I speak of the century from 1923 to 2024 (B.A.E.) in which everyone knew a stroll between the Lincoln and Washington Memorials, accompanied by restful pauses, reflections, even a picnic or two, was among the great joys for visitors and D.C. residents alike. But no, the Assholic Era is now upon us.

Late to the party, but I'll never not laugh at this one:

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

its crazy how one of the only jobs where you can openly espouse the most disgusting gutter racism on-the-clock is “person who makes laws and is in charge of everything”

We really, really need some in-depth, long-term reporting on deportations in Springfield and the effect on the life and economy of the town and region. Trump made this a test case of his opposition to immigration. Let's see the results.

a giraffe disappears and tom kean jr shows up and we’re supposed to pretend these are two separate stories. wake up sheeple

Sanders releases trove of internal HHS emails showing RFK Jr. pressured CDC over vaccine messaging Emails indicate that Kennedy directed the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel to restrict access to vaccines thehill.com/policy/healt...

Politically, it's been a pretty disheartening week. What's really upsetting me is the group of moderate dems, who have done jack-shit to push against these assholes in charge, that are now cry-babying that the voters are excited about a new generation that might actually fight for us. I'm so mad!

Sounds like thirteen Democratic house members just announced how eager they are to be primaried.

well no wonder the centrists hate him, he’s proving government can actually do big things

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

The one thing that gets me through these years is knowing he's a miserable son of a bitch.

That’s because modern democrats haven’t done a fucking thing to help us in 6-8 years. Donald Trump won the first time, they said to us, “you better fucking vote this time” and so we did, and they haven’t done fuck all since.

Who amongst us didn't read the Guardian article and think what items in their home would be shown to a jury as proof that you were a terrorist? (If you haven't read it, it's here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...)

The Democratic establishment crash-out is a wonderous thing to see. A bunch of people, their organization named after democracy, unable to handle the results of just a few popular elections, appealing to the unspoken rules of a club they thought belonged exclusively to them. Let's do it everywhere.

An immigrant of color received a 30-year sentence for having comic books in his car and for being in the same book club as the other defendants. That's it. That's what he did. He wasn't even at the protest. He just knows the people who were and he had anti-fascist comic books.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Can you imagine being so out of touch of the amazing beauty of life? Musk is a sick, dangerous man, missing out on the things that matter most.

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Obviously, you can see how republicans and MAGA respect Jefferies and Schumer and have worked with them to meet in the middle. Oh, right. Fuck that guy.

We’ve got plenty of “moderates” in the party and they got us where we are. Go preach this “elect moderates” shit in Texas, not in one of the most liberal cities in the country.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

ffs he STILL thinks "asylum" means "insane asylum," he is just profoundly stupid

I've started a project. I'm listening to an album a day (via a random 1000+ album generator) and writing about them here: angela438005.substack.com

Yeah, it kinda stinks

the same guy who leveled the east wing is very mad about vandalism

Starmer’s resignation is a warning, but we’ve run this experiment at home. Sinema, Golden, and Fetterman made the same bet: that poll-tested moderation is a safe harbor. All saw their support crater. In a moment like this, tacking right isn’t the safe play, it’s the thing that sinks you.

The theft of money from NSF to give to venture capital firms is a pretty accurate depiction of how this administration views science. In their view, science done for the betterment of human knowledge, health and the environment is not worthy of investment. It has to make a profit.

I'm open to being corrected but my perception from abroad is that there is very little Keir Starmer did during his tenure that could not have been a Rishi Sunak policy. If you sweep away a wildly unpopular government and then emulate it, you will eventually inherit their unpopularity and then some.

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.

I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

Frye has never been more right.

Very excited to learn that my CV, where I detail how I was the head medical writer for Vyvanse for a few years, will be flagged.

Counterpoint: the only thing this set of people want to get rid of more than academic research is serious teaching.

I am once again asking for term limits on op-ed pundits

As we approach America250, I wish to point out that if not for woke George Washington mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox, we probably wouldn’t have made it to America001.

Jun 19th - Last game of the season, where The Bears took on The Yankees for the championship. 📽️📅 The Bad News Bears (1976)

If he were a Columbia student and said this his citizenship would be revoked

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Go, now! Go!

There is nothing wrong with the reflecting pool. It was simply shaking too many hands.

wants to just play ball. ohhhhh fuck youuuuu. you were the one that made it not ball and now that your soft ass is getting lit up you don't want to smoke?? HELLL NO. that's not how this works. Enjoy the smoke

everything trump touches (peels off and) dies

Ignoring the fact this is not how the money works re: Iran, Democrats love to post "with all the wasted money we could do all of these things that we also do not support."
