Too bad Biden is a decent dude. My first official acts would involve lining up 6 of the Supremes and the Orange Goblin against a wall at sunrise, then suspending the federal elections. For starters.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

The charitable explanation is that this was cops who were too lazy to get a warrant. The uncharitable explanation was that they didn't get a warrant because this was a shakedown of the store owner, or the overtime scam where cops try to make a posession arrest at the end of their shift.

"When a cop tells you to do something, you fucking do it," one officer told the shopkeeper. Video shows members of a new mayoral NYPD task force rushing and arresting a shopkeeper for obstruction of justice after he asks to see a court order before letting them inspect the back of his store.

The Texas GOP might recreate the old schemes that segregationist Democrats used to shut out urban voters & let white rural conservatives dominate politics. The Warren Court struck those schemes down, but the Roberts Court seems ready to roll the clock back. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmkr...

Coward of the Countyopen.substack.com I noted in my last post that the Republican Party is engaged in an anti-democratic campaign of minority rule, and the Texas GOP has helpfully provided yet another stark illustration of that fact. The ...

Ppl like this whine about how sensitive OTHER ppl are, but muttered "Why does there have to be a Black in every commercial these days" at dinner, got a withering look from their niece, and then spend the rest of their life building their entire identity around a single moment of vague disapproval.

Saw a grandpa pushing a pram with his daughter and granddaughter unironically wearing this t shirt at a family duck race thing at the river today. It might was well read "boo hoo, people think I'm an arsehole when I'm racist, sexist and homophobic, boo hoo hoo."

An editorial decision has been made about the slant and direction of coverage and they’re going to defend and justify it any way they can. bsky.app/profile/toms...

It might be impossible to ask an executive editor of the New York Times to do any introspection but if you're so sworn to strictly objectively look at nothing but solid facts about the outside world why is an economy with rapid growth and generationally low unemployment "favorable to Trump"?

The reason why the arrests is professors get so much attention is that it strains credulity that they are violent or outside activists. Which in turn undermines the use of those tropes for students.

Cliff notes: Professor Pflugfelder taught at Columbia for 28 yrs. Was just trying to enjoy retirement & bingewatch Shogun. Got interrupted by police who he filmed from his own home/block. Arrested and jailed. One of the may “non students” the cops want us to believe were “outside agitators”

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

This whole thing is funny until you reflect that it shows that cops are liars or morons or both and the media is their placid stenographers

NYPD dep. commish says he “found a book on terrorism” at Columbia. From the Oxford UP website, the book answers the questions, “What is terrorism? Is it war? Is democracy especially vulnerable to terrorist attacks? What can we do to stop it?” This is how you seed a genocide-justifying moral panic.

For years, the right wing justices have seen many things—union organizing, environmental regulations, voting rights—as harbingers of tyranny. But a legal theory that would lead to actual tyranny didn’t sound so bad to them. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

With all the rumors going around about AG Sulzberger performing as a clown and making balloon animals at Chris Rufo's last birthday party, I hope that the NYT can find a reporter to find out the truth.

Look, I’ve heard the rumors too, but at this moment I cannot confirm that Chris Rufo made A.G. Sulzberger dress up like a ventriloquist dummy, ran his arm up the back of his little suit and made him say “I’m a bad widdle boy.” But I can’t disprove them either. I hope Sulzberger can address it all.

I heard Chris Rufo made A.G. Sulzberger pick up his dry cleaning, and when he got to Rufo’s place, Rufo made him get down on all fours and “bark like a little doggy” and Sulzberger did as he was ordered. That’s what I heard anyway.

Rufo is posting dozens of tweets of the NPR CEO, the NYT makes it a story, and Rufo claims victory. They are not falling for his game, they are co-producing it

When it comes to the foul smoothie of "law-n-order" rhetoric on the Right, I can't shake the comments of Bob Jones Jr. after the Kent State shootings, 1970: “those young people should have been shot; and the Country is better off without that kind of young person.”

Does any company still use a mainframe for computing?
