This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

Remembering Some Guys is possibly the most singularly wholesome, non-toxic activity many men engage in

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

that’s right

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

current levels of optimism in the US: "lots of people actually still think concentration camps are a bad idea"

you know the Overton window has shifted to basically another plane of existence when you read things like "there's pretty broad discomfort with disappearing people with no due process" as though that is a reassuring, optimistic stance to take

Saw an article from a local Philly paper saying that they thought this Giants-Phillies series would be "at least 3 easy wins to pencil in" and I gotta say I appreciate humility of putting that in print after last night's game

The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government's contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable.

I was talking to the Brewers manager and he told me that every time the Yankees hit a grand slam he just puts in a new pitcher and I told him it sounds like he's just feeding pitchers to the Yankees and his pitching coach started crying

Thank you!!

the only exception to this in my opinion is José Ramírez. you can't play third base professionally for long if you ever think about anything other than "see ball -> catch ball". 100% of your brain power has to go to that state of preparedness 24/7

This is still one of my favourite jokes

I do not believe in any tech product where the devs want us to view it with some form of religious awe, a divine gift redefining human experience and bequeathing knowledge unto us humble land apes. I believe in a tech product where the devs are like “this is handy for planning breakfasts”

We must all continue living, and not just living but thriving, for Sweet Potato

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.

Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

Zuck is citing an explicitly political justification to require large numbers of workers to relocate to a state where abortion and youth gender affirming care are illegal. That’s quite a statement on who belongs on your trust and safety team.
