“Let them eat ballrooms”

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

I feel that some of you need regular reminders of how unpopular this man is. And frankly I see him getting even more so as the economy worsens. Again, this doesn't mean that he will give up any power but it does mean that WE HAVE POWER TOO.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Imagine looking twice your age despite your testicles never descending and trying to intimidate u.s. citizens. The nerve of that sleep paralysis demon

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Almost everyone at the top of industries, politics, academia, and institutions have gotten there for their ability to flatter existing power structures and not any actual skill, and combined with pride in ignorance and American exceptionalism they are completely unequipped for this moment.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

I like my fridges dumb, young, and full of plums

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Hmm where were these people when a democratic actual politician was shot dead on her doorstep in Minnesota, I wonder.

Many of the people still active on Twitter and bashing Bluesky were declaring "Twitter is not real life" daily in 2019-2020. Text-based social media has always been distinct and in many ways unrepresentative. But the actual frustration they have is with forums that empower progressives/leftists.

Could it really be evil if it's convenient for me personally?

Leftists simply don't understand politics. The way to win is to immediately promise Newsom your vote three years early without asking anything in return. This is called leverage.

I reject fatalism [a form of moral disengagement]. What happens next is not predetermined and depends in part on us.

I have re-read this line 17 times. "The company is yet to experiment with creating plus-size women, claiming 'the technology is not advanced enough for that'."

Saw someone call AI users “botlickers” and that is very funny

Three competing “autopsies” - none of which want to talk about the actual problem - is peak Democratic Party. The leaders that got us into this mess are literally incapable of getting us out of it. We need a new generation in power in every sense of the word. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u...

December is the only one I don't recognize. If it's an evil nun, even if she's magic, I think I'm okay. My everyday life doesn't often intersect with Catholicism and I've got no beef with this nun and won't stand in her way. If it's something else more witchlike, then survival might be trickier.

the democrats pushing the narrative that racism is exclusive to the right is a barrier to progress and, quite frankly, a losing strategy. because it’s just not true and everyone is tired of all the lying.

Today I’m celebrating the fall of Vicksburg and the Confederate retreat at Gettysburg, which is why we set off fireworks and grill, yes?

Here at the New York Times real journalists like me properly cite our sources, which in this case is twitter user ReichFan1488

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

SCOTUS has ruled that you should stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself lol lmao

Also? I want young, hungry progressives to target every fucking centrist in the party who isn’t willing to bring the fire to this moment that we deserve.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

A wise person knows that the best way to fight fascism is to fight fascism. Not to give into it piecemeal. The person who thinks that we just need to find the right sacrifice to feed to the fascists in order to appease them is, at best, a collaborator.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

um actually it’s “fewer-lethal”

this counts

For the absolute last time: I *never* said I thought E.T. dressed in the wig and the dress was sexy, I said *I could see why people would think that*

bluesky bubble is the story because tech bros want it to be. i'd advise you ignore them. they don't matter. keep using whatever social media you enjoy in the way you enjoy it and don't worry what "the story" is.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

LA wasn't founded by the Dutch or the British. It was founded by 44 Mexican pobladores, the vast majority of whom were mestizo, Indigenous or afro mestizo. What Stephen Miller is trying to do is erase LA history. I explored this many moons ago in Guernica: www.guernicamag.com/remapping-la/

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Third Amendment scholars, buckle up! 😂

How long til the Third Amendment is awakened from its slumber

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
