We found a very interesting episode of Star Trek: Voyager, sir.

Shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball, just for fun.
There was absolutely no threat here.

We could hear them laughing

The woman whose first name is an adverb 100% talks shit about seeing pronouns.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

What is the great globe itself but a Loose-Fish?

The Supreme Court is about to rule that being gay isn’t innate, inherent, or immutable, but religion is.

Perfect analogy. I need people to remember that when people in your real lives struggle to understand and frame this shit properly using these analogies just in the course of conversation. You don't necessarily need to send or show them the videos. Just say the words... put it to them this way.

This man’s biological name is Rafael Edward Cruz.

MAGA is a wholesale rejection of the Enlightenment including stuff so basic that we don't even think of it being part of the Enlightenment project--like being polite to people and making social interactions smooth and pleasant.

In Portland they call this ICE fishing! 😂

Hilarious and richly informative

we should just skip oral arguments and move right to dropping opinions. this is all for show. we know how these jamokes are going to rule.

most embarrassing SCOTUS in modern history.

Remember Wikileaks? That website that was very much earnestly concerned about government overreach and abuse and not just an op?

The Speaker doesn’t read the articles either.

There aren’t any cameras and actual interdiction isn’t done by cosplayers in neck gaiters. That stuff doesn’t get the clicks.

What's your favorite movie trailer of all time?

This one, for Madeline’s Madeline.

The film doesn’t come close to the trailer.

Oh cool— they have a payphone! How contemporary.

Frank Luntz apparently ran a few focus groups.

Oh look— they have a payphone!

How contemporary. And not at all misleading.

The only thing these broken people truly believe in is their inherent right to hold power.

The explanations are for credulous folk like Chait who’ll instinctively launder the bad-faith bullying. “Appears to believe? “Right and good?” c’mon man.

They’re Weekend At Bernie’s-ing a living corpse.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Peter Lorre out here taking strays.

This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.

This is my blood

To the extent that Murphy is describing the situation accurately, the takeaway here is that Team Don't Fight is motivated by fear of electoral consequences.

Which means that it's voters' job to change what they're afraid of.
