Uh… what the fuck?!?

I’m just exhausted with all of this. I don’t want to have to spend time thinking about whether I’ve granted an irrevocable license for someone to take all of my course materials and do whatever they want with them, especially given there’s basically no way around using canvas.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

ICE is stockpiling weapons. It’s disappeared 170+ citizens. It’s gassed cops, arrested vets and shot priests in the head. It’s the personal army of a rogue POTUS—a fascist ex-con and rapist—and it’s masked, armed, nameless, faceless and insignia-less. It’s intended use is exactly what we fear it is.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

All blue states. What a surprise. I guess all we can do is vote out every single Republican candidate for every office in those states since none of them will speak up or do anything. And the Appropriations Chair Susan Collins.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I seem to remember that there was a political movement in the US that was powered by resentment over bailouts and an opposition to sending “our money” to other countries. Blanking on the name right now, but it’ll come to me.

You don’t even have to like Omar at all to see that this is some of the most wildly inappropriate and dangerous language imaginable for a member of congress to use about a colleague; it would legitimately be grounds for expulsion in a remotely functional political system

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden in 2023.
National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.

Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.
Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking.

“But I am also going to offer some context and some nuance about the death of George Floyd that no one dares to say out loud, which is that this guy was a scumbag.” -Charlie Kirk
Fox News' Marc Thiessen, without a hint of irony: "Imagine if – we didn’t see this on the right, but imagine if after the George Floyd killing, people had gone on in saying he was a POS and that I’m glad he's dead... do you think anybody would have employed them ever again?!"

Broadcasting shackles isn’t deterrence; it’s a costly signal—to the world—that talent isn’t welcome. That’s terrible branding for a country competing for people and capital. If you want prosperity, you attract it, you don’t humiliate it.

The only indication on the signs pointing to the truth is smaller text noting the project was “funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.”
