some of you need to touch grass

When asked if he'd vote for Gavin Newsom or JD Vance for president, Hasan says he'd vote 3rd party. This proves Hasan doesn't care about ANY of the marginalized groups he pretends to support. All he cares about is taking money from them so he can buy more outfits for stream.

Dumb streamer leftists hate liberals more than they hate fascists

Gavin isn’t my first choice for 2028 but if he’s the nominee I’d vote for him over JD in a heartbeat. I’d vote for any Dem over JD, even if they’re an anti-congestion pricing NIMBY. like idgaf we gotta stop the fascists

Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley, bipartisan Senate duo, aim to break up "Big Medicine" Democrat Elizabeth Warren and Republican Josh Hawley don't agree on much, but they've found common ground on health care and affordability.

Josh Hawley's entire thing is backing legislation he knows our Congress is too corrupt to pass so he can pretend he's a populist anti-corporatist instead of a useless nazi

I don’t think that goes far enough, tbh. But yeah, it’s going to take a full scale department to even begin to process this.

This needless to say, fucking insane.

There was also no public statement from the U.S. Consulate just across the border in Juarez about anything, as long as we’re collecting tidbits of information.

And the Juarez airport sits juuuuuust outside the NOTAM’s radius and seems to be up and running.

I’ve been saying this for a while now, but it bears repeating: we’re going to need something like the Nuremberg Trials when this is done.

We need a full, public, reckoning with what was done in our names. The murder, the torture, the crimes against humanity and the orders that came from the top.

These are concentration camps.

Avery Edison tweet from Mar. 24 2023: "I wrote 'I am alive' on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What i saw next has shocking implications"

Put it in the Louvre? Nah, sis — put it in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations after the grid goes down, because this one needs PRESERVING:

fwiw this is not what this paper claims at all

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Maybe there’s a push coming from Canada but this is very much not a contest right now, Team USA having its way with almost everything.

No tradeoffs, only benefits.

NYT Headline: "Democrats Want to Rein In ICE. Their Ideas Are Facing Blowback."

And here's today's NYT headline on an article about reform proposals that enjoy supermajority support but that are disliked by Mike Johnson. The article provides no polling about the proposals.

We have much better claim to the Stars and Stripes than the Neo Nazis flying the stars and bars.

He looks like he needs someone who can pass him open to me, no offensive creativity whatsoever and derives most of his defensive value from forechecking effectively. Might be a schematic thing, might be an earlier than usual decline/injuries.

American political and economic elites continue to pal around with a guy who killed 750,000 kids.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.

"The brilliance of the people in Chicago and the people in Minneapolis: they run towards the whistles, which is a scary thing to do. After two people have been shot, they run towards them and they start recording, and they've made it impossible for the administration to lie about what's happening."

You don't fight this hard to hide nothing

Yeah, US and Canada are mindbogglingly far ahead of their competition. Obv some teams are beginning to close the gap a bit, but the gap was so large to begin with that it’s going to take a long time of steady improvement to even threaten.

The “only one puck to go around” problem is real and yeah, Wilson is fantastic about contributing without it. Really thought Mangiapane would click in Edmonton for the same reason, I’d love to know what happened there.

Trump abdicating on Covid was a national disaster and somehow by abdicating no one blamed him for it. Buck passing worked. Insanity

Data is very, very clear on this—every additional velocity unit increases marginal deaths and collisions per mile. We should be much, much harsher on speeding than we currently are.

We should also be designing our roads so that it’s easier to stay under the limit by default.

We should do this here, but because of legacy fleets and state speed limit nonsense, it would take some time to become effective.

Capping state speed limits at 65, with 70 being allowed by petition, then electronic limiting at 68 max would be very effective.

Start with commercial vehicles.

I told KMW to her face that Reason’s chuckleheaded bothsidesism was the proverbial last straw in calling myself a libertarian. She got defensive, but Reason kept Reasoning.

There are some there who still do good work but I’ve been furious at this shameless audacity all morning.

This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Best and brightest syndrome. Especially difficult when you’ve internalized your self worth by being able to academically outperform your peers.

Definitely didn’t happen to me. No, not at all.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby
