The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

I think a lot of the "don't say shit that will get you blackbagged under any circumstances" talk about opsec should actually be more like "understand that anything you say might get you blackbagged and the least risk-averse of us should show courage"

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

seems like a small point but i wish reporters would stop calling it DEI when the white house internally calls it DEIA. they remove the A because it stands for accessibility. they want to ruin the lives of disabled people but they don't want to talk about it publicly.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

It’s not just that Trump admires Putin, he’s adopting his playbook. Trump’s comments today on Canada (“an arbitrary border”) and Greenland (“maybe more soldiers go there”) is EXACTLY how Putin talked about Ukraine. None of this is funny. It’s an explicit threat to sovereign nations.

Yesterday, I published an investigation into a secretive & abusive NYPD unit led by Mayor Eric Adams’ buddies. Adams has embraced the unit, the Community Response Team, even after NYPD officials raised red flags. This is what that has wrought. All caught on video we obtained. THREAD.

The girl was 12 years old. He's one of Trump's biggest promoters and legitimizers. He's prayed over Trump in the White House. Trump's been to his church. Greg Abbott tapped him on the anti-trans bathroom bills. Now he faces 100+ years in prison. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/megachurch...

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

I have all the grace in the world for latecomers, it's all hands. I also know that folks who didn't give a shit until it hurt them ain't my fucking brethren; we can have a shared aim and walk together for as long as it lasts. I can be polite to a mercenary, knowing their rules. They're not trusted

One of the major problems with billionaires owning major media is that it literally does not matter if they are profitable. They can take a loss on them because the propaganda and narrative control is worth every penny.

Since this is probably about to be relevant: a reminder that when you poll the general public, they estimate NASA to be between 10-30% of the federal budget. It's less than 1%. All that amazing science and technology and wonder is got for less than a penny on the dollar of your taxes.

This is the ultimate goal of the "Gender Critical" movement: to make being trans illegal, and to make prisons torture for trans people It's not that the American GC movement is more extreme or at odds with the UK one, they are just further ahead

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.
