Straight guys should be thrilled to be “friend zoned,” right? You’re telling me a woman you like wants to hang out, sharing positive experiences and information that will be helpful to your life, and likely improve your other relationships that are ACTUALLY romantic or sexual, and you’re mad?

Orcas please

Homo down

yep. modern fascism is in a lot of ways an attempt to fulfill the fantasy of adulthood without responsibility. to act with the impunity you imagine adults have!

So you know how you can’t see images right now, but when the images have alt text you still know what they were supposed to be? That’s why alt text is important. Accessibility benefits everyone!

What if fireworks were illegal worldwide except for one show per country every 20 years or so

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

It's pretty incredible that both Musk and Trump owe their positions to the clickbaitization of a struggling journalism economy.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022: "When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."

Half the major players in an authoritarian takeover and destruction of the US being like “we are doing an authoritarian takeover and destruction of the US” 😑

NEW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight of Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel immigration policies that kidnap and disappear immigrants of all statuses, I will. Today’s Shadow Hearing will focus on how his actions are destroying U.S. families and communities.

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

"The killer has done a great disservice to the nation in the elimination of Rockwell by making a martyr of a despicable enemy of America." Samuel Samuels, the leader of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA, in 1967 on the assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I recommend everyone watches this

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

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

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Should Democrats demand a thorough investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killer and the whole internet poisoned culture that drives so much of this? Any investigation would be a bad look for the whole right wing, but also how do they justify publicly voting not to pursue it after all this? Worse look?

One of the best people decoding all this chaos is @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Mike “shut up and take it” Johnson

A Dem demand to reverse the SCOTUS, and block ICE from targeting Latinos for their race, is a brutal wedge for the GOP and MAGA. They can either gut the racial terror campaign that the base loves, or they can announce to Latinos they're targets. stancilculture.substack.com/p/you-cant-d...

A guy can’t even slap his wife around anymore because of woke

There's a grim irony in Oprah specifically pivoting away from the shock content that her daytime peers embraced (as she realized it just platformed jerks,) into the things like celebrity interviews & the book club, which still accidentally just platformed the same ideologies, just in a suit & tie.

It’s almost as if Trump and Hegseth haven’t the faintest fucking clue how to defend a nation. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

My message to Donald Trump is very simple.

Enough with the backroom scheming. If Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly.

CHICAGO…

I propose we all just do this every day regardless of his health condition 🤷🏼‍♂️

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

I wanna know what all the elected dems are going to say and judge them appropriately.

I hope it happens tonight so we can celebrate all weekend 🤞🏼

Drive thru restaurants are going to have me screaming “REPRESENTATIVE” over and over, progressively more clearly and loudly, at a menu board run by AI, aren’t they?

We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.

Has the onion article been updated yet? They could probably just automate it at this point.

To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

Chris Rufo has made it explicit a couple times, but I still think it can be difficult to fully grasp how dishonesty and insincerity are the standard modes of communication for the right wing. They communicate by media manipulation, engage in that manipulation, and accept that they are manipulated

"Birthing Person" has been used in 9 official e-newsletters. 8 are Republicans making fun of the term and saying Democrats say that and 1 is from Bernie Sanders when his staff was interviewing a midwife.
