Tagumo Attack!!!

One of the best #LegendsOfTomorrow episodes for many reasons.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Oh by the way: it’s real and it’s SPECTACULAR.

I have no idea what one is either and do not wish to know given apparent irrelevance to anything in my life.

In my mind I’ve lumped them with Johnny Somali as an some idiot jackhole assholing their way around the planet.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

“But how are we gonna pay for it?” should never be taken seriously ever again when we want to pay for universal healthcare or universal basic income or any governmental service that helps millions of people.

VA REDISTRICTING 🧵
1/ Working on a segment for Friday's show. The VA Constitutional amendment passed tonight by a roughly 3-point margin, ~100K votes out of more than 3 million cast.

Effing beautiful Jeremy! Top notch aces.

It requires your boring parents, your boring neighbor, to be capable of incredible violence.

For each guy who'd gladly stomp on a toddler's head, it needs a thousand who simply have no moral qualms about hiring that guy to stomp on toddlers' heads.

A key part of the banality of evil is that fascism trains people who are boringly and completely neurotypical to be incredibly violent, as part of their boring job.

It literally could not possibly work if it could only be done by the tiny fraction of the population with cluster B syndromes.

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.

This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.

The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.

Trump’s Memphis Crime Task Force Arrested Over 800 Immigrants, Records Show. Only 2% of the Arrests Were for Violent Crimes. Businesses closed. Churches emptied. Parents afraid to take kids to school. Advocates say what was supposed to be a crime-fighting effort is keeping a community in fear.

After federal agents began eating at Juan Hernandez’s restaurant, immigrant customers stayed away. Sales went down 40%.

He says he felt angry: “They are looking for us, and then they come to eat here.”

The first epidemic of the 1918 flu in the United States occurred at the military’s Camp Funston, Kansas (later Fort Riley).

Infected soldiers headed to WWI battlefields carried the flu to Europe. Millions died

It’s not *vaccination* that weakens force readiness.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it

Most of the pundit cottage industry is based around obfuscating a very simple truth out of psychological self-protection, that one of America’s two major parties came to be the Demented Psycho Evil-Ass Rape Party from affirmative choices their voters made of their own free will because they liked it

So much was lost when kids were able to check books out of the library by ordering them up from their computer in the dorm instead of having to go into the stacks and encounter books they hadn’t planned on seeing

Look at this chart.

Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.

States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).

I hope Gov. Hochul does.
