i just want one journalist to ask a politician 1.) is this acceptable, 2.) if it is not, why are they not loudly taking about X's antisemitism problem, and 3.) why they are still on X when it's users and owner are open antisemites and white nationalists? PLEASE. ANYONE. SOMEONE PLEASE.

Stoned out of his gourd, Paul figured out the secrets of the universe and asked Beatles roadie Mal Evans to write them down so Paul wouldn’t forget them. The next morning, Paul asked for Mal to show him the paper. It read, “There are seven levels.”

A misinterpretation shared by Bob Dylan. When he met the Beatles at their hotel in 1964, he told them he thought it was cool that they actually sang, “I get high” in their song. Having been disabused of his mistake, he whipped out some reefer and got them all very high.

Your 1,384th reminder that the Supreme Court's grant of criminal immunity to sitting presidents was an epochal dereliction of duty. It needs to be wiped from the books as soon as possible.

It's a tough choice between The Beatles' version of Long Tall Sally or their version of Please Mister Postman, but I'll have to go with the former. Perfectly unhinged rock 'n' roll singing by Paul & great solo breaks by John & George. youtu.be/w-iA9-D_Mbw?...

I saw Tillis on @arimelber.bsky.social's The Beat last night. Insufferable. Basically responded to every question as to why he went along with all the bullshit & the unqualified & dangerous nominations to key cabinet posts w/ the answer, "The rest of my party supported it & I support my party."

Morello made a statement, he's a grown-up, & other people can point out what they think are the flaws in the statement. Nothing I said implies Morello should be canceled. Is he above criticism by a rando like me? I responded from experience. In 2000, I shared his belief & then saw how it played out.

Than if Trump won? Are you fucking kidding? Yes.

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

No, it's a reasonable interpretation of the attitude informing Morello's position because we have a test case of what happens when too many people decide harm reduction is beneath them. It's the contemporary pro-authoritarian, racist John Roberts Supreme Court & all the evils that's condoned.

120

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Yeah, & I'm mad at insufferable people who wash their hands of the tragedies that ensue because they thought they were morally superior by refusing to take into account harm reduction.

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

& there's blame to spread around, very much including the kinds of campaigns Dems wage & their own moral failings in office. But this attitude of "The most important consideration in my voting is the moral purity of my decision" & NOT, "Could this lead to harming vulnerable people?", sucks IMO. /2

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Right, but there will be other elections & he does have a significant measure of influence on specifuc audiences & I think his advice has proven to be stupid & dangerous. A lot of bad shit happened because it got close enough for Bush to steal it from Gore. & because Trump won a second time. /1

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

So you're saying you're ok with losing voting rights, losing abortion rights, Trump having immunity to commit crimes, and all the rest. You're okay with ICE's assault on immigrant communities. Because it isn't a question of moral relativism, it's a question of real peoples' lives and suffering.

Hank Hoffman @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

As someone who voted for Nader in 2000 & learned my lesson—even though Gore took my state—I still think it's worth calling out Morello's logic. If Bush hadn't won, no Roberts & Alito SCOTUS, no Citizens United, Dobbs, Shelby v. Holder, Trump v. USA. His stance—my vote's a pure moral statement—is BS.

Abolish ICE.

Haitian Bridge Alliance President Guerline Jozef said that Pierre Damas Bel had complained of heat emanating from the ankle monitor and needing to wear a sock between the device and his leg to protect his skin. She said when Pierre Damas Bel brought those concerns to ICE at an appointment asking for it to be removed, they instead tightened the monitor, saying it should not be lose enough for a sock to fit underneath it.

This revelation was met with horrified gasps among those in the sanctuary.

What everyone has to prepare for is the constitutional crisis to accelerate if the Democrats take the House and the Senate. Vought has been allowed by the Republicans to act with impunity, so have he will continue to ignore Congress. This is why you have to impeach him immediately.

The idea that a failed impeachment reads as approval is ridiculous. It’s the UNATTEMPTED impeachment that reads as approval.

An impeachment proceeding can act as an accountability mechanism EVEN IF the individual going through the process isn't ultimately convicted. Putting them on the spot to answer for their crimes is itself a form of punishment even if not sufficient punishment.

Almost or maybe exactly zero Dem ads (except ours) say Trump corruption or MAGA corruption or Republican corruption. They are all running against “DC corruption”and saying they’ll stand up to both parties. Absolutely idiotic strategy.

A central pillar of the liberal worldview is that any deviation from the current order established by our oppressive status quo, regardless of ideological underpinnings is problematic. Passionately want All People to have rights? Basically the same as passionately wanting No People to have rights.

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.

Both the @nytimes.com & NYT columnist Ezra Klein need to be made to answer for platforming & amplifying Rufo. They’re complicit in smuggling his vicious mix of racism & fascism into the mainstream as legitimate thoughts for debate rather than the hateful & divisive ideologies they are.

You should also reach out to the @nytimes.com, which has elevated & amplified Rufo repeatedly. And directly to Ezra Klein, too. Both the Times & Klein are complicit in smuggling Rufo’s toxic racism & fascism into the mainstream.

Yes, my son was vaccinated when he was a kid. But niow in his late 30s, he had a test to check on his measles immunity & it showed it had worn off so he got revaccinated. (I had measles as a child in the early 1960s. I checked within the past year or two & my immunity was still strong.)
