Wild that a drunk white dude gets to give an important speech on the importance of being violent and mediocre just because people confuse seeing one minority on the street with the apocalypse

Too many people take the rambling on display today as another reason for crouching in fear instead of making fun of whatever that shit was.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Bingo. The president is neither physically nor mentally well and that fact becomes more apparently every single day. Its ok to run with that instead of acting like his weak ramblings are the act of some sort of god king.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

My book is now available for pre-order with Cambridge University Press (cup.org/4nfM2IM). Here, I reflected on America's acceleration of reliance on Medicare Advantage and the new traditional Medicare prior auth administrered with AI, through the lens of my findings open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

I sure hope the ADL is proud that they stuck up for Elon Musk when he did a Nazi salute back in January.

Dad’s documenting the ICE protests and posting what he’s observed. He’s providing counter programming to friends & family in other parts of the country to Trump’s bullshit. His normie shitlib ass is doing far more work than Very Online Keyboard Warrior Leftists.

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe

I also loved this observation. The tech’s true “innovation” is its utter disregard for efficiency. It “works” bc it accepts the most irresponsibly resource-intensive production method imaginable. What matters is not what it costs but *who* pays. The apotheosis of a culture built around disposability

The barriers put in place to stop any trans girls from playing with others girls are so complicated and onerous that TEN SCHOOLS can’t get enough cis girls through them to field soccer teams this year. “Respect for women’s sports” my ass.

I've worked in fast food. I worked at Target (very briefly). I worked in factories. I did active duty time, in combat arms, as a paratrooper, during the GWOT. Guess which one treated me best, *by far*? That's right, combat arms NCOs treated me better than factory managers did a decade later.

But they want you to think we SHOULDN’T help the bottom 50% get health insurance but SHOULD help the 1% get richer.

if there’s someone whose takes you consistently like on this app, find out if they have a non-app body of work and support it Do they draw comics? Buy some! Do they write Star Trek books? Borrow them from the library! Etc

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

Please read this. This is a five alarm fire.

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.” Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-the-media-reporting-on-trumps-d1e

A white hard right winger murdered a white hard right winger and the hard right says “the transgender black communists must answer for this”

Suing Donald Trump pro se for $40 trillion dollars is the way all Jan6ers should be spending their pardons, as the QShaman is. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix...

if you simply do not like the vibe on this website, that's fine. i'm not a big fan of the "open cesspool of neo-nazis" vibe on X: The Everything App. but this ideologically-driven desire to present every person who uses this app as hysterical and unreasonable is kind of pathetic

One of the most bizarre arguments against defunding the police is the idea that somehow cops are good at stopping people from being hurt. In the CSX 8888 incident, cops literally, I swear this is true, tried to stop s driverless runaway train BY SHOOTING AT IT. I'm serious.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Nick Valencia, who has been doing amazing reporting, just wrote about this: “These Are Abductions.” Newlywed Husband Says Wife Taken During Green Card Interview open.substack.com/pub/nickvale...

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Aside from how utterly deranged it is to even make light of this, he's not mocking some reporter or pundit by calling him "General." Ben Hodges is a real three-star general, he was the commander of the US Army in Europe before he retired. In other words, he's worked with a lot of Germans soldiers.

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people. But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person. Denial makes things worse

JD Vance comparing legitimate criticism of ICE to a “blood libel” is one of the most antisemitic things that has happened in US politics recently, and yet none of the major US Jewish groups like the ADL and the AJC have said anything, because they’re too focused on college students.

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

i can’t believe peter thiel once while on joe rogan, unprompted to say this, that he hung out with and continued to talk to jeffery epstein AFTER he was arrested for sex trafficking. like he was cool with all that

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it” It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.

Govt claims requiring all adults in Britain to have “digital ID” will “help control borders” and “illegal immigtation”. That could only be true if police are given powers to require ID, without suspicion of a crime. A 🧵explaining why:

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Morning walk

Every billionaire should be arrested on RICO charges.

Is Starlink unable to provide many users with internet access? Yes. Is Starlink enabling organized crime? Yes. Is Starlink making a mess of low orbit? Also yes. It remains way past time to shut down this scam. www.satellitetoday.com/connectivity...

Yep. And That 3 lbs can was still 13.99 in December. Now it's $20.99. They have increased the cost of coffee by 50% in eight months. I'm honestly shocked how in stride people are taking it.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

The recognition of a Palestinian state is also a recognition of a legitimate Israeli state. Read the fine print. Jewish orgs objecting to that -boost the Kahanist vision of a single Jewish non-democratic state -give credibility to the counter vision of a single Palestinian state from river to sea

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp
