In my view, this addiction has its roots in the phenomenon that Carl Jung called shadow projection.

Once you understand that about 1 in 4 people are deeply addicted to the pleasure of harming other people, America makes sense. Evil is ordinary.

wow!

happy birthday @leahprime.bsky.social 🏍️❤️‍🔥🚀 🎂⚔️🎂 🥂👸🏼🌙

the US and the UK are similar in that if 100 bigoted right wingers show up to a protest it can be top of the hour/front page/rolling cable news coverage. if 50,000 people do a left-coded protest they all ignore it

every one of these folks should be primaried unconscionable betrayal of their constituents

we're gonna end up nailing him on tax evasion

the january 6 insurrectionists were there to kill democrats and they wouldve done it if they’d found any

The message shouldn't be "taxes are bad," it should be that you should get something for them, it's your money, it shouldn't be going to some rich dipshit's Dr. Claw-ass ballroom or into the pockets of J6 child molesters

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

bye, Jared

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

He thinks he can hide from justice in a hole in the ground.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

the world where the president can order multiple departments to ignore the law when it comes to himself and his extended family and partners is one where the next president can declare all of those people threats to national security and subject to extrajudicial action

Trump believes the ballroom will be his home in the afterlife.

looks like a few smart republicans are worried the war might destroy the GOP senate majority (probably too late, the pain is baked in)

The 5th circuit should be dissolved.

I feel pity for the folks who believe in a weak, mewling, needy Christ who requires forceful state sponsorship by the likes of Donald Trump and JD Vance and Mike Johnson to achieve His goals. What a puny god.

trying to overturn a free and fair election is, in a real democracy, one of the most serious crimes there is nine years is a light sentence for what she did

the endpoint of the scheme Peters was a part of and attempting to execute is to end the United States Constitution, abrogate any of the freedoms Americans enjoy and then ultimately enslave us. This is in some ways *worse* than treason as defined as assisting a foreign enemy.

It is fascinating that the car dealer class and other regulation-propped middlemen have largely agreed that yes, Tesla and xAI CEO Elon Musk represents their interests.

damaging what credibility

in the world of the future, natural language processes YOU

Gerontocracy is how I still occasionally see people talk about AOC being too "young" and "inexperienced" for a presidential run despite the fact that in 2028 she will be 39 and have spent a quarter of that life as a US congressional member sitting on 5 different oversight and finance committees.

it is just absolutely unfuckingbelievable that bernie sanders hired this unemployable nazi to be his press secretary

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Every Democratic candidate for office should denounce this immediately. If they don’t, you know who you’re dealing with.

Gov. Polis’ commutation of Tina Peters’ sentence is wrong.  She is in prison because she broke the law and was given an appropriate sentence.  As Governor, I will always stand up for the rule of law and fight for election integrity--and never give in to the bullying of the Trump Administration.

this is why insurrectionists must be executed

this should end his career

It is, in fact, necessary. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

Yes. It's been clear that we've been in this disintegrating moment since Bush stole the 2000 election — a massive norms-busting escalation that blew up the 20th century political system. Democrats have now had two chances in power since to repair or reform the system and punted both times.

It was part of a coup to overthrow the constitution and it worked

one of the least-discussed things that happened in the 2020s is that the GOP sacrificed hundreds of thousands of their own voters' lives during the Delta wave in an attempt to restart the pandemic in order to hurt Biden and the Dems.

gym. didn't wanna go. went. feel good

this fuckin guy

The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

It’s never gonna stop being funny/sad how absolutely *terrified* conservative men are of just like… cities.

The amazing thing about that image is that the woman in it was actually speaking totally reasonably, but just made a weird face in a couple frames of a video that got turned into a meme. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFIr...

He is directly robbing the American people, and everyone involved here belongs in prison.

thinking about the Emptiness of time. past, present, future -- none of these actually exist in the way we commonly think about and perceive them.

Let all pretense that this is about “law” die. The Supreme Court is a group of partisan actors intervening on behalf of the political party they support and against the will of the voters. It is the obligation of the next Congress that is committed to the Constitution to reconstruct the rogue SCOTUS
