We wouldn’t have to specify that it’s the Grim Reaper if there wasn’t at least one other, non-grim type of Reaper. In this essay I will prove the epistemological inevitability of the Silly Reaper

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.
In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri, a mom donating breastmilk for babies whose mothers are detained by ICE.

Bri's story:

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

Welcome to sports in the 21st century: KS taxpayers will spend $3 billion to move the Chiefs 23 miles—while the owners keep all the profits.

This is the new business of sports: Kansas hands out welfare to billionaire sports owners while fans fight for less opportunities to see their hometown team.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

He's right: in light of Republican policies, rural Americans will have decreasing access to real healthcare. They will have to settle for some garbage chatbot selling them snake oil.

It shouldn't be this way, but it absolutely will be this way if Republicans stay in power.

I am going to be honest that if you are a person who does not have a preference between Gavin Newsom and JD Vance then you are using the term “leftist” incorrectly.

It doesn’t mean “hates Democrats more than the guy inventing new blood libels for Hatians.” The word for that is “Republican”
Leftists in '25: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '26: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '27: We're not voting for Gavin

Leftists in '28: We're not voting for Gavin

Gavin in '28: *loses the general against a JD Vance/Erika Kirk ticket*

Liberals in '28: Why would leftists do this? 😡

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

It is an inconceivable violation of norms that the Democratic Party could ever add seats to tilt the hostile NDA Supreme Court. Meanwhile, in Utah, the GOP added five seats to an already conservative court because they were worried that "normal" conservatives might block extreme redistricting.

If you’re calling in bomb threats and intimidating schools in response to a 5yo with a bunny hat, you’re probably too evil and dense to even realize you are the baddies.
