Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

needless to say any other country hosting a sporting event would have hosting privileges stripped instantly if their leader said this about any athlete

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

DOGE was a failure because its entire premise was flawed, and, on top of that, the people who ran and implemented it were both arrogant and ignorant.

Democrats broadly like the United States, while Republicans virulently hate some of our largest and most iconic cities

I watched this whole thing happen w Bush! Hard to overstate the cult of personality around him! How brilliant and tough and wise he was! He turned out to be an incompetent disaster. But there was no moment of epiphany,no “wow we got that wrong” just a hard pivot (for most) into Donald Trump God King

what is fascinating to me is the number of people whose “knowledge” of government appears to just be an accumulation of cliches and stereotypes + an inchoate sense that if something is big and costly then it must necessarily be “wasteful”

The Republican Party is more or less built on reactionary opposition to the Democrats policies rather than their own actual policy ideas, and unfortunately the Democrats’ most recent policy was “having a strong economy”

I mean the problem is that Democrats are like “we did talk about the threat of fascism” and voters were like “but my eggs”

(Trump raises grocery prices for everybody, puts alcoholic sex pest in charge of the entire military, disbands flight safety boards before a plane crash, cancels all government business then says “whoops”, puts random teens in charge of All The Money) we must show patience. Someday he will falter

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...
