A fanatical child rapist supporter decided to hurl racists insults and attack a teenage girl after she insulted his dear leader Donald Trump, he was then immediately beaten by a crowd of children and teens.

"For decades, libertarian thinkers had argued that free markets, left unrestrained, would naturally outperform any system of government. But what if the problem wasn’t just government interference in markets—what if the very concept of democracy itself was flawed?"

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

Ruin a movie by replacing one word in the title with "Sausage" My Sausage Totoro

This is the cuntiest Ramza I've ever seen.

This is what you need to know about fascism:

*Watching 10,000 videos taken of the same horrifying murder* "You know what we need? Body cams"

Lol perfect post. Folks, this is exactly the future we were promised. Trump (who was Trump in the 1980s too) is exactly where thinking people expected Reagan+the Moral Majority+total deregulation would end up.

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

To spell it out, I personally believe Evan Soloman, @evansolomon.bsky.social , "Minister for AI" & former CBC host who was let go for unbecoming conduct selling art to guests, including to Mark Carney, used his platform to stress the ongoing use of a CSAM generating social media platform is fine.

No risk of this levelling up any time soon. tenpages.github.io/us-level/us....

When an entire country has main character syndrome.

Democrats are going to sweep into power and be like "We want to work with the republicans to make ICE good."

Kong's toaster says it is 'very sorry for burning' Kong's toast. The metal-and-plastic machine mass-produced in a factory to 'cook slices of bread' expounded that it takes full responsibility for the error and sincerely seeks forgiveness.

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

Make a Bond movie casual Dr. OK

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

What actor's facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life?

if man mega, why man smol?

Media monopolies are bad for people's brains.

Seconded. That last line hits hard.

Just watched a TikTok from a Canadian ER doc blaming housless people for the ER crisis. Cool story bud, go take another sick day & short staff the ER again cuz you won't wear a mask or demand clean air standards during an ongoing, immune system disrupting, airborne pandemic.

"It is clear that supply and demand curves are not sufficient for understanding the housing crisis. We can build all we want, but if we are building houses as financial assets and not as places for people to live prices are going to stay high."

At the 12 second mark, that camera operator called an audible and just said "fuck it, the lane is clear, no tripping hazards, I'm winning a Sports Emmy for cinematography right now"

This is a professor at Rutgers who teaches a class on the history of anti-fascism. He also teaches about human rights. He has received multiple death threats and been doxed. He is relocating to Europe for his safety. This is where we are in the US now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

I mean, this is literally the reason Bsky has more than like 5 users, so yes.

To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

Fantastic essay by Roxane Gay: Civility Is a Fantasy. “Calling for civility is about exerting power. It is a way of reminding the powerless that they exist at the will of those in power and should act accordingly. It is a demand for control.” [nytimes.com]

Final Fantasy Tactics was already the best videogame of all time.

Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.

Probably shouldn't give boys like this easy access to guns.

@mattxiv.bsky.social @kattenbarge.bsky.social @taylorlorenz.bsky.social Yo thanks you three for grappling with that you-know-who legacy video. My family and I really needed to unpack that along with you after a week of wild institutional gaslighting online.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Sadly, capitalism

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence. Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.

democrat melissa hortman was literally politically assassinated in her fucking home less than 3 months ago and now everyone wants to comment on how bad it’ll be now like ok

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses. People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

That is called propaganda. Corporate media apparatus exist to support and reinforce the status quo, which is reactionary politics and capitalism apologia.

I think we each draw the line between art and artist for ourselves but JK Rowling boasts about using her Harry Potter money to fund her anti-trans hate campaign. At this point the line is not arbitrary. It is very very clear and it's disappointing how many people are willing to cross it for money.
