One day I’m 16. The adults I know don’t trust the government, they read newspapers, and they encourage higher education. I blink and it’s 30 years later. Most adults mindlessly believe the administration, they’re functionally illiterate, and they’re tearing down Western civilization for the lulz.

What the news looks like to the average Trump voter:

I’m rethinking the dumb Trump voter. Maybe they’re evil instead. They know Trump lies and they don’t care. They know the left didn’t kill Charlie Kirk, but they’ll pretend like it did. What MAGA actually wants is bloodshed and Trump feeds them the lies they need to justify it.

These days traditional Republican values mean wanting bribes the old fashioned way in brown bags stuffed with cash, versus offshore accounts or crypto.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Uh oh. The mask is off now.

Closed borders? Economic central planning? Nationalizing industry? Ending due process and free speech? I’m confused as to how someone could “make America great again” by doing the literal opposite of everything that made her great in the first place. Someone please explain this.

Yes, it happened: www.justice.gov/usao-wdtx/pr...

This administration isn’t trustworthy. They are fabricating evidence to turn the shooter into a “leftist” so they can foment a civil war.

Without a single shred of evidence, the VP just declared the American left responsible for the death of Charlie Kirk. Last week House Republicans introduced a bill that would allow Rubio to unilaterally pull passports from anyone he says aided terrorism. This is getting very very dark.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

Pence: "State ownership of business is very common in China & Russia. Taking a percentage of sales of Nvidia, taking a percentage of stock of Intel is inconsistent w/ free market principles, and I think it's taken our country to a very perilous place and I think we need to resist that very strongly"

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

🤔

Something to think about: Literally every piece of “evidence” that shows Charlie Kirk’s shooter was antifa/leftist/trans/etc. has come from inside the Trump administration. But every piece of evidence that shows he was a far-right extremist has come from real-world, outside sources.

I'm really annoyed about people putting pronouns in their bios, so I think I'll have a little tantrum and destroy the economy, democracy, rule of law, Pax Americana, and 500 years of scientific progress. That'll show 'em!

They want us to feel afraid. Fear makes us censor ourselves, stay quiet, keep our heads down. I get it; it's scary. But do not do the work of the oppressor for them. The more we speak out, the more we work in community, the less power they have. Don't let the right use fear as a wedge & cudgel.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

Russia's death rattle. Russia is devouring itself alive in its sadistic desire to keep attacking Ukraine and now Europe. Vile cannibalism of itself.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

Most autocrats are dimwitted and lucky more than evil geniuses, but there's something exceptional about how we've built a cult of personality around a man who is unabashedly so very, very stupid. And one where one where loyalty is defined almost entirely by willingness to make yourself an idiot.

What sort of heating fuel do most homes in Russia use?

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.

Yall know that these people dont intend to leave office, right?

Army aviation fighters shoot down Shaheds and Gerans with onboard machine gun fire during one of the recent attacks.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

Pam Bondi just said the Kirk shooter was highly rated by an organization called “TransUnion,” which is apparently connected to moneylending and may have financed this operation.

Normally I wouldn’t celebrate anyone’s death. I think that’s ugly and cruel. But now that the Nazi fucks are making dissident lists of anyone celebrating Kirk’s death, I say we celebrate to spite them. Let’s spit in the face of authoritarianism and make this a holiday of defiance! Let’s party! 🥳

The kid who shot Charlie Kirk was a far-right Groyper. As with the Butler assassination attempt, it was right-on-right violence. Meanwhile, we non-MAGAs have been doing a great job of not letting them rage-bait us into violence. I’m really proud of all of us for not sinking to their level. ❤️

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

"Have empathy for Charlie Kirk," they scold, before threatening to line us all up against the wall.

The America of 2025 is designed by Boomers, for Boomers. As far as they're concerned, the rest of us can get fucked.

MAGA is becoming communist to own the libs.

More than the demonstration, what should concern anyone worried about the rise of fascism is the appalling state of our mainstream media and parties as they are really not taking the threat seriously and are clearly out of their depth They have been responsible for this rise from the get go

Americans are getting close to never knowing the truth again. Its all spin, distraction & sleight of hand while taxes increase to support the privatization of Federal Agencies & the oligarchy. There s a corrupt president & Admin, a corrupt DOJ, a corrupt Supreme court & a corrupt Congress.

seeing nice people who helped raise you and old friends you used to party with call for you to meet the business end of a holy war does something to you, man.
