“The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.”

Fwiw, I think Democrats could run on a Project 2029 that is a slate of reforms to make sure Project 2025 style attacks on the functioning/accountability of government never happen again and it would be enormously popular.

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Headcanon accepted!

My worlds are colliding! #mrkringle #forgottenlives

Is the study of Arabian myths and folklore called “Djinniology”? If not, why not?

So, is this like “Why do people like singing along to ‘Sweet Caroline’?”

Someone needs to start asking GOP reps if they’re comfortable having a Speaker who’s clearly so oblivious to current events.

Sometimes I wonder if he’s building a tomb. But I think that would require some grasp of his own mortality.

Preparing for tomorrow

Watching the latest episode of Gen V, and I feel like I’m half a season ahead of where the writers were probably intending me to be.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Just realized how bitterly ironic it is that Trump was so eager to point the finger at “fake news!” during his first term, only to completely buy into it in his second.

AOC: Stephen Miller is a heartless, spineless, short fascist who is doing his best to bring ruin upon our country so that he can fulfill his pathetic adolescent dreams of brutalizing anyone different than he is. He is repugnant, dangerous, and pathetic. Miller: Who are you calling “short”?

People on the left should be brainstorming what they would propose in the event of a constitutional convention. I am sure the right has people thinking about this.

Hegseth should see about a spot at the Riyadh comedy festival.

Senator? Congressperson? What would it take for you to call for his impeachment? Where do you draw the line?

Frog blast the vent core!

I wish to be clear: I am going to celebrate that man’s death.

"The fascists want us depleted, numb, and cynical." - I keep this top of mind daily and I actively refuse.

Share a favorite TV show character that isn’t the main character.

The first thing everyone in this country who is anti-fascist can do now is to join something where people are already gathering to address any issue. Can't find anything you want to join, then make your own thing and invite people to join you. This is not a time for Lone Rangers.

Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others. I promise you, it is financial suicide.

Every so often, I have to remind myself that this exists: youtu.be/iRC6aqxqq9c?...

“But they were all of them deceived, for another mambo was made.”

I have been a Star Trek fan for decades. But Paramount +? I want nothing to do with you. Strange New Worlds, season 3? I did not wish for it to end this way. You have been caught in the crossfire.

If your naming of your enemy ignores something as fundamental to US history as gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement, you have yourself a useless answer. "Red states" are not the problem. There are marginalized people fighting for liberation, for justice, for their lives in every single one.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

Fool me once, Chibnall.

Does Bel Biv Devoe think that Sir Mix-a-Lot is far too gullible?

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

Y’know, I’ve had birthday parties that were under-attended. I didn’t bomb a foreign country in response. Get some therapy, dude, for all our sakes.

This is so humiliating that Stephen Miller is in a chair in a corner somewhere watching

Renton, WA

Dialogue that should have been: Doctor: And what happens to me if I don’t cooperate? Rani: Nothing. Enjoy your bohemian irrelevance - I know how much you value it.

I’m sure this episode was super-resonant for those familiar with Eurovison, but this was all that I could think of:

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

We have friends everywhere.

Did you hear that the Pigeon King was overthrown? There was a coo.

We saw a lot of "what to do if you see ICE" posts, primarily stating "yelling LA MIGRA" as an option, so we thought it was helpful to share a couple of things you can do in the case of you encountering ICE FREE RESPURCES HERE: drive.google.com/drive/mobile...

Yeah, I feel like one can make the case that that counts as a resignation.

I don’t think I can quantify it at this point, but I feel like Lucky Day continues RTD’s tendency to pick good targets, but only landing glancing blows against them.

“The Klan don’t exist no more” “I know nothing about Project 2025” “Roe v. Wade is settled law” #SinnersMovie

Pete Hegseth suddenly discovering that there’s a meeting with JD Vance on his schedule.

I’d give it even odds that those folks were the Gods of Rrrragnarrrrok.

“Behold, my new invention! The Poverty Intensifier!”

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
