Not sure about HBO's new lineup

everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

This guy gets it.
Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens

they voted for the version of trump their phone invented for them which is why I don’t understand why people are so convinced they won’t all just do the same thing for Vance

What's Plan B? Options the Trump Administration Could Pursue if the Supreme Court Strikes Down Tariffs If the Supreme Court rules President Trump cannot levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), his administration may look to alternatives to levy new tariffs and/or continue collecting revenue from imports that could include: Law/Framework Details Limitations Sec. 232 tariffs Limited to imports deemed a threat to national security. Requires investigations, which may take months. Sec. 301 tariffs Allows for tariffs against countries USTR determines are engaged in unfair trade practices. Each tariff is limited to a particular country. Requires investigations and consultations with foreign governments, which may take months. Sec. 122 tariffs Allows for tariffs to address "balance-of-payment" deficits, which can include trade deficits. Can only last for up to 150 days, and are limited to a 15% ad valorem rate. Sec. 338 tariffs Allows for tariffs when the president finds a foreign country is disadvantaging or discriminating against U.S. commerce. Generally limited to 50% of the value of the goods. There is a 30-day delay after a presidential proclamation before tariffs are triggered. Sec. 201 tariffs Allows for tariffs to address harm to U.S. domestic industries. May only last for up to 8 years (initial 4 years plus optional 4-year renewal), and are limited to a 50% ad valorem rate. After 1 year, tariffs must phase down "at regular intervals." Requires investigation from ITC. Reclassify as "licensing fees" President Trump suggested that if SCOTUS strikes down lEEPA tariffs, he may reframe them as licensing fees. If the same or substantially similar to lEEP tariffs, any lEEPA licensing fees" may be subject to further legal challenges. Congress codifies tariffs Congress could codify some or all of President Trump's tariffs in statute. Unclear if there are majority votes in either chamber to codify tariffs. Bilateral trade agreements Presid…

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

love to be looted by our criminal president

The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility.

The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Lots that is grotesque here, but I think the key thing to notice is the zero-sum worldview: if we take in a 5yo immigrant, this somehow displaces or harms at 5yo American kid. There's a finite pool of "American" to distribute.

A zero-sum worldview is the molten core of reactionary thinking.

little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?

A screenshot of a social media post, reading: Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner . Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country. The most transparent administration in American history—thank you @POTUS Trump.

With the complicity of spineless Democrats, the fascists in the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

No concessions! ABOLISH ICE! 🏴

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

"Just when I think I'm out... they pull me back in."

Democrats can't bring themselves to actually diminish ICE and the DHS police state it is part of, because they fully intend to use it themselves. They just don't like its current vibes.

They want to wipe some of the shit off their fancy toy before it's their turn to use it again, with better optics

What is Nick Shirley? Slop doesn’t need to be AI-generated

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.

I landed on "slopagandist."

Washington Post: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis violence amid calls for accountability The White House changed leadership in Minnesota and softened its tone on dead protesters as polls show Americans turning against ICE.

Semafor: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis shooting

AP: Trump administration shifts tone on fatal shooting in Minneapolis

Axios: NEW: Trump spent Sunday lamenting his administration’s botched response to the Alex Pretti shooting, including news conferences by Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem in which they seemed “callous” about the man’s death, a confidant who spoke with Trump told Axios.

Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss
