It is years overdue for Democrats to stop thinking “aha! Gotcha!” legislation is going to have any effect against a party literally defined by the pride it takes in having no shame whatsoever.
Dems introduced amendments to ban all cosmetic surgery for minors in every state that banned gender affirming care for youth. In every single one, Republicans voted it down and no one cared. This line of thinking won't actually do anything.

Watched Lou Ye's An Unfinished Film tonight. Pretty good. Goes in the rare category of good representations of COVID along with Wu Hao's 76 Days and, surprisingly, the end of Drive My Car

It's so annoying when 27 year olds on Love Is Blind are like "I don't know about kids," like, yeah dude, you're 27 lol

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

The Brutalist...the whole movie is irritating and then I don't think I've ever hated an ending more
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

this & other comments i've seen about how bluesky needs to "improve its algorithm" suggest a lot of people have grown to like a totally passive social media experience where a computer pushes an endless stream of content tailored to what it thinks they would like while they clap like seals

Sorry but I do not believe there is anybody in America who is sincerely concerned about the health of fat people as opposed to just being prejudiced against fat people.

Trying to get into the heads of ICE agents is really a dead end, btw. People asked the same questions of the HKPF and it is just like, they get together with their fellow c-student bullies and joke about beating up cockroaches. That's all some people are.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧
The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.
May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

It’s time for progressives to get more sophisticated about national security and foreign policy.

Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

This is also an absurd way to present this data which reflects what I think is the basic position of the electorate: mostly they haven't thought about or don't care about this stuff.
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

I want somebody to make these bastards answer, even once, why they feel the need to stalk *schoolchildren*.
ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

"Actually including all the ums was appropriate in context bc the article was talking about how right wingers were saying AOC stumbled." Horseshit, you just say the answer was hesitant.

RIP Frederick Wiseman, who made the most engrossing four hour films ever made. Watch High School and let the last sequence rip your fucking heart out.
