I just tried to pre-order the Trump T1 Phone, the new all gold phone from the Trump Organization. The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone. www.404media.co/trump-mobile...

So many of the central identity markers of these groups, like categorical opposition to abortion, have no real scriptural basis, requiring ludicrous hermeneutical gymnastics to rationalize the later doctrine, while clear & explicit commands about treatment of aliens seem easily sloughed off.

The Supreme Court will hear a case next term that deals with an investigation into a chain of pregnancy centers that seek to dissuade women from having abortions.

this thread is GIVING rn

they should have just said "we would like andrew cuomo to be the next mayor" instead of whatever pathetic weirdness this is

"Personalist" is key. Trump foreign policy doesn't have a coherent vision; "isolationist" springs to mind because he's dismantling alliances, but he's also imperialist, routinely threatening and meddling abroad on a whim. It's all less an ideology than a reactionary's emotional urge to cause damage.

Sure, ideally it would be 100-0 but I think it’s fair to say that disobeying court orders is extremely unpopular

NEW: The IRS requires you to do a facial recognition identity check through a private company to log in to many parts of the IRS online, like ind taxpayer accounts. It isn’t doing quality control to see if those checks are working, though. Millions use the service annually

something else worth remembering about melissa hortman: she lost her first two races against the incumbent in her minnesota house seat. then she won and built power for over two decades

That TNG logo actually led to me giving all of the series a light redesign, with the goal of harmonising the logos across the generations. I don't think I ever posted these - except maybe the Enterprise one - because they ended up being less "what if?" and more "so what?" 😄

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Most cracked out news cycle in recent memory. Big thanks to Minnesota law enforcement for fueling this insane conspiracy theory by posting that picture of the words “no kings” with absolutely zero context

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

lmaoo never gets old

You all never going to guess where I’m at.

Steven Leckie of the Viletones has died. He was defining figure in the early Toronto punk scene. I saw the Viletones and Leckie a couple of times. He was always abrasive. But he was true to his code and never faded away. Go to the angels. You left your mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjd...

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Apparently there’s no money for life saving science, but there’s money for a parade.

This is incredible

The people running the team know better, too. But they’ve made a decision to bury their heads in the sand and hope that all of this passes before ICE raids the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

I missed that Jeff Bezos sold the Post to Donald Trump directly.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Police are useless at literally everything

‼️‼️

Trump has not only pardoned insurrectionists who tried to violently overturn an election result but is now “settling” lawsuits by those insurrectionists, giving them multimillion dollar rewards for their political violence. There’s a straight line to the Minnesota assassin trying to seize…

Faaaaaaascism its technofascism

If you haven’t been following it, CBP’s social media posts have been some of the most unhinged, aggressive, and un-American content I’ve ever seen posted to an official USG account. No sense that they answer to the American people. It’s what an invading army posts. www.instagram.com/reel/DK2GVid...

While thunderstorms could disrupt the Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday in D.C., weather will vary at locations around the country where rallies are planned. Check the forecast where many of the main rallies are planned:

Thank you for speaking out.
