Listen, I know it’s public transport, but few things are quite as exhausting as being next to a toddler on a flight who is clearly going to be A Problem and at some point become my problem.

If you are losing your mind at people for posting about things you think are trivial because you think they should be posting about Current Events I need you to know this is what you sound like

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

I like it when a person whines about their bags always getting lost and then you look at the bag and it’s absolutely caked in about a hundred bag check stickers with undamaged barcodes.

Good stuff from @gregsargent.bsky.social.

I think we tend to overemphasize, esp. w/ Trump's mush-brain at the top, that their fascism is a kind of purely id-driven emotional impulse. But it's a real ideology w/ real theorists and tenets. Miller isn't an evil genius, but he has a real evil worldview
The Dark Ideology Behind Stephen Miller's Immigration Crusade: Part II
He believes immigration threatens Western civilization itself, echoing the same xenophobia once directed at his own ancestors

ban @altnps.bsky.social (and for the several hundred of you still following it... why)
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Everyone has a part to play. Even—especially—the person who moderates the subreddit for videos of people patting their cat on the butt really rapidly.
This is an excellent example of someone using their power to shun those that deserve it.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I know it’s controversial but I will always side with “why should we change the idealistic symbols, they’re the ones who suck.”
