I like presidents who aren’t convicted of felonies.

Trump does NOT inhabit the place we all call reality. He inhabits a place where he IS the universe. He NEVER looks or sees beyond himself. Peace is NOT his end goal. It's a pathway to a Nobel Peace Prize, which he craves as a parasite. He is pathologically aberrant and neurologically deteriorating.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

My heart is with my Iranian friends and their families. May everyone live.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

I'm starting to suspect getting the inner thoughts of hundreds of people beamed directly into my eyes every day is not good for my ability to focus

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Hell no.

Mary Oliver taking us all to task.

Reproductive "farming" of women is also part of the broligarchs' colonialist enterprise. This isn't "harem drama:" the exploitation of women's reproductive capacity as a natural resource comes from the same place and project as the exploitation of a territory's minerals and oil.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

American women couldn't get a mortgage, a bank account, or a business loan in their own name until 1974. Single + married women had no right to birth control until 1971. Entire generations of women were lost because they didn't have the legal right to control their own money or their own body.

Whatever else happens in the days ahead it's important to understand that tonight, here and now, Elon Musk ate a spectacular amount of shit. Humiliating. Face completely full of shit. Caked on his face, seeping into his pores, a kabuki mask of feces leaking into his mouth. He ate so much shit here

This has been empirically demonstrated many times! You can’t expect men to have a place of domination and superiority over women in the home and treat women as equals outside of it.

Those who seek to dominate require their victims to resist (and have their resistance overcome) to complete the drama of their own power. So submission does not actually appease the autocrats: They will make greater and greater demands until they either extract resistance or destroy their target.

These are the dumbest fucking guys.

The crisis is less “is Elon Musk the president” — whatever — than the reality that the United States functionally has no one in the role. Trump heads a syndicate of plunderers inside the institutional remnants of the U.S. government — but has in no sense carried out the duties of his office.

This is a remarkable change: since Covid, an additional 5 million Americans report having a disability. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

The way to understand the hysteria over "woke" is through the lens of Ignazio Silone's famous description of fascism as "a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place." Reactionary forces always begin by conjuring a looming leftist threat. threadreaderapp.com/thread/16865...

“I wanted to get a better understanding of what is normal and what is abnormal about these past three weeks" maybe I have gone soft but this college senior on why they went to this teach-in stopped me in my tracks

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

This. Especially Senate Republicans.

I'm not a legal scholar, but the Wurman/Barnett op-ed reveals a pathology I see in certain segments of academic philosophy as well - a prioritization of intellectual gamesmanship, of who can make the "cleverest" arguments using sources in bizarre ways, totally forgetting about real people's lives.
