I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

You can't constrain Democratic policymaking anymore, if Trump openly defies you

(something he is clearly going to do, the first time they rule against him in a significant way)

this case will get pilloried for its lawlessness, and correctly so, but we also have to see this nonsense (and most of Trump’s bs) as the opportunity it is.

you can go make the law what you want it to be. fake? doesn’t matter, you can make it real.

what we need is a left willing to seize that.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.

109 years later, the Clinic is long closedβ€”but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

I really thought my feminist theory professors were laying it on a bit thick with their whole :

"they hate women and want us to experience physical pain in penance fot original sin..."

Do you know how much I resent feeling tangibly relieved by this Jimmy Kimmel news...

An emotionally healthy version of me absolutely does not give a shit about "Jimmy Kimmel Live".

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Josh Kraft ends campaign for Boston mayor Philanthropist Josh Kraft, son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, is ending his campaign for mayor after a blistering defeat in Boston's preliminary election.

It’s something unpredictable. But in the end it’s right. I hope you had the time of your life. 🎢🎢🎢

Killing people for their politics (or talking about doing it) is an absolute disaster for the left. Whoever did this is no ally of mine, morally or strategically

But why is talking about it is *not* a disaster for the right (and: how do we make it one).

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Yeah I mean as moral failures go this is a big and (obviously) unforgivable one... The only place I depart from you is if it was simplistic or premeditated.

I think it's too harsh on Obama/too generous to the lefties (including myself) to say the guy was lying through his teeth.

He was always framing the "hope and change" as what was possible if we moved beyond partisanship and ideology. We (the coalition) turned out to be wrong about that.

Yeah l'll concede "better things aren't possible" isn't gonna play... but I think tweet is a straw man.

The way centrism is likely to present is "we have to compromise to move past the bush/trump criminality" and "we aren't a nation of red states or blue states, but the United States of America".

Lotta leftist dunking here as if to say: "impossible".

Do you guys remember Obama? What, do you think just because you fancy yourself older and wiser, now*the country* isn't gonna get hung up on centrist platitudes...

Please be serious.

I thought these guys were so pumped to have mayor mamdani to beat up on. What a "get" he would be for national Republicans.

When the chips are down these people are cowards. They hate a real fight.
