Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

The goal of No Kings is not to be the end, all, be all of resistance. It is not the arbiter of what resistance is. It exists to facilitate broad-appeal mass mobilization that serves as an entry point, mass recruitment drive, and, in last week’s case, to help make the midterms too big to rig
look, if this is what the Florida EV looks like a week out from the election I just don’t think the GOP is gonna make all this enthusiasm up on e-day same story every place that has early vote, one side wants to be here and one side doesn’t
Republicans will almost certainly pass Democrats at some point in Florida but everyone said that would be today and nope. I still expect like a ~5% loss for Nixon and Jolly but it’s fun to dream a little and follow this.
This reminds me of the time I told a joke about Greek philosophers and it helped end someone’s relationship. No I’m not joking, that actually happened.
Headline of the week
She realized she wanted a platonic relationship.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense
Trump admits that he told the DOJ to sue Alaska over the election
every male college professor apparently needs to be given a starter pack here is your office, here is your chair, here is a buzzer that will shock you every time you think about fucking one of your students
I hope when I click it’s just shocked Pikachu
one thing I will say about the preemptive pardon bullshit is it is not the behavior of a group of people who have a definitive plan to retain power forever
no I absolutely guarantee you do not
Hands Off NYC is showing the way. Until we can fully Abolish ICE, we must band together with our neighbors to show up, document, and protect the most vulnerable members in our communities. There are more of us than there are of them!
Some cities it's just not worth fucking with
I'm sorry if it makes me lib as hell but I do think it's a serious issue a lot of people in power have worked tirelessly to disempower education and journalism and that people are reading significantly less and that information is increasingly disseminated by video formats speaking authoritatively.
Matthew Yglesias continues to say that talking about ICE and excessive force in immigration enforcement helps Republicans. He is obviously wrong about this and refuses to acknowledge the data. Way past time for everyone to update their priors on this.
Why Matt in particular is a awful person to have so much clout with elites is because he comes at “follow the data, the vaunted data” and then just lies

it does give me some level of satisfaction that he’s going to die mad about not getting a nobel peace prize because obama got one and he didn’t
Trump: "I've settled 8 wars, think of that. Did I get the Nobel Prize, no? DID I GET THE NOBEL PRIZE?"
this is “8 bit font embedded conspiracy theory emails you got from your insane uncle in 2007” tier slop
“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”
The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere decade ago, we had a presidential election in which effectively the only issue on the table was the security of IT & communications at the highest level of government. I’m sure the next 2 weeks will reflect this same level of urgency & concern 🤔
so we learned the russians and the dutch hacked jared kushners phone i am sure we have heard the end of this
it’s also funny how they assume conservatism will be what you’re held accountable to and not, like, meeting Lincoln with a crowbar
Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.
grow up. it's not society's job to manage every conceivable thing that might make some idiot uncomfortable.
That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman? Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know. (I don't know any MAGA women)
We condemn MS Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office’s decision to claim that Senatobia PD’s shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley “was justified.” We stand in solidarity with local community members who demand justice as we call for the case to be determined by a Grand Jury instead of the AG’s Office.
Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."
@davidjroth.bsky.social the county Republican party (in Ohio) is in the same building that I work in, and I taped up part of your column to their door today, because you express your disgust much more civilly and coherently than I do, much thanks.
"the moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America" - AOC quite healing to hear a single politician actually articulate this basic basic point
Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:
2 things can be true: 1) the worst milquetoast corporate Dem (not named Fetterman) is nowhere near as bad as Donald Trump 2) if a milquetoast corporate Dem (who won’t prosecute the Trump regime, expand the Court, or Abolish ICE) wins the 2028 Dem primary, an even worse fascist will win in 2032.
Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!
Nathan Fielder Quietly Deletes Footage Of Theranos Machine Working Perfectly
republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
this has never felt more true. it's rapists and their defenders all the way down.
in late 2024 Marisa Kabas posted "when i look at this incoming administration all i see is Rape" & that's accurate, but more comprehensively it's a DARVO Regime, on every issue, in every aspect
