Notes From An Anchor Baby
Notes from an Anchor Baby. To be Anti-Immigrant is to be Anti-American. Firm believer that there is no more sacred a space than a library.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyJust FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyHi, I’m God. I think good people should unite for a month long general strike. Love, God
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyIt is worth wondering how many truly national and international events are going to happen in our lifetimes, because they’re getting considerably less common. The pope jokes were a high point on this site because the election of a pope is, like, one of thirty things ✨everyone✨ hears about anymore.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyAs my Democracy-ish co-host @daniellemoodie.bsky.social says, Donald Trump is the world's easiest trick. So easy to manipulate, flatter and purchase. Questions remain: who and what is he willing to give up in return? Americans should really spend time on that. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyRand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor Babymy extremely loose criteria on 'religious/spiritual practice or woo' - does it ape the language of science? ('quantum' is a bad sign) - is it focused only on the practitioner's needs, or those of others? - is it *actively hostile* to evidence-based medicine, or supplementary to it?
- We just gotta take a hardline No Woo stance I think. There're genuinely difficult questions about how this relates to traditional religion (being the political party of Reddit Atheists would be, for various reasons, bad) but some kinda "know it when I see it" ability to rule out this stuff is vital.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyI don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyNever lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy. No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor Babywow, wonder who was president when no one was flying during covid?
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyLiterally every New Yorker I’ve talked to about it has said they love it.
- NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyLegality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyGOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor Babywas recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabySo it would be trivially easy for Qatar to bug or otherwise sabotage this plane, right?

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyThere are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America. Guess which one they want you to focus on.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyI'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyJust remembering how Erick Erickson called Justice Souter a “goat fucking child molester.” Just a reminder that Trumpists were freaks decades before Trump came down the escalator.

- You'd never know from the @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com front pages, but yesterday the President of the United States was asked if he needs to "uphold the Constitution," and his answer was "I don't know."
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyIn other news, the day after Trump said he didn't "know" whether he needed to "uphold the Constitution," @nytimes.com protected his delicate fee-fees by hiding the story on page A-29.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyOne thing that Trump will not tolerate is the heads of agencies saying publicly that their agency should exist.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyWhat are we even doing? This isn't something anyone can engage with. It's not even a plausible assertion. It'd be like trying to argue with a loud, high-pitched buzzing noise.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyA hill I’ll keep dying on: Whatever your politics, the fact that so many U.S. leaders do not understand basic constitutional law—or willfully distort it—reflects extremely poorly on our country.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyI’ve been saying this to my friends and family this since the election.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyI strongly suspect that the administration’s endgame isn’t to eliminate Medicare, but rather to privatize it, thereby forcing everyone into Medicare Advantage plans or plans like them.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyI am not sure that any of us is ready for a Pope who tweets in a personal capacity, speaks fluent English and can therefore engage in public American debates, if he so chooses
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyThere are no examples of groups who regret opposing Trump and there are no examples of groups who are glad they caved to Trump
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyWatch the new Surgeon General nominee rattle off "too many too soon", "our bodies know what to do", "THEY don't let you think these things!!!!" and the rest of the core RFK Jr disciple articles of faith. Then call Bill Cassidy in the morning and tell him this time, vote fuck no.

- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyIt’s fascinating at times how dumb Trump is. Harris will cause another Great Depression if elected unlike me a huge supporter of the types of tariffs and economic policies believed to have caused the Great Depression.
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyIf we can't stop people from outsourcing their brains to AI the AI should at least subliminally nudge users toward prosocial behavior. "Here's your essay on Nietzsche...who always returned his shopping carts btw." If everyone's going to be stupid at least they should also be nice
- Reposted by Notes From An Anchor BabyThis point is incredibly important and can't be repeated enough; it was unions that made manufacturing jobs good jobs, not the factories.
- Everybody is talking about Trump's doll lunacy from the consumer side of the equation. But we should also talk about it from the labor side. Are doll manufacturing jobs something we want at massive scale? No, not really. Here's what this would look like: newrepublic.com/article/1949...
