As I said before, Americans have always lived with bigots. We have always debated bigots. The problem now is that there is clear alignment between bigotry & party. As a person who lived with an alcoholic, Klein's take feels like co-dependence. 1/3

MICHIGAN: “Multiple people shot at a Mormon church 50 miles north of Detroit… church on fire…” apnews.com/article/morm...

Multiple people were shot at a Michigan church, which was also set on fire, authorities say abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-...

A shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday morning left “multiple” people injured, the police said, adding that the church was on fire as the authorities responded.

I have been framing Trump's "flood the zone" tactic less as a strategy and more like a con for a long time. He's playing 3 Card Monte. He is a conman and a thief. He's not a strategist.

It's not a ballroom. He's building a monument to himself. The "ballroom" will dwarf the White House.

Chicago. This has no other purpose than to intimidate and be a show of force.

I will admit when I'm wrong. If it turns out we have a new Civil War and it's totally fine and everyone loves it, I will make a follow-up video apologizing for my mistake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMya...

🚨If you think this cannot happen to you - then you are mistaken. Eventually, your demographic will NOT save you. If you do not care about the people it is happening to now, then you are no better than ICE. You are not more important than anyone disappeared today. 👏🏻Wake👏🏻Up👏🏻People! 1/2

Sweet Dreams, America! A little something from the other side to the Atlantic to take us into a Friday night. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/GP0X0CRMZLU?...

Things men used to do together that didn't involve hate or oppression: Poker night Jam sessions D&D Bowling leagues Doo-wop/singing groups Hoops, Handball, Frisbee, flag football Lodges and Clubs Watch "the game" together Hang out on their porches, stoops Lonely? Seek fellowship with other men.

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

Trump is a moron but he has smart people in the shadows around him. They chose Comey because Democrats won't cry about it. He's a turd in our punchbowl because of Hillary and hEr eMaiLs. If they'd chosen Merrick Garland, Bob Mueller, or Jack Smith, we'd lose our shit.

This is so validating. I grew up poor and attended a small private liberal arts college and then was recruited by an elite graduate program at an R1 university. I got my first 6 figure job and absolutely hated it. I am very social justice minded and felt dead inside. This paragraph sums it up.

I haven't watched local news or live network TV in at least 15 years, so... yes?

Cute little strawberry beads.

No more masks. No more racial profiling. No more disappearing people. No more snatching people from their court hearings. No more snatching people in front of their kids.

Oh goody. They bought the twin toddlers pianos. I live in a detached single family home. Not an apartment.

Can't help but think the Tylenol thing is the nexus of MAHA eugenics and the Christian Nationalism of Project 2025.

I was non-verbal until I was 3, and I almost flunked out of school until a teacher recognized in 11th grade that I was understimulated. From that point on, I thrived. I have a masters and a good career, 2 successful kids, and a good life. I don't need to be "cured." I just needed to be seen.

Please stop making me listen to Ted Cruz do his impersonation of a mafia threat. Please.

"Deplorable" was too nice.

I'd add that gerrymandering and disenfranchisement are part of this plan. They claim a mandate. The people voted for this. We are nearly 50/50 division between voters, but it's more like 30/30/40 because a huge chunk of voters don't vote.

The myth that Amish and Cuban people are "immune" from autism is absurd and thoroughly debuncked. As an autistic person, I think I am safe speaking for most people with Autism when I say "Go fuck yourself, Eugenist Kennedy, Jr."

I watched this whole video. She was a Mormon, Republican, MAGA, and Christian Nationalist/White Supremacist. Ignore the click-baity title. It's pretty authentic and sincere.

I used to hold these Zoom listening sessions for (wannabe) allies of LGBTQIA+ people where attendees could talk about their relationships and ask questions about everything from gender to microaggressions to pronouns. They were so good, so helpful. I really miss them.

Good.

Yes, and in the US, Charles Lindbergh was an America First Nazi sympathizer. When we entered WWII, he wanted to fly for the Air Force. Roosevelt denied him because once you go Nazi, you can never go back.

I was just talking to my daughter about the new bookstore opening in my town. Ultimately, we concluded readers are abandoning Amazon and going to brick and mortar bookstores and libraries. The left reads books

We hear about the loss of third places, but with homeschooling/online schooling and remote work, we're on path to eliminate second places, too. Humans cannot live in isolation. We are social animals. The internet will fill the void and it is largely unregulated.

@chenoweth.bsky.social if 3.5% is a tipping point for social mobilization on the protest or resistance side of things, isn't it also the tipping point for more nefarious goals?

My favorite antifa member

We must guard our freedoms.

Highlights of the President's royal visit.

You know how if you put a laundry basket on your hip, you're transported back in time? Or pull a cardigan tightly around you and fold your arms, you become a worried wife of a seafarer during a storm? I have a chicken boiling on the stove and can hear my neighbor's babies (3) crying next door.

I had a dream about Dog Day Afternoon last night. I think the text messages between Tyler Robinson and his roommate prompted it.

I'm sure the 22 year old grocery clerk will root out anti-fascism wherever it hides.

Prosperity hens... bluebirds of happiness

This was absolutely the best (and most terrifying) deep dive into the far right and directionless nihilist black pill culture I have ever heard. Did this exist before the internet or did the internet give "the shy loners" next door a place to gather?

ABC was the first major institution to fold. Remember they paid rather than back George Stephanopolous. I'm not surprised one bit. NBC is probably safe, at least for now. They have the uncut versions of The Apprentice in their quiver.

Thanks?

What everyone should know.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. When my cat gets his tongue stuck in the out position 2. Pineapple popsicles 3. The smell of petrichor 4. A good pen 5. Perfectly cooked fried chicken

In these texts: He exonerates the old man Identifies his trans relationship Identifies his drop point Identifies the gun Talks about the scope Says he changed clothes Talks about pre-meditation Talks about obstructing justice Gives a motive It's all very conclusive.

This is not how Gen Z texts. My love? No.

I am sorry to hear that Robert Redford has died, but if memorialization has to be in my timeline, I'd rather it be his. A truly American treasure.

Stalking Samantha is one of the scariest true crime series I have ever watched.
