Giving Trump whatever he wants but shaking my head so people know I'm not happy about it bsky.app/profile/atru...

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Caving to autocrats is what doesn't work. I cannot believe how someone can say such an absolutely stupid and irresponsible thing. This is an insane statement to make.

New Column: OK, this can't go on forever? But why cave NOW? Really politically tone deaf. newrepublic.com/article/2029... via @newrepublic.com

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

1. Tucker Carlson is mainstreaming white supremacy, hosting Nick Fuentes — a white nationalist who praises Hitler — for a fawning 2-hour interview These companies are sponsoring Carlson's show: Rocket Money Eight Sleep Beam

Well, of course he did.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

This is, wait for it, LEGEN-DARY comic among Finnish reservists. For its accuracy.

No thank you.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/... This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about. During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

This is the most un-self-aware NYT piece since.....well, last week, when they wrote about democratic backsliding in the US with the zeal of Those Who Have Seen Further while making absolutely no reference to their own role in normalising autocracy

the condescending smugness of NYT opinion, like— Hey Zohran, so yeah, we did our best to slime you, son & to keep you out & the shittiest & corrupts in control, but ok, you get one shot now, so listen close boy, here’s how & how not to do your thing y'hear seriously www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

Live. Laugh. LOSE.

Thank you, Republicans! 😍

And *that* is what makes America great.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

TRUMP: Water is dry. Fire is cold. Up is down. Person, woman, man, camera, TV, I’m an idiot. Covfefe.

ARE YOU LOVING THE GOLDEN AGE YET?

DOZY DON IS BACK!

TRUMP: The poor must starve!

Trump administration fighting tooth and nail to starve children!

saw this. had to share.

Donald Trump’s lawyers literally argued in court yesterday that feeding starving families undermines his ability to use hunger as political leverage for the shutdown. SICK!

So there's an extra tab on the NYC mayoral race in the NXT app but not one on Trump's ongoing campaign to turn the United States into a kleptocratic white supremacist dictatorship? Okay, sure, I guess you gotta have priorities.

Now do Palantir etc.

Tim Drygala, politisch engagiert im „Team Freiheit“ von Frauke Petry und Jura-Professor in Leipzig, lässt uns an seinen Gewaltfantasien teilhaben. Die Uni Leipzig sollte ein Disziplinarverfahren prüfen.

Der größte Witz der großen NGO Empörung, in der sich Unionspolitiker und rechtsextreme Medien zur Jagd auf den ‚Deep State‘ linker NGOs machten, ist, dass es nicht die Finanzierung an sich war, sondern dass der Filz nur rechts & Mansour, Schröter, Rödder & co finanziell üppig ausstatten sollte.

Drives me mad that people talk about Danish immigration policy as a *political* success without bothering to look at the polls.

*stares in Trump 2.0*

It's a cult.

That a self-avowed ‘socialist’ could win the race for New York mayor shows how in an age of rising right-wing authoritarianism, the left needs to do more than defend a geriatric status quo and hammer down on identity politics. It needs to offer people a vision for positive socioeconomic change.

👇

Schande.

I see Foreign Affairs has also given up. Cool, cool.

So, after, for all we know, using the US armed forces to *murder* people, the president casually brags about it on social media, and this is the story Hegseth tells a laughing crowd as a funny story. Right.

Yeah, this is not good:

Honestly grateful to Douthat for this accessible distillation of this point of view. Going to be a great teaching tool that generates lots of conversation.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Again, the conflict between the “Hitler wing” and the center of the GOP is like the fights between the Klan and the White Citizens Council. The councils mostly agreed on substance, they just wanted to distance themselves from the tactics of the Klan’s vulgar commoners.

Chef's kiss:

Myeah, going out on a limb here but I don't think he should be in law enforcement.

🙏🙏🙏

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT!
