This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.

Might be an unpopular take, but “swatting” sure seems like the state doing to white people on camera what it’s been doing to black people off camera for a long, long time.

Holy shit, my wife just found this on the top of a container of collagen that we just bought from #Costco:
“By opening and using this product, you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions fully set forth at vitalproteins.com/tc, which include a mandatory arbitration agreement. If you do not agree to be bound, please return this product immediately.”

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

@mhoye The subsidy for free or almost free parking on two lanes of almost every publically funded road dwarfs everything given to public transit.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

A good friend of mine notes that while nobody ever _declares_ a Sev0 incident, one of the most notable signals you're in a Sev0 incident is when lawyers who have no reason to be there and nothing to add start joining incident calls so that whatever is said in those calls is now sheltered by attorney-client privilege.

@brouhaha Wait a month, lose something unimportant on your desk, and when you search for it you might find the USB drive.

"Moms for Liberty" is one of the most vicious of the far-right extremist groups.

Trump, seeing kindred souls, gave his usual litany of lies and rancid threats in an appearance at their meeting.

Journalism noted a couple of the most outrageous statements.

And that was that.

The real outrage was that this is now considered somewhat normal.

Yeah, there’s a problem. These are just the U.S. beaches reported in the past week. Sorry, no, that’s not quite right. These are just the breaches reported in the US in the past week *that impacted more than 100k individuals*. #databreach

If women really could "sleep their way to the top," there’d be a hell of a lot more of us up there...

Why are Trumpers at war with public education?

Because they want to DESTROY it.

They want to PRIVATIZE education and turn it into a for-profit industry they control.

They want to turn American education into one big Trump University.

That’s why.

@rbreich Why would you think the Aging Trump would bother to understand anything. He obviously constructs whatever he feels like

Tim Walz was cheered by firefighters.

JD Vance was booed by firefighters.

The same firefighters.

One day apart.

GOP officials in Nebraska shutter voting registration for people with past felony convictions and attempt to reimpose lifetime disenfranchisement. “There’s just so many ways in which the criminal legal system dehumanizes people." boltsmag.org/nebraska-voting-r

People are being enslaved in U.S. prisons. Read their letters. Explore this new online archive. This is a testament to the courageous resilience of the 800,000 incarcerated workers forced to labor and a record of the continuation of slavery in the U.S. letters.endtheexception.com/

@Strandjunker Even if "Christian Republicans' see this, it won't make any difference.

@rbreich It is 'pro life' because they say it is. Come up with another argument, that approach is useless.

Arkansas bans nearly all abortions, calling itself a "pro-life" state.

It has the nation’s highest maternal mortality rate.

One of the highest infant mortality rates.

It's one of two states that cut off Medicaid to mothers 60 days after giving birth.

How is this "pro-life"?
