New I Hate Bill Maher episode. @veradrew22.bsky.social fills in for me while I'm helping to care for my ungrateful newborn: she and @loosemeat.bsky.social talk about Real Time s9e6, which features a very special interview guest who creates a very awkward moment.

A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters struggling to breathe.

Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using "less lethal" weapons in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

The whole "focus on affordability" thing would also be less infuriating if Dems in leadership positions had a more specific way of focusing on affordability than "we need to make America affordable again"
Right now I care about punishing the people attacking my city more than I care about healthcare policy.

… and I have probably published fifty essays on Medicaid and related programs over the years.

Pretty rich for anybody from an English speaking country to say this shit. Carney is currently doing everything in his power to speed up the world's climate apocalypse. Starmer is governing like he is Reform's number one fan. At least there are Americans fighting back against their government.
Usians don't get it, mired in their miasma of execeptionalist thinking: we will never trust you again, with anything, ever. It'll take generations for your position in the world to recover. Your fascist spasm--even if you recover from it today or next year--will be a drag on your nation for decades.
Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Life in Minnesota is getting invited to the house of a lady who you met in a neighborhood signal chat because she said she needed a dozen whistles and then talking for an hour in her kitchen about how to develop an anti-ICE patrol for her kid’s fucking preschool.
