a theory I have is that while a lot of people say trump is "funny," he's not in on the joke AT ALL, and almost everything they interpret as him joking is him lost in a completely unrestrained narcissistic psychosis so extreme that normal people imagine he can't be serious

We are still displaced in Khan Younis and we have not been able to return to Rafah due to the great destruction and imminent danger. Please continue your support because we have a long way to go 😔 gofund.me/019a83f3

One way to reduce mass migration is to stop overthrowing democratically elected governments just because we don't like them

In your entire life could you imagine this kind of answer from a prominent U.S. official?

imagine your least competent co-worker revealed to you one day that he thought all along that he was doing a completely different job and it turned out he sucked just as much at it

Let’s disappear people to foreign prisons based on allegations they committed crimes isn’t a slippery slope, you’ve already rolled all the way down the mountain.

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

My friend @davidlat.bsky.social just published an email Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp sent to the firm. This excerpt is the most chilling. This is how constitutional republics die -- when rivals see a violation of fundamental rights not as an injustice, but as a business opportunity:

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan. No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

“But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.” --Brad Karp. Fuck you, you coward.

Marc Elias: "Elias Law Group will not be deterred ... There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring." "Our democracy is in peril, and the decisions made by lawyers and their firms may very well determine the future of the rule of law."

no wonder Joe Biden loving his son drove them nuts

Canada is doing a better job communicating to Americans how bad this is for them than the Democrats are, and that’s sad

There is something deeply wrong with the CEO class.

Ah yes, Main Street in 1956, when you could hang out with strangely dressed identical women in sunglasses, in front of the ATLEO, across the street from RELEA DLIKES. Those were the greblmongs.

"This bodes absolutely terribly for the industry. It's an admission from one of the biggest and most powerful law firms in the nation that fighting a likely unconstitutional Executive Order in court just isn't worth it."

Every country should structure its legal and regulatory systems as a series of traps that guarantee someone like Elon Musk would end up in prison before he ever got rich

My statement on being denied tenure at the Medill School of Journalism drive.google.com/file/d/1BBBI...

I already knew they had my stuff. The last time I complained about it I got called an "ideas landlord" for believing I should get paid for the work they stole.

UK Subs detained

"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player." Need to seriously start asking if these dem consultants are actively on the take, no other way to explain such uselessness

“black servants who were their friend”

what confuses me about Sen. Whitehouse is that he’s clear eyed on court reform and the way money corrupts, but somehow blinkered on this. Schumer has to go. There is no “onward” with this leadership.

this is how you get across to people that the wholesale destruction of the federal government is hurting them even if they don't work for the government you like camping? fuck you, you don't get to go camping because nobody can staff the campgrounds and you make it very clear whose fault it is

US institutions fail again. The crime spree will continue as scheduled.

Please boycott my country and tell US airlines that you won’t waste money on a ticket to nowhere. Make the airlines lobby the administration to end this fascist madness. They will scream loudly when their lucrative international revenue dries up.

This is a failure on multiple levels but especially so because it grants unique status to SCOTUS, an institution that has contributed substantially to the current state of affairs, and completely erases the constitutional status of his own branch of government. Just grade-A loser mindset.

Chart of cumulative protests reported from Jan 22 - Feb 28, 2017 vs 2025:

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.

Agreed, and here I am, just a scientist saying that no matter what I am allowed to say about climate change, the soils will also always have their say. 🤎

it appears the trump administration has deleted a database of kidnapped ukrainian children out of spite www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/u...

Just a reminder that Miller opened an entire legal firm dedicated to judge shopping challenges to the Biden administrations policies.

NEWS: An Indian national teaching at Georgetown was arrested by immigration authorities in Rosslyn, Va. Monday. His lawyers say he's being targeted for his pro-Palestinian views. His U.S. citizen wife's father was a Hamas adviser. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Throughout the *entire* Trump era, the people who were called unserious for overreacting or catastrophizing have been correct and the calm, smug centrists have been catastrophically wrong (and have refused to learn). Trump has already tried to overturn elections and surely will again.

This happens in dictatorships

Hooded indeed

In addition to the substance, which is thuggish and anti-American, the writing offered by this administrations lawyers has been consistently shitty. I was going to say execrable but I wanted to make sure they followed. Bud when bad people pursue bad goals the writing is often bad.

They're abducting people for the suspected views of their spouses in the middle of fucking Georgetown

Martin Niemoller: first they came for the socialists... Dem consultants: our polls suggest we should also come for the socialists!!

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

The Trump tax plan only works by cutting public services. This incredible visualization combines the potential tax cuts (which mostly go to the rich) and loss of services (mostly borne by the poor). It is a giant wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

Baseball media: if you do not loudly report on this I do not want to hear a goddamn thing from you about Jackie Robinson on April 15. bsky.app/profile/fbih...

weird, they don't seem to be calling for bipartisan answers in the middle then again, this is deep-blue, um, Nebraska

this is a straightforward delusion
