I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. â¤ď¸ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
Almost as if Trump is doing exactly what he said he would back in October when he quoted Hitler and threatened to unleash the National Guard against the enemy from within. Look at Biden! He's old!
Buried 35 paragraphs in: "Violent crime in Chicago has dropped significantly in the first half of the year, according to official data released by the city. Shootings are down 37% and homicides have dropped by 32% compared to the first half of 2024, while total violent crime dropped by over 22%..."
Trump and Bondi fired actually experienced immigration judges. Now, claiming they don't have enough immigration judges, they're asking military lawyers from DOD to come over on detail and serve as temporary judges. Blatant way to further militarize immigration enforcement. apnews.com/article/pent...
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

DC, PR, and any remaining US Territories, don't forget them!
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: â˘admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states â˘abolish ICE â˘grant citizenship to any immigrant â˘disband the 5th Circuit â˘expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
just call it the schumer/jeffries plan to lose the midterms
Peter Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, is on the "not an asshole to trans people" list, yay
Honestly, this is a not inconsiderable reason people don't like Dems/libs. It's impossible to respect anyone that is this cringingly servile.
Not crazy about this framing. Yes, point out that Trump's justification for NG troops is bullshit, that red states have higher crime rates, and that it's all dangerous posturing. But deploying the military to Memphis would also be destructive and anti-democratic. And crime is dropping everywhere.
Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
Told ya... Cracker Barrell's kerfuffle was ONE activist investor crying on the Twitter machine bc he didn't like the new CEO putting mimosas on the menu or the store refreshes so he pitched a fit but only got the old logo back so he's still mad. Good. www.wsj.com/podcasts/the...
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The âDepartment of Warâ was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trumpâs most performative actions are.
The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.
Literal Nazis: We are very concerned about antisemitism on college campuses Media: We'll keep it on A1 for years Progressives: The President of the United States has vanished, can you look into that? Media: GFY partisan extremists
Generous and gracious. How refreshing.
The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly
Will Santino. #comics #art #cartoon
Still far too high.
Mid cycle gerrymander when they drew the original maps. Every article should have that front and center.
This is a country living in terror of a non-existent crime wave, getting rid of vaccines which saved millions of lives, and indulging in economic policies which we saw fail 100 years ago. It's a deeply disordered place.
I'm gonna say this wish out loud. I would love to draw children's books. #kidlit
"if the left didn't believe in anything, didn't fight for anything, had no moral center and was never strident about it, they'd win a lot more often" yeah, man, i guess that's true. centrists whose only ambition is to take money from donors to create public-private partnerships do win more.
Hard agree! sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/07/comp...
hell i wish brands would post garment dimensions rather than vague sizing charts
Yep a good-faith critique of learning loss would lead to proposals for a massive, New Deal-scale investment in public education. The people pushing the narrative are doing precisely the opposite.
The brown stain on a white tablecloth left by the removed vendor is what really sells it. That is art.
One of the victories of the "AI" industry is that the use of the word "intelligence" for their product has led to people conflating a massive appropriation of intellectual property for an database sorted and outputted with algorithms, with what actually happens in human brain, one artwork at a time.
I think part of school is to give one a general preparation for life, which includes sometimes having to unplug and concentrate fully on something irl. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
as a known purveyor of goofs, it is just hard to be as funny as you'd like to be when you're confronted with a global authoritarian power grab that's specifically targeting people just like you and your loved ones i do my best to be funny but i mean, i get bummed out sometimes
I used to think those would be a good idea (I was, of course, wrong then too), but these days "no tests, but schools should definitely have robust Civics coursework for all of high school" is more my speed. Community civics classes too, voluntary/free of course.
The Tea Party was covered in the press like it was a spontaneous eruption of populist anger, but those protests drew far fewer people than the recent protests against Trump's administration. The "Tea Party" was just a well-funded organized, right wing movement promoted by friendly media outlets.
This is "the one big trick" that the right has mastered. They present their movement as just "the authentic voice of the volk outraged by Democratic overreach," when really what they're doing is just old fashioned political mobilization. Organize a passle of pissed off people & call it a movement.
Thread. Frankly every time you call your political opponents too stupid to breed, devalue them as humans based on perceived physical characteristics, or say there should be tests for voting, you are advocating for eugenicist policies and should fuck off.
Continuation of "The Right has no political agency, it's just the norm" I'd guess. Push all the accountability, agency, and burden of necessity onto the liberal party
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
This is frankly true of the majority of class action settlements, where the vast majority of class members get fuck all in compensation. ASK ME ABOUT THE WALMART GENDERED PAY DISCRIMINATION SUIT
This is a good illustration of whatâs happening
This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it. Don't stop calling.
You better be goddamned careful visiting the southwest right now if you live back east is all I'm saying. Speaking as a transplanted easterner, we got weird shit out here that will kill the fuck out of you.
Not just never seen before, but the stuff that doesn't happen often. Traveled to the southwest and picked up black plague or valley fever and the small town ER back home on the east coast was confused? They could call the CDC and get help. And you'd get treatment, and you'd live.
The number of children expected to die from policies that have already been enacted is unimaginable in isolation, even before factoring in the other concurrent and compounding threats from this new epidemiological landscape.
A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. Itâs long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.
Good morning with good news: Japan, world's 4th largest economy, cut its fossil fuel generated electricity from 73.1% in June 2018 to 54.8% in June 2025. That's 18.3 points drop or 2.6 points/year! It could be near zero FF by 2045. Gas fell from 38.1% to 27.4% Coal fell from 30% to 20% #energysky

