Incredible how they insist, collectively and individually, that "Look, I'm voting No on everything until something vaguely like sanity returns to the White House" would not be a defensible position right now - politically, morally, whatever.

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs; messages include variations of โICE OUTโ and love for neighbors.
A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs; messages include โA person was stolen by ICE hereโ and โICE + CBP are scumโ
Iโve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

"My focus has always been on the big picture โ what the case tells us about the power elite that was recently rebranded as 'the Epstein class,' their sordid relationships, and their impunity from consequences in a corrupt society."
Buried bodies near a NM ranch? New evidence that Epstein may have been murdered? The bolstering of Trump's teen-sex accuser? The Epstein Files have gone wild, and there's one thing we can say for sure
Federal authorities are tied to a massive coverup
My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...
We voters are validation junkies. And too many of us are racists, misogynists, and bully wannabees. 49.8% of us, to be exact.

Paints an ugly, daunting picture if one considers voters as validation junkies. 49.8% of us found Trump to be their boy.
Time for a re-read of Achen & Bartels "Democracy for Realists"

๐บHeyo, glad we got that settled for us.
This whole thing reeks of what seems to be an intrinsic divide, based upon the way our brains have evolved, between fear of group instability leading to death versus the desire to achieve social standing/power by being innovative. Fear vs Imagination. Whatever, we _need_ to form groups. Us vs Them
So Alberta is the Alabama of Canada just like Alaska is the Arkansas of the US?๐
It's the year 2026. The world is at war because of Donald Trump's lunatic invasion of Iran. Jackbooted thugs fill American cities. The online left demands that Democrats earn their vote or they'll sit the next election out.
Validation is one hell of a drug. And if you're a racist, misogynist, bully wannabee, Trump is your boy.๐
The poor may be always with us, but so are the creeps.
If youโre roughly my age, itโs wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected โ young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! โ and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
A tomahawk cruise missile killed all those little girls.๐
The Iranian girlsโ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
Of all the scoops in Killers of Roe, my secret favorite is that notorious anti-abortion Congressman Henry Hyde was an ass-grabber who once made a pass at Planned Parenthood president Faye Wattleton during a commercial break.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as โpointlessโ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
_Inside_ a chollo cactus? "Jumping chollo"?
My memories of encountering those is entirely "Ow! Ow! Ow!"

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
North American bird populations are not only declining, but theyโre also shrinking faster with each passing yearโparticularly in regions shaped by intensive agriculture, according to a new study in Science. scim.ag/4clAUaN

Plus tater tots were invented by Ore-Ida. Once upon a time I recall going past their plant and the reek was...in the cheese factory ballpark. Not quite sewage, but stinky.
This awful person is being primaried by @daniwelch.bsky.social - please check out her campaign and donate to support it.
how can this be so hard? He is a vile racist fascist, a thundering dolt...and he's enormously unpopular! Just oppose him, you quisling motherfuckers!
Juliana Stratton gets it. If you are asked what you agree with Trump on, just answers (as she did), " I am not going to the United States Senate to find something to agree with Donald Trump on." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/juliana-st...

This was completely unnecessary. It did not have to happen. Everything that has happened since February 28th did not have to happen
