The thing is, if you think of immigration the other way around -- i.e., instead of, "does a state have a right to control its borders", you ask "should people be able to refuse to allow you to work or live near them because of where they were born" -- there's sort of obviously only one answer.

It’s so funny how the same centrists arguing Democrats should pivot away from identity issues are also incredibly weak on economic issues. Rahm is like, let’s stop talking about bathrooms and start talking about means tested tax credits.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Regarding my earlier quoteskeet about Khanna, I'm beginning to think it might be rude to the volcano.

Another plume of smoke has arrived in Northeast Ohio, and air quality has dipped to unhealthy levels. It's not showing up on AirNow yet, since those data are on a 2 hour delay, but you can see it via the @cityofcleveland.bsky.social CLEANinCLE monitors. issacspsg.grafana.net/public-dashb...

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

Look I realize the meme is almost a decade old at this point but even I am in awe how Matt Yglesias and Ro Khanna didn’t even finish unpacking from WelcomeFest before declaring “let’s compromise with the Nazi”

No exaggeration, I think Reps Ro Khanna and Ritchie Torres should be thrown into a volcano.

Currently my favorite distraction on TikTok is this man who is CLEARLY in like, THE BEST shape, finding things that other athletes can do (and often the things they're doing are typically femme) and seeing if he also can do that With the "assistance" of the best dog named Dootie I love this

IMPORTANT: Please remember to loudly bully and ridicule your local Dem politicians if they decide that El*n might be a good “ally” for the party

Counterpoint: maybe don't mock Trump for backing down from things we actively wish he'd back down from. "You didn't have the courage to fuck us as badly as you claimed you did" simply is not the own these dweebs seem to think it is.

she’s a human and thus capable of mistakes but honestly anyone who has anything negative to say about Greta is not my friend. Your critique even in good faith (which it rarely is) is nothing compared to her courage.

Matthew Miller was an active part of the genocide in Gaza. This is not an exaggeration. He stood there day in and day out telling journalists citing journalists and human rights reports about Israeli war crimes and he denied them time after time after time. news.sky.com/story/former...

A lot of unhinged replies to this post seem to think this is the first time NPR has done the (weekly) News Quiz, but these topics DO seem like NPR should consider hanging it up.

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

I am begging Democrats to react like human beings to literally anything. It's absolutely unhinged how everything they say is blunted and weak, as if their top priority is to never, ever have a strong opinion about anything. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

Kirsten Beyer's work on the Voyager relaunch novels are some of my favorites. She had such a good grasp of the characters, and I really enjoyed the places that series went.

My gf left a high control situation with toxic maga family and realized her beliefs mostly align with the left. She had to undo a bunch of perceptions that were basically "the left hates X," upon learning they don't, right-wingers just say that about the left.
