Opinion | After months of resistance, Mike Johnson has allowed a vote on the most basic assistance to Ukraine. I call on my fellow columnists to now exalt him with our highest praise, reserved only for conservative Republicans who occasionally side with Democrats. Yes, I’m…
The real story here is that Congress is so broken that it could pass so many bills with 75% majorities but it doesn't outside of exceptional circumstances because 15 literal dumbfucks who got elected actually control the House.

There is no Constitutional provision against persistently farting in a courtroom, so any mockery of Trump is unrooted in history and tradition—and may be grounds to drop the charges entirely. by Jonathan Turley
Said - again.
Yes it’s called the Friday prayer. I have led it countless times on this campus. There are these things enshrined in our Constitution called freedom of assembly and religion. I know you are tempted to attack them as they do in Occupied East Jerusalem, but this is New York City.

If a Muslim professor at @Columbia shared a video of Jews praying and claimed it was an inherent danger, how would the administration react? What would be the response in the media? What would politicians say?

One thing about this UAW victory--this campaign is not about any one strategy. It combined both traditional union strategies with reformist union strategies. But the key has been the workers themselves who want to be organized.
🚨 BREAKING: UNION YES! 🎉 4000+ CHATTANOOGA VW workers just voted overwhelmingly to join the @UAW and unionize — despite pressure from @GovBillLee @CSexton25 and other powerful state Republicans pressuring them not to. #UnionStrong 💪🏽
HUGE NEWS: Workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee have voted to unionize, according to the UAW. They are the 1st Southern auto factory to vote to unionize since the 1940s. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
Gotta sleep here, but I have to say this is the best day fo unions in such a long time. The Amazon Labor Union Chris Smalls stuff was complete cult of personality bullshit. The UAW in Chattanooga? This is how you rebuild the American labor movement. Do. The. Fucking. Work.
A HUGE UNION BREAKTHROUGH IN THE SOUTH >> The UAW has declared victory at VW, with the vote total at 2,578 to 933 (a huge 73% to 27%) This will certainly help the UAW win at Mercedes next month In this vote, the VW workers told the South's GOP, anti-union governors to shove off
I cannot overstate how important this is. Unions have looked to organize the South for a century. They never really succeeded. Oh, here and there, they'd win something. But the mainstream of southern factories? No. This is HUGE. A gigantic victory for the UAW!!!!!

Watching history tonight in Chattanooga, as Volkswagen workers voted in a landslide to join the @UAW. Despite pressure from Gov. Lee, this is the first auto plant in the South to unionize since the 1940s. This incredible victory for labor will transform Tennessee and the South!
Shawn Fain, president of the @UAW, just spoke to the victorious Tennessee VW workers: "The talking heads and the pundits said to me repeatedly before we announced this campaign, you can't win in the South, and Southern workers aren't ready for it." Next up, Mercedes in Alabama.
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
And if we don't re-elect Biden, it all turns to dust. Say what you will about Biden, his NLRB totally slaps. Trump appointed Antonin Scalia's idiot son as Secretary of Labor. If you claim to care about workers, you have to vote Biden.

If Taylor Swift has no haters I'm dead but this review - which I should love for how hard it drags some truly shitty songwriting by a shitty human being - starts this way and gets even more offensive to poets, particularly women (Rupi Kaur excepted, as that's a fair cop.)
#TaylorSwift is the most famous musician—and, arguably, person—on Earth, but on ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ she can’t help but infantilize the very people who buy into her music and drive her successes upwards in the first place. Read our review ↓ pastemagazine.com/music/taylor-s…
also @PasteMagazine I see you ignoring the verse about wanting to live in the 1830s and the omission says a bunch. Ted Hughes drove Sylvia Plath to suicide and rode her coattails in death to fame, and you make her suicide your witty lede? Fuck you so hard.
🚨 BREAKING: UNION YES! 🎉 4000+ CHATTANOOGA VW workers just voted overwhelmingly to join the @UAW and unionize — despite pressure from @GovBillLee @CSexton25 and other powerful state Republicans pressuring them not to. #UnionStrong 💪🏽
Watching Dune 2. Is this a very short insurgency or do the noblewomen in this universe have the gestation span of elephants
As far as I can see the dude is progressive on most issues except this and the border, but only sort of on that. Haven't seen many Sinema type defiance votes. The whole thing has just gone beyond any rational explanation. And none of that other stuff will define him. This will.
Money in politics cannot be the explanation for this. Why would anyone spend so much bribing him anyway? He’s not even on one of the foreign affairs committees. It’s just crazy.
And despite the hagiography, Rufo himself holds the New York Times in contempt just as much as anybody else.
what's fun is the NYT reporters reading every Rufo tweet to figure out what to write in their newspaper/transcription service. But this won't make it in because it makes Rufo look like a giant piece of shit, which violates NYT Rufo hagiography edict.
@nberlat Some people need it. When I'm in that place I listen to Andrea Gibson's "Angels of the Get-Through" a couple times, possibly while crying in the shower, and then listen to "This Year" by the mountain goats and return to my task refreshed.
@nberlat I wouldn't call Mary Oliver an inferior poet. She has chops and that's how she got all those awards. That "rupi kaur" tweet was wildly wrong. But the responses were vintage LiveJournal fanfic drama level wild.
@nberlat Yep, and she has some banger lines - people riff on "you do not have to be good" et seq so much because it goes fucking hard, I'm not mad at all that so many people find it super meaningful.
@nberlat I too have come more to terms with this but I am like Meg and hold onto my anger like Mrs. Whatsit told me.
@nberlat Things aren't bad because they're popular but many popular things are bad, or at least inferior.
unexpected synchronicity on a related hot topic in the arts? Yes. x.com/colleen_daves/…
"Don't you want to skip over the mindless drudgery that is making art?" I do six stand embroidery and break like 10 needles a day, would I prefer that activity didn't hurt my hands and make me angry? Sure. But that's what makes having the finished piece after so worth it to me.
These administrators prefer destroying the ceremony for everyone rather than doing the right thing and letting Asna speak.
USC just announced there will be no outside speakers and honorees at this year’s main commencement ceremony in the wake of its decision to cancel valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s address commencement.usc.edu/important-upda…

@nberlat @popelizbet @TheLincoln @JohnsonBec38633 I’m v curious!
May all my writer friends grow so famous, so critically acclaimed, so comfortable financially that when some young whippersnapper comes along and does some iconoclastic bash on their work they can read it and see if any of it is true without getting upset.
Hell, I didn't even tag in Stephen King. This thread isn't about him, really.
I have no dog in the current hunt, but writers have a bad habit of being terrible at taking critique, and fans have a terrible habit of "if you do not like my fave, I will end you" and it makes an unholy marriage in lit fandom. De gustibus has to apply at some point.
I find the allergy to criticism in the lit world strange when we're talking about extremely well-selling, tenured, award-winning writers. Maybe it's "mean" to critique a small press nobody, but our most famous writers? If they aren't fair game no one is.
@nberlat @0liviajulianna Yeah. It was hard to even get jobs as a barista or server even if you had a lot of experience
