The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

This feels like the difference between republicans and everyone else distilled to its essence. The reason to plant a tree is BECAUSE you might not live long enough to see them mature. It’s a gift to the future. Deranged point of view imo

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Are these the only working speakers in the stadium this year? High school stadium shit lmao

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Would be great if the leadership of American universities (like the one I work for, the largest private employer in the state of Maryland) would band together to defeat this administration, an existential threat, rather than hiding in the corner hoping the schoolyard bully doesn’t notice them.

You win this round, Barnes.

As far as I can tell, The Masculinity Crisis is about two things considered problems: - It's hard to meet women - Women are everywhere Always feels like these two problems should resolve each other, but I'm no sociologist

I feel tweeting this, under her own name on her public twitter account her husband follows, should be the last word on liz. just imagine being any of the people in a relationship like this.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Ended. Up. Ended. Up. endedup

the moderate position is “people need to go to prison” for the deportation of people to el salvadoran concentration camps. the radical position is something akin to guillotines on the washington mall

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

the left was absent at the "pro-natalism conference" because pro natalism without reproductive justice and work against state violence is just the soft gentle foyer of a eugenics conference full of nazis

to agree with the Bruenig piece, you have to accept the premise that continued human presence on earth requires us to be concerned with white birthrates, because otherwise there's no problem to be solved

"perpetuating humanity" should, in fact, not be a cross-politics consensus, rather up to the collective outcome of individual choices and any other view is nightmarish totalitarian scifi at base

Deleting all my saved Miami locations in google maps like I’m deleting photos of an ex after a breakup

Has anyone written the definitive take about how 50 plus years of fascination with / reverence for the Mafia ended in electing a literal criminal as president?

The 90-year period during which unions could build and wield power without strikes, by using an accepted legal and administrative framework, is coming to an end. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/not-just-u...

The degree to which right-wing operatives are gifted an unobstructed path to prestige journalism outlets is rather underdiscussed. I never tire of pointing out that CBS News once hired a Politics News Director whose entire pre-CBS professional background consisted of being a GOP political staffer

Deeply unserious country

Good morning Bluesky !

My discovery that Michael Fassbender is not related to Rainer Werner is the most upset I've been since learning that Donald Faison isn’t related to Frankie

Remember what I said about there being a network of conservatives infiltrating mainstream news organizations, whose loyalty is to the conservative movement rather than to the news organizations

How to understand the stock market if you only watch Fox News

For some reason the thing I find helpful is thinking about how undemocratic the U.S. has been for most of its history. Sure, some things are different now, but it's not like the basic problems are new. And we've overcome them before, we can do it again.

Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.
