Can you imagine telling someone we fought the second Korean War over Yoon breaking his brain on far right K-YouTube?

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

Russian Liberal behavior

Racism aside, there is nothing that the Chinese Communist Party wants more than for America to continue to be run by stupid hicks like this woman whose careers are dedicated to flushing every competitive advantage we have down the toilet.

Lorenzo Salgado lived here longer than I’ve been alive, married to his wife of 30 years. Worked a blue collar job building houses to put his three kids through college. A real American and the kind of man they tell you you’re supposed to be. Fascism is so perverse.

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

A new court filing suggests that Border Patrol lied about the basis of a traffic stop that led to the shooting of a US citizen, a German tourist, and a Border Patrol agent. Only when cases go to court do we find out about DHS lies and its unlawful tactics come to light.

📍 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed during an ICE encounter. Advocates and his family are calling for accountability and an independent investigation looking into his death. The case is adding to growing scrutiny of deaths connected to immigration enforcement operations. #AbuseOfPowerWatch

Bari Weiss blocking a longtime correspondent from doing a Nigel Farage investigation and reassigning it to her handpicked British import who defends Epstein associate Peter Mandelson is yet more proof that she is a political hire on a political mission

One of the first things Facebook’s algorithm showed me today was this propaganda post by Patriot Front. It’s not just that FB is platforming fascists. They are algorithmically PROMOTING and amplifying them.

there's a certain sort of archetype of guy where you can basically predict in advance is more committed to in-group/out-group dynamics w/r/t looking avant-garde than they are to any sort of left or liberal politics

The treatment of Afghans who helped American forces during the war is one of the most disturbing, upsetting actions of either of Trump‘s terms

by force of habit susan collins says she's "troubled" by allegations before voting for graham platner

Jesus Christ

The real great replacement is that they’re trying to purge immigrants who came hear seeking the American promise and replace them with white supremacist freaks

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

The US is not the only country capable of flubbing accountability for people like this.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Nice job asshole

I think it’s fair to say that, as a nation, we’ve simply normalized Trumpism and its flagrant corruption. If you’re ceding the moral high ground on corruption, then I think you have to acknowledge that you’re doing so.

After waiting nearly 15 years for justice, a group of Syrian torture survivors watched on Monday as a court in Vienna found two former Syrian officials guilty of charges related to their roles in a brutal crackdown against the Arab Spring uprising.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

The Brazilian men’s national team are the Atlanta falcons of football

this kind of corruption is unsustainable

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

A fight breaks out!! Behind me in line, two men get physical. The line screams for the police. "They're grabbing women, they're peeing in public!" someone shouts National Guard wades in to grab him (them?) as the crowd chants "fuck him up!!"

swifties is it girlboss to be friends with concentration camp wardens

apparently they told people to go to the department of commerce for shelter but the doors are locked, and ngl that’s a good bit. say what you will about the big guy, but he hates his supporters as much as we do

thousands of americans finally learning how much of our govt actually is running rn

“…the record is clear on this much: those who have bet against Black Americans claiming their rightful place in this country have always lost.”

This country is in the midst of a national mental health crisis.

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.

Still can’t post gifs from my phone.

There’s a technical term for “the most senior Catholic in the U.S. government.” In the Church, they call that a “layperson.”

Announced during a historic heat wave. These guys are buffoons.

the country grew in the 19th and 20th centuries by simply importing people from everywhere else in the world after giving them a cursory inspection for diseases and if anything we could automate ellis island today

oh, no, okay, i can see the problem here: i don't think i'm kinder or nicer than the average x user, i think i'm *better* than they are. common mistake, happy to clear that up.

Early in Trump's first term, David Frum wrote that every time Trump and MAGA say "the deep state" you should hear "rule of law," then it'll make more sense. That stuck with me. And I thought of it again as an unqualified and unconfirmed director of national intelligence conducts political purges.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

A strange article in Nature, which appears to lay the blame for falling trust in science at the feet of ... scientists. Without a mention of the years-long assault on expertise by the media and politicians.

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

I honestly do think it's pretty sad Trump has basically destroyed the celebration of the USA's 250th anniversary because he is incapable of not making everything about himself. 1776 was very flawed but also a genuinely important moment worthy of celebration!

For four years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has largely managed to shield the population from the economic consequences of his war in Ukraine. No more. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/vlad...

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

Forgot to post this yesterday, but: Happy Effete, Liberal College Professor Saves The Union Day to all who celebrate

Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado dismissed two officials who had opposed freeing an election denier who had tampered with voting machines.

If DSA-backed representatives undermined Democratic legislative priorities, I would be more receptive to this line of thinking, but the Squad are largely loyal and reliable partisan soldiers. It's Blue Dogs that consistently poke the eyes of leadership and trash talk the Party to CNN.
