Minnesota AG Keith Ellison on his Republican opponent Ron Schutz: "Ron is a movement Republican ... I would think that a movement Republican, at a time when our state is being persecuted by a Republican administration, would stand up and be a little more vocal than just sending out a presser."

I can think of no product in human history where it demanded we take it seriously and enjoy it. Imagine saying that people are ignorant for not educating themselves on chicken McNuggets. If AI is going to be remotely positive in my life, i recommend someone sell me on that, but all i see is shit.

Listening to the new Hard Fork hosts and they only kind of laugh off the idea that Silicon Valley is spending billions for an app that makes dinner reservations. I think i go to restaurants that require reservations maybe twice a year? It’s absolutely unhinged podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

I know I’m an unfrozen caveman lawyer, but you’re telling me we can’t find literally anyone capable who would head a University for the paltry sum of , say, $500k a year?

We’re raising money to help volunteers across the country document ICE flights. This helps with accountability, advancing policy, and demostrates to detainees, and their loved ones, that they’re worthy of being counted, and are cared for by their community. Please help: ottergoose.net/ice

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

At Allianz, there is a signed flag from Austin fans in the Wonderwall that they gave us as a sign of support during the ICE occupation. For Austin FC to do this to their fans is absolutely infuriating. Screw Austin FC, screw Q2 Stadium, screw McConaughey

every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order – from the ostensibly liberal government to the ostensibly liberal media to ostensibly liberal academia – are all laser focused on one single thing...the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish

This is one of those moments where I’m overwhelmed and do not feel up to the task of capturing exactly what is happening in words as peaceful college students across the country are being thrown into the carceral grinder by their own administrations for the crime of sitting around and asking for the facilitation of less death but I will tell you one thing which is that we are currently experiencing a period of collective mass hysteria and mass psychosis I haven’t seen since the early 2000s where every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order – from the ostensibly liberal government to the ostensibly liberal media to ostensibly liberal academia – are all laser focused on one single thing: No matter the cost in blood or money, no matter the suffering of innocents, no matter the violations of supposed norms, the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish and any effort to forestall that from Boston to Los Angeles to Atlanta to New York City should be met with the full force of the militarized police to “restore the peace.”

This specific slaughter for some reason – and yes I know a number of the reasons – is worth any price we might have to pay at home in terms of dismantling our own Constitutional rights. It’s madness. People have gone mad. Normal people that we all know not just the easily dismissed as "evil" ones.
