this is part of the context in which the midterms will be held. wouldn’t be surprised at efforts to denaturalize ilhan omar, eg. and arrest other dems on specious charges.

Then quit your job, John

The weaponizing of antisemitism to beat back the left is something we've seen increasingly for the past couple of years. People really need to start recognizing it for what it is.

Well, my least favorite part of summer is here and I must face it. I must bring the children with me to the grocery store.

Peterson looks like he's just done something wrong in Willy Wonka's factory

no one cares that this is illegal but it is illegal and seems like something that might trip the court’s “major questions” doctrine

I'm not saying there aren't undocumented people in this country; obviously there are. but the shape of the discourse around immigration for coming on 20 years now has convinced me that immigration is actually a glonzo issue

It’s really important to remember that Dems aren’t just being racist and defamatory in a vacuum. They’re doing it on behalf of Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo: two criminals

I genuinely think Nate Silver believes that Joe Biden shut down the schools in 2020. And if you told him the problem with that line of thinking he’d of course say he didn’t believe it but then immediately go back to believing it, there’s alot of people like that.

I'm OK with Democrats going on Fox News to counter misinformation and debate the conservative hosts or moderators. Going on Fox News to slam another Democrat should get you stripped of your committee assignments and DCCC funding.

Embroidery journal: He did it. 9yo passed his taekwondo black belt testing today.

the thing that finished Franken wasn’t even that he’d groped the ~dozen women who came forward, it was that it was clear that he’d groped many many more who hadn’t come forward yet. the bar is really very high to get me-tooed out of elective office but he cleared it

Federal injunctions were fine when they hurt students and poor folks. Now they’re bad because Trump wants to trample the Constitution in peace? Be serious.

I don't think i would have predicted this. Otherwise mentally healthy people are trying out chatgpt to help with something at work, and two weeks later they've fully broken from reality and have to be committed to a mental facility

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Embroidery journal: My lime zinnias are starting to bloom.

two democrats were subjects of an assassination attempt less than two weeks ago, and one of them and her husband is lying in state and it's treated like a natural disaster, Mamdani refuses to swear fealty to Israel and it's the only thing people talk about

It is far past time for bishops to start wielding their authority to excommunicate and interdict—I'm sure there's a canon you can use to enforce it with.

Looking at the comments under the USCCB post today on FB about religious liberty and the rights of migrants, it seems an inescapable fact that there’s been a massive failure in catechesis when it comes to what the Church teaches on the issue

My statement with @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social on Senator Gillibrand’s racist, Islamophobic comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Literally every single Democratic member of the House and Senate should be signed onto this and it is revealing and embarrassing that they are not

i agree but instead the head of the dscc is engaging in islamophobic attacks herself while declining to endorse him

Read this whole story.

I wrote about Clarence Thomas's anti-intellectual, anti-trans concurrence in United States v. Skrmetti, and what it says about how far the right has fallen into conspiratorialism

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

The big subtext: It's low-grade unusual for Catholic bishops to do sign-on letters with other traditions, but high-grade unusual for a *group* of bishops (as opposed to individual prelates) to do so in a way that pushes beyond what the USCCB has done, much less on the same day!

When it comes to a Muslim Democrat (who is also critical of Israel) winning an election, you just need to be at least as normal about it as Bill Kristol. Let's call it The Bill Kristol Test. Kirsten Gillibrand has failed the Bill Kristol Test.

Embroidery journal: 12yo got her nails done with her friends today.

I have officially lived in New York long enough to have extremely opinions on how wrong some of these maps are.

If you see this, quote this with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Embroidery journal: 9yo had lacrosse playoffs tonight. They made it past the first round but lost in the second.

It’s very funny because I and all fellow military families grew up with groceries from government-run commissaries, doctor visits with government-provided health care providers, and sleeping in government housing, and everything else was paid for from a government-provided paycheck.

Buffalo’s acting mayor is a staunch police union ally who has attacked efforts to crack down on police misconduct, & has also called for rollbacks to the 2019 bail reform law. He lost last night in his primary, and it wasn’t close.

A lie THIS obvious isn’t an attempt to fool anyone; it’s just a pure expression of contempt.

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.

Candidates who lose primaries should support the nominee, and if they try to split the party instead, that’s a sign primary voters were right to reject them

I would be so excited if I could vote for Brad Lander for either Senate or Governor.
