if the spat continues and Canadians stop going to Florida...

They absolutely should stop going to Florida. There are much better places to go anyway...Mexico, Cuba, etc.

Russian authorities abduct Ukrainian journalist, torture her for months w electrocution until she dies in custody, weighing less than 30kg. #russianwarcrimes khpg.org/en/160881447...

Did you ever notice how moving to "the middle" usually means a Democrat must embrace Republican positions? That's because there is no actual "center" in politics. It's a false concept that somehow only tilts politics to the right. Republicans never move an inch, except further toward extremes.

Because I suspect this is going to get lost in the flood of everyone paying attention to Elon, here is the current, Russia-supporting Secretary Of The United States admitting outright that he understands Russia likely has plans on invading other European nations.

Look at all the cops! Imagine how much affordable housing could be built and on-demand drug treatment provided for the money our cities [this is Chicago] are burning paying for this.

As of today, there are more kids infected with measles than there are trans athletes playing in college sports in the U.S.

They’re going to cut Medicaid

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom for anything. President. Vice president. Dog catcher. Nothing.

It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.

Secession. What they're describing is secession. www.wired.com/story/startu...

If progressives want to win back young men they need to build protected bike lanes and high-quality greenways. They need to stop painting lanes in the door zone.

Trump 2.0 keeps giving us object lessons in *not* complying in advance — those who do, still get screwed over — yet so many people in charge of things refuse to learn.

🚨If you are not tracking the techno-fascist push for anti-democratic "Freedom Cities" it is time to tune in. These bros are trying to live out their post-democracy dystopian fantasies in real time. Give @gilduran.com a follow for more.

The Ides of March 44 BC is notorious as the day that Roman senators wore pink to protest the actions of Julius Caesar

"What I’m learning is to trust, more than ever, my intuition,” Mr. Ive said. “That’s the thing that I’m most excited about.”" What do we call this, the'Fallacy of Oldness'?

conservative evangelicals spent a quarter century explicitly tying their religious identity to the most extreme and jingoistic forms of american nationalism up to and including embracing one of the worst degenerates this country has ever produced and they refuse to take responsibility for it

I would like to point to this post I made 5 days ago.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

Mmmmmm, I love the smell of burning Harvard in the morning.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

On the plane yesterday, sat next to a European couple living in the US, and the topic of whether they were thinking of returning to Europe came up. One of them noted they felt safer here because "you have oceans." But the general agreement was that right now there's probably nowhere truly safe.

Have any ex US presidents commented yet? Need them to openly support Ukraine 🇺🇦

Where is Newsom?

Has any US president’s opposition been more vindicated than the Trump critic? Every key criticism or warning we’ve made over the past decade has been proven true. He is exactly who we said he is and is doing exactly what we said he would.

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

Today’s Oaxaca, Mexico wall art. The world understands.

The exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today in which our country attacked the victim in defense of a brutal aggressor has to be one of the most shameful moments in Modern American history.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

from russia with love

Our allies just witnessed Vance and Trump beating up Zelensky in service of Putin. They realize that US is no longer a trusted ally but a potential enemy. They will unify to protect themselves. We will be further isolated.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

With every ounce of my being, I want Trump and that hillbilly fuck of a VP to be humbled in the most forceful way possible. I denounce these fucking wastes of life and hope they burn in hell for this shameless performance on the world stage. God fucking damnit!
