We are fighting the Devil. It’s that simple. I don’t know what else to call evil in physical form like this.

really good thread

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

Honestly, at some point the burden of proof is on atheists that Trump is not the antichrist.

I'm not sure "if you keep calling us murderers, we'll get angry and have to respond by shooting and murdering more citizens in broad daylight" is quite the argument that Tom Homas thinks it is.

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

oh hey I just read the greatest work of fiction of the decade archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.

Boomers: It just sucks so much that everyone gets participation trophies now, you used to have to show real merit to get an award Also Boomers:

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

incredible quote lol

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit. All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

Eagles sports radio is gonna make the red wedding look like a romantic comedy

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

This post uses data from my latest poll with Verasight. We asked voters to describe what their ideal political party would stand for. Then, I categorized voters based on the issues they mentioned and computationally mapped them onto 3 axes: economic, social, and non-ideological/affordability.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

SOMEONE: Fuck you! BOVINO: That’s not very nice. THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

Trump Denies Writing 36-Volume Comic Titled ‘Don And Jeff: Time Pedophiles’ https://theonion.com/trump-denies-writing-36-volume-comic-titled-don-and-jeff-time-pedophiles/

the extent to which journalists will circle the wagons around even members of the profession who have serially violated every professional ethical standard possible is astounding

This is the stupidest I think it has ever felt to just be going to work every day

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

donald trump is a pedophile and half the voters in the united states will come out acknowledge this, and be okay with that

I think all Democratic eight senators who caved to the GOP should have to read this to truly understand who they've hurt.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that. It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Gosh, I hope Andrew Cuomo, George Santos, and Bill Ackman don’t follow through on their threats to leave New York forever and move to Florida. What ever would NYC do!?!
