It is worth, I think, emphasizing that in trampling congressional attempts to protect the rights of Black people, the Court is basically doing what it has always done, with the exception of a couple decades in the mid-20th century when it often worked with Congress to protect the rights of Black ppl

The alleged WHCD shooter’s manifesto says he did it because of his Christianity, or was at least influenced by his faith. If he was a Muslim, that would be the headline of every story and the lead on every newscast.

@universityofkansas.bsky.social Baseball players and coaches may be ranked but I’ve rarely seen such poor sportsmanship. Embarrassing for all of them.

Let he who has not had casual correspondence with child sex traffickers cast the first stone.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Think about where our world would be if Mitch McConnell and 9 other Republicans had taken a different course 5 years ago www.cnn.com/2021/02/13/p...

@deltaair.bsky.social You know what isn’t helpful? When your team at the airport tells passengers that “it’s the airport’s fault.”

@atlairport.bsky.social Child arrived 3 hours early as suggested. People breaking in line. Still not in an actual security line. Can't see the posted wait times. Can't access posted wait times b/c your damn website is down. Ridiculous for world's busiest airport. @deltaairline.bsky.social

So he’s gone from talking about war to talking about the ballroom. He is not well.

You are up 19-0 and you’re throwing punches. Don’t be trash.

Well Bernie made it halfway through the 2nd half before he started sounding like he’s rooting for the opposing team. @uvmathletics.bsky.social deserves better. @espn.com

So I see @cnn.com decided to bring on a member of the administration so he can lie about what happened yesterday.

@cnn.com @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com You are not obligated to let someone from the administration come in your shows tomorrow and lie about what happened in MN

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

It’s time to get rid of ICE. This agency cannot be redeemed with body cameras. cc: @democrats.org

I see the A-10 referees are just as bad as ever.

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

The guys on the @espn.com call for the pop tarts bowl surprised by the TD call because they are too busy talking. Pay attention.

How was that not pass interference?! @nflbluesky.bsky.social you have a serious problem with your referees. Awful.

President Trump says that checks for $1,776 each are going out to nearly 1.5 million servicemembers. I have questions. + When did Congress approve such a plan? + Where is the money coming from? + How is it non-taxable? Did Congress vote to do that? I'm sure there must be specific bill text.

Read my newest post at Substack I've moved my musings to Substack (not really sure what I'm doing over there but I follow a lot of accounts there and have decided it's easier to just be in one place.) If you're still interested in what I'm thinking, please head over there and subscribe. I'd…

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Investigating Mark Kelly won’t bring down the price of groceries.

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

Hey @ajc.com why don’t you include the percentage of vote reported in your results? Impossible to know the status of any race without that info.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy! Sorta seems like a problem.

When the vice president of the United States is a 12 year old boy…

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Once again, where is the CNO? SECNAV? After what just happened in Quantico, when will the military top brass speak up? I asked this after the disgrace at Ft. Bragg, too. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

Imagine if Obama had said this in front of military personnel about Republicans.

The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened:   1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills.   2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us.   3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

A) Republicans control all 3 branches B) has he met his boss

Y’all. He’s bad at this.

ICE official confirms that the detainees who were shot were restrained when they were shot

These videos need to be shown on tv news every day so Americans can see how people are being treated in our names. @abcnetwork.bsky.social @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com

I slam the NYT when it normalizes Trump and reaches for neutral language to characterize his batshit craziness. But here they got it right.

All these media companies obeying in advance does not bode well for democracy

Free speech is dying

What a surprise that @kristenwelker.bsky.social isn’t pushing back on the claim that the shooter had a leftist ideology.

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

This is a gorgeous thread.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

Why pass sensible gun legislation when “thoughts and prayers” are so obviously effective?
