It's so fucking insane that a state with nukes is attacking a state without nukes on the grounds that they might one day in the future have nukes and not a single person in the media is stating that fact.

This feels, uh, like something [else] bad is gonna happen.

I realize I'm asking for the moon, but these constant admonitions to Act Right In a Democratic Society must, at minimum be equally directed at police

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

i don’t need my law degree to tell you that telling a police officer to “honor your oath bitch” is protected first amendment speech this dude needs to sue expeditiously

Underrated thing about Trump is he's genuinely bad at the patronage side of political gangsterism, you're supposed to dole out cushy borderline no-show jobs to the faithful but Hegseth and Bongino have genuinely hard jobs that are making them crash out like Meadow Soprano's roommate

For fuck's sake do not sit down during a protest that gets out of control. DO NOT SIT DOWN. Please, stop telling people to do this.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

maybe building sycophancy engines was bad

Just thinking about this one again and how strong the “you guys wanna see a dead body?” vibes are

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

*extreme Shania Twain voice* LET’S GO GIRLS!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

It seems likely this will kill any prospect of a deal with Iran. It will be more motivated now to develop nuclear weapons. And it will conclude that should it reach a deal with the United States, Israel might still attack.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

“I am reversing the Invasion. It's called Remigration.”

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

The second Republican lawmaker THIS YEAR who's been arrested on pedophilia-related charges (MN Sen. Justin Eichorn was soliciting a minor), plus OH State Rep. Rodney Creech was investigated for inappropriately touching his daughter.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

kristi noem is a sick fuck.

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric

Trump's inability to understand even in an elementary way the basics of our culture, high or low, is always amazing. Here's a mini-thread of classic moments: (1) From last night, he couldn't bring himself to say whether he identified with the protagonist or antagonist of Les Misérables.

“Accustomed to remaining free” (due process) is some real dirty work by the NYT.

VERY GOOD THREAD about Cuomo's garbage, misleading anti-Mamdani flyer.

lotta people are gonna die

it’s not actually funny but it is a little bit funny that RFK jr is putting a psychiatrist and “nutritional neuroscientist” on the vaccine advisory board by which I mean I’m laughing about it but in a slightly hysterical way

Every article about the inevitability of AGI

And there you go

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

Worried about how my heart is going to get through the next couple of weeks.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

This picture is helping me get through today.
