where are all the newspaper columnists calling for the cops to violently crack down on CPAC like they do on college kids? go bust some heads and ruin some lives for these scumbags like you do for kids protesting the killing of innocents?

trying to imagine how the media would cover biden doing something so unpopular. but for trump, they just lie and push past it, make up euphemisms and rationalizations

smoking parliaments is catholic coded cuz that is what the og guy fawkes did

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

imagine how monstrous you gotta be to give these pious scumbags the moral high ground

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

It's not about sports.

My thoughts on realism in movies and games

Sen. Heinrich voted for 5 of Trump's 16 Cabinet members, including Doug Burgum at Interior.

Attributed to Napoleon, who ended democracy in French, this quote was also used by Anders Breivik, the far-right anti-immigrant terrorist who murdered 77 people

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

Jamelle Bouie is correct here, in my view. Using the phrase “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico” – the name first applied to that body of water in 1550 – has nothing to do with national pride or ideology and only to do with obedience to Tr•mp. #Obedience #Führerprinzip

Its bizarre that Democrats with the more diverse consultants and strategists got completely blown out of every immigrant news source. Its as if Dem consultants from minority groups are all overly online college grads whose ethnic social bubbles arent majority reflective if their group as a whole.

This post is perfect because I can’t logically poke holes in it but also I know in my soul that it’s wrong and was penned with evil intent.

Gee I wonder why so many more parents are flirting with anti-vaxx beliefs, Emily. Could it be the anti-vaxx adjacent messaging in your own article about this phenomenon? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell

i would simply not have bought and then additionally customized the tackiest "pay attention to me" car of all time. huge skill issue to not just buy an m3

The "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous, but if the press gives in on this, the administration will just keep pushing - maybe conditioning access on deadnaming people, saying Trump won the 2020 election, you name it. Draw a line in the sand now, while the stakes seem small.

i’m way too excited about a bluesky-based instagram replacement. i just really want musk / zuckerberg / all evil rich billionaires that control all online spaces to lose everything

Every new technological advance feels like this: a reimagining of an old technology that worked perfectly fine but which now requires a proprietary infrastructure in order for the new iteration to work properly.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Great example of the interpretation of “journalistic objectivity” that sees lobotomizing yourself as preferable to ever drawing any firm conclusions from any amount of evidence

TAPPING THE SIGN

It's cute of Dem congresspeople to tell us that, unlike us, they simply can't afford to get arrested by police

Does the Times regret its contributions to those attacks?
