This is literally my entire political philosophy. If it is bad for children — anyone’s children — then I am against it.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Fuming is the correct word. Fuck this noise. @thornsfc.com ownership (in particular) should've known better; this represents a massive gap with fans. And taking Portland fans for granted will not end well.

A New AI Partnership Has Local Women’s Sports Fans Fuming - Portland Mercury

Portlanders love their pro women’s sports teams. The Thorns have enjoyed tremendous support since they began playing in 2013, and the Fire has hosted multiple sold-out games at the Moda Center this ye...

The '17 and '22 Thorns had amazing offensive players... But, they were anchored by very talented back lines. The '26 Thorns could be amazing because they are great up front. But, they are in a free fall because they don't have the talent on the back line. Agoos needs to make changes. #BAONPDX

Trump isn’t done interfering with elections | Editorial

The president’s midterm strategy is less about winning votes than preventing them from being cast and counted.

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

Why I think it's time for some Governors to come up with a plan to decide whether or not constituents and businesses in state should continue paying federal taxes. We may not be able to physically stop Musk, but we have a legal argument that we already paid for shit we are not getting.

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com · last yr.

The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, United States DOGE Service, as an entity insulated from public records requests or most judicial intervention until at least 2034 (Important reporting here by NYT Minho Kim) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

In a republic, the government’s monopoly on force exists solely as a commitment to protect its citizens from harm.

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

why don't we make all food free everywhere for everybody always to infinity and beyond if you have any questions about how this works that means you're against feeding people

“False allegations ruin men’s lives!” Motherfuckers, TRUE allegations don’t even ruin men’s lives.

Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

If I paid a roofer to fix my roof, and he came down the ladder and said “yup you need your roof fixed” instead of actually fixing it, I would hire a different roofer

Donald Trump is a liar and a fraud.

Someone asked me what it's like having #adhd. I said it can be a bit like this: Me: "Hi, Dan. Got your message. So, fill me in; what's the super important thing we need to do today?" Dan: "Firstly, it's absolutely crucial that we... [Dan's voice fades into the distance]..." My brain:
