RIP Brooklyn Vegan. Absolutely bewildering. Thinking of all the great people there and the unparalleled music coverage they’ve done over the years. Utterly unceremonious and moronic actions by Veeps.

Because some are asking... "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a carve out for ambassadors, tribal nations outside of US jurisdiction and invading armies. It decidedly does not apply to children of foreign-born parents (4/2)

That this SCOTUS used it to justify striking affirmative action bc it discriminated against WHITE people and now thinks their might be a colorable argument about the birthright part shows only that they are confused about whether the good team won the Civil War. (2/2)

The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/2)

Was enjoyable to flush the white trash out today to block and remove them at least on this site. I didn't celebrate the 4th this year because I personally feel we're not the home of the free. We lose constitutional rights daily. If you're a bigot please unfollow me. Peace out

Something I’d love, love, love to see happen: Every Big East coach — and maybe even every college basketball coach period — needs to bring out the loudest sweater they own and wear it on the sidelines for their next game in honor of the great Lou Carnesecca.

Trump is dismantling the department of education for 4 reasons:
1. Uneducated people vote for republicans
2. To allow red states to white wash history
3. To funnel tax dollars into private for-profit Christian schools that promote the patriarchy
4. Project 2025 said to do it

“If you base what the post game reaction on Matt Rhule’s post game comments, I don’t think he has an explanation.
He had no answers. He said I have to go back and look at what exactly happened.
He went in thinking his team is prepared and was going to play well.
Clearly they didn’t do either of those.
This was a mismatch in every facet and the very phase. From head coach on down to the last player who saw the field in this game.
I know Indiana is really good…but the gap shouldn’t be what it was today. For a Nebraska team that has as much talent, at least on paper that we assume that it has, it shouldn’t be a 49-point deficit.”

The @nytimes has a live blog about Trump’s speech in Latrobe but it doesn’t even mention him talking about Arnold Palmer’s dick. Can you imagine the coverage if Biden said shit like that? It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the NYT is actively working to help Trump.

I just heard a reporter say Trump put Harris "On the defensive".
I guess they were watching a different press conference from me.
"Abortion isn't an issue"?
WTF.

Tim Walz served honorably and well.
Again, this is strategic: team Trump needs us tied up in debates over pre-retirement conditional rank promotions because they are desperate NOT to discuss their (unpopular) policies, like tax cuts for the rich and banning access to abortion.

Q: Would you direct your FDA to revoke access to the abortion medication Mifepristone?
Trump: You could do things... absolutely. Those things are pretty open

March 1933 The Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state – at Minneapolis, MN
