Quite a few of these kids are also somehow occupying adult positions of import within the Republican Party.

you simply do not "have to hand it to" any generation of the young republicans, and if you're a reformed former young republican the appropriate place to discuss your feelings about it is a therapist's office

I know everyone's got the "pretends to be shocked" gif joke here but...it's legitimately kind of shocking to SEE their conversations with each other when they don't think there's anyone around who's gonna call them out or hold them accountable for their words. Disgusting humans.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

The Strib’s Karen Tolkkinen has devoted column after column after column to her stubborn belief that trans kids are destroying opportunities for girls to compete in sports at school.

It’s her weird mission. She’s fucking obsessed.

Anyway, great letter from Max Maher today.
