Police in Rhode Island are saying someone died from fentanyl-laced cannabis based on preliminary drug testing done by the police, and I just want people to remember law enforcement is not qualified to perform drug testing or determine cause of death. It helps nobody to create unfounded drug panics.

Never forget that the NYTs believes its job is to make its readers more conservative.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I guess we’ll get to see if the GOP was lying about their support for the filibuster. The safe bet is that they were.

Elon probably thinks they’re all NPCs

I wonder why most media outlets aren’t reporting the motivation for Trump’s tariffs accurately. It’s probably because they’re run by super rich people.

Republicans may claim to care about the military, but they don’t give a shit about those who are serving in it.

Correct

One thing the Democrats can do (and don't seem to be doing) is coordinate on/publish a 'here is what we we will do to reverse Trump' set of proposed measures. Republicans made it clear that they would overturn JCPOA, damaging its credibility from outset. Dems should do same for the shitty stuff.

Good. Democrats should kick this lying asshole out of the caucus.

I think focusing on current law versus current policy is getting it wrong. The key takeaway is Republicans are breaking the rules of the Senate so they can pass giant tax cuts for the rich while taking away health care from the sick and food from the needy. www.americanprogress.org/article/sena...

The question isn’t whether a federal court can order the Salvadoran government to release Garcia; it can’t. It’s whether the U.S. government has the ability to secure Garcia’s release. If so, then it can be ordered to do so, because then Garcia is in the “constructive” custody of the United States.

What are we even doing here? Politics is a zero sum game.

young men will be D+20 in 2028

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

historically the bad faith stuff quickly moves into bedrock belief territory. the way all these reality breaks usually go is that once one of these groups is cornered and hitched to a disastrous idea, they double down and build a fantasy world around it bc it’s easier than admitting they were wrong

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers
