BURUHHHHHH

Bro, you can’t even spell or anything

These guys do understand empathy…just not for other humans

I am mostly joking when I say that there should be criminal consequences for, in 2026, casually asserting that the Supreme Court's "larger project" is "reining in the power of the presidency and making the president more politically accountable" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What goes around comes around

It’s my 8 year anniversary of learning to paint!

Here's the floor plan for the new ICE concentration camp in Georgia. Look familiar? Let's take a look at some similar blueprints throughout history.

Red poppies I moved too fast

I was like “the merch better be noodles” and yes! Some of it is noodles! 💗 Some of it is torso covers! 💕

2026 has my atheist ass out here going "Man, the Pope is on fire lately"

Who could have seen that coming? 🙄

So we created whole programs to do background checks for frequent travelers who we know won’t be problematic and we’re shutting them down in favor of violent racial profiling?

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

I have been prompted to remember the Five Obstructions by Lars Von Trier lately and it seemed fucked up at the time but I feel like our current rulers would love that shit.

More performative shit like this! Seriously!

Brits! Surely you have some cold blooded insult to throw at her and banish her from polite society, no?

The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes

LOVE THIS 💗

Pride and Prejudice

In the brain cooker, talking to people with cooked brains, thinking about how my brain is perfectly raw

This phenomenon is turning me into an 80s movie bully where I say, “stop whining you lil b—“

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

She’s never going to experience this as shame which is so annoying

Anyone who thinks they are “doing their own research” needs to understand this.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Oh look, another confession from maga. 🙄

Magnolia season

I feel like I am losing my mind. Like we had this exact discussion in the early 2000s about how this blowback was inevitable and were told we were overreacting.

15 min Paris sketch

We’ve gone from, “slavery is not who we are and those who say it is are unamerican“ to “an enthusiastic slaver and perpetrator of genocide constituted America and we are proud of that and you should be too”

My friendly neighborhood car service outlet is sending me “monthly service summary” emails and like, babe, engagement is not your kpi. If I’m seeing you every month, I’m reporting you to the Better Business Bureau.

Make these people go back (to?) college and do bong hits in a safe space.

I am a product designer and after spending 18 months on a tough project my boss “rewarded” me with the chance to work on slot machines. I lasted about 2 months before I was being rude to everyone and begging to be put on something different. So gross.

“Who’s kitchen table?” remains a hell of a question.

there’s a real irony that this category error appears in a piece ostensibly designed to educate libs how to organize more effectively. no mention of turning point’s right-wing billionaire backers either, naturally. pretty cool?

As always, Sarah brings the real stuff

I was pleasantly surprised to find this wasn’t older
