if you have a phone conversation on speaker in public, it's only fair to let the people around you chime in since you're forcing them to be involved anyway

A perfect anecdote for both sidesism doesn't ex-- Wait--

I guess Thom has been asleep for 10+ yrs - voted mostly w Trump through it though

more from Jesse - “ now bring Trump’s cock into the picture and I’m all in, will worship that little teeny mushroom “

There’s only 1 reason why you wouldn’t comply with this.

There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never negatively profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

I love that Lush has left Meta and X and joined Bluesky!

GREAT SCOOP from @michaelscherer.bsky.social: National Park Service projects are now being defunded to cover President Trump’s Washington renovation spree. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The exact language used against Italians, Jews, various groups of Eastern Europeans….. 100 years ago. Ku klux klan talking point

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.

the entire conservative media apparatus was born out of a conviction that what happened to Nixon should never again happen to a Republican president and it worked and they now feel comfortable enough to admit it

If Tom Emmer were my representative, pretty sure I'd be calling his district office every single day to complain that he's an embarrassing racist asshole.

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

when AI companies go bankrupt

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

Pathetic shit. Completely pathetic.

Happy 60th birthday to Hope Sandoval, seen here performing on the roof of EMI London with David Roback for ITV’s ‘The Beat’ in 1994 *ੈ✩‧₊˚

The self-proclaimed free speech absolutist...

Wtf Is this shit. Rs are in complete disarray, facing epic mid-term losses and instead of rallying to protect voting rights and encourage turnout, mainstream Dems are pulling a “Hold my beer”

can someone ask these elected officials if they understand what elections are

Q: Why did you give a plea deal to a child sex predator? Do you have anything to say about that? Paxton: (No response.) Q: Should he be registered as a sex offender in Texas? Paxton: (No response.) Q: What do you have to say to the victim of Adam Hoffman? Paxton: (No response.)

I'm not sure if Ken Paxton heard these questions about the pedophile he pardoned, so everyone in Texas should keep asking Paxton about the pedophile he pardoned, and maybe ask other Republicans about the pedophile Paxton pardoned and see if local media cares about the pedophile Paxton pardoned and

NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS

This is what Karoline Leavitt said about the Housing bill yesterday — the one that Trump refused to sign today.

Train the birds to drop seeds.

If a cat sits on you, you cancel your plans. That's the rule.

the dumbest story in history has somehow gotten dumber

Whether it's Republicans wanting to cut poor children off from SNAP benefits or Democrats wanting to cut Donald Trump's children off from defense contracts, both parties want to cut children off from taxpayer money.

I actually think this bears repeating: Our Director of National Intelligence was just shown to *literally be taking secretive orders about what precisely to do and say in politics* from a scary cult leader in Hawaii And it wasn’t even front-page news How am I supposed to react to this?

Any Democrat willing to take these monster’s money should be ferociously purged from the party.

As NPS drains the Reflecting Pool for repairs, thunderstorms and strong rains work to replenish the water.

“.. and in return he mocked their efforts behind their backs ..” @wired.com #$META #$AMZN www.wired.com/story/trump-...

These reporters need to grow balls. Trump said you couldn’t cut it with a knife. Ask him that. Ask him where the security footage is. How long did it take?

“Now Erica is only 37. Those 3 years make a difference.”

"I don't think Putin is serious about negotiations. The goal remains Ukrainian victory. Ukraine must be given whatever it takes to win the war.” - Sanna Marin (Former PM of 🇫🇮)

Those monuments represent something larger that one person. Larger than Trump & he recognizes that. They must therefore be made smaller even if it means reducing them to ruins. But also, bsky.app/profile/fran...

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

the weirdest thing about the constant debate about how candidates can win campaigns is that like... we can look and see who non-traditional voters have gotten excited about. zohran. aoc. bernie. even walz sold a million fucking camo hats when he actually came out and said these guys are weird.

It really is fucking wild that Trump is having people arrested for putting a finger in a pool when he pardoned the people who full out trashed the US Capitol

US should be clear. Zero support for Israel until men like this are gone from the government.

i have a bomb

“Fuck me?! Fuck You!”

I kinda have to seriously question anyone who still have a significant presence on twitter. Every kind thought, every nice comment by anyone is inevitably met with hate, and racism, homophobia, and more are just around the corner. Other platforms ad dicey, Twitter is just grotesque. 1/

I can't speak for other people but I call Elon a Nazi because he walks and talks and acts and even salutes like one. Hope that helps clear it up.
