shit ain’t over til it’s over

The wannabe king is now directing his regime to prosecute his political opponents. Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we have NO KINGS and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Join us for the next nationwide day of defiance: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Miller has almost certainly committed an overt act in a conspiracy to commit murder

Conventionally you would think about what the consequences of a policy would be before you announce it

no i don't think contemporary cancellation is the same as Spinoza's life

This is going to be an extinction level event for a lot of land-grant universities, which in turn blows up the economies of a bunch of like midwestern college towns

Have we started calling it TrumpTok yet? Seems like a gimme

So now we’re going to have a third right wing ratfucking social media platform people won’t admit they’re addicted to but will insist they can’t get off of?

Bit of a tangent but swapping Arwen for Glorfindel at the ford was a legitimately good change for the film version

Alright I accidentally caught a clip of the pyrotechnics at the Kirk funeral, these people are literally Satanic

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

Yo what the fuck

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I just don’t have the capacity to be afraid of these dorks

This was what Chevy was making the year the A-10 was introduced into service

who was President from 1 Jan 20 until 20 Jan 21 continues to be the defining political question of our time

Streaming Georg is an outlier and should not be counted

It’s going to important to subject these people to significant civil and criminal liability for this kind of thing And going forward, DOJ policy needs to be that willful constitutional torts just categorically don’t get indemnified. If you want to abuse a migrant, you might lose your house over it

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

anyone who imagines that the Letter from a Birmingham Jail is talking about liberals does not understand the politics of that era in the slightest

Joel Schumacher was a stone cold freak (laudatory)

Taco Shop burrito

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

The aesthetics of revolution have no particular connection to the practice

Huh

Disney’s purely amoral pursuit of money can go either way!

It has always seemed sort or weird to me that Trump has a core factual error in his central issue, it’s like if Reagan thought the problem with the Soviets was that they were Muslim

Though I realize this is in part because tech oligarchs are modeling themselves after it, it’s like how mobsters acted different post-GODFATHER

There are no anti-choice Dems in the Senate All 47 Senate Dems voted to kill the trans athlete bill. Just the other day all but Fetterman voted against the Repub spending bill. Do you have any specific & relevant examples for your broad sweeping pronouncements? Or are you just blathering?

He was a McCarthyite carnival barker, understood himself as such, this canonization diminishes his accomplishments in life

Harris has been almost unbelievably consistent RE of trans, the fact that she once rhetorically elided expressly saying “I think we should use taxpayer dollars to trans convicted felons” in response to a gotcha question during an election was a sign she’s a serious politician, not a squish

If you have even a passing familiarity with federal law enforcement practice the idea that you’re going to get a knock on the door from *the FBI* for the equivalent of following Indivisible on Facebook is so ludicrous it sort of immediately disqualifies the person asserting it

The “white moderate” phrase from Letter from Birmingham is the rhetorical equivalent for low-information internet leftists of the “content of their character” line from I Have A Dream It lets you feel superior yelling at the people you wanted yell at, but is incoherent if you have any context

I mean if you lie to people and say that they will get arrested for *planning* to go to a mainstream protest they are going to make the obvious inferences, and also you are making it harder for protest organizers for no reason other than gassing up other low-information activists for clout

He’s got the heart of a poster (laudatory) and the soul of a poster (derogatory)

I have started just outright blocking people who respond to “that’s illegal” with nihilism. It is not helpful, it is not useful, it is not productive.

Not the central thing but the commitment to Courier among the Hawai’i Supreme Court drives me nuts

Expressions of pessimism and fear are not actually a sign of moral seriousness and political sophistication. Quite the opposite. Jean Moulin didn’t put out an editorial in Combat saying “idk guys I think we’re fucked”

One thing that's absolutely f---ing unbearable on this site is that if you dare to point out that Trump is not actually successfully oppressing all of us on every conceivable front, that not *all* is irretrievably lost, a parade of doomers materializes to denounce you. It's counterproductive. Stop.

The “reasonable compromise” was the status quo: a 6th grader can play whatever they want, some hormone treatment requirement for someone who might go to the Olympics. The Republicans want to change this, and the specific change they want is on demand genital inspections for K-12 girls sports

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

This is creating a sort of opt-in permanent underclass of white Protestants (derogatory) in a way that I am really not sure how it cashes out but can’t be good

They don’t make ‘em like they used to (HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES)

I really enjoy thinking about the legacy of the Dirtbag Left every once in a while, to the extent that they accomplished nothing and left behind a host of nihilistic weirdos who love doing cocaine with alt-right podcasters

Young homies, no

One can’t help but note that strong men like Jeremey always seem to say this shit from the safety of their own couches

Postliberalism was fundamentally when you post a lot about liberalism.

The President being disconnected from reality in a fundamental way seems underreported
