It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

i suspect Mar-A-Lago will go down as one of our generation's infamous international spy hubs, the same way Cold War Berlin or World War 2 Campione d'Italia were. There's probably spies installing listening devices who are finding other spies' listening devices already there.

Say what you will about Trump but he’s doing exactly what he promised middle-class midwestern voters he would do: erase the military contributions of long-dead actors because The Golden Girls made jokes about him in the mid-1980s

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.

Target, in a way, is manifesting the same problem as the Democrats -- giving away parts of what people liked about them or wanted from them in order to appease an audience that doesn't like them at all or doesn't want them ever, no matter how low they sink, no matter how noisily they obey.

Please don’t let the failures of politicians to win elections change your views on humanity and who deserves rights. Either you believe in the sanctity of civil rights, or you do not. You cannot carve a vulnerable group out of your coalition and then claim to stand for the rights of all.

Note that the WH’s stated reason is that Penn had let swimmer Lia Thomas compete - but that was 3 years ago & in compliance w/ NCAA rules of the time; Thomas graduated in 2022, & Penn recently removed a DEI/trans policy website. Compliance won't save universities. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

Crypto scammers have bought off the entire Republican party and a huge chunk of the Dems. Honestly "in bed with crypto" vs "not in bed with crypto" is as important a split in the Dem caucus now as moderate vs progressive is.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

i know there’s bigger fish to fry but i think “deport elon musk” is bad messaging that should stop because it only validates the use of state violence against political foes rather than building material support for those facing/who will soon face that state violence.
