the punchline to your post is the nicest non-threat threat on social media. "you're just going to have a bad time". We all need more of that. "If you do that again, everyone will be sad!" 😆

Tell your kids that they need to go to law school. The next 6-10 years or so are gonna be WILD litigation times. SO many people that need to go to jail and there will be no such thing as too many attorneys.

Wait, that was IT? That was the whole speech? That was the laziest piece of writing and an even lazier piece of reading. For a war we're currently conducting. Put some effort into it, you actual war criminals.

Has anyone come up with a good way to cushion the economy from oil price shocks since the 1970s? Asking for a planet.

MedicareForAll, high-speed cross-country rail, a trillion for breakthrough medical treatments, a boom in federal housing construction, the cleanest of energies - just a bonanza of optimistic policies. Brought to you by taxing the rich.

This is probably some naive ahistorical shit on my part, but it FEELS like opposition to DJT needs to come up with a moonshot of a political platform. DJT is dragging us all back to a mix of 1950s and 1830s and rather than just say "we'll restore the good old 1990s" someone needs to promise more.

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

@rosen.senate.gov you're negotiating the end of the shutdown for the promise of process as opposed to concrete concessions?? Is the Senate seat so warm that you are afraid to swing big and lose it? Stay in the fight. GOP is fully in charge and your concessions to them make it more so.

'Cause there's nothing else going on, just play Congress for a few weeks. Debate a law, iron out internal differences and then instead of complaining about Johnson to the press, come out and say "here, we got another law we think is good. If only the other half was here. anywayz, back to work!"

this is a dumb idea, but it appeals to me. What if @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just started holding legislative sessions of just Dems. And start presenting legislation you would LIKE to pass. Real legislation you think will be a big hit with the public.

The saving grace here for our democracy is that these people are overwhelmingly not original. A line of attack has worked once and now everyone is a Marxist pro-Hamas antifa all the time. It becomes a parody and people don't take you seriously.

With all the hand-wringing about the path forward, I'm more and more convinced that this is it. The obvious path of actually standing for something and methodically talking to people about it. I think that's what Zohran is doing and it's working for him.

a crowd of what looks like older people sitting at a No Kings Rally, there's a barricade in the background with even more people standing behind it holding signs. In the center of the image is an old woman, wearing a turtle neck and a sweater over it. She has glasses on with the darker sun lenses flipped up. She's holding a sign that reads: "GRANTIFA. Grandmothers against fascism!"

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
