“You didn’t get here on your own” works in both directions. If you have some privilege, these are the days to use it. If you have some ignorance, these are the days to overcome it. Let’s get to work, please.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

The thing we learned from Web2 is that the most impactful businesses became the most impactful by optimizing for addiction. Which means we should all ask, how would you optimize generative AI for addiction? Whatever makes it the most addictive is probably what it will become.

Now do people believe it? Americans: get out in the streets. Start disobeying orders. And protect the most vulnerable. It should be the least vulnerable on the front lines. You know who you are.

(1/2) Are you willing to hear an optimistic statement for a change? Per major-media reports, Trump didn't pull back the Stefanik nomination simply because he worried the GOP could lose her seat. He and his advisors were worried about a series of events that could lead to them losing the _House_.

Yes! Gum up the works, stand in the way, “forget” the password, and just say no. Especially if you (currently) have the privilege to do so as a citizen who (as of yet) can’t be disappeared.

It is vital that every action is documented and published. And that people read these stories. And record and reflect on these daily events. Don't look away. History is happening.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US. ⚽️🏆 America is clearly not safe to travel to. 🇺🇸 ❌ Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here. 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸 Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.

I think a big part of the strategy for those of us who are white and citizens is to get in the way and get loud. Local governments try to pass harmful policies? Get in the way. Local schools try to get rid of DEI staff? Get loud. And when ICE tries to abduct someone? GET IN THE WAY AND GET LOUD.

What I do not think the Washington understands is that it’s not Trump in himself that’s discrediting us to the allies. Every now and then in a democracy, the people elect a turd. It’s that the Constitution gives them a Mad King Removal button and they are too cowardly and cynical to press it.

The Onion is aggressively on sale. Subscribing helps us hire comedy writers who get health insurance and even food to eat, with their mouths. That food is converted into energy which allows them to make sentences that make the government sad. Sign up to let this continue: membership.theonion.com

Reminder: You can just…do stuff. You don’t have to wait for your boss to tell you to. You don’t have to wait to be told you’re good enough. As long as you’re not hurting anybody, and especially if doing it would help somebody… you can just do it.
