This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

A hate/love relationship with Newsom is the sign of a true Californian.

The Flame War of 17 Prairial

U.S. citizen in Arizona detained by immigration officials for 10 days

A 19-year old U.S. citizen was traveling from Albuquerque to Tucson. He was arrested and detained by ICE for 10 days, before his family showed a judge his identification & he was finally released. news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules

Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

All this because they didn’t have a hotel pre-booked when they arrived. Insane.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system

It also provides important context for understanding our current tariff situation.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

The President's approval will crater in time, just as Bush's did post-Lehman. But the "bad" Biden economy was always a smokescreen. The legacy media preferred to attribute Trump's victory to the economy rather than confronting the truth about their countrymen. Remember, "they're eating the pets?"

I have tariffed

I tried to simplify it to my kid like this: you buy something at the store for $50. Then Trump says that store stole $50 from you so he's going to tax the store $25. Store now charges $75.

It’s the price of the goods that his people consume to manage the micro-friction of their status anxiety that *might* matter. Might. I don’t know. They’re a delusional bunch. But if anything is going to do it, it could be this.

Pictured: the place which is, according to the Trump White House, apparently imposing 10% tariffs on the United States.

Note the total lack of any human settlements there.

A lot of people like to dismiss racism as insubstantial to material realities but we’re watching a nation burn trillions of dollars in wealth to entrench a racial system of domination.

what if liz truss but absolutely no way to get rid of her

Principal Skinner: WELL, TIL TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT'S NOT SO FUNNY. RIGHT NOW ELON MUSK IS AT HOME CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.
