The only acceptable headline: The stupidest man on earth still doesn't understand the term "looking for asylum"

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does

he's just gonna keep doing illegal shit as long as everyone keeps letting him

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

One thing to remember is that about 85% of the time that the Anglo-American right is really mad at Karl Marx, it’s too stupid to know it’s actually mad at Max Weber.

A handful of people with more money than the entire middle class combined want you to blame anyone and anything but their own greed for why everything is so expensive. Don’t fall for it.

Need this energy when Trump leaves office. Take a fucking bulldozer to his bribe ballroom and rip his name off the Kennedy Center and whatever else he slaps his name on.

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

No pivot to the unknowable “center”

And in such a powerful line ♥️

This is a little orgasmic, I won’t lie.

A List of Predictions Made in 1926 About 2026 🧵

Story in the morning SFChronicle “Between the week of May 11 and the week of June 8, the period when federal immigration enforcement activity escalated in Los Angeles and other parts of the state, Californians reporting private sector work dropped by 3.1% - roughly 465,000 fewer workers.”

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.

i know how stupid this is but if official dem accounts decided to make these assholes internet famous by calling them perverted freaks it would end this daycare harassment campaign and im telling you i know how stupid that is…

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

Australian researchers have made a trial COVID vaccine that stops COVID infection and transmission, rather than just reduce the damage done by an infection: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2025.1654126/full This could be life-changing for many - including me.

"One Word Describes Trump" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... I missed this on its first trip around, then saw it on the "most popular with readers" list for 2025. Recommended, despite the cheesy headline. Especially valuable if you have ever compared him to a mob boss. [Gift link]

And so does 2025 begins its own pilgrimage to the shadows of the dark, dank ossuary of yesteryears

The exec that said "we thought it was farther along then it was" is absolutely the greatest issue right now. Not only is it not capable of doing any of these things on a broad scale, it will do them significantly worse than any employee. Going all in on something to boost stock value that fails.
