When they stutter step

Great thread

The common world, a shared reality in which we can test truth, include voices, and hold power to account, was never given to us. It was always built, and it can be built again, but only if we understand what we're building and why we lost it.

You’re gonna get corner goals and you’re gonna like them.

FDRbros…we’re so back

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Oh my god, what a goal from Reed for Fulham. Has to be the goal of the year

Great strike by Odegaard, now pile on a few more

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

FIFA and Trump are perfect for each other. Really less than ideal he’s going to be the main character for the World Cup

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.

forget the myths the media’s created about the media. the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Disordered discourse doesn’t just distort conversatio, it distorts governance. And when institutions internalise unreality, authoritarianism doesn’t need a coup, it walks in through the front door. And in America's case, sells you Tesla's from the White House lawn.

my latest: whether or not this is a constitutional crisis, there ought to be no question that our constitutional order is rotting from the inside out

finally wrote the thing. there's been a lot of doom on here lately--a lot of confusion as to why we haven't simply kicked the bums out. that's not going to happen tomorrow. but it will happen eventually. this is how: www.liberalcurrents.com/roadmap-to-a...

The boars have been very unfair to us. Very unfair. But we will have meat. We will have more meat than you have ever seen. *points at Chris Christie* Chris, come up here. You see how fat he is ? But we are not gonna eat him. Or maybe we will. We'll see.

"Please sir, may I have some authority?"

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Let’s look at government spending by year and as a percent of GDP.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Some context for what that kind of drop looks like. That's the lowest US score since the Civil War + a 1-year drop of that size puts us in the same company as events like Belarus's 1995 coup (though not as bad as Gambia in 1994 or Thailand in 2006) #rstats code here: gist.github.com/andrewheiss/...
