Yeah, so, first of all, bullshit. Second, what do you call someone who is so far beyond "thin-skinned"? Is this "super thin-skinned"? "Skinless"? Words fail.

He’s a racist and a eugenicist, and he’s in charge of US public health.

JFC. This isn't even medieval. They knew damn well about Arabic sciences (and translations, etc.). Fuck these people forever.

I love that the basic objection here is "how dare the Democrats play politics with this election???" www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

Jesse Ventura is quickly falling into a Curtis Sliwa role for me: a guy I have a pronounced fondness for but whom I want nowhere near any position of authority.

Just like Guilfoyle, et al., you gotta give these folks who know things a sinecure so that they don't feel tempted to blab.

Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

How are you still writing this shit www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Vive la France!

The FRENCH don’t play when it comes to a REVOLUTION

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Yeah, that's a weird one, but I trust Ms. Wheeler's intuition.

My timeline is a mix of (1) Brazilians saying to avoid amplifying trolls, fascist supporters, and bad faith actors, along with Americans praising that advice, and (2) Americans screenshotting an attention-seeking US pundit who says it's bad to care about elections in other countries.

if only someone had raised this risk beforehand wapo.st/3W3WdYo

Neutrinos are indeed everywhere. The Neutrinos in question?

Aww, R.I.P. Always just seemed like a sweet guy, somehow. "Where are the nuclear wessels?" is maybe the best line in the best Star Trek movie (rivaled only by "double dumbass on you!").

Yglesias in 1933: "Why do you care? You don't even live in Germany."

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Trump is discovering Democracy from first principles!

All of this. I am not saying anyone's beliefs are invalid, but there is a historical reality which should be acknowledged. This is why I always tend to call the modern practice "Gardnerian Wicca" to make the provenance front and center.

I have this weird West Wing fantasy, where Dems win 51 in the Senate, and Fetterman decides to switch to hand power back to the Republicans, but then Murkowski decides to become an independent caucusing with Dems. To be clear, I'd rather just see 56 Dem senators or so.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

This is the Brazil thread you are looking for

Happy Longest Day Of The Year

Rejoinder: yes it fucking does. By definition it fucking does.

Lula Goes HARD

lol reminder that betting markets are extremely accurate measures of conventional wisdom

After "Jason Goes to Hell," where, AS A PREAMBLE, they quite sensibly bring in overwhelming military force to blow Jason up, I feel like absolutely anything goes.

Dragging this into the light...in light of Brazil.

Muito obrigado, Brasil!

Vai, Lula!

Honestly it would make so much more sense to appoint Viktor Orban as White House press secretary and Nicki Minaj U.N. Secretary-General.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Ms. Oyer knows infinitely more about pardon jurisprudence than I do, but I can't help but feel that this is still a bit on the side of irrational optimism. www.rawstory.com/trump-pardon...

Honestly, a prison cell is a hell of a lot nicer than he deserves.

Check out how easy this is.

Dogs are the best people.

This is seriously concerning. So much rides on this election -- the safety of the Amazon, people's rights, oversight on corruption, whether the US's expanding secret war in latin America will get a new partner -- and local far right leaders look to be trying to shut out voters and steal the election

C'mon, Canada. We can do better than this. Make that yellow line really plunge.
