“And then the king will say to those on his left: ‘depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels, for… I was a stranger, and you did not welcome me.’”

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

This kind of small world thing makes me uncomfortable. Sey is a side character in the niche internal politics of the Christian denomination that I used to be part of. It’s weird seeing him in a “Leopards Eating People’s Faces” crossover episode.

"So the guy called himself a king" *muffled gasps from the panel* "and he sent thousands of soldiers to quarter in my city" *Washington audibly whispers "what the f-"* "and so we, like, formed this system where we'd call up people within a minute or two if they showed up" Paul Revere: hell yes

My most pro-intellectual property take is that every living member of the Tolkien family should be allowed to just beat this guy with a tire iron.

I was out at dinner less than an hour ago and saw one of these ads air after the court’s deadline, in case you were wondering about compliance

This is correct, and it’s not a close call. If he was repeatedly using the N word while demeaning black soldiers, no one to the left of JD Vance would hesitate to say that that’s impeachable.

Something I don’t understand about Thomas and Alito: If I was a devout Catholic and old enough that actuarial tables gave me roughly 10 more years to live, I think I would try at least a little bit to avoid going to Hell.

One of my sharpest points of disagreement with Vance is that I think his kids are as American as mine.

When interacting with machines that imitate sentient beings, I don’t expect everyone to join me on the “vegetarian in Minecraft” end of the spectrum, but deploying made up slurs in a way that intentionally mirrors the use of real world racial slurs is just kind of obviously bad for your soul

I happen to know Byas, and I think he is a very intellectually honest person that reliably approaches discussions in good faith and has reasonably self-consistent, liberal views. I disagree with a few of those positions, but I think some of you should be approaching him with a lot more courtesy.

There are real-life heroes in our midst.

Tbh, the main thing I remember about this discourse is a Vietnamese exchange student getting turned into a national villain for complaining in his school’s student newspaper about how shitty the banh mi in the food court was.

The obvious explanation for this is that Evelyn Normielib would prefer not to vote for a socialist, but she will go scorched earth on any incumbent who refuses to water her fields with the blood of tyrants.

@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social, if only there was a theory of everything that could explain how everything is simultaneously immigration, gender, and race. That would be very useful for making sense of things.

JD Vance has fully embraced the idea that his own children are less American than their white peers. Somehow, that has only earned Vance a silver medal in “being a bad father because of politics.”

MAGA masculinity means declining to publicly criticize the man your daughter has accused of physical abuse, because doing so might prompt a senile 80-year-old man to write mean things about you.

I keep telling you -- the kids are all right.

There will be some evidence that China sought to influence voters via social media or something like that. Trump will lie and say that he found an outcome-determinative number of forged Chinese ballots. His supporters will then claim that he proved the election was stolen.

Genuinely insane that any of the people who support these ghouls claim to believe in eternal damnation.

Just months after finishing radiation, my mom has cancer again, for the ninth time. Ahead lies thousands in bills and months of recovery. We appreciate any and all support, from wishes to cards to donations. Thank you all so much. She's going to beat this again. GoFundMe below🔽

This guy’s bio is more American family man than 95% of the scum in the White House. A guy with a traditional marriage who worked every day with his hands and never had trouble with the law. These people are killing the real Americans

This seems to be because the white nationalists that his administration is crawling with have lost their shit about Spain regularizing undocumented immigrants. They cannot abide decency and humanity even on another continent.

I will never forget how a victim of sexual assault was forced to retraumatize herself in front of the entire nation because people waved away red flag after red flag - the Nazi tattoo, the appearance on a neo-Nazi podcast, the domestic violence - so they could have a manly, unfeminized left.

GG to GDQ

Thought I was gonna get punched in the face for saying “what truths do we hold to be self evident?” at the 4th of July cookout. I didn’t expect liberals to get patriotism in the national divorce, but the new right *really* hates America.

The European mind cannot comprehend this

On the southern tip of Manhattan in Bowling Green park immediately after a reading of the Declaration of Independence the colonists were so incensed by King George III’s crimes that they spontaneously rioted, ripping down his state and had him melted into musket ammunition.

“Before approaching the island of the Cyclopes, Odysseus tells his men that he has to find out some important information: whether the inhabitants are “lawless aggressors,” or people who welcome strangers. Odysseus presents these categories as if they are mutually exclusive…”

Stay mad forever, you fucking loser

It should also be kind of obvious that people who think South African apartheid was good are not people who hate Israel for being an apartheid state.

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

John Roberts will want you to forget everything that happened this week at SCOTUS after he confirms that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means what it says, please do not fall for it

The implication of this "New York Times" headline is that "goy" is simply a slang term used by Generation Z now, no longer attached to antisemitic implications. I think this is not only wrong, but rather dangerous for the newspaper to be printing.

One thing academia should do is shame, shun, and remove the growing number of academics who see a quick path to right-wing favor by publishing right-wing conclusions then later cobbling together drivel & slop to support it. This is the same thing Ilan Wurman did with his birthright "scholarship."

What do Nancy Mace and Riley Gaines have in common?

The really telling part about Jilani & Stoller using "HR Lady" to describe the situation with Platner is: that didn't involve work / HR at all. By "HR Lady," they mean, "any woman who objects to something I think I should be able to do." Every woman who says "no" is the "HR Lady."

When something similar happened to me, the hospital ended up sending my 9 month old daughter to collections instead of me. Statute of limitations has now expired, so it all worked out pretty well in the end.

If you go out, go out like a Scott Pelly, not like a John Cornyn. Fight evil, fight corruption, fight vapid anti-anti-Trumpism, fight the trash people ruining the country and the culture. But hey, congrats to Nick Bilton. I assume he’ll now get an invite to speak at that big FIRE conference.

The Rehnquist/Roberts court on Bivens: We will not let victims of abusive cops sue their abusers under this judge-created doctrine. The same court on qualified immunity: We will hide behind this judge-created doctrine to make sure victims of police abuse cannot sue their abusers.

The whole time Stancil has been getting maligned on here, he’s just been quietly sitting on all of these receipts that prove how ridiculously based he is.
