As with everything, it's worse under the Trump administration. They can find anyone, anywhere, and have an algorithm that picks out people to target.

Someone found an mp3 of the creepy "Jailbait" song Olivia Nuzzi released when she was 16 🫣

I have no idea how to interpret this. Maybe we'll get a bonus GOP Speaker ousting and subsequent drama.
WATCH: Speaker Johnson says he’s “deeply disappointed” the senate passed a bill he voted for 🤔

@rokhanna.bsky.social : “Johnson looks frazzled. He’s lost it, attacking a bill the survivors wanted without talking to them… that he voted for. He has lost the confidence of half his caucus.”

Omg it's so baaaaad 😂😂😂

I'm all about dropping occasional weird paragraphs with meter and a rhyme scheme into prose, but you have to know how those things work, and chat, this ain't it.

It's so broken up that she may not have done it on purpose and this is a zero draft survivor but who knows.

I regret to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi's book appears to be Perfect

Every single post in this thread made me angrier and angrier.

THIS DESCRIBES TEXAS.

If he spent a week in Texas shadowing any university professor, every item on this list would be checked off.

Ask Thomas Alter, Melissa McCoul, and anyone facing A&M's new approval process before discussing race.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Exactly. This is a LET THEM FIGHT moment, where we try to get everyone else out of the way, then watch the show.
If they want to come in, treat them like stray cats; quarantine them in the bathroom until they're vaccinated and confirmed negative for the really bad contagious stuff.
they can come into the tent when they admit they were wrong and change their views

we all joke about Woke Bill Kristol but he is for the most part the perfect example - he has, legitimately, become much more progressive

you can’t bring in people who are mad he’s not delivering on horrible shit

I am increasingly annoyed that the only genuinely new thing in iOS 26 was a conscious decision to make iPhones less accessible to people with any level of visual impairment. This was also an act of class war against aging millenials who can't afford Lasik.

I am so curious about how exactly the conversation went where they talked Trump out invading Greenland.

I am all about welcoming people who have grown out of whatever fucked up racist/sexist/phobic place they were in, but that does NOT make such people electable candidates for office.
I have not seen a single defence of Platner based in good he's done, only a demand for forgiveness of a drunk Marine.
Ok so clearly some folks here are upset that I interviewed Graham Platner.

I think it’s important to explain what the Find Out Podcast is, and how we were born.

In short - our goal is to move men to the left. In order to do that - we have to welcome folks who have changed over time.

God help us, the Devil just freed Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Trump says he is "withdrawing my support and Endorsement" of Marjorie Taylor Greene after she has made several high-profile breaks with the current state of the GOP on things like Epstein files, the government shutdown and foreign policy -- and received positive attention from it.

My FB feed puked up a White House post of the JD Vance quote blaming the housing crisis on "30 million immigrants." The one he's being roasted over, with the sort of dressing that signals serious or profound. Black background, high saturation picture.
But the proportions are off and it looks stupid.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

Finding a random pill on the floor after friends leave:
Me in my early 20s: huh, no one acted that stoned.
Me in my 40s: oh God, this is a blood pressure med. Did someone miss their BP med? Is this expensive?!?(Immediately texts everyone)

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.

-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

A year and a half ago I was a chronically depressed house wife and increasingly weird hermit. I scraped myself up off of the floor for the presidential race because I had to try.
Last month 2000 people joined our suburban No Kings 2, that I helped organize.

If I can do something, you can too.

Someone please make the flashy explainer video for why Justice Jackson granted a temporary stay on the court order to the Trump admin to immediately pay SNAP benefits, preferably with an animated flow chart and a jaded puppet so it will go viral enough for everyone to chill.