If your heritage is a corporate logo, it deserves to be erased.
I used to work in Public Transportation at a municipal level. The overarching view of PT from the public was "mass transit is for poor people and people we don't want driving." So... college students, poor folks, and (begrudgingly in some areas) minorities of all economic strata.
That factors into (political) will, yeah. We *could* do such projects nationally, sure, but we collectively decided that infrastructure is one of those things we talk about but never get around to doing until it's almost too late.
I get that not everybody is an electoralist but it takes some effort to ignore the absolute streak of beatings the GOP is taking in elections right now
Fuck Bond, Jaws is right there
Spain had/has the advantage of being a single national polity vs ~8 sub-states that comprise less than a fifth of the national whole. National planning and coordination vs co-equals hashing it out. To echo others, it's not that it *can't* be done, it's that it's going to be *hard*
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: theyâre all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
Right now in Michigan, weâre in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General â and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.
1. I think it's difficult for people not in the US to appreciate how absolutely non-useful/condescending "use a train" is as advice. Where I live, the nearest passenger train station is 90 miles away, in Cincinnati. However, there is a bus from Dayton to that train station, a mere 43 miles from me.
The CDC quietly did lots of work that keeps everyone safe. RFK ruining it is something that can negatively impact the health of millions of people. Itâs both tragic and scary. www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Out of the first five questions, four are about gender identity. There isn't even a pretense that they're looking for qualified educators. They're interviewing candidates for the bathroom police.

Whatever the accuracy and value of âDemocracy Indicesâ, this is truly remarkable and again shows the striking disconnect between the U.S. legacy media and U.S. political reality.
It's even stupider because no Indian govt can ever go on the record as accepting third party mediation and hope to survive, he basically asked modi to commit political suicide for him and is throwing a tantrum that he didn't
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs arenât laws, the federal government doesnât manage voting in this way, and itâs all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesnât provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.

I think the hardest people to make abide by this are going to be the parents, honestly.
You did your best! You couldn't know, and you've given it longer than a lot of people would have!
I didnât really need one to teach me to love history. They generally wanted me to shut up. HOWEVER, Mr. Templeton was a 8th grade history & social studies who regarded his class as Civics. âYouâll all be able to vote soon. Some of you will serve in the military. You all need to know WHY and HOW.â
And also set up LANS to play StarCraft.
No candidate willing to sacrifice trans folks to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice migrant peoples to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice Indigenous folks to win deserves a single vote. Warrior up, people. You CAN build a better world.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romneyâs presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Gavin is grandstanding on Twitter while punishing trans and houseless Californians. This is what heâd be doing if he wanted to really fight.

Jokes aside, if Biden was AWOL for four days and had nothing on his sked for a holiday weekend: -CNN would permanently show a running clock on the last time Biden was seen in public -Alex Thompson would publish multiple stories a day on Axios -Chris Cillizza would crank out 56 "But His Age" stories
Itâs long past time you all stopped using âCongressâ when you mean âRepublicansâ. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.
these people are the weakest fuckin weaklings in all US history
Once again, Border Patrol tells the press this was a targeted kidnapping, yet they took a man who is legally here & in the immigration process. This shows that it was not a targeted investigation as they claimed. Press must stop printing lies. apnews.com/article/immi...
A public health catastrophe. Not âimmanent,â not âpotential.â This is the catastrophe.
Liberals: âWe could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; âthoughts and prayersâ isnât enough.â Republicans: âOutrage! Disgrace! Theyâre attacking prayer.â Thereâs no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
going back to the founders it would have been recognized as an act of gratitude and patriotism to dedicate one's life to service of their adopted country, but Vance rejects the fundamental ideal of America in favor of crude blood-and-soil Nazism that he learned on the internet five years ago
The tradition is to draw the arrival in front of St Peter. How will cartoonists manage this one when it happens?
The designs can be a little same-y BUT they have a bunch that also can be recognized just by silhouette. Someone did a Bad Apple video that showed that off really well we guessed all the ones we had met correctly youtu.be/xH-cZYxAStQ?...
We've been enjoying it! It's surprisingly well written, coming from a game studio. My gf and I are on season 3!
It is so tiresome to hear all these commentators saying that Trump's actions are "unprecedented" or that we are in "unchartered" waters. They say so to avoid criticize the president, who deserves all the criticism he can get. /1
