Reminds me of the observations that brought down Viktor Orbán

"Men who can't handle the local dating market" is biblical. NOT NEW.

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

Imagine the Third Reich but with the surveillance capabilities of AI-enabled tech.

Trust me babe, Saturn isn’t enjoying this Aries transit any more than you are

Exactly this.

I'm the one who did this. I was making the point that we can challenge religious beliefs when brought to the public forum. The separation of church and state was for THEIR protection. Let them tear it down.

Why do they be like, everything cultural you do is just so cool, we're gonna stick our nose in your business & steal it! But they can never get to the point of basically respecting Black people as fellow humans.

He already votes like one and we warned people who are doubling down by supporting Platner.

Congress banned Big Tech from working with TikTok over national security concerns. Then Apple, Google, and Microsoft went to DOJ and asked for assurances they wouldn’t be prosecuted for… working with TikTok anyway. New docs show they got that protection.

The ultra-rich decided it was cheaper to buy Congress than support public goods because then they could also make Congress shoulder the blame for killing public goods. read the @raxkingisdead.bsky.social essay that scott is reacting to.

Abuser logic

this is a great example of a business reacting to political/corporate shifts as though they are populist shifts. they did correctly read the signs of a nationwide rollback on LGBTQ rights! they just failed to account for how many people are FUCKING FURIOUS about that and will fight you over it

Joy. Tears. More joy.

MY GOD SHE TURN THE RACE AROUND WITH ONE SIMPLE TRICK AND YET

We should take the same lesson and apply it to the criminal enterprise being run by Trump and his family. Then boot them from power just like voters just did to Orbán.

Fundamentally useless government

French Widow Detained by ICE in Alabama Is Released After 16 Days By Catherine Porter "Ms. Ross-Mahé was greeted at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport by her three adult children. She was still dressed in her prison wear — orange shoes, sweatpants and a gray sweater, covered in stains and holes."

The murders are up

“When the President said it’s open, he meant it’s open —- for BUSINESS.” Some Trumpist loser on the shows this weekend

remember when celebrities seemingly randomly started coming out talking about how much they loved NFTs and thought it was super valuable and the future?

the winners of wars do not usually pay the losers, correct?

Reuters reports that Republicans could be seeking $50 BILLION OR MORE—with no oversight. Meanwhile, Americans are worried sick—literally—about how to afford a doctor’s visit as mass deportation agents boast about getting bonuses for harassing American teenagers👇🏽

In that case I have a message of love and compassion to everyone who supports Trump

Trump really doesn't like the idea that he can't control some people, like the Pope or the chairman of the federal reserve. He's used to bending people to his will, when that doesn't happen he lashes out with personal attacks. That's what keeps him up at night rage tweeting.

"The first Polish pope helped liberate his home country from authoritarian rule. The Trumpists are worried that the first American pope could contribute to such a development here. The view Pope Leo is upholding—that right matters not just might—is an American one." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The pope's on his African vacay spreading spiritual brotherhood to the formerly colonized. Trump's sitting in a poopy diaper enraged at him on Truth Social. They are not the same.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani have agreed on one way to tax the rich, for now—through an annual tax surcharge aimed at extracting dough from rich out-of-towners who own property like those condos on Billionaires' Row that sit empty 9 months out of the year.

🇪🇺🇭🇺 European Commission delegation to visit Hungary to discuss loan for Ukraine and others with Magyar. The European Commission has confirmed that it will hold its first talks with Hungary's new government tomorrow, hoping for a constructive relationship.

some schools just you know, email their students and ask PLEASE RESPOND WITH YOUR CORRECT PRONUNCIATION SO WE GET IT RIGHT which is what they have to do with the AI anyway, because the AI requires them submit a fucking voice recording

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán: 1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee 2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

I hope you guys are cool with $8 a gallon

That Chevron guy said yesterday that we should do our part and drive less. Fuck him and #FuckChevron.

If you don’t believe that they’ve destroyed whatever is left of those files … That’s what they’ll do with everything criminal - they’ll destroy all evidence.

I really don't think we should give any credit for this. The mask is slipping and he's saying how much easier it is to fundraise and browbeat those in power than to actually govern.

“‘It’s a stressful situation,’ said Marcia Tertulien, 22, who arrived in January 2024 under the same parole program as Merisier. ‘I can find a job, but they’ll refuse to hire me because of the work permit situation. I’m in limbo. I don’t really know what to do.’”

Tired: Boys will be boys Wired: Boys will be dead if they try this shit with my kid

Orban’s defeat isn’t a mere disappointment to Trump, Putin, and the transnational far right. It’s a direct setback. They didn’t watch the election from afar, they tried interfering. They concocted plots, tried a false flag lie, sent top officials to Hungary to help campaign. And they lost. Badly.

i’m guessing she was targeted precisely because she was helping other immigrants.

These are great words. Problem is US already bombed Iran last summer unprovoked, conducted Gaza genocide with Israel, and has been committing war crimes against Iran and choked vital supplies to the world for a month and a half. And Congress only has words. It has not done a damn thing.

Incredible job Mr. Jeffrey Bezos cutting off the NBA Playoff game with 20 seconds left in overtime. Thank you for your incredible hard work on Amazon Prime Video: The Service That Always Works.

This reminds me of when Mississippi's former governor was suddenly spending a lot of time in the UK promoting Brexit, palling around with Nigel Farage and meeting with Charles. www.mississippifreepress.org/god-save-the...

If I were a new Catholic, I would simply not try to lecture the pope about theology.

"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time. H/t @jumulojimbus.bsky.social

If JD Vance wants to tutor his betters, he could start by telling his boss what tariffs are

I mean. Rabbi over here. Really could not be much less Catholic than I am. And even *I* know that is some absolute nonsense. One does not simply walk into Mordor, and one does not "well actually" the ACTUAL POPE about Catholic theology.

These are the people who slammed Harris for attending a couple of events with Liz Cheney.
