Ernst vom Rath

The name we all need to be remembering right now is Ernst vom Rath.

Yes!
Elon, you can’t buy Wisconsin!

Conservatives are disappointed, liberals are furious. Let’s carry that energy into the midterms.

The people have spoken tonight.

Elon—you can’t buy Wisconsin.

Turnout was incredible for a spring election. Your VOTE matters!!!!

This is what democracy looks like. 🗳️

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

The Trump administration has deported hundreds of migrants while refusing to reveal their identities or the evidence against them, prompting complaints from the migrants’ families and from critics who say the administration is trampling on civil liberties.

I read your article back in December and have been wondering what happened. I'm so grateful Natalie was able to get the surgery she needed, and furious at what you went through.

I feel like the grown-up version of the monster under the bed is the task you've been procrastinating on for weeks.

You don't have to like or agree with Mahmoud Khalil. That's the point. They deliberately picked someone to be first who wouldn't be as universally sympathetic.

If we want to keep people from being stripped of their rights, we have to defend the rights of EVERYONE, even people we might not like.

Having accidentally done it today, I think "go chew glass" will be my new condemnation of choice. 0/10 Do not recommend.

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time

Make America boring again!

I want a government that's actively reducing the risk of my life/house/family being destroyed by wildfire, epidemics, hurricanes, serious health diagnosis, floods, unemployment, landslides, critical goods shortages, violence, dust storms, etc.

The last people I want in charge of making those cuts are an egomaniacal billionaire who thinks money = wisdom and won't be affected because he can easily afford to pay for everything privately, and his team of overpaid 20-somethings who have never had to take care of anyone else in their lives.

The federal government gives me very good value for my tax dollars. Could it be streamlined? Sure, but I want it pruned by someone with some basic concept of the value of what they're cutting.

I don't have $$$ to spare to pay for private fire fighting, policing, military protection, medical research, scientific research, buying land for recreation, private verification my food and water are safe, weather alerts, support for the arts, and foreign aid.

Why do I support my tax dollars going to various federal agencies?
Because I'm already living paycheck to paycheck, paying for housing, childcare, health deductibles, insurance, glasses & dental care (somehow not part of healthcare), saving for college & retirement, etc.

Anti-vax? Why haven't you disabled the airbags in your car yet? After all 284 people died in 1990-2017 due to airbag-related injuries. And they only reduce death crashes by 34% (61% w' seatbelts.)

If something isn't 100% certain and there's any risk of death, you shouldn't do it, right? /s

This was a wild ride. I couldn't quite tell, was the OP saying she had already ended the engagement or was she just contemplating it? Because that really changes how she can respond at work.

When conservatives bleat about DEI hires, a reason they think that women and minorities are less competent than white men is that the women and minorities *on their side* legitimately ARE less competent. They just can't understand why the competent people might not want to be on their team.

Well... Bill Clinton no longer has the title of the President who did the most disgusting thing in the Oval Office.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

In the wins column: My 9-year-old spontaneously folded two loads of laundry, her own and her sister's. This is a first-ever for her.

In the losses: My 3-year-old refuses to eat absolutely anything I cook her, even previously acceptable foods. She now lives on fruit and goldfish.

Have you ever run into a problem and thought, "Somebody should do something about this?" Yeah, well for countless times in the past that "somebody" was a federal employee.

Can we just ID this guy as the nepo baby he is?

My daughter has a school assignment to write historical fiction about the Japanese internment during World War II. She's eight years old.

I really didn't anticipate how topical that particular chapter in US history would suddenly become.

Today is Lunar New Year and we're going into the year of the wood snake.

I've seen two commentators in the last couple of days evoke the ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a serpent eating its tail, to describe two different aspects of what's happening now.

That feels meaningful to me.

Oh? Which inner cities, exactly? What damage are they doing? Be specific; sources would be nice.
