This is why you don’t need to bend over backwards to appeal to these fuckers the moment they turn on Trump.
They aren’t joining your camp, they’re just going to drop out of caring about politics again

What I now realize is at that moment, right then and there, I was given a gift. The gift was a new perspective on life, health, and what cycling meant to me. The old "racer guy" was dead. A fresh new casual biker had been born, someone who could find gratitude in the most mundane of pedal strokes 5/

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

lots of folks doing great work in this area full-time, but I'll just point out that, if you're familiar with the classic "ethnic outbidding" effect, we have evidence that this sort of thing happens *within* movements, as competition drives fragmentation, identity contraction, and radicalization
I do think a lot of people are underestimating the risks of the GOP civil war. I remember thinking in 2015/16 that Trump moving the the GOP further to the right was going to make it easier for Dems to win, and boy was I wrong there. The Outright Antisemitism wing beating MAGA could be Real Bad.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Having flashbacks to profs (who I thankfully DID NOT work closely with) describing dating students as a right, a perk of the job, and/or something that should not be restricted during my PhD at the Harvard of the North.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Anytime somebody tries to rehabilitate the image of George W Bush you have to remember that the seeds for literally ALL this shit were planting in his administration
As someone who was alive, and adult, in the time of its founding, I will never get over how the word "Homeland", which in my 20 years in this country before then I had never heard *anyone* ever use to describe this country, all of a sudden was like "a thing".
