I feel like we all knew, but it’s nice to see the chart.

It's almost as if having an obvious crook as president - one who is proud of scamming the system in multiple ways - might have some long-term negative effects even outside of the realm of public policy.

Nuclear-armed criminal has opinions about the Pope:

The Opening Arguments podcast doesn’t tend to be loud ACAB content, but man, in the most recent episode (“Peaceful Protesters Are Facing Decades in Prison,” Apr 13, 2026), the authorities sure are making that case for them.

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

Okay, this kind of rules.

Before I moved, my neighbors were a Mexican family. They spoke to me in what little English they could, and I spoke in what little Spanish I could. I thought it was sweet. They were really nice.

Here's where we are.

Imagine giving Christ's face to to a thing known to make situations worse by usually agreeing with the querant. "In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him. And Man gave unto God a multitude of names, that he might be Lord of all the Earth when it was suited to Man."

I still fondly remember my friend's adorable little son, excitedly pointing at the El train and saying, "Frain! Frain!"

Hopefully not spoilery thought from The Pitt: Duke fucking rules.

Trump called Iran’s 10-point plan a working basis from which to negotiate. If that’s true, this is a staggering defeat of the USA. But I wonder: does the fact that Trump will definitely ignore the plan make it less of a defeat, or more?

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

I listen to a bunch of political podcasts. Because our government is run by racist idiots, the Wong Kim Ark SCOTUS decision is getting brought up a lot today. Problem: I listen to my podcasts at 1.3x speed, so it sounds like they’re talking about the Wonky Mark decision.

Poor kid. As devastating as this is, I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s going through this kind of stuff. And remember: Liam is far from the only kid to go through this.

I am so tired of seeing uninformed posts about Iran starting this war 47 years ago. When the actual truth is that it was the USA that started the war 73 years ago.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

If you’re horrified that ICE is so heartless that they might do something like this, and are feeling like ICE should be defunded, or even like these agents should go to jail, you’re right. But you should also know that regular-ass cops do stuff like this too.

The Boymom discourse baffles me. My mother raised three boys, and she would not have put up with any of this nonsense. We cleaned up after ourselves, we cooked. Mom did not put up with us disrespecting women or girly things. She was a ‘70s-era feminist—she wasn’t about to raise misogynists.

I mean, you don't really need a translator

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.

If you don’t want Iranian-Americans to grow up to be sleeper agents for Iran, maybe don’t treat them like terrorists from the moment they’re born?

‪ @highway62.bsky.social‬ called this "cocaine behavior," and I can't imagine a better description.

This is what I've been saying. Term limits are good for executives like the president, because it keeps them from becoming life-long dictators. Otherwise, term limits shred all but the shortest-term plans, and the only people left managing long-term plans are outfits like the Heritage Foundation.

We live in bizarro world.

Progressives need to stop shitting on each others' methods--we need them all, working in concert. We need progressive voters, AND memes, AND donations, AND soccer moms marching, AND celebrities who use their platforms to spread the word, AND the black bloc. We need all of us, together.

We might be better off as a planet as we stop thinking of it as "appeasement," and start thinking of it as "encouragement." We're *encouraging* tyrants to be tyrants.

They say "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Trump is definitely stupid, and he's definitely destroying the US. But still, I have to wonder: is it because of his stupidity, or because of his benefactors' malice?

Yeah, specifically 900 tens of thousands. They marched many, many centimeters.

And the ceasefire terms the US wants look a whole lot like the deal Barack Obama made with Iran, the one Trump promptly tore up. But now we’ve bombed Iranian schools and hospitals, so this is better I guess. 🤦‍♂️

(This one was for the theatre kids.)

I said "good turnout" to the older lady next to me, and she said "I think we have enough people to go to the White House and drag him out, and I think that's what it's going to take."

Ha!

next time we should try a government staffed by people who are good at their jobs to see if things work out better

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

While you were partying, he studied the blade. While you were having premarital sex, he was joining ICE.
