They’re five-year-olds! He’s sharing videos of a bunch of happy five-year-olds in order to harm them! It’s inhuman, we must rid ourselves of these men
Okay, now it’s Republicans’ turn to kick out the most prominent rapist in their party
If Platner must crash and burn and take the US Senate and US judiciary with him, can he please, for the love of god, at least take Ryan Grim, the Pod Save bros, and Morris Katz too
You have to admit, fighting a full-blown war in the Middle East, but only when markets are closed, is a real innovation in the history of warfare
Our media will of course learn no lessons from this, but the initial ICE narrative about the two murders it committed here in Minneapolis was 100% false, slanderously depicting the victims as aggressors attempting to kill federal agents.
Literally zero reason to believe ICE here. Zilch. None.
The solution is consequences, by the way. And that doesn’t mean “losing elections” or “public ridicule.” Consequences that are real, that wrongdoers and liars know could happen to them, that bad men genuinely fear facing
Such a pathetic and petty way to ring in the nation’s 250th anniversary. No sense of the diversity of the American experience. No understanding of history or our civic heritage.
Just blind antagonism against a group that barely exists, in a cheap mimicry of historical reactionaries.
I’m probably biased but it’s starting to feel like the conflict over ICE is going to be the defining feature of Trump’s second term.
Will America have an unaccountable paramilitary terror force serving at the whim of the regime, or will we be a nation of laws?
So Dan Moraff and Morris Katz, two slick political consultants who thought they knew everything, saw a video of a gruff-sounding oysterman, and decided, without further evidence, to lure him into politics by telling him he was a “hero of the movement” who was going to “lead the revolution.” Insane
There was an era when this would have been one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. That era was five years ago
Very easy to feel schadenfreude about this. Every time you do I recommend you think back to the awful Supreme Court term and remind yourself it is absolutely vital that Platner win. You don’t have to like the guy but we have to carry him over the line.
Does Professor Wurman want to delineate which of the law students he teaches are from unassimilated groups that lack the habits of mind that make constitutional government possible?
Whatever their supposed mission, ICE has become an army of paramilitary irregulars, tasked with perpetrating violence in the general direction of immigrants and anyone who defends them.
That’s what the masks are about, they’re a weapon of terror. Secret police thugs, not accountable to anyone.
It’s really hard to overstate how certain the various institutional actors were that Trump was cooked in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6.
It informed so many bad choices, like Pelosi not moving to impeach day-of. Everyone trying to make everyone else do anything controversial.
The correct statement for Dems to give is this:
It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.
if you hear Pete Buttigieg say this and don’t come away with some measure of empathy for Pete Buttigieg, there is a piece of you missing
you'll never believe it but bluesky has decided that me being alarmed by this extremely antisemitic joke makes me a transphobe
NOBODY IS DOING THIS.
What's happening is that you guys are refusing to understand even the basic dimensions of an ongoing discussion, and maliciously reinterpreting "The economy is doing okay by historical standards" as a personal attack on people who are at the bottom of the economy.
My suspicion is that Instagram is far more responsible for the upsurge in antisemitism than Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Frankly a lot of the daily antisemitism I’ve encountered has nothing to do with Gaza, just jokes about Jews and money, Jews controlling everything, etc.
Are we ready to talk about how gentrification is mostly good
Call me crazy but probably the first step of Project 2029 should be "Reverse every part of Project 2025 and encode it all in law"????
Shouldn't that be the bare minimum???
I've seen it before but every time I do I'm kind of staggered by just how bananas this chart is. Starting in mid-2021 or so, something began making people unhappier with the economy than you'd expect, and continued to get worse and worse nonstop until the present day, spanning all income brackets.
The main dynamic that has made the right go insane over the past decade has been a kind of epistemological hack: they can invent their own facts, their own realities, as long as they’re all in agreement that truth is adjudicated by consensus and nothing else
