genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

jesus christ

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people.

Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

i think every democrat who does a cable news hit should start calling trump the pedophile president

i am watching clips from the kennedy hearing and one thing that comes across is his petulance at being challenged. he is like an overgrown baby (if that baby were a hot dog you grilled too long)

Aside from all the terrible things he believes and is doing, it really shows how RFK has never run an organization of any size or been in a position of power before. He has no clue how to even superficially play the game. Unqualified even if you set aside how he's insane and malignant.

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

This biggest problem in American politics is that there are a ton of Americans who listen to this and believe it, and believe anyone who tells them otherwise is lying to them out of either evil or a desire to take advantage of them. I'm not sure how you fix that—or fix the country while it's true.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

If your whole political identity is “resisting government overreach,” then why are you silent when ICE arrests people without warrants, hearings, or ID?

Tyranny isn’t always a big speech and a boot. Sometimes it’s just a cell phone and a badge that says nothing.

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

An entire generation of people raised on memes and Fox News who are just completely unable to separate propaganda from reality. If there is a crisis, it’s epistemological. Fascists will try to bend reality to their ideology, but this always fails in the long run with tons of damage along the way.

"What is best in life?"

"To watch your enemies crush each other, see them drive each other insane, and to hear the lamentations of their fanboys."

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Idk man, maybe the Constitution?

Guys, I just want to say that on Friday I renewed my library card and took out a bunch of books that are not worthy, or serious, or educational. They're just stories, and they have already fundamentally made my mental health better.
Thank God for the story tellers.

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Opinion | Trump Is on the Wrong Side of History by Design The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

shoutout to every credulous pundit who said that this piece was hysterical

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

The Women going to the Sepulchre, 1912, Robert Anning Bell Painting of women in blue garments walking leftward, one woman, and then five behind her, on a flat plain, hazy sky ....

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

The lost art of reading the room.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

my offer to america: we bring woke back
