It's got racism. It's offensive to people with intellectual disabilities. It's Islamophobic. Happy Thanksgiving from the president
Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”

We can spend all day calling out these fascists for what they are. But we put them in power. We did. By staying home. Leaving our ballots on the coffee table. Embracing racism, sexism, or just plain apathy. Look in the mirror, America.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I had a phone interview scheduled with Bard admissions in 1995. It was canceled when the campus got snowed in. I subsequently and graciously declined enrollment. 😂 #LeftCoastLife
So I got in a bit of a chat about my Bard days with @whinterqueen.bsky.social and was reminded of one of my favorite "What Zzyzx was like in college" stories.
The thing about Bard is that the politics were less in a conservative/liberal split than between those who took politics VERY seriously 1/10

You say this as though journalism still exists.
Let him crash out after that but press him to stop doing this. It's fucking undignified for the office AND for journalism. Trump is a damned disgrace. I am humiliated daily to know that this beclowned madman is our president. In just the last week he's called women journalists piggy, stupid & ugly.

Yes.
America has a smelly old racist brigand for a president and it is just super depressing every single day

Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Only this guy. Do we really have to endure it for three more years? Please send good drugs. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃

Here’s Seth Meyers’ hilarious take on Trump’s turkey pardon today. The only thing more fucking stupid than this tradition is Trump himself.

AOC: Trump is a 34 time convicted felon, and he is endorsing a a sexual harasser that has multiple accusations against them. Birds of a feather, you know, they flock together.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The fading immediacy of Sept. 11
I remember the explosion of the Challenger only vaguely. I was still in elementary school, and remember — I think; it's hazy — being told during lunch that the shuttle launch had failed. This was the watch-every-launch-on-TVs-rolled-into-classrooms era, so the school was attuned to the moment. That said, I don't remember anyone's...
