And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

The biggest reason his would-be regime has basically been stillborn is that he's not capable of the long-range straegic planning necessary to do regime change. Most of his closest subordinates are also either incompetents or fanatics. Hence the persistent overreach and obviously-doomed endeavors.

Good question

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Acton’s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. I’m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

“There is a reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as before an ancient friend.” — James Baldwin, No Name in the Street

Who is writing about sexuality and American fascism these days? Bonus points for literary scholars.

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

30 years of the best Phish studio album. Billy Breathes opened something up for me in my music listening, especially the mellow side B sequence of Train Song, Bliss, Billy Breathes, Swept Away, and Steep. Looking back on it now, I see the roots of the music I would eventually make on my own

I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.

Keep in mind that SpaceX subsists entirely off US Government contracts. Without them it is a massive pump and dump scheme. And it uses its power to back Russia in a conflict with a US ally. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

Two best quarterback performances statistically (EPA per pass play) so far this season: 1. Brock Purdy last week 2. Brock Purdy today

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.

Spent some quality time w/my pal @zachlowenba.bsky.social yesterday to discuss Jalen Duren, KAT, Kawhi and Steph. We also made some *very* early awards predictions for Coach of the Year and Sixth Man awards.

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.

I noticed that I was still receiving emails from @marypeltola.com. No longer.

my live fuel clock showing Americans now have spent $70 billion more on filling up with gasoline since March 1 (vs same period a yr ago) and $44 billion more on diesel (same dates) for a total of ~$114.2 billion spent over this time.

After lighting house on fire and watching it burn, brave arsonist stands up to fire by pouring remnants of his water bottle on smoldering embers. #Satire

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

This is going to make me sound old and maybe a little nostalgic but it’s really striking how in the Trump era, no one even pretends to debate about policy anymore.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Stop stop stop treating this $5k check thing like it’s real. It’s just…not.

RESULT: David Morales, a socialist challenger, has ousted the mayor of Providence David Smiley. Add Providence to NYC, DC, and Ann Arbor as socialist wins in mayoral elections.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

only in America could there be a bullshit health craze centered around eating burgers, fries, and a milkshake

ok but renewable energy is cheaper than oil energy. in part *because* of the wars in Ukraine and Iran

Just listened to @gilduran.com & @chrislhayes.bsky.social talk about these antichrist obsessed weirdos this morning.

These men shouldn’t be able to walk into a room without being spat on, shouted at, having their teeth knocked clean out. They’re THAT bad. They cannot be part of a civilized society. But instead so many with power have accommodated them, either with support, or simply the presumption of regularity.

We’re stuck doing deep textual analysis on Hasan Piker, a Twitch streamer, to discover if he said something offensive. Then the actual Secretary of Defense is gleefully picking out random Canadians and mocking them for being overweight, and it’s like “Well Trump will be Trump!”

#BREAKING | Chinese runner You Biao raised the Palestinian flag at the finish line of the “OCC” UTMB marathon, covering his mouth in protest against silence over the Gaza massacres.

Greatest OCC finish ever. Lauren Gregory overtakes Naomi Lang in the home stretch. 3 second difference after a 6-hour 60K race. youtube.com/shorts/mx2Xa...

This line of questioning is utterly irrelevant to public policy & to the lives of 99% of the people AES will be representing. But it is what America's desiccated, decadent political media has come to see as "tough questions" -- ie, questions designed to hurt your chances of being elected.

If inequality can be captured in statistics, insecurity requires talking about feelings: the shame when a debt collector calls, the foreboding when you think about future job prospects or retirement, the dread that comes with the climate crisis.

*checks notes* Yup, that’s right. Thanks @foxnews!

1. The Washington press corps is Donald Trump's true constituency. He speaks for them, brings attention to them, enlarges their standing, enriches their bosses, even when, or especially when, he attacks them.

The debt incurred by Donald Trump in order to make the wealthiest 0.1% of Americans much, much wealthier... and to fight a few pointless wars on the side.

Finally some heat.

Social Security is our country’s most successful anti-poverty initiative, despite Susan Collins and others voting to weaken it. Yesterday marked 91 years since FDR signed it into law. When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll fight to scrap the payroll cap, making sure billionaires pay their fair share.

feels inevitable under current conditions that there are careers and entire publications on the "just asking questions but it sure seems like there are TOO MANY trans people/woke academics/etc" beat but you gotta be a real sick fuck to embrace that as your one trick while constantly disowning it
