This can easily spiral into armed conflict in Minnesota is not a sentence I ever expected to type outside of writing fiction.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

Who is ‘you’ here? If there is someone that didn’t know or care about drone strikes the world over lo these many years, but now does care about murdering people in boats, does that make it not murder? Is there a name for this kind of bad faith bullshit?

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

Big difference between King shit and King Shit.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly 🧵

It was definitely the CIA and probably tue KGB who really perfected the art of making a fascist regime look less like one and get all offended when called one. As opposed to the original fascists who were proud to be fascists.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Is it legal to murder people on a whim? The Daily takes the obvious answer to this question and submerges it into a morass of second guessing, bad faith arguments, and ponderous ‘interesting point’ sighs.

Goose: “Difficult how?” Man in vest starts to run away, Goose pursues him Goose: “Difficult how, motherfucker?”

Apropos of nothing, there is something weirdly evocative about these early-mid 90's Jolly Ranchers ads (when they were square!) 🧵

I was away from social media for a bit this summer, and I’m really disheartened and sad to come back here and see rampant copium.

This is an act of war. The Republicans have started, in earnest, a second civil war. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Newsom has proved that he will set aside every liberal ideal you think he holds for the sake of power. You simply can’t trust him. I don’t object to him forcefully opposing Trump where he can, but the reason people qualify their support is that he’s a snake.

Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already

The thing is that there are a lot of stages. And if you can't call out the early stages for what they are, a lot of people won't, and didn't, take them seriously as early stages of something worse, at all. Also a lot of early stages are intentional, not incidental, harm.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

Israel is a rogue state - don’t let it drag us into World War III

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

It's amazing how many people are all "marketplace of ideas!!1!" until people choose not listen to them, and suddenly they're like "you know what market we should have? The company store"

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

This fucking paper

Just asking questions

“You don’t hear about sanctuary cities in our heartland” is a “we had to destroy the village in order to save it” level utterance.

I’ve seen versions of this for decades now - basically, ‘don’t play into their hands.’ The problem is they just lie. Doesn’t matter what you do. They lie. Even if they didn’t, if you’re always choosing your actions based on fear of your adversaries’ countermoves, you will never have the initiative.

ICE needs to be destroyed root and branch. We created a police force to treat a non crime as a crime. Through ever increasing draconian methods of enforcing this lie, we trained them to be ultra nationalist thugs.

Supporters of this think or know someone else will be the wage slave.

The dems need to put up articles of impeachment now.

I emailed chuck's office last week asking for a donation to help me fight the administration.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Department of Government Efficiency

Where are the big think pieces from high profile pundits about the federal government policing language and censoring speech? I saw approximately 10 million such pieces about critical race theory and cancel culture. Is the answer to this question not obvious?

Even the most divorced from reality people must experience the consequences of cause and effect - especially when their demagogue so singularly owns a particular course of action. The tariffs are all Trump. They can’t be rhetorically palmed off on anyone else. And the impact hurts his followers.

It’s crazy to live in the (completely interwoven) troika of 1.) the most advanced, effective and and wide-ranging medicine we’ve ever conceived of 2.) an utterly corrupt and untrustworthy medical business combine and 3.) batshit crazy dangerous woo woo ideologues making federal health care policy.

Counterpoint: We have a king now, and the goal of the civil war has never been fully achieved.

Wait, what? Some dudes staged a live production of Hamlet during the Covid lockdown, but shot entirely inside the game Grand Theft Auto? And made a documentary? What?? (96% positive on Rotten Tomatoes and it's playing this week at the Drafthouse. So, uh, off I go...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OloH...

This has limited practical applications but it's important to remember that when illegal things are deemed legal, no they're not, they're still illegal. It's still plain-text illegal for a traitor & insurrectionist to be elected president, just for example. No one can force you to pretend otherwise

THE TIME IS NOW - - - TUESDAY

Elon thinks he bought the presidency (he’s not wrong) and that he’s indispensable to the center if gravity on the right (he’s not wrong) and he’s turning off the money faucet to control a faction that is expressing criticism of him.
