Finally got me a record player and this is one of the first records I got, astonishingly beautiful #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #NowPlaying #Odetta

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence! It gets even darker than that. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Raleigh was robbed. He just put up the best season a catcher has ever had. No offense to Aaron Judge but Raleigh was the true MVP this year

Seattle media, tonight, is going as close as possible to saying Katie Wilson won the mayoral race — without phrasing it as entirely final. (Which is all very defensible at this stage.) Seattle is shaping up to be the left's second big mayoral win, a sort of West Coast companion to NYC.

Who will be the first Senator to take up this call? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What’s described in this thread are crimes against humanity and repulsive to any decent person. The people perpetrating these crimes should be locked away forever. This is pure, unmitigated evil.

I don’t think I can stomach reading a bunch of testimonials about how great a person Dick Cheney was

Two competing thoughts on the mad dash for AI investment: 1. These companies are simply Underpants Gnomes 2. The central promise of AI is that companies will replace human employees with digital slaves, with all associated moral peril and risk of rebellion www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

There is a special place in hell for those who force Standard Time on us for the winter. I cannot express my hatred for you strongly enough. You make the world a worse place to live in.

Goms!

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Well don't I feel stupid

At the most basic level, cult leaders are crazy people. The cultists who follow them are people who are drawn to this craziness in some way, and through constant exposure to and worship of it, become crazy themselves.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

Personally I’d be surprised to find out that any Trump officials haven’t been accepting giant burlap sacks with cartoon $ signs on them as bribes this whole time

I’ll never understand why MAGA hates America so much

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

This is giving me life, thank you

Just remembering how the last South Park episode zeroed in on Kirk and other right-wing podcasters and how terrible they are

In honor of Charlie Kirk’s death, all the Epstein files should be immediately released, as he advocated for. If you’re going to pretend he was some kind of hero, at least grant him this.

So gross

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Thread BREAKING: A new 38 page proposal shows Trump & Netanyahu are openly planning to take over Gaza & turn it into a casino & tourism resort. Here are the horrid details, & yes all of this is a violation of international human rights law & further confirms Israel is committing genocide. 1/4

I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵

Don’t tell me AI isn’t evil

I cannot say this strongly enough. Fuck AI and everyone forcing it on the public. It is evil and anti-life. I hope it dies a horrible death and everyone involved in it suffers and loses every cent they have. Die, AI, die. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is potentially a massive breakthrough

In case anyone needs clarification, Trump and his administration don’t give a fuck about Jews, and he is antisemitic to his rotten core

He is an evil man opposed to the American ideal, and it is a great tragedy that he will likely live for decades yet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

these museums are the worst! not a single mention of success or brightness anywhere and there is a horrible whirring fan noise and a loud flushing sometimes and the lights go out if you don’t move in too long and there are no exhibits and someone keeps pounding on the door

Best laugh I’ve had in a while

Wait, let me get this straight: The 19-year-old kid the regime nicknamed “Big Balls” got bullied last week by some even-younger kids, and this is the supposed reason for taking over the DC police? Maybe they should stop hiring unqualified loser kids instead?

I’m sure this will turn out fine

Somebody just sent this to me via an email listserve and it is SUCH a zinger. ABSOLUTELY TRUTH RIGHT HERE

My niece’s softball team is going to the Little League World Series and it’s pretty cool to have something so simple and pure to feel happy about

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it is remarkably easy not to buy things from Amazon

Columbia University will never live down the shame of bowing to this clumsy and transparent fascism.

Bill Barr understood how to orchestrate an effective coverup. Pam Bondi does not.

A baby could’ve deduced this but still a seismic moment

The best way to make an unpopular approach popular is to do it in multiple places simultaneously I guess www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Anyone who isn’t clear that the NYT is carry water for fascist Trump should look at their front page right now. Announcing that he’s weathered the Epstein storm when there’s no reason to think that. Good little quislings sweeping child rape under the rug.

TikTok is killing us with these 😬

Josh remains one of the best and most level-headed commentators around

Perfectly stated

The missing 2:53 of the Epstein tape is this generation’s Nixon tape 18 minute gap

An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratio’d on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say he’s “gaslighting,” others say it will cost him supporters or even “kill MAGA.” A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.

After what happened to Bush’s approvals after Hurricane Katrina, as a popularity-obsessed president I’d dump tons of extra resources into FEMA and build up the best disaster response system there is, but then I have a memory longer than a housefly’s

He had positive approval on this like 2 months ago! It was strongest issue! People hate ICE! People like immigrants!
