NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds.
Then the harassment began.
Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel.
Six credible threats to his life.

Misgendering someone and then suing because they wouldn’t sell you the ethnic delicacy you wanted to purchase is so funny. Like just don’t be a fucking asshole.

I was BEYOND excited that Simon & Schuster chose me to do the copyediting on Kamala Harris's new book. I'm legally bound not to show you too much before its September release, but they allowed me to share a small sneak behind the curtain at the process of editing such a monumental work.

Obviously the consultation results won't say what they want. Obviously they planned to ignore them anyway. They want it done before Baroness Hate leaves. In what world wouldn't they try this

More than anything this play just drives home how weird it is that seemingly nobody in "mainstream" politics is actually trying to make anything better. The best we ask for is for the Worse to be smaller and more incremental.
So I saw this last night and it was excellent but you know for a FACT Nye Bevan would not have got his NHS bill approved by the Labour cabinet of 2025. A few wry groans from the audience as he talked about his vision for the NHS including glasses and dental care for everyone!

There is years worth of evidence of this behaviour by the IDF.
It’s very good that the WS is doing this, but any living soul doing a ‘how could we possibly have known’ thing is lying.

"The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza, and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest. In most of these cases the victim was under 12 years old"

Francis Begbie arc, isn’t it: Everyone makes excuses for his horrific violence, they tell themselves and each other he’s just standing up for his mates but slowly, they realise he’s just a psychopath who likes hurting people and he’s manipulated them into complicity with his mayhem and destruction.

Right-wing abundance-bros operate in an ecosystem of ultra-low-information, mostly on a combination of X and substack, with the big accounts just spewing out vaguely correct-sounding chunks of text that crumble at the slightest interrogation.

Others have noted that this means foreign-born people are LESS likely than UK-born people to be in prison. What I want to note is that The Times is now referring to foreign-born UK citizens as ‘foreigners’. This includes Boris Johnson, Sir Mo Farah, Emma Watson, Rory Stewart and little old me.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

jonathan capehart, subbing for an msnbc host, just used the last minutes of the show to explain his departure from the washington post, specifically citing management's insistence on an optimistic vision of america while a corrupt president flouts the law and deploys troops to march american streets
Four more WaPo departures: Hank Stuever, Ann Hornaday, Craig Timberg, Joel Achenbach. Source says it feels like the Hunger Games: “My inbox has literally dozens of announcements of departures or newsroom wide goodbye notes.”

I am hearing that Britain just needs to raise some revenue in taxes so we can fix our increasingly fucked public realm, and that this is no longer an insane communist plan to frog-march everyone who wears glasses into a rice paddy, to slave to death at gunpoint. It’s now very sensible, if anything!

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.
