Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Caught up today with my friend in Birmingham, who tells me everyone there is sick to death of Trump.
That's Birmingham Alabama, folks. Yes, I know they tilt blue and they have a great young mayor, but I am taking it as a sign.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

I’m also just going to say that no one who knows anything about document review would do this even accidentally. There are protocols. You only do this if you are stupid, inexperienced; or intentionally trying to hide something, and there are still plenty in the SDNY who are not the first two.

Trump says the people who “thought Epstein was the greatest guy on earth, only to drop him like a dog when things got too HOT” are “sleazebags.”
Trump is criticizing people who…stopped hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein?

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I do not think it's a coincidence that the Court is dipping their toes into ruling against Trump as his popularity is collapsing. I think they are a fundamentally political body who follows the lead of politics and, in the case of the majority at the moment, whatever Fox News is saying

Stephen Miller finds it impossible for anyone else to consider immigrants as human beings so he's happy to go on air and say "would those journalists host the people we deported for a night to keep them out of torture prison?" as though getting people out wasn't exactly the point of the reporting.
