Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

That truck driver knows his beliefs made that man commit suicide that way. He feels guilty and doesnt want to and wants everyone to tell him it isnt his fault. It is your fault. You should feel guilty. Every single day of your life. Because you helped do that.

That said, for those who don't know, Alito was the supposedly "moderate" option, which, y'know, should've been a fucking lesson to more people long before now.

sure, i guess it’s possible that jack buhring voted for biden on november 3, 2020 and by january 11, 2021 he was posting support for trump’s insurrection contesting the results of the election. but even if that were true, it belies some pretty complicated politics not articulated in the story.

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

I’ve had plenty of meetings with people who disagree with me, but some ideological divides are basically chasms and all you can learn is the specific way someone’s thinking has gone off the rails.

The guys on the “other side” of climate change are science deniers. On voting rights, racists. On vaccines, cranks. They’re deeply invested in bad faith arguments, not something you can go to lunch over.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

The good thing about 2026 is that it's clear that the white supremacists are at the helm. You don't have to argue with Chait et al. You never did. You don't have to read their work because they do not have the range. You can't learn anything.
