People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

This.

barring some sort of society-wide denazification effort I am basically not at all interested in reintegrating anyone involved in this administration after it all comes crashing down. if someone comes to me with DOGE on their resume I will tell them to fuck off until my dying day

ive been in and out of poverty since 2008 and its amazing how fast the basic human activity of hanging out becomes inaccessible when you don't have money any more

This one has the angle better

I'm going to sound like a broken record by the way I keep mentioning how 95% of Somalis in the Twin Cities metro area are US citizens, but very few mainstream outlets are pointing this out. This should be very basic stuff for any news organization.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either." youtu.be/603NmGNkfqY

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

Hate rally in the oval

Incremental improvements to the GOP conspiracy theory cinematic universe could draw in somewhat more people who are looking for escapism from their increasingly terrible lives

We clearly are ruled by an authoritarian right now who commands a largely authoritarian party and senior appointees I don’t know what else to tell u

Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.

I remind myself that their demolition has been anything but surgical. They have ripped out a lot of the Jenga blocks that upheld the old order. This is a moment of profound danger but also unprecedented opportunity, depending on how we rebuild after things break.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

for the record, i don’t believe that all men want is to assault teenagers without suffering consequences for it. i do however believe that if you’re a man who does NOT want that, this would be a GREAT time to get VERY FUCKING LOUD about it

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

A trillion dollars, for this?

the hero we deserve

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

I think that Platner's story about being a drunk Marine is probably true to an extent, but it seemed like he also relished the edginess of it, knowing it was taboo. I think the taboo on Nazi symbology needs to be enforced, especially now.

the part about that “i love hitler” groupchat is that it’s not surprising that all young republicans are nazis, this is just the average rightwinger these days. they’re all extremists who love every extreme position possible and everyone needs to realize that

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

antifa is reclaiming frogs from the alt-right

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

It’s because of these assholes that I’ll be attending my first No Kings rally on October 18. I value my rights so much I’m doing what I think is the best course of action to preserve them, which is the opposite of “hating the country”.

You know, I hadn't planned to go to this, but clearing the calendar now.

today i learned dorothy thompson was dragging trumpy tradwives in 19-hundred-and-fucking-41 in Harper's, the same magazine which would 79 years later publish a letter decrying precisely this kind of drag as illiberal cancel culture
