Also, festively eating all the cookies you just baked so you festively gain five pounds and are festively required to bake them again so you have something festive to serve tomorrow

I think we need to stop talking to each other, "what would you do if that was your kid" and instead talk to elected officials, "if you do not prioritize gun legislation, you will not know peace". the US population is crystal clear on gun violence. We don't want it.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

It's deeply revealing that the guy in charge of this tech has so little social and psychological know-how that he must ask a text predictor app why his baby throws pizza on the floor and laughs

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

I’ve been nominated for the FIFA prize for literature, oh wait, I just found out I won. Imaginary prizes are it turns out, very easy to win.

“Hey, we heard you wanted a peace prize, so we had one made up just for you buddy! And right over here, we got your superhero cape, ok buddy? Have fun!”

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Every time I see piggy lash out, I remember this.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is: "The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

They made it a video, and it is glorious!

Kinda strange we have living survivors right here and we’re waiting for what’s left of some files

A common response by victims of sexual abuse is to blame themselves for the harm they suffered and it seems like an equally common response by perpetrators of sexual abuse is to not blame themselves at all.

Had to make the pilgrimage today

OK but if emails take down Trump, and a blow job finally ruins Clinton, it definitely proves God is a really funny woman right

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

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”

Just to be clear. MAGAs are gutting: •Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive •SNAP—which 42M Americans rely on to eat •School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily •Housing Assistance—which 5M families rely on to live ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 Billionaires This Is Barbaric.

Release the Epstein files.

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

It turns out our checks and balances relied on the honor system all along, and the people in power now have none.

As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

JD Vance defends sinking a Venezuelan boat:

I had that quote on the back of my sign yesterday!

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

One of my favorites. Washington, DC. #NoKings

Sabrina Carpenter voice: Oh boy

I just can’t stop singing the life of a showgirl, but I can’t unhear “all the hedgehogs on the walls…” like she is not singing headshots. She is singing hedgehogs. I’m sure of it.

This generational trauma ICE is inflicting will reverberate for longer than we realize, in ways we can only begin to imagine.

When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.

This thread plainly explains why facism is the word that meets the moment - not just some inflammatory pejorative that gets thrown around.

The 12-foot statue depicts the president holding hands with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed up at the capital. "We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein.”

Jon Stewart doesn't miss ☠️☠️☠️

Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.” Michael Rivero

The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.

I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social gloves off! Keep it up!

"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this." -- email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen about Donald Trump in 2015 -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) hidinginplainsightbook.com

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

Bringing the DSM to parties like I’m giving tarot readings.

What a blessing it is to try in your own way to make a difference in the world. What a gift to have such an opportunity.

I have so many questions. Is there a court in the UK, devoted to hearing Harry Potter star related cases? Is suspension of driving privileges typical for driving 8 mph over the speed limit? Are Harry Potter stars subject to stricter driving regulations than the gen pop? amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/...

I’m old enough to remember when racial profiling was a bad thing
