Ok, we’ve gotta stop these 2.5- 3 hr basketball games. I don’t care if someone once came back from 12 down with a minute to go. It has gotta stop

Tip for hockey: make the puck bigger, maybe the size of a basketball. And change the ice to hardwood and roughly the size of a bball court. Then change the nets to bball hoop. Right there, that’s perfect

Going to say this yet again because apparently everyone was raised by wolves - if you have any kind of persistent cough you should not be on public transport or in public without a mask. It is weird & rude to think you’re entitled to expose everyone around you esp in a country without a safety net

Should we count on the laws to protect us from Trump? Staking the defense against the oligarchs on the principle that "no one is above the law" has failed for eight years now. Worse, with Trump back in control of the government, it's a self-defeating narrative. Permit us to make the case. 🧵⬇️

The discourse seems to have shifted from “Dems need to do something” to “don’t be mad at inept dems, be mad at republicans because they’re the corrupt ones”. I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, if you think this, then fuck you and get out of the way

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

The crux of concerns about antisemitism from the right is to redefine antisemitism away from white supremacy and Jewish hate to simply any criticism of the Israeli state. Dems are unsurprisingly caving on this day in and day out

Teachers: we need more resources to teach our kids how to read Republicans: how about we take resources away? Teachers: ok, these kids can’t read and they’re 12 Republicans: Teachers are doing such a bad job. These kids can’t read!

I know it’s old hat at this point but the words that come out of Republicans’ mouths are so fucking surreal and wild

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong RUPP ARENA, MOUNTAIN MAMBA Take me home, country roads

I can’t believe they ruined the Puppy Bowl by having Snoop Dogg commentate.

No one wants to hear the owners after championship games. Why is this a thing? Lemme hear the ones that actually did something

My appetite for watching reps get bounced out of various lobbies is gone, get arrested or do something else - diet stunts are not it

The year in rewind videos are just going to be a bunch of old Democrats being turned away from federal buildings by DOGE security

I keep seeing Dems let security guards keep them out of federal buildings and I’m begging someone to walk right past them and dare them to do something about it. Please for fucks sake stop being nice

If you’re out her saying things like “don’t forget but USAID partnered with the CIA” boy do I have news for you about *gestures at evereything*

I’d like to see someone in Congress start throwing fists. Get arrested. Get blood on your collar. Something that will get attention and say this is extreme not just that’s illegal

Welp, no more flying for me then

If we believe we can win and persevere, do we have an idea of what we’ll do to prevent this? The status quo is done and there is no returning to 2014. Do we have leaders capable of plowing a new path? I guess we’ll find out

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

The only reason Elon is not behind bars right this second for illegally hacking the treasury is because he's the world's richest robber baron and he spent $277m buying a presidency and a political party. Kleptocracy and oligarchy have never been more naked.

This is when it’s clear just how gutted the labor movement is (even with recent gains) in this country. There’s little to no call to action from labor leaders and little to no protests with labor leading the way. I expect that will hold true even when they come for the DoL

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

Babe, get in here, the Dems are livestreaming their ineptitude

Don’t worry, the DoE is protected by law so this is a nothing burger, gang. Jeffries is writing up a 5-point plan to write a letter to Trump to say they don’t like what he’s doing.

Who has info on Teachers’ unions preparing to fight back against dismantling DoE? Anyone?

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Seen on my news and academic feeds today: "This is highly illegal!" "Where are the courts?" "Someone needs to arrest him/them!" "The military needs to oust them!" "WHERE ARE THE DEMS?" This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us. We are all we've got.
