We need to talk about the little league soccer goalie to anxious-avoidant adult pipeline

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Folks, we crushed Bondi.

if theres an idealized future for the promise of america it is much closer to the guy waving a mexican flag on a motorcycle protesting against ice agents than it is to the people spending their time scolding him for not trying to appeal to 20 bigots in wisconsin

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

The idea that MAHA might have used AI to generate citations is important, but don’t let that obscure the more relevant point: American public health agencies are knowingly manipulating data to fit into an agenda.

And that agenda has nothing to do with health.

Picture of a Squirtle with text "Come out, Squirtle" and Squirtle looking at a rainbow saying "Wow! I'm so glad I came out!"

Do you need to see the inspection permit?

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

photo of a red shopping basket filled with turnips, under the headline: If you’re worried about food tariffs, adopt a frugal mindset and cook smarter Learn to shop for groceries like a thrifter and work on eliminating waste By Sheryl Julian Globe Correspondent,Updated April 7, 2025, 7:21 a.m. caption: The big question is, writes Sheryl Julian, are we expected to remove all the pleasures from the table and turn the nightly dinner into a feast of locally grown turnips (above) and leafy greens?Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff

you know things are going well when they break out the turnip photos

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

This is Portland erasure

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Monday introduced a bill to bar transgender women from facilities on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity. The resolution, which would prohibit members, officer…

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps.

if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill won’t be far behind. and if the GOP isn’t unanimous, there’s a chance they won’t even try.
