just bleak, man

The elections last week proved that Trump's success in 2024 was best explained as a *dealignment* in politics, hastened by but not only due to inflation — but not a Trump *realignment*. This week, polls showed POTUS slipping further w/ Gen Z and Latinos www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Sorry to everyone who wanted to exploit gay fear for substack clicks, better luck next time. apnews.com/article/supr...

It's going to continue to go down. Agonizingly slowly in social media time. Quickly in political time.

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

These CEOs think they can outrun and crush Woke 2.0 but they will lose. It will come for them all and will demand contrition.

CHICAGO (AP) — Judge says she will require immigration agents in Chicago area to wear body cameras after turbulent protests.

[ #oc ] Mantis guy I kept from an adopt batch, yet again. No name or lore yet ugh #art #illustration #anthro #furryart #bug #characterdesign #ocsky

He looks like absolute shit.

Woke 2.0 is going to hit like 80s crack

its very cathartic to see Republicans in Disarray stories

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

No, seems weak.

If nothing else, I think doomers and people who constantly post about how Trump is a godking should take a deep breath and watch the GOP flail, panic, and ultimately at some point in the future capitulate and wonder if they're being honest with themselves Hell, it might improve your quality of life

if we make it through the night without wreckers fucking it up, this whole thing is going to have been an incredibly embarrassing episode for DHS

Zach Bryan wrote an anti ICE song. officially declaring Woke 2 in full effect.

Read that number again. Only 43 families in a school with 160,000 students. Even if we're generous with the number of kids these families have, that number still pales in comparison to how many families had NO issue with LGBTQ+ education. We outnumber them. Stand strong.

it would not be the worst outcome if all these guys turned away from talking about politics and drive their low-info listeners back from the polls

BREAKING: Illinois has filed suit to block Trump's deployment of the military to Chicago. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge puts brakes on cuts to FEMA grants for New York, other blue states www.newsday.com/long-island/...

we Americans are dumb, sure. but we're not this dumb. im sorry but this is the type of shit amerifats laugh at when it's "baghdad bob" and i guarantee you virtually no one is fooled by it. this is weakness and desperation

"Allowed to do that" what a fucking waste of space

State AGs Defend Trans Americans in Stunning Rebuke to Trump’s FTC www.assignedmedia.or... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Just to keep banging my drum: I think the Trump administration using every possible government website to blame the shutdown on the Democrats is a sign they’re really nervous that this is going to blow up in their faces. It’s once again a show of weakness, not strength.

good news: they're repainting the montrose rainbow crosswalk today! story tk

just absolutely bizzare that the guy who i watched make fun of bad youtube intros in his room in like 2016 is now in the top 50 most famous people in the world and also does borderline satanic shit like this daily

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness. The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires. So they go for the media-bait illusions of power. Like this. Profoundly weak flex.

Basically let's be real here: by taking Trump and Miller's opinion of how powerful and unstoppable they are at face value and amplifying it, you are literally helping them more than rw types cheering them on. Stop it.

“if you so much as touch one of our federal officers you will go to prison” not really borne out by the DC or LA prosecution records there, slugger

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

A tiny fraction of the TV-watching audience was aware of who Sinclair Broadcasting is and I think Sinclair Broadcasting was, in the medium and long terms, much better suited by this arrangement. But Sinclair wants to change that in the least favorable possible context for them

Important to note that Congress has never passed any law giving the President authority to designate anything as a “domestic terrorist organization.” As a result, this would appear to have no direct legal effect beyond acting as a statement of policy for the Executive Branch.

doomers: there’s not going to be elections in America ever again me: if they can’t even cancel an entertainer due to popular pushback what the fuck makes you think they can cancel elections

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

COMPUTER PARTY!!! 💻🎉 #ocart #ocsky #robotart #vaporwave

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

If you’ve got ~60k followers and you’re blasting out shit like this, you are doing fascists’ work for them, making people think they’ve already won. It’s a complete abdication of the responsibility that comes with an audience.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through. Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours. Linking resources below

I like to think this is the kinda jacket he’d vibe with in 64 #starfox

trying my fucking best to not caption it as "is he stupid"

in light of the kimmel news remember when klippenstein said the reason colbert was cancelled was for being too unfunny and there was no possible political reason behind it? i do!

now, my mild doomposting and feeling sorry for myself being done, i do think this is both a massive overreach that will blow back and also a sign of fear and weakness. coupled with the farcical circus they've made of charlie kirk's death, i'd bet approval ratings take a further dive by next week.
