We tell people if they work hard and play by the (entirely arbitrary white supremacist) rules, they'll have healthcare and a house with a white picket fence. Instead we have the world's largest prison population, jails used as mental health facilities,

Takes all kinds lol

"We just found out through social media that my aunt — who sells tamales every morning to support her family — was taken by ICE. We never got a call. We had to learn about it from strangers online."

I don't want to be insulting, smug, and snobbish, but on top of everything else, is a fugly ass watch.

I desperately want Americans to want better *for themselves* than tacky licensed gold plated slop. It's so depressing.

It's very weird (and yet clearly effective) that maga keeps smearing DEI as "unconstitutional"

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

This is a perilous moment for democracy in the United States, but I couldn’t be prouder of the Knight Institute’s work right now, and I don’t take for granted that we have the freedom and resources to do it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The third-country removal tracker has been updated to add three Honduran nationals removed to Guatemala yesterday.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

This really captures the nexus of cruelty and corruption at the core of MAGA:

“Daddy…we just want to live like before”
Small words from my kids, yet they fall on my heart like a mountain.

I'm trying to provide my family with the simplest of needs.. but sometimes I feel the weight is too heavy to carry alone.💔

Your support can ease this burden.🙏

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.

His ankles say otherwise

There's a major book to be written about the manner in which Elon Musk bucked all health and safety regulation and blocked enforcement action through corruption and legerdemain. This is the essential fact behind his political engagement in 2024, and his maneuvering into DOGE.

I think a lot about how Michelle Obama remarked on regularly being in rooms with the most powerful and wealthy people in the world and her chief takeaway was that they're just not that smart

This is something Dale Gribble would say if he somehow stumbled into a few billion dollars. Just totally indistinguishable from 90s conspiracy forum posting

"To put it bluntly, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating."

billionaire brain rot is WILD

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

"Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: 'It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.'"

So he thinks we're all idiots, huh?

People paid $200 a ticket to listen to Peter Thiel do bog issue antisemitism for four lectures about his belief in the antichrist.

Lots of fools wishing to be relieved of their money, I guess.
