"To find an analogy for bloody-minded blather on this level, one has to look to petty tyrants like Idi Amin, who really may be the historical figure who most resembles Trump." www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-horror

turns out the guy was a Syrian immigrant named Ahmed al Ahmed who got his Australian citizenship in 2022 www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Jewish time is cyclical so in Purim we celebrate defeating militant fanatics by assimilation into a different cosmopolitan empire

I have never seen the movie Synecdoche New York, but trump destroying the White House to build a colossal ballroom as his legacy, that turns into an interminable boondoggle as his physical health deteriorates and he loses touch with reality, feels like Synecdoche New York

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

North Ave. Station North. Baltimore, MD. 2025.

rural America is wild, like what do you mean there’s an entire county that’s just the size of 10 apartment buildings? This whole population would be a speck if airdropped into New York City

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Fascinating interview with the satmar rebbe who endorsed mamdani, lots of food for thought. mishpacha.com/the-kingmake...

“And here I hold that a liberal and brotherly welcome to all who are likely to come to the United States is the only wise policy which this nation can adopt”

the most frustrating thing that no one ever stands up to him, because he’s famously a coward who folds at serious pushback! If anyone had interrupted and said “I won’t allow you to speak that way to her” he would have fallen out of his chair

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your roast walnut!

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

sushi restaurants: “do you want soy sauce?? I’m not even listening to your answer! Take it all!” burger restaurants: “ohhh you want ketchup do you? To get one packet you must answer my riddles three…”

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.

Night night sweet dreamies I know that I may not say it all the time, but I am grateful for all the things you do. Thank you to each & everyone of you for your continued kindness 🐈🧡

Democrats being so soft that they'll take a deal to stop two out of three doesn't erase thay all three are Republican goals

In sept it seemed that maybe the political costs of kicking millions off health insurance would drag Thune et al to deal, today we know kicking ppl off health insurance is so important to Republicans that they will also starve millions and destroy air travel in the country to do it

Van hollen should run for president actually and shouldn’t be in put in the “powerless loser” position

Republicans are trying to destroy the constitution to make Trump king because they hate that we elected a black president, they want to kill SNAP because they falsely believe it only benefits black people, they want to destroy ACA because they hate that it was the achievement of a black president

Please, no more

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
