Miami pro hac Vice

Trying to teach this kid right

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

This whole time I'd been thinking Flavio's first name was Nepo

Lula Goes HARD

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

See, to me climate change is a great example of where a blind faith in incremental change getting us where we need to be has been a disaster. It's been 30 years since the science was settled, and we've never gotten past hopeful half measures that might lead to real action some day.

Josh Turek opening ad: I grew up poor in a wheelchair so I know what it’s like to be a kid who feels like they were born wrong Josh Turek closing campaign ad: some kids should feel like they were born wrong

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

it's not every day a man who's genuinely visibly marginalized gets up on the tv and says "i actually deserved a lot worse bullying in both childhood and adulthood" but that's a white jock for you

Popularism has been a total failure. It does not work. Since it became the unquestioned gospel creed of Democratic elites in the latter half of Obama II, they have only had victories after titanic Republican screwups. They were not earned by Democrats. They were cries for help from the public.

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

…the network just had Acton “denouncing” the charges but made no mention of the documents which back up her version of events, and it also just said she’s “estranged” from her mom, but not that they haven’t seen each other in 48 years or that she has her own issues.

It's been woefully underreported that the US has funded most or all of Israel's wars since 7 Oct.

also, these are automated tickets, meaning the NYPD doesn't have the discretion to ignore this sociopathic driving behavior. So: imagine what *other* sociopathic murderous driving is on the increase and isn't being addressed, because the cops don't care or see it as a problem!

Minnesota law enforcement officials say the federal government is again refusing to share evidence from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge.

The number of drivers who have racked up 16 or more speed camera tickets in a one-year period is spiking, right as legislation to slow them down comes up for a vote. hellgatenyc.com/superspeeder...

I know y'all want Jack Smith running DOJ, but I want to see him run the FBI for a few years. (Okay, doesn't have to be him but def needs to be someone like him.)

A video just resurfaced of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a victim of sexual abuse. He’s a real piece of shit. And every Republican who’s still backing him should have to answer for it.

The "Ukraine skeptical" Irish are the weirdest to me. What do you mean you're AGAINST a country trying to resist it's larger eastern neighbor, who had previously mismanaged a massive famine devastating said country, and who claim that they're the same due to a partially shared language

Per Capita Meat Consumption in the U.S., 1960-2025. It looks as though chicken has been an addition rather than a replacement.

I'm not 100% on board with Acton after her trans bashing, but cutting off her terrible mom shows good judgement

This kinda feels like the death rattles of American evangelicalism. Seriously, who wants to join the openly-asshole religion.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

the poverty of these peoples imaginations. they made something that can do some things and kind of also sucks a lot. they have to dream up reasons as to why this thing should and will make them trillionaires. and this is what they come up with. you can slave away in a factory in the matrix

pretty wild how all the actual sabotage of the democratic party is coming from the centrists and nobody outside the left wants to acknowledge that.

Since we're talking about Jan Crawford's bigoted comment about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, here's a post I did about how she helped Bill Barr impugn the Russian investigation. emptywheel.net/2019/05/31/b...

lol

And every single person who told Tim Walz to stop the "weird Donald" stuff in 2024 needs to be banned from politics for at least ten years

too good not to post even though it isn't kirkmas

#17Octubre Marseilles /// Morts aux vaches

Lens swap.

Fijne herfst! Dutch food isn't that interesting, but man oh man is it good comfort food

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

I had two kids in the NICU which produced a $10k bill because two insurers both said "not me!" for 36 hours of it. I fixed it by applying the full scope of my skills as civil litigation attorney. It would've cost >$10k to hire me to do it; as a policy matter, I consider that wholly unacceptable.

So Maralago Fats totally misses the Beast and instead goes for a dementia stroll while the secret service scurries around him to redirect him back to the car. He’s basically little more than a barely walking , talking Trump steak.

I'm convinced Scholten is actively lying about DSA to gin up hatred She specifically said DSA "hasn't responded", when their response was already in print the day before:

I can’t imagine someone like my mom having to navigate systems like this. It’s not all designed to discourage people from getting care, but the effect of it will be the same. People will give up, people will die, but line go up.
