It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

Trump’s tariff fantasy collides with economic reality - The Boston Globe The president claims an “economic miracle.” The data tell a different story.

New in the @bostonglobe.com: an op-ed I wrote with @josephestiglitz.bsky.social on the economics of the first year of Trump’s second term.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

so much of trump's racism — and miller's and vance's and the entire lot of them — is just jealousy. they are miserable losers who are upset that other people and cultures are having a heck of a lot more fun than them

The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

ICE is trying to build a mass-detention facility in my district.

So I called them out.

This was their (outrageous!) response ↓

The reason there’s “unprecedented opposition” is because they’re murdering people in the streets.

We will not relent. We’re only gonna get louder.

2 more seasons of third-and-long receiver screens. you did it, buffalo

very funny to do a whole big schtick about how the results aren't good enough and how many of the team's problems were specifically caused by the coaching staff, and then promote a member of the coaching staff

At least now he maybe won’t be calling plays?

Preschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says The detentions of Columbia Heights students come after weeks of heightened concern and enforcement presence near and on Twin Cities school property.

Lots of heartbreaking, enraging, cortisol-dump-inducing images coming out of Minneapolis, but I'm stuck on this one, of a five-year-old in his preschool backpack just before being bundled into an ICE van and disappeared from his mother and brother and community.

Re: Sean McDermott getting fired, I ask once again: why are all these GMs keeping their jobs when they bear more responsibility for team failure?

This makes less sense. Especially considering the glut of roster moves in free agency and the draft that haven’t worked out. Yes, on the field hasn’t been perfect (which falls on McDermott), but Beane staying on makes it feel like all the blame is falling on McDermott and that’s not right

Seeing reports that Brandon Beane is leading the search for the next Bills HC might be the oddest part of all of this. The Bills' roster is extremely flawed. Truly would have bet he would have been gone before Sean McDermott.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Life is a simulation just to bring pain to Bills fans

I’m pretty sure every TV in the Buffalo area has just been destroyed

ICE Opening Huge Lockup 50 Miles North of New York City The coming “processing facility” is already triggering protests upstate.

TBH I’m worried what we’ll miss most from Gabe + Shavers is their blocking, which maybe says a lot.

Cover of High Times magazine, Dec. 1978, with Truman Capote & Andy Warhol

This time of year I always think of this deliciously unhinged photo shoot with Truman Capote & Andy Warhol for High Times magazine's 1978 Xmas issue, with Capote soused to the gills & Warhol gamely playing along as Santa. I want someone to write an extended oral history of this photo shoot alone
