My piece is up on Commonplace! If you are still teaching students that the 3/5 clause counted the enslaved as "three-fifths of a person," time to update those lecture notes! commonplace.online/article/not-...

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

"big guys, great asses, tears in their eyes "sir...sir" they pleaded "please take this cognitive test again sir" and what am i going to do refuse have u seen their asses"

FWIW, most MAGA people probably believe Amy Acton’s stepfather raped her. But they think being a rape victim Is disqualifying. I get this from my family. They believe I was raped in college. They just use that as their reason to call me crazy and say my judgment is untrustworthy.

VEEP's basic thesis that people with zero principles are actually shitty at politics vindicated IRL

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

As @tressiemcphd.bsky.social shares, being surrounded by like-minded people ready to act is exactly what this moment needs! We are so excited to head to her home state of North Carolina for #FacingRace26. Join us November 12–14 in Raleigh, NC, as we move from philosophizing to doing.

As always with Trump, it's not clear whether this is evidence of Trump's obvious dementia or his stupidity.

Whatever issue you have with Hillary Clinton, there is no question we would be better off today had we elected her president.

Nobody had a deadlier first step than Jordan, and no one had the psychological edge over the entire League like Jordan. Everyone knew he was the best player, including everyone who guarded him. So many of these plays MJ won before they began. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwU9...

This is Tommy. Tommy got tuned the fuck up.

This is how you handle this question. Absolute master class.

Obviously, there's no point in trying to refute this with evidence, because no one who believes this batshit crazy bullshit would be convinced by evidence. You call the people who believe this stupid to their face. You mock them. Trump is delusional. He has lost his mind.

Sanest white dude in the 19th Century U.S.

I think the @washingtonpost.com got the wrong link here

Kinda feel like Elon Musk is proving Marx right when he wrote: "Each step in the development of the bourgeoisie was accompanied by a corresponding political advance of that class...the bourgeoisie has at last...conquered for itself, in the modern representative state, exclusive political sway."

If the abject failure of an incompetent person who only got the job because she's white and looks like every other woman the president is attracted to doesn't make the case for DEI, I don't know what to tell you.

I can't imagine how someone with her reading ability didn't pass the bar exam

Whenever @atrupar.com posts these clips I find myself looking to see if Trump's brains are literally leaking out of his ears.

This illustrates how many people (mis)understand 1A, as a license for the purveyor of the stupidest, most vile, or most partisan view to be heard without being challenged or dismissed. If we're not granting the biggest fool the biggest platform, we're oppressing them. Needless to say, it's BS.

hi I’m your new press secretary and this is my first time reading words out loud www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

FWIW I also attempted to add some historical context to the issue of "polarization" and "compromise" in this piece. time.com/7326230/poli...

Congratulations to all the winners!

I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Vote early if you can.

Nobody deserves these kind of threats, even Marjorie Taylor Greene. Also, Greene allied with Trump in the first place because she didn't care if he behaved this way toward others. She is a selfish coward and a fool, and this only further proves it.

I'm convinced that the essential paradox of the tech oligarchy is that they know they have to relate to other people and at least try to pitch their ideas to the public but they suck at it because they also think they're better than everyone else.
