[there's no way he can blame this on democrats. even he's not that good.]

Donald Trump is our nation's biggest mark but Dem leadership is so inept and fundamentally unpersuasive that they've lost a charisma contest to Steven Miller for ten years

this is your brain when your entire politics is just a set of aesthetics

This timeline, man…

#OtD 21 Nov 1922 Mexican anarchist communist of Zapotec descent, Ricardo Flores Magón, died after months of illness and neglect in Leavenworth Prison, Kansas. He was one of the major thinkers and activists of the Mexican revolution stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9420...

I should add: criticism of capitalism *in general* is also hardly unusual among American Christians and Jews, as well as American Muslims.

Malcolm X once speculated that capitalism would ultimately fall, comparing the system to a blood-sucking vulture.

There's a through-line between suppressing grad students unionizing and outsourcing knowledge creation to a malevolent robot trained on theft, racism, and disregard for knowledge creation

Linking back to this article because lol Gil Mora scored a panenka tonight that put Xolos up 2-1 in a Liga MX playoff game

Calling all contingent historians and their editors--if you haven't submitted for this year's lists, why not? Seriously, these are our most highly read pieces of the year. They are a great way to get your scholarship in front of people and SELL YOUR BOOKS.

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe for our Fired Four, who were illegally fired from their jobs by union-busting
Conde Nast. If you think union-busting is disgusting, donating is the perfect way to say it ! www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Another day that ends with the letter “y” 😅

Every news conference from this administration looks and sounds like a Command & Conquer dialogue scene.

The fun part about letting way more teams into the World Cup is a lot of unexpected countries are qualifying. The less fun part is this is the last time it will ever mean this much

BROOOOOOO!!!

Kevin Alvarez out there looking like Danny Lux.

Here is a baseball take:

Fernando Valenzuela belongs in the Hall of Fame and the veterans committee should put him in. Amazing pitcher. Global phenomenon. Cool screwball. Kept going for decades even after his arm practically fell off. And you can't tell the story of the sport without him.

🙋🏻‍♀️ independent fact checker here!

Yes there are many freelance fact checkers and editors. But fact checking is not a priority for pubs. We were the first to be fired as the industry imploded

So there’s no desire to hire us, even independently

I work on books and am hired* paid directly by authors

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I love how this photograph SCREAMS “1990s post-punk band” vibes.

Hi @ktla.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

Long live Riverside!

“Finally, we got an ICE agent who crossed the line so bad, he got arrested,” Attorney Greg Kirakosian said in a statement to L.A. TACO.

IMO MTG and others on the right who choose to abandon Trump are doing so with the intention of going further right.

They are not somehow on our side, they are on Nick Fuentes’s side.

I got a tip a few months ago that ICE was planning to use tribal airports for ICE flights. I spent a few hours scouring flight data, found no evidence of this, and let it go.

But perhaps they all just said no? If anyone has more info, hmu on signal at gbrockell.44!
