I think part of why this is breaking thru, I think, in ways that u don’t see other trump comments (even when he’s saying things like we need to cleanse the hills of Somali bloodlines) do not is because it’s just so uniquely gross and depraved. Normal people who aren’t liberals can tell that Reiner…

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?

Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

Gregory Bovino is back in Chicago, and so is the violence.

Trump sending him here is not about safety. It’s about fear and force. We won’t give in.

In Congress, I’ll vote to abolish ICE.

It is pretty interesting how both elected officials and the media generally refuse to act like reality is reality, mostly because the people whose opinions they value are in the 17%
This is extremely important

👇 "'Look how overwrought you were,' they’ll say. 'You spent a decade telling us that Trump was trying to overturn democracy. But the fact that we don’t live in a dictatorship proves that Trump was normal and that we should never listen to you hysterics.' Our success will be used to discredit us." 👇
You can take this to the bank:

"If we get lucky enough save democracy, then the people who did this to America—the people who excused, and covered, and enabled Trump’s autocratic attempt—will take it as proof that Trump was never a real danger to begin with."

Vice President JD Vance doesn't deny White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' claim that he is a conspiracy theorist:

"Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true."

the White Guys Having A Hard Time story is darkly funny because it's full of quotes like these and zero self-awareness.

I can't help but think about the editor I had who, as a fellow PoC, told me he was intentionally harder on me than others because as PoC, we had to be 2x as good as everyone else

John Hickenlooper is on this list and I’ll be happy to leave him a message that this is one of the reasons among many that I will be supporting Julie Gonzales in the primaries.
I called both Gillbrand's and Schumer's office today and told the staffer who'll eventually listen to the machine that they have a moral responsibility to push back within their office against this anti-trans wickedness.

I'm going to point out this is from an ACLU summary in 2011 about the aftermath of an anti-immigrant bill the Alabama had passed.

They knew this would happen. They didn't care. And that includes the farmers who voted for this shit.
