I had a REALLY lovely time talking to @milesklee.bsky.social at Rolling Stone about why The Onion is thriving. It's because we're one of the only legacy outlets unafraid to accurately reflect the mood of this country. That mood? Everyone fucking hates this. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY PRIDE FROM THE TRAIN! Everybody deserves the freedom to decide whether when and how to have a family, no matter what that rogue-ass Supreme Court ruled three years ago!

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

As the June 30 state budget deadline draws closer, it’s not just SEPTA facing a fiscal cliff. The other 32 fixed-route transit systems across the commonwealth are at risk — which means the Pennsylvania Senate Republicans blocking funding will hurt their own districts, too.

"Detained" is an interesting word choice. It sounds official but it just means they grabbed him. They couldn't say "arrested" because that would open up questions like "on what authority" and "for what charge." If you or I "detained" someone we could be charged with unlawful imprisonment

the Padilla thing is bad but do not overlook the incredibly dangerous language Noem is using here. You cannot “liberate” a state or city from its own leadership without utterly destroying democracy.
