I love the hater pope
I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.
There is an incredible amount of AI slop emergency safety and DIY stove design on Pinterest and it is going to murder people
If this moves forward, federal workers caught up in a future reduction in force could lose their ability to challenge whether their firing was fair, lawful, or politically motivated.
This matters because these protections exist to keep the civil service fair and based
If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Elmo @elmo · 1h That Bunny was AMAZING. Elmo thinks he should be called Good Bunny! Elmo loves you, Mr. Good Bunny! ❤️🎶🐰 Based Yankee @thebasedyankee You and Bad Bunny should be deported
It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."
😂😂😂
Trump is a disgrace to our country.
The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.
Thinks not confusing at all to the skeptics 😓😓😓
Exactly
Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil.
W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went.
Abolish.
part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not
A bit on the nose
All Democrats should begin referring to the uber-wealthy and GOP as "the Epstein class"
Important reminder:
If you ever share a document or email publicly (especially from a reporter, organization, or official source) do not post it word-for-word or as a raw screenshot.

Currently waiting on a return that was returned to stop being in return limbo
That struck me the most
‘Sudden passing’, the euphemism we get when there should be none.
It’s wild that an employer of the government is forced to have a memorial service for an employee that the government murdered.
Oh I'm stealing that coinage for sure
Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
If weren’t so bloody serious it would almost be hysterical how ineffective and unfit and cowardly Chuck Schumer is at his job.
Remembering when Tuberville held up every single military promotion for like a year, all by himself.
There should be exactly zero votes happening in the senate until every Republican Senator has had a chance to complete their electro-shock therapy
Something I want more people to bear in mind about Linda Tirado's injuries in 2020 is how few colleagues in journalism felt moved to aggressively support her in public after she was shot by police.
People need to learn from that now as journalists go into danger again, because that hurt her a lot.
Amidst the torrent of horrors, this shouldn’t go unnoticed. If you’ve ever questioned whether your phone is listening to you because it knew something you didn’t expect it to, you know how powerful the targeting systems are. And this is very much within congress’ power to stop.
