This is another sign of how the old categories of liberal and conservative no longer map precisely on our modern parties. Here the Democrats are more conservative as we’ve long understood the term — they’re (rightly) the Russia hawks.
@AGHamilton29 So I guess you couldn't put it aside. It's ok. Not your flavor, but it made millions happy and made me wish I could understand it better. It felt joyful.
A new Cato Institute study underscores that working immigrants have been a massive net positive to our economy for decades.
Not only are Trump’s policies cruel, they’re also really dumb.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
The right is no longer conservative in any sense of the word.
They seek to conserve nothing.
Their only remaining impulse is a desire to dominate and destroy.
Every word of this from @tomgpalmer. 👇
@VoiceOfTheStar@SollyThomas90 Dumb thought, sir. Are they going to sell the Marshawn shirts the squad will wear to raise money for organizations that can help?
Also, I'm grateful for you and hope you are wading through the weight.

Marshawn Kneeland’s legacy can live on through mental health advocacy and community, and I’m moved to speak on a topic I am all too familiar with — to #Cowboys fans and everyone in general.
Hear me out, please.

“Hello?”
“Patrik…Marshawn is gone.”
“What do you mean?”
“He died.”
*drops phone, tears fall*

I’ve tried so many times to find words since answering my phone early Thursday morning, but nothing qualifies to relay the devastation — the shattered heart knowing we had spoken not long before.
I’ve replayed so many of our talks in my mind since that call. The first day you arrived in Dallas wearing that huge smile, so ready to make your family and your mom proud, and you did.
The endless talks we had about comics, anime and gaming, always comparing notes on each topic and promising we’d squad up on Marvel Rivals next offseason when we both have time.
Time… the thing we tell ourselves we have but never truly do. 💔
The talks we had after you had a tough game or practice, or injury, still smiling, always smiling; and outwardly the eternal optimist even while you fought those demons that I am personally all too familiar with.
Mine nearly claimed me as well.
You fought them in the dark while always being the light for others, and that is your legacy: selflessness, graciousness, humility, kindness, authenticity and compassion.
Anyone who has ever caught us laughing during our talks or wondered where I was only to find us off to the side talking about so many different things knows I lost a little brother on Nov. 6, 2025.
And to know what I lost you to, given how passionately I advocate for mental health, will haunt my days until I see you again.
But, until I do, just know your passing will only embolden me to be even more unrelenting in preaching mental health, and especially for boys and men who think silence is strength when the opposite is true when help is needed.
And if that saves just one person, then you will not have passed in vain.
Rest peacefully, Shawn.
You told me a couple days prior: “OK bet, I’ll see you later, Pat!”
You will, but I still have work to do here first, and that includes making sure you’re never forgotten and that the memory of you never fades in people’s minds.
I am blessed to know I said the following to you while you were here to hear it, but one more time for old time’s sake:
“I love you, bro. Take care of yourself.” 🕊️
P.S. You win. Naruto is the best anime, and I was kidding, because you were always S-Rank. 🖤 #iykyk
You didn’t have to try to level solo, though.
No goodbyes. Ttyl.
Thank you for blessing me with your spirit, energy and existence.
