gotta be the part on this live version of Ry Cooder playing How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live--the part from 1:10-1:35 where it transitions from Bobby King's gospel chorus to Flaco JImenez's accordion and the Mexican sax www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaJz...
Tell me about a part, a moment, a time stamp in a song that has you like this.
bigoted-ass messaging from people who try to paint their prejudice as smart and strategic. this is loser shit. no one has ever respected it, this is Millard Fillmore shit
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

again: This man doesn't wash his hands after he takes a shit
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

I think there should be a deeper look into how association with historical figures is some kind of vapid shortcut to contemporary associations in some circles of partisanship, and what it functionally does and doesnt do but also... It is something where JB reverence doesnt ever manifest JB deeds.

the space DUI occupies is low key one of the most insane things about car culture. it's both heavily stigmatized for obvious reasons, while also sort of tacitly generally accepted as common practice to the point of legally requiring BLACKOUT ZONE BAR & GRILL to have a minimum number of parking spots
this is a first: "don't build a protected bike lane/pedestrian crossing because a drunk driver will hit it"

There is no sympathy for taking your daughter out of school when you took other people’s kids to concentration camps 🤷🏻♂️
The ICE officer who faces charges for road raging in Minneapolis (pulling a gun on a random motorist who blocked him from driving his unmarked SUV on the shoulder) broke into tears on the stand and said he was under a lot of stress, ok?

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

The man who asked the question is a literal white nationalist operative who is suggesting El-Sayed is a terrorist and these fucking twerps are like “He came off a little smug”
‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

James Carville was calling people Judas for endorsing Obama over Clinton in that primary btw
your regular reminder that james carville thought that obama's 2008 win meant that democrats had secured a generational majority that would render the republican party obsolete. so you don't actually ever have to listen to him

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG SAYS HE BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE IN GERMANY WILL MOSTLY WORK INSIDE A DIGITAL TWIN OF THEIR COMPANY, BUILDING DIGITAL CARS WITH DIGITAL BRAINS, WITH AI ROBOTS BUILDING ROBOTIC CARS INSIDE ROBOTIC FACTORIES
I'm also reminded of this NPR piece from 13 years ago when their ombusdman publicly scolded a reporter for correctly calling Center for Immigration Studies (founded by a white nationalist!) "right-wing" www.npr.org/sections/pub...
This 2022 piece by Jeremy Peters In the New York Times was hilarious bullshit when it was published but now that Musk is literally bankrolling the entire Republican Party it’s a fucking laugh riot.

On March 25, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a news conference, "The lawsuit today challenging the categorical withholding of all evidence from a state for criminal investigation is unprecedented in American history."
A new pause in federal cooperation is again slowing Minnesota's review of the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis.
