We get what we deserve

AOC to be the Thaddeus Stevens of the 21st century

Bring it, motherfucker.

This is why the Supreme Court's next ruling is its most important, potentially ever. Whatever you think of their original Abrego Garcia ruling, it *did* direct the government to act in a way that it has not even pretended to act. And the Court will have to confront that fact.

total clarity here from @edwardluce.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/4c4b...

This is slathering your face in ketchup, inviting the leopards to eat your face, and being shocked to discover those pointy teeth hurt like a motherfucker.

JD Vance isn't even the kid whose idea it is torture a neighborhood cat. He's the guy who knows it's sick but will do anything as long as he can pretend the cat-torture club members are his friends.

Long Island is a strange place

“She started to realize that while the new right’s racism and misogyny were often delivered with an ironic smirk, it was no joke.” We’re going to see so many people “start to realize” it’s going to make your head spin.

Thinking of the 97, their families, all those we've lost over the years and fellow Survivors YNWA🔥

in many ways I think AOC is more valuable serving as a constant presence in congress for decades rather than being stymied by that same congress in a presidential term or two but man, she’s the Dems’ most talented national politician right now and it’s not particularly close

They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

I saw a trite post yesterday talking about how “crowd size doesn’t matter because 30k in Utah doesn’t help change that state” and it’s such an interesting contrast in spirit to this message.

It’s the Peninsula through Antietam Run

Oh man, I guess you missed this when it was a meme in 2006? You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

Ah, and I was just reminded that it’s past midnight in the UK: 💔JFT97💔

I think this one will be remembered as a particularly stark and, well, historic day in American history.

Gonna do every newspaper in America a favor and write their headline. It reads: TRUMP DISCUSSES FOREIGN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH BUKELE There you go. Don't even need to credit me.

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

OK... let's give focusing on work a shot... if anyone has any ideas, please let me know

going to need to start hearing from governors what they intend to do to protect residents of their states from the federal government
