JD (Jizz Divan) Vance

I wonder what fraction of America will first become aware of JD Vance through couchfucking. he was only at like 70% name recognition after the RNC

I realize there is some mystery implied in a “dining in the dark” experience, but “Surprise Meat” is not how I would advise reeling in the customer

You're not free if the cops can shoot you with impunity on a regular basis. I'm sorry but people really must come to terms with this.

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

We have to let this court dismantle the country for a generation. The options to fix it beyond "Mebbe they'll die?" are considered unserious by brilliant minds like Dick Durbin.

Outside the NLRB, hard to think of a part of the federal government that's seen as drastic a change for the better as Interior under Deb Haaland

Been out for a bit, but noticed that the 2023 data on BLM oil and gas leasing came out today. Biden is keeping it far lower than prior administrations. It's far easier to stop drilling by not leasing than through any kind of action once a lease is issued & a property right created.

Here's what NYC is losing because Hochul killed congestion pricing. Look at all those ADA accessibility upgrades!

There’s a good lesson to learn here about also calling your reps for the programs you like instead of just the ones you don’t like, but now’s not the time for that. Hochul’s phone lines opened five minutes ago and it’s time to call again. (518) 474-8390 is the number to let her know this sucks.

Tacking to the center makes sense when it's on an issue where you were already seen as ambivalent or departing from your party consensus, delaying a program you were hyping 3 weeks ago makes voters think that you have no spine.

Deeply sick of this shit and never going to shut up about it. People will die because of this retrenchment. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Putting the venerable flask next to this bullshit is an insult to the memory of Emil Erlenmeyer. Flasks are useful! You can swish colorful liquids around in them! They do not lie to you!

the Gang of Six runs the country until someone stops them.

The court has erased the VRA by judicial fiat. In reality one of the biggest victories of the civil rights era has been erased because a few justices just went “we don’t need this because it harms my racism party”

Nominate and confirm a new justice every week until Alito steps down

"An upside-down flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over Justice Alito's front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case."

Cool that this guy gets to give his pal another bite at the apple; we are a very healthy country with a very bright future not likely to be overrun with seditionists

Jesse is right. Let me add a complementary point: The man whose murderer Abbott pardoned was killed as he participated in a BLM protest while white. It’s almost as if Texas Republicans just sent a message re: the price of showing solidarity — a warning to white Texans against acting [ahem] “woke.”

lotsa news today, but this feels like the biggest: the governor of texas declaring once and for all that extrajudicial murder of ideological enemies is acceptable

Once again, DC statehood now

As part of an indefinite suspension, Columbia’s administration effectively evicted a student from her housing in the middle of the night after her arrest for leading a peaceful protest on campus, affording her only 15 minutes to pack her room. Makes a mockery of their homilies about student safety.
