Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard
Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?
Non-stop Islamopbohic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.

As someone who plays a villain in a soap opera for the stage, I’m kind of jealous of how instantly hated the Metroid sidekick is ngl.

I think they should add a second goofy sidekick to the new Metroid who is goofy in a different, equally annoying way.

As an American, I am particularly mad that we have no mechanism for recalling the entire government rn. Like we should be able to toss literally everyone out and that use a snap election spare the handful that aren’t monsters.

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.
Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

It will never not annoy me that to plug something into a USB port, you must first fail to do it on one side and then fail to do it on the other before it will work on the original side.

I have never been more proud of myself for angering Lawrence Summers enough that he blocked me on twitter.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you indulged in a hamburger loan last week, today you need pay up.

Party realignment in our times

Time for every establishment Democratic politician to meet their own personal Mamdani.

You don’t get to surrender in a fight YOU WERE WINNING then immediately turn around and claim you will keep fighting. My man, we have eyes. We can see you are still holding a white flag.

For the love of all that is good and pure, RESIGN.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

There’s a certain point where, if you are that bad at something that is ostensibly your career, I have to wonder if it’s intentional.

Time for all of Schumer’s constituents to call and bully him not to cave AGAIN.

@schumer.senate.gov why? Why would you even begin to entertain a deal that doesn’t include healthcare?

I love that I get to wear a member’s only jacket at least once a month for a soap opera for the stage.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Congrats to @iwriteok.bsky.social for thoroughly dragging Douthat in a recording that was ostensibly a few weeks ago, before the latest Douthat idiocy was on display, and then getting to release that episode at the perfect moment.

Anyone in NYC preparing for the ICE invasion would do well defending their community by taking a short trip to DiSO’s. They have a food truck in midtown and I advise loading up something with lots of peppers and horseradish.
🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.
