One of the most important lessons to learn about American public life is that what appears before you as "news" is not simply a summary of "what's happening now". If you fail to grasp this, you will spend your life being led around by the nose by a bunch of midwits.

Hey guys, let me explain something: journalists are all going to be suddenly and rabidly knives-out for the DSA. There is a (coordinated and politically motivated) reason for that.

“Fake conversations” very funny term to use here

Government by, from, and for literal mobsters.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

This one sneering tweet somehow explains and encapsulates everything about how corporate Democrats managed to lose to Donald Trump twice

This story on the Trump and Lutnick corrupt interest in a Tungsten deal is breathtaking on its face. But as you read it, remember urgency behind the deal was Trump's illegal tariffs. Then note that deal won't actually PRODUCE any tungsten, if it does, until 2030. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

Honestly think we should bring back the ancient concept of the "Olympic truce" during international competitions

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s INSANE that we are simultaneously hosting the World Cup and bombing one of the nations playing in said World Cup.

Reminds me of the Ferengi Rule of Acquisition (which I made up) "Sometimes being cheap....is costly"

Can we like maybe win the war against the fascists before starting a war with other Democrats?

I'm sick of most of the cynical comics, they are made for and by people who have stopped making an effort.

For the vast majority of human history and pre-history, there was no private property. Were right and wrong invented after agriculture? Was the guy who built the first fence also the first moral actor? It falls apart instantly!

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

The opposite of radical is superficial.

The American Constitutional order, circa 2026

Anyway there is no "middle." There are just actual policy positions and POWER.

Doctor Trivago

Kash Patel and Rubio spotted currently at the Colombia/Portugal World Cup match going on now in Miami. He is seated next to FIFA President Infantino. Patel continues to use his position for the perks. No bottles were seen.

Bro they're the ones who didn't want those people to have voting rights in the first place.

“If we lose, people might investigate us" is a helluva campaign pitch for "innocent" politicians.

Hooray for community spaces! Also I think he's so perfected the Suit Look that if he ever tried to go somewhere in a tshirt and jeans nobody would recognize him, it's a flawless strategy

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

lol this was a very predictable turn of events

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

we need to call up the members of van jones’ old maoist reading group like we’re assembling the goddamn avengers so they can hold the struggle session of the century

the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags

generational achievement by the MAGA movement to substantially weaken red-baiting (an American institution!) as a political tactic. Look how pathetic they are 😭

Reminiscent of the time Vance claimed that Britain would become "first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon", blithely ignoring the existence of Pakistan.

In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the fire department exists to start, not to put out, fire. In a similar vein, Harmeet Dhillon has refashioned DOJ's Civil Rights Division into an entity that perpetrates civil rights abuses rather than battling them.

an underrated subplot here is the new battle this inevitably sets off: WHICH Bible?

The diet MAGA dems are losing their minds & crashing out not only because of DSA wins but bc Zohran is actually delivering on his campaign promises & doing it quickly. "there's nothing we can do" but minor tweaks around the edges is being proved factually false, and they don't want you knowing that.

Good Morning #StarTrekFamily I hope y'all have a Super #StarTrekSaturday 😂🤣😂🤣🖖 LLAP

I think some of it is that that section of the American commentariat think of themselves as living through the latter years of the Western Roman Empire and secretly realise that the United Kingdom is to them as Greece was to Rome.

Ideology isn’t Fox News, ideology is HGTV

In Norway he’s known as Harrison Fjord

“If there’s going to be class warfare in this country, it’s about time the working class won that war.” 🌹 dsausa.org/join

“…convicting them of ‘providing material support to terrorists’ for acts such as printing & distributing leftist zines, joining an anarchist book club, communicating on the same messaging app, or [visiting] the same shooting range. these people are now facing 30-, 50-, 70-, & 100-year sentences.“

Bishop Seitz on immigrant detention facility at Fort Bliss: “Most of these people that are being detained right now, they're not elderly people. They're not generally sick people. And yet they're ‌dying.” www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Honestly the thing is that DSA is actually doing politics, the basic grassroots stuff you'd expect any political party or org to be doing I can't tell you how many DSA members actually learned to do all this stuff because we were never taught how to actually do politics in school

Van Jones citing DSA study groups aka @davidkaib.bsky.social

This is kind of why I side-eye people who diss those who care about physical media

Happy pride to the super bisexuals

That last paragraph is... really something else.

apparently in texas, paxton’s campaign is dunking on talarico by …giving out free tacos with talarico’s name on them, courtesy of “radical texas dot com”? whose idea was this, lol.

Can we bribe FIFA into letting them stay for the knockout round based only on good vibes?
