there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

I love my Longhorns, but I deliberately keep as little personal information on social media as possible.

So my association with UT will have to continue to be a mystery. 🤘🏻

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Matt Stoller & @matthewstoller • 2h UPS had seven months of warning about the de minimis change, but is still taking packages w/o getting required customs info & is making tariff charge errors. Nice use of passive voice though! derek guy @dieworkwear • 2h i apologize using a passive voice. i was not born in london to a wealthy bank executive, sent to an exclusive private prep school in new hampshire, and then studied at harvard before larping as a champion of the people. you have to work with my low upbringing.

Trump properties in Indonesia received special tax status Rebecca Jacobs March 2, 2021 Share: X * f The Indonesian government granted a special tax status to a new development that includes three Trump-branded properties earlier this month, in a move that is likely to financially benefit Donald Trump and appears to have been in the works since long before he left office. This represents yet another entanglement between the Trump brand and a foreign government, just weeks after Trump left the presidency and was freed from constraints on his foreign business deals. As Trump considers seeking the presidency again, deals like this remain enormous conflicts of interest.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

The Traveling THE is one of the weirdest cfb niche fandom things.

But, importantly, Texas stole it from Oklahoma yesterday so we’re THE University of Texas. At least until someone else defeats us and steals it.
