The bananact of killing

the thing that will revive younger people's investment in politics is millennials and zoomers becoming the face of it, it's really that simple.

it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth

Oakland County Democrat here; Jan Reynolds is real and we should put her in charge of everything

ROMEO, BAKER M. @BakerMikeRomeo • 2h why would the pope care about your book Rod Dreher @roddreher • 1h Because it was widely denounced by Antonio Spadaro, SJ, and others as "anti-Francis" (which it's not, but that was the line in Civilta Cattolica, which Francis reads and has to approve before publication). And Francis's people called around Italy before my book tour asking... ROMEO, BAKER M. @BakerMikeRomeo Replying to @roddreher ok so here's the thing: he's the pope, right and you're explaining to a cartoon rabbit on the internet why you're important enough that the pope should know who you are

Since we’re all making fun of Rod Dreher, I think about this at least once a week

Yeah no this nonsense is getting my woke Catholic ass to mass for the first time in [redacted]

Soccer and hockey are the two most boring sports to watch.

There’s been a push by right wing influencers for the last decade to argue that young people shouldn’t go to college, that it isn’t “worth it” and I can’t help but see that as them recognizing that they need a bunch of angry young men with no future to be relevant

It's too late; I've already depicted myself as the confident, unbothered Dusty May and you as the braying, whiny state fans

Promise I'm not just saying this as a Umich fan, but Columbus is offensively boring the one time I was there

I don't believe in "Connecticut". Fake state invented for Gilmore Girls

Go blue baby. That's just my opinion

Aday "The Big Paella" Mara

This remake of High School Musical sucks

If the next Dem trifecta doesn't fix our structural info environment issues, get ready for the next Dem president to become *less* popular than Trunp and for the 2030 midterms to make 2010 look like 2022

Good for Biss and fuck the antisemites who decided he must be pro Israel because he’s Jewish.

I will never understand why Amercians buy bigger and bigger trucks every year when science already discovered the 2006 Honda Civic, the greatest car of all time

Checking in from the No Kings rally in Troy, Michigan. Easily the biggest one so far, and last year's was then the largest demonstration in Troy's history. I guess people hate this Trump guy! #NoKings

Get Kershaw off my TV man

the absolute litmus test for every democratic primary needs to be “do you support Supreme Court reform that would replace the current illegitimate majority with a liberal majority, and do you support filibuster reform to get us there”

Kash Patel in the U.S. locker room solemnly asking if anyone has seen Nancy Guthrie.

Indivisible baby what is you doing

An inappropriate relationship at Ohio State?
*shakes head*
No, it's THE inappropriate relationship

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society.

Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Two simultaneous things going on 1) administration trying to consolidate an authoritarian regime, and 2) the normal weight of political gravity dragging down the administration. Fight to a draw on #1 and let thermostatic politics do its work.

Conservative politics: society's most privileged & powerful, scared of their own shadows, imagining themselves victims, compensating for their insecurities by heaping abuse on society's weakest & most marginalized, and fashioning themselves heroes for doing it.

It's repulsive.

Easier to occupy what you consider your rightful place atop society if you violently engineer said society to keep all the hardworking/smart people out of it

Noting Helen Andrews' recent hissy fit over academically talented Asian Americans, you can't untie this from MAGA's own (accurate!) insecurities over their intellect, competence, diligence, etc.
