One thing I learned from watching The Crown is that (fancy) British people simply don’t pronounce *any* vowels in the word ‘Saint’

I LOL’d

people will say "dems need back off unpopular positions to win", then suggest *abortion rights* like, what? that our one solid wedge issue in red states

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

At Fourth World Farm, we have rematriated over 70 native species, which encourages the repopulation of the valley in and of itself; everything that has been erased gets to seed and go back out into the zone. #IAMTHEWEST buff.ly/IVMy5Sg

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Every accusation is a confession

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

Violent right wingers stormed the Capitol on live television and beat the shit out of cops to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power after Trump lost. The fuck is he on about

For any other elder millenials who may be experiencing a Counting Crowsaissance, this is a good read 🐦‍⬛

She’s also written about it here: cybelecanterel.substack.com/p/lost-in-th...

the retroactive claim by those like ezra klein that Kirk was some sort of icon of democracy and peaceful debate is a lie, and it's a dangerous lie. framing fascist violence as fine and good and ideal creates more space for political violence, not less.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

oh well, onward and upward

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

I submit that “good faith” actually means something and shouldn’t be overcharitably thrown around for people whose entire deal is the exact opposite

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

The fake ones that were floating around had large breasts. That’s where even the fakers’ heads were at.

Couuuuld someone take him up on this please I wanna see something

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

🗣️ FREE DC! ❤️

White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

Keep yelling at RFK, it’s working

This @washingtonpost.com editorial doesn’t make it past the second paragraph without a glaring (and telling) factual error. President Washington didn’t create the War Department in 1789; *Congress* did: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Stephen Colbert, 2006

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

Struggling with the work-fascism balance

This is egregious good lord

The spox denial is funny bc it’s like buddy they are literally hopping out of specific cars with license plates that people can see and record, what are you even trying to refute?

They're right. RFK Jr. is a serious threat to public health and our lives. He is undermining vaccines, boosting dangerous conspiracy theories, and decimating lifesaving research. Resign or be fired. He needs to go.

lots of stuff! but most notably,

Inadvertently paused Miss Rachel looking like she’s staring down the opposing bench after draining a 3

In Toronto, for largely unrelated reasons, we lost the Science Centre last year and I can confirm that it is a painful and shitty absence

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Mayor Brandon Johnson: The the president is the last person who cares about violence on Chicago's South and West sides. "There is too much violence in Chicago not because we have too many immigrants but because we have too many guns."

Why you little!!!
