“Sometimes, after a long day of posting and getting bribes, it’s nice to commune with the image of another president who liked raping underage girls.”

Trump is so glum to have to be doing this thing where everyone is booing and nothing is about him.

Hegseth wants the US military to be more Spartan, which does unfortunately involve being beaten up by the Persians

People really don’t want a guillotine in Piccadilly.

This enhances patriot and SM-6 resupply how?

This is entirely Pete Hegseth’s doing.

MSU is up! Trump is taking DC hostage, I was wrong about Graham Platner, and there’s no reason to fear the DSA. open.substack.com/pub/morestab...

Man, that sounds really bad in a country where practically any psycho can easily get their hands on a gun and where all our kids have to do active shooter drills, and no one has more power to do something about that than the person talking.

We want so very hard to believe (and probably are mostly right) that the NG guys really don’t want to be out there, while the ICE/CBP guys all signed up for this. We’ll definitely have a “Myth of a Clean Army” when this is over.

Have you ever heard the Tale of Darth Mitch the Wise? It is not a tale the Democrats would tell.

Israeli Settlers Demonstrate They Are Exactly Who Democrats Say They Are.

I hope Trump Admin employees never plan to take a Viking River Cruise in retirement, because they’ll all have multiple extradition warrants waiting the moment they step outside the U.S. better buy your winnebagos now!

Want to know how long it took German higher learning to recover from 12 years of Nazism? Never. 81 years after WWII, still not back.

This is cool but I admit I expected to see them slamming boards into their heads.

In the midst of a crisis, a miraculous solution of totally unknown origin and funding miraculously appears. What could go wrong?

The plan? We get so scared of the idea of Susan Collins as an unbeatable juggernaut that we clear the field for the only people who could lose to her in a wave year

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

Watching “The Horse Soldiers” tonight because it’s the closest thing I know to a movie about Vicksburg.

If you’re pregnant and you can afford to fly to the U.S. to have your kid: stay home, the maternal and child care almost certainly is better there. If you’re pregnant and walked across our southern border, that’s amazing, you’ll do great here, welcome!

It was a 5-4 ruling on black letter text any grade schooler could interpret correctly. Horrifying it wasn’t 9-0.

You cannot claim we are a constitutional republic when one person can decide whether the constitution’s black-letter text means what it says and what its drafters clearly meant.

tacky and fashy

Mel Brooks also won the one war he fought in. More than the Confederacy can say!

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

This is ridiculous and @markzaidesq.bsky.social should be embarrassed. MAGA/Tea Party are built on delusions like Obama is a Muslim, Michelle is a man, windmills cause cancer, etc. they’ve also shown a propensity to violence and crime. You can disagree with DSA types, but they’re not the same.

😕

It’s not just that it’s bigoted, it’s that Gill was raised in a test tube in a right wing think tank and never did a day’s real work in his life.

LOL, the Trump admin just shut down the newest Claude model for *everyone* because Anthropic has no way to ensure it can't be accessed by foreign nationals in the U.S. Wouldn't surprise me if the underlying cause was Elon Musk telling Stephen Miller to do this because nobody wants to use Grok.

A very happy World Antifascism Day to all who celebrate.

The only thing a White House drone port could “save Washington” from is Washingtonians. Trump is the first president to threaten to bomb an American city.

In a touching ceremony later that day, Hegseth officially redesignated the 1st ID the 352nd ID.

YOU - By the way, I'm a fascist. THE DESERTER - You're not. You're part of the meat shield surrounding the *real* fascists, while they rape children. That's what *you* are.

So this actually isn’t a horrible idea if you know the traffic pattern there, but what he’s really teasing is putting up a symmetrical walkway on the Arlington side, because rn there’s literally no way for pedestrians to get across the traffic circle to the 250’ Arch he wants to build.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

Yeah but it’s ok as long as he doesn’t have a totenkopf tattoo, I hear that’s how you really know who the Nazis are.

Remember he’s not promising to install a “port” for these atop the ballroom to fight foreign enemies.

There’s a Maine democratic candidate named David Costello for anyone looking for options.

Trump posts an image of his “drone port” on top of the White House, which raises the question of who they’re planning to drone in and around DC

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

This thing about Talarico’s girlfriend seems like when the Boston Globe tried to dig into Seth Moulton’s military record and found… valor awards he didn’t talk about because he didn’t want his mom to worry about him. The stuff they want to hide just makes them cooler.

Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes announce they are backing out of Freedom 250. “We may play in wretched hives of scum and villainy, but we have our standards,” D’an said.

I love the idea of Italian and Hispanic “white supremacists” bro the OGs don’t even think you’re white and they’re calling you “wop” and “dago” behind your back.

Obviously building a Death Star.

This is expressly unconstitutional per Art I Sec 9.

Trump abandons Americans. A disgrace.
