November is officially over

It's maddening that it's considered smart politics to meekly mumble these idiotic slogans in response to being called Socialist instead of saying "Yeah asshole it's good when people have enough to live on and it's bad when billionaire sociopaths abuse us all"

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/b...

I find the 'the Democrats won't do anything' doomer line annoying, because the Democrats will be who you make them - look how much the GOP changed over the past decade! Right now the party feels immovable but the moment it has a presidential nominee, it will be whatever that person is.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Mama, please let your babies grow up to be cowboys (cattle rustlers).

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

I think part of why pandemic fiction disappeared overnight is the massive unaddressed global trauma, but part of it is surely that we know how people act in a global pandemic now and it’s just. So. Stupid. You can’t make a compelling human drama out of such idiocy. It’s too silly to be tragic.

“But I have to enable Holocaust denialism because my favorite sports reporters are there”

at the very least, it was the beginning of 25 years of “because I said so” jurisprudence that has completely trashed SCOTUS’ aura of nonpartisanship, which will not be recovered in my lifetime

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

I've often thought that the best revenge for all this fashy misery would be affordable social housing, workers rights, a functional health service, sustainable energy and all the other good stuff they apparently hate. But I do keep glancing thoughtfully at lampposts.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

no money for politicians

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Lots of great replies to this post, but also isn't it amazing how our brains are predisposed to finding animals/people where none exist. Safer than the opposite.

We've got you 👍

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

I think the preponderance of actual nazis on the site owned by an actual nazi is worse than the site where they may be overly concerned about nazis, that's my 2 cents

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

Also Reese's "Crispy Crunchy" or w/e. About the same as 5th Avenue and miles better than Butterfinger.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

ripping up the white house on a whim to build a grand ballroom during a shutdown in which you are illegally firing thousands of workers, with stagflation setting in thanks in large part to your tariffs and willful destruction of the dollar. versailles shit. fiddling while rome burns shit. classic

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

Listen to you, "Wahh I don't want another great depression" well too bad, my hands are tied. Weak men have to create hard times or else the meme doesn't work

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire. He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify. If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

#nokings in Lancaster PA. A terrific march and rally; well attended by thousands in a deep red district.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life. If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution. Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

How is AI going to get smarter if it bases itself on inputs from people who are becoming increasingly lazy thanks to AI? It's a perpetuating cycle of laziness.

"Depends on who you ask" framing is one of the most grating tics in modern political journalism. Objective reality exists and your job is to describe it.

The problem with jokes is that I'm stupid

What if we had another Civil War, but this time over imaginary things?

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Whatever state you live in, if you vote for a Republican for governor, you’re voting to have your National Guard stolen.

This, to me, is so telling. When proven wrong, Bari Weiss invites her critic on a podcast. The rotten fruit of the "debate" tree, the fetishization of debate as a conversation in which one "wins" or "loses," "owns" or is "owned." A side-effect of capitalism's anti-intellectual higher ed arms race.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Trump: we will do project 2025 Harris: he will do project 2025 Public: oh that’s bad Trump: I’m not gonna do it have never heard of it Harris: he’s still gonna do it Media: no one can predict the future 77 pinocchios
