Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.
Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.
Absolutely pathetic behavior. We deserve better.
We do a big Friendsgiving every year on Black Friday and the only two rules have been 1: dress as comfortable as you can and 2: no turkey.previous themes have been: prime roast, saffron crusted lamb, surf and turf, “food a hobbit would eat,” and “pies: sweet and savory.” This year: French
Most of the hearing was routine. At one point, however, Straw's attorney, Christopher Parente, lodged a largely symbolic objection over his client having to turn in his passport, calling him a "boring suburban dad" and saying his whole reason for going to the protest in the first place included objecting to the government checking people's passports and papers. Parente said it wasn't fair for Straw "to sit here now and ask him to turn his passport over to the government for no reason other than they think they can," adding that "landscapers arrested by ICE cannot stand up to the government." "Mr. Straw can, and your Honor can, too," Parente said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg said the passport was about bond conditions, not about what ICE is doing on the streets, and that defendants have turned in their passports "in every case I've had for 19 years." After McShain decided Straw did not have to turn in his passport, Mecklenburg said she'd drop the requirement for all defendants to ensure Straw was not receiving special treatment.
I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time.
for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...
Absolutely - Chicago is not fucking around. I’m in Roger’s Park and whistles are everywhere, ice shows up and the whistles go and folks roll out. So proud of my city.
I agree with everything you’re saying here, but my lazy ass only gave you a like because of the genius of phő pas. Never change.

This is a dead on take on Ezra Klein and the failure of many pundits.
For the record, I would watch the hell outta that.
Fuck yeah I chipped in.
I’ve read this surgery description 20 times and I still feel like I’m having a stroke.
You just don’t have his galaxy brain. You don’t have to worry about *getting *any diseases, if you always *have* all diseases.
Here’s hoping we can all party soon. Really looking forward to seeing Peter Thiel releasing bad AI Trump videos to try and weekend at Bernie’s his dead ass for as long as they can.
Please bees, save my timeline
The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social
A lot of whiny ass Gavin Newsom defenders responded to this, but let me just say as a Chicagoan that Pritzker is fucking killing it. So weird to have a billionaire be my favorite politician, but the guy is smart, kind, and a fighter.
This is one of the best fuck-eulogies I’ve ever seen.
Do not give the Gestapo a moment's peace. Do not let them believe for a second they will ever be respected, trusted, or seen as anything but invaders.
The thing I fall back on is simple:
“You were taught cotton was the cash crop of the south. You were lied to. The cash crop of the south was human beings - particularly in the upper south. Slave owners forcibly bred human beings and then sold them for a profit. Sometimes their very own children.”
Sure why not
I initially read that as “squires” so I would guess your cat sleeps on defeat foes.
this is accurate. Saying the court is corrupt isn’t just a slogan or rallying cry. It’s a critical statement, marker-setting of where we are. A court acting in this fashion has no legitimacy. Acting under its dictates is a purely pragmatic and contingent decision.

Somehow all answers become opinions unless everyone, no matter how ignorant, compromised, factually incorrect, or stupid agrees. It’s really fucking depressing.
