terrorized by homophobes who murdered him, in case you didn't know, which you very understandably might not given the headlines.

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

So when I talk about how violent anti-immigrant messaging is bipartisan and everyone is being asked to vote for this I’m talking about shit like Christopher the blue senator from Connecticut complaining that Trump isn’t deporting enough

I was gonna be nicer about this but I just can't. It's a tiktok style video in which Schumer advocates the US getting dragged into a hot war with Iran. The awkward attempts at wit only add to the absurdity. Potentially the worst video a Democratic leader has put out in the social media era.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

This is the ur-NYT column, the template, the holy mountain on which their ideal columnists are all born: of course we don’t endorse what these nasty fascists are doing but if you think about it they have a point and (inhales deeply, turns to camera) It’s Complicated.

Musk has now traveled through an entire arc of embracing anti-black crime panic narratives, embracing overt race science, embracing swastika-bearing neo-Nazis, openly promoting Nazi conspiracy theories, introducing them throughout government policy - all without political elites noticing or caring.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Toxic to the rule of law, and yet another example of ICE/CBP deliberately not looking for all those supposed criminals, drug traffickers, terrorists, etc. They're going for literally the least dangerous, most law-abiding people they can find, the ones following every rule. The easiest targets.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

AI isn’t fundamentally reshaping society, and it’s deeply frustrating to see even its opponents parroting this phrase. If the MAHA fake-citation scandal shows us anything it’s that “AI” is a rhetorical device an alibi allowing a powerful minority to remake society w impunity for their own benefit.
