I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Again, this isn't funny & it would have immediately ended any previous presidency in the post-WWII era. It's a direct violation of our NATO & UN obligations & obscene in a moment where 🇷🇺 is occupying 20% of 🇺🇦 & denying the sovereignty of another country.

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.

Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel:

"Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th."

BOOM!

Me, during the election: the democrats are spending way too much time talking about project 2025 and saying noting about their actual plans. 💀
Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

One earlier right wing synonym for the vacuous handwaving boogeyman “wokeness” was literally “secular humanism.”

Atheists making common cause with Christian nationalism against “the religion of wokeness” should remember that we’re on the list of undesirables

this is severe, untreatable, terminal lawyer brain. so many legal academics act like the constitution is not a vessel intended to secure actual human rights and dignity, but a mere matter of intellectual curiosity, meant to be batted around like a cat with a toy
That's a good question. But I think my answer is yes. I wouldn't assume good faith if someone made argument that we should, as normative matter, go back to Dred Scott. But if argument were that case was wrongly decided as a legal matter, I would try to understand and respond as best I could....

For the love of pistachio ice cream, how many times must I ask people not to go all “but… BUT JESUS” in my mentions every time I criticize authoritarian Christians?

You don’t get to negate their Christianity OR its connection to Jesus.

Christian =/= good

Fucking deal with it (not in my mentions)

Not just unusual. It’s unprecedented. It’s a seismic reordering of American government and an actual instance of the “weaponization” of the DOJ that the Republicans were heretofore so fond of complaining about (when it wasn’t happening).

Counterpoint: “We must assume all arguments advanced by members of my profession are made in good faith” is an elitist, self-serving, and ruinously stupid fake principle.

To be clear, our most historically trusted media outlets carried a tremendous amount of water & shattered their credibility for an administration that will now make it state policy to see them ousted from their jobs if they show even bare minimum backbone. They were warned of this for many years.

The medium-term goal here, which most of these people openly admit if you ask them, is the repeal of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which restores their ability to segregate by race, bar black people from businesses, and racially discriminate.
