How is this supposed to work for me when the proposition being put forward is that Black people lack the intellectual capacity for public life and not enough of us are in prison?
Klein explicitly says his project is to dishonestly portray the true nature of the right for his readers in hopes that helps foster some common ground to heal our nation. This didn’t work for Obama and it’s not gonna work for him.

My AirPods Pro (first gen) batteries are finally starting to fizzle. Upgrading to gen 3 would be a no-brainer...if I could easily replace the batteries.

I'm glad Apple uses recycled materials and whatever, but they keep manufacturing things designed for a landfill.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

you continue to fail in so many ways it must be intentional

"ancient" doesn't carry a value valence, and if anything sounds positive

have some pride. use words that actually mean things:

"debunked in 1772" "medieval" "nonsense" "fantasy" "imaginary" "completely off their fucking asses"

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

Both. It's both.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

I feel like this POV is a direct result of being even a little curious about how things work.

Modern life is the result of the accretion of knowledge gathered by, not geniuses or great men, but normal people like you and me, over generations, despite unimaginable challenges.

Humans are amazing.
I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.

Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

I think one of the best things you can do if you're worried about Trump is pay for good reporting. I've recently subscribed to Wired, WSJ, Rollingstone who have all been running real, properly researched articles on the admin.

Sol Price, the founder of the company that eventually became Costco, grew up in a socialist community. He was a strong supporter of labor, and believed there was such a thing as a single person making too much money.

I wonder if the Costco Guys would still call themselves Costco Guys if they knew.
"our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."

"creativity and innovation in the merchandise and services that we offer,"

- Costco Board.

98% of Costco shareholders agreed with the board.👍🏿
