Swalwell: The stock market is crashing, and prices are rising. This guy has gone to the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a UFC fight. He should go to the fucking supermarket and see what people are spending to feed themselves

don't tell me "what AI says," if I wanted to know what AI says i'll ask your mom, who is forced to use it at her work by her manager, who lacks a fundamental understanding of its limits

Guys you're still trying to fix the US. I told you we can't do it. But we can recreate it in the aggregate.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Last night in a chat group called Everyday Patriarchy Bullsh*t, I read a comment on how Zelenskyy at the White House was basically treated like a woman: patronized, arrogantly -splained to, asked about clothes, given abusive advice to ‘know his place’, expected to submit and punished when he refused

certain respectable, centrist pundits have said or implied that i'm basically hysterical about the idea that the trump administration is segregationist but then we get stories like this one. huh, wonder what ideological perspective might explain this decision.

Hmmm. It’s going to get worse from here. A domino effect of programs unable to accept students unless they are 100% funded, which is not easy.

Professors please pull up a chair. I’ve been talking to my classes about what has been going on. I explained indirect costs to them. I talked to them about what a probationary employee is in the government. At the end of class they asked if we could talk about it more. (1/)

yes! the idea that the executive can simply make spending decisions independent of a legislature or parliament is basically antithetical to the entire anglo-american political tradition

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

West Wing always had a tinge of “this is fantasy, but is a possibility.” What’s happening now is deranged fan fiction in Sorkinverse. Everyone either gets killed by a sexy vampire at the end or Josh wakes up next to Donna, says “what a strange dream!” then it fades to black and the credits begin.

Historian here Happy Black History Month greetings from Thaddeus Stevens home, even though the US Government has been forbidden from celebrating it. It is up to American citizens to prevent the sabotage of our democratic republic. Remember we brought down the slave power.

I will honour the Pop-Tarts Bowl in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of Cinnamon Roll and Strawberry shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.
