HS Daughter read this one in school this year, for example

They do read those books today - but these jerks did not. Don't blame it on the generation - these dudes are very specific entitled assholes

Tangential, but when dudes say "females" it's always a red flag

His name is Justin Fox.

Let’s make sure folks know that Justin Fox behaves exactly like a craven, spoiled brat who doesn’t do the work but expects you to accept his obvious evasions as an intelligent response rather than bullshit by a lazy, unethical embarrassment to his family and workplace.

It's always surprising to me that people read the NYT uncritically

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aids—and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

When six-year-old Joseph Rodriguez got sick, his mother had to bring him along to her regular check-in at a California ICE office.

There, last week, he was immediately detained and quickly deported—all without his hearing aids.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”

I wanna say to all politicians out there a stern letter or a video of you reading your stern letter are not how this regime will be taken down.

Alex Pretti and Renee Goode deserve more from you.

We are at war because Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don’t mind he’s a pedophile.

What an amazing coincidence that FoxNews showed the wrong footage of a dignified transfer of US soldiers so they didn’t show how the president was wearing his stupid fucking baseball cap at the dignified transfer this past weekend. FoxNews is trash: total fascist propaganda & needs to be taken down.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

I’m just curious if any of the disgusting juvenile delinquents making the ridiculous war glorification videos for the White House ever served in combat. Or even served in the military at all.

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

And Happy International Women's Day to the two most important people in science over the past year, @cdelawalla.bsky.social and @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

I don’t want the national conversation to turn into “how should we fight this war with Iran?” when we shouldn’t be fighting Iran in the first place!

…Noem was just fired because of public pressure, articles of impeachment getting serious, and tanking polls. And immigration has ALWAYS BEEN Trump’s number one issue. He shoots the hostage every time.

Why would he spare an unpopular Kennedy?

RFK Jr is not a sacred cow.

Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

....the FDA just reminded everyone it has a lot of power to restrict access to mifepristone, which it could conceivably wield after the midterms

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Vinay Prasad, M.D.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Congress needs to end this illegal war.

I’m calling on all my colleagues to vote yes on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution today.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say | CNN Politics Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue, ...

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
