You Can Kill a Democracy Without a Dictator www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o... With a gift link because I think it is very important for people to understand this:

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Listen, Brendon, it's great comedy. You probably don't get it, because you're a kid, kids don't get jokes. He's a clown, Brendon, he's a great clown, and he's sad. That's funny. Also, doctor didn't know it was him, told him to go see himself. It's a comedy of errors, Brendon.

Deep cut, I like it.

wow, which common vaccine was it?

Our Special Little Boy tore down half the White House. What a scamp.

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

There are no small parts. (Also chuckling at the 3 being in a different font. Like they left it blank, and thought out loud “Hmm, not for children under what, 10? 5? 3? Yeah. 3, let’s say 3.”)

See that red X off the Pacific coast of Colombia? That’s where the US military recently blew up a boat, thousands of miles from the United States. There’s virtually no chance the boat was smuggling drugs into America, if it was even carrying drugs at all.

HUNTRESS WIZARD!?!? Yes!

Assignment for @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com et al.: Donald Trump is old. His life expectancy is 7.78 years.

OK, so we get the state intervening in the market, but not in a socialist way, in a right-wing nationalist way that’s corrupt and corporatist. A social nationalism, if you will. We can workshop the name later.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag “Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management. Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

Updating my LEGO White House

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.” Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”? Or do they just sorta do it?

Republicans lost their entire shit when Cracker Barrel changed its logo. The White House? Not so much.

"New research finds an unexpected shift in heart biomarker to the affirmed gender, challenging long-held assumptions." www.medicalrepublic.com.au/g...

this is hands down the most confusing graphic I have ever seen, I’ve been staring at it for like five full minutes

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

Can we, the owners of the building, maybe respond with the same fury as a landlord who found a renter using a nail to hang a picture?

Oh www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Everyone who carefully constructed obfuscations in politics over the last hundred years must feel like a real dummy. Actually you can call it The Department of Murder. You can post a video of yourself dumping diarrhea on the public. You can go on TV and say "I am stealing from you lol"

To address the trolls and naive critics and defend No Kings first: Literally speaking, the movement is aimed at the people who could rein Trump in but refuse or are afraid to do so. www.offmessage.net/p/a-no-kings...

Apropos of nothing, but "we have to tolerate intolerance if we want to beat the bad guys" is a recipe for becoming the bad guy.

500% less. I struggled through Algebra II, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to be giving me my prescriptions and paying me four times what they cost. He lies without even attempting to make sense at this point.

Especially as a Jew, "has no problem with someone sporting a Nazi tattoo" is one of those little facts about someone that you mentally file away for whenever you encounter them in the future.

It’s like stepping into a funhouse (except with Democratic pundit podcasters, so the opposite of “fun”). Pure brainworms.

For @talkingpointsmemo.com I wrote about the one journalistic skill that bloggers did better than any other writers, which was to get to the fucking point. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/this-...

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

Someone buried this guy in the pet sematary.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting. I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him. Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

Worst “Friday I'm in Love” cover ever.

This ultimately ends with a right-wing billionaire buying it and pushing CNN to the hard right

Put this picture in a billion 2026 ads

I wish Tommy Westphall would imagine something nice like everyone getting healthcare and a raise.

Sorry but it’s not even oppo research when you have a Nazi tattoo and you take your shirt off in public. That’s called excitedly showing everyone your Nazi tattoo

Dems, I bet of you, STOP VOTING FOR TRUMP JUDGES JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Oh hell yeah!

Everything I know about Graham Platner: Was a Blackwater mercenary Has a Nazi tattoo Did some oyster farming

if you want me to extend grace to a schlubby white millennial man with questionable tattoos and a history of incoherent social media posts he better be slugging 40 homers in the bigs every year that's all i have to say

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

UPDATE: I’ve graduated from “nobody” to “distortionist”

How long can it possibly take to tattoo a giant Nazi tottenkopf on your chest? Five, maybe ten minutes? Very spur of the moment.

BTW, that Mitchell and Webb “Are we the baddies?” bit continues by explaining that the hat was also purchased in Croatia with some buddies on a drunken romp.

it's cool how we have a government that 4chans constantly on twitter and shows off videos of the president shitting on americans while also being like, "make sure nobody sees us destroying the white house" this is super normal stuff for highly stable nations

Every day it’s “Federal judge allows Trump/ICE to launch humans with a trebuchet”
