“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

Seeing lots of posts about the need for more variety on here, and, yes. I want to hear about your cute kids. Your cute animals. I want your hot takes on tv. I want your grudges and beefs. I want to hear about your fav teams, even when mine are their rivals (except Ohio State because fuck no).😇

No matter where you stand on Israel and Gaza, it is flatly unAmerican to deport a law-abiding green card holder whose U.S. citizen wife is 8 months pregnant simply because he voiced a political opinion you dislike. apnews.com/article/colu...

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I guess the remarkable thing here is that there’s not even a nominal “concession” from Sheinbaum. Nothing changed between yesterday and today on migration or drug policy, but the tariffs are gone. He backed down without an excuse.

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
