The least surprising fact you will learn all day

I completely agree that Democrats should run on ripping out the diseased roots of corruption.

Reminder that the Trump DOJ and the FBI know the names of every single person who raped children on Epstein Island and have chosen not to prosecute a single one of them. Not a single one.

I don't believe in cleaning your house just for it to be "clean", I think you make a space clean so your brain can rest in it. so your body can be healthy. Dishes for food safety. The bathroom so it smells nice + your shower is relaxing. laundry so your sheets smell good when you snuggle in.

My kiddo is trans, early 20’s. We brought them up in a politically engaged household, so they know - vote D if you want progress. But so many of their friends treat it like “both sides are the same” nihilism. It’s a brilliant strategy to suppress/depress a voting block that would normally vote D.

in my head I think of this as practicing good informational hygiene.

One of his cursed powers is transmogrifying other people into lolcows, either against him or in his service. Don’t give him your essence!

Do not form an attachment to this man. It is free ninety nine to not form an attachment to this guy. he is addicted to disagreement like a dope fiend and clearly lives for inane online knife fights that leaves him bleeding out hours later because of a small disagreement. Just don’t. It’s absurd.

one thing about me is that I am 100% a race traitor.

Well man

It's easy for narcissist to fall into this because Claude reflects your best traits back at you and minimizes your worst traits. We're parrots and claude is the mirror. The bigger your ego the more you fall in love with your reflection

NEW: In wake of Supreme Court voting rights act ruling, Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) introduces new term limits legislation for Supreme Court Justices 18-year terms to ensure "regular and predictable turnover"

I disagree. until there is a sane opposition party we should do everything possible to keep the GOP out of power. if that means gerrymandering, so be it

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

bump for my fellow las vegans? is that the preferred nomenclature?

The demons in hell rn

You don’t have the same “we have to do it here to balance it there” argument but you do have the “they are enemies of democracy and we need to drive them from power using every legal means at our disposal” argument.

i take great pleasure in informing you that all the maga trucks have stopped rolling coal these last few weeks

This is notable because the cruise ship passed through the geographic range of Andes virus, which is the only hantavirus with documented human-to-human transmission. Or it could be a rodent on board. Until sequencing is completed we won't know which.

Holding a finance bros face over the chemical fire and shouting "Inhale the fumes!" until they start talking about this economic situation in the same apocalyptic language they used for that time Biden installed a pro-union NLRB

soooo when are we going to have a serious discussion of Spike's consistent caping for abusers, going all the way back to the way he shit on The Color Purple for being too mean to men like Mister to spending his social capital on Nate Parker Just wildly unrepentant anti-feminist. (I'm being kind)

"bro" is the weirdest insult and it feels lowkey problematic tbh

A fantastic read. There is a quote from Mountainhead that has stuck with me. "Nothing means anything and everything is funny"

Yes, Platner is flawed w/ a troubling past. I don't blame anyone for refusing to support him. But I think people miss forest for trees here. It's not "the Dems have gone mad!"; it's "look what ppl are willing to look past for certain political positions in today's environment" & learn from that.

Dems win, ICE and CBP cut out while rest of DHS funded.

He was on an anti-Semite’s podcast and said he’s a long time listener and a big fan. It’s difficult for me to square brushing that off from some of the same people who say it’s the worst thing in the world that Gavin Newsom had gross people on his podcast.

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

They'll get zero credit for it from dem voters or the political media, but this is legitimately an astounding political achievement for a US minority party to pull off

anyone wanna ask anna paulina if this includes SAVE

it's just that, literally since early adolescence, my politics was premised on "fuck those punks over there with the Nazi tattoos". and to now see them shrugged off by the groups who I thought were on my side illicits rage.

Just so you know the appetite for this sort of change: My three-time Trump voting boss told me yesterday that he'd be cool with packing the court so what I'm saying is _everybody_ is on board.

Although in defense of Bryan, “top 1% of all vaginas” is extremely funny and I intend to steal it for use later in life.

Graham Platner said he would stand for trans rights. Andrea LaFlamme already has! Compare the two. Who has tangibly worked to help trans people & still talks about doing more and who has only talked about it after lying to people's faces over and over again?

i have serious misgivings about Graham Platner but I hope he wins and conducts his office in a way that makes me feel that I was wrong to doubt. I would vote for him if I lived in Maine despite my misgivings because we know exactly who Collins is and she's bad.

Well, you're incorrect, but at least you are massively incorrect in a manner that is stunning to behold.

I mean shit, I know *I’m* gonna feel a lot less good about a Democratic Party that starts playing into lies and conspiracy theories because they think that’s the way to win morons.

It's not worth it, full stop. Populism and Glonzoposting will NEVER be worth it. The GOP went all in on it, and we are seeing where it's gotten them? People want that for us? Really? Take a good fucking look at what's coming for the Republican Party and tell me you want that for our side.

so you wouldn't care if they were, like, a pedophile, felon and adjudicated rapist? that no longer matters?

YES this is a bad ruling and bad law and will hurt real people. It doesn't mean the people doing it won! Or are winning. They are not. They are fighting a rearguard action, and always have been. For our entire lives.

Cliver Barker: My terror of the Daleks was the terror of something that was soulless, that had no moral component whatsoever, and no imaginative component. John Carpenter: You're talking about Republicans in the United States, the Reaganites. (From "Horror Café". BBC, 1990)

SCOTUS is telling us that there's no choice left but to pack the court. Congress can pass whatever laws they want to, but the Gang of Six will veto them if they think it'll help Republicans cling to power.

Gatdamb, he fricaseed her ass and didn’t need a drop of transphobia to do it

Dawntrail was about this!!!!

Great implementation of the ADHD strategy known as "body doubling," where you join up with a partner to complete tasks you've been putting off. Spend this May Day evening untangling yourself from the tentacles of capital!

Between turning a Truth Social post into a legal motion and indicting someone the president doesn't like over a picture of seashells, the sinking Trump ship has now entered the stage of farce. These are the desperate and pathetic moves of a project that is plummeting into the abyss of history.

Someone described it as "a combination of Amelia Badelia and the Memento Guy" and that is pretty accurate to my experience so far bsky.app/profile/edbu...

some Trump voters are this, others are just people who desperately want a hierarchy in which they have a place *even if that place is not very high*

A brilliant piece that captures Fallon in a way we've all been feeling but couldn't voice.
