There are so many things he should be afraid of right now. And, on the other side of it, there are so many things that should give all of us hope. I was in a pretty dark spot about how much everyone seemed to not care, and how they'd bury their heads in the sand. I was wrong. People are standing up.

What if Jeffrey was the actual player character and the simulation broke once he logged out

the response to this is simple, and it’s one from our history that we have seen work time and again: solidarity — unbending, unyielding, unapologetic solidarity.

imo they decided the problem was that white ppl were getting killed. they also decided the way out was to make mouth noises about restraint while using the apparatus of the state to attack black journalists and activists, likely as a prelude to focusing their raids on somali people. subtle as always

Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein from Xbox Live in 2013 for “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players” that was “severe, repeated, and/or excessive.”

Huh, it’s something in Trump 2 to come up with the worst idea I’ve ever heard

Being a freak about Stancil remains more or less a 100 percent marker of useless politics

Everyone should listen to Prophet Rick, that’s true

well then

No math. I understand the arguments. But I was perfectly capable of deciding I did not need more math when I was 18. I have not needed the math.

How can this coexist with “we are the boot”? It can’t. You cannot brag about being the boot while saying it is unfair to call you a fascist. They know that. They understand even stupid people will be able to see the contradiction.

It’s incredible he managed to deliver a nemek speech while dressed like that. What a mensch.

YAKUB HAS BEEN SPOTTED WORKING FOR ICE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

Minnesota special elections running Assad margins, you love to see it. (My understanding is these are heavily Democratic seats, but good god.)

This is exactly how the GOP has made gains on Long Island,

Mere days until Jack says we’re the real national socialists

the fact that the White House is able to grasp that they should come to the table on this is a huge deal. it signifies that they don’t think their caucus can steamroll something through with no Dems anymore, which implies a substantial internal collapse of support given past behavior

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

you can’t fucking dox a public official!

Again, I simply can't imagine choosing to dedicate my entire academic career to making bad faith, historically illiterate arguments that people born in America are not citizens.

As one artist who cancelled their Kennedy Center gig said, "It's financially terrifying but morally exhilarating." Moral exhilaration is the opposite of moral injury and it needs to be much more widespread.

Her attempts to pivot back to “less evil” are going to be hilarious

Barack Obama? The Netflix executive?

God there's a whole depressing story about American masculinity and the decline of the white man in that timeline of the Ilhan Omar choad

Like sorry regular white guy, we cannot make your wife not notice you suck. We cannot make you be responsible with your money. We cannot force your children to waste their precious lives being around you. Fuck that guy

“State’s Rights” exists so southern states can evade the constitution, not so northern states can abide by it. As a wise man once said, Conservativism consists of exactly one proposition…

The only way he can redeem himself to me is by running if Trump tries to run for a third time. But Barry would never do that

One of the lawyers working for the plaintiffs in Buckley v. Valeo? You guessed it, Ralph Nader

Never let anyone tell you this was unforeseeable. I was a teenager when DHS was created and I remember the memes (though we didn’t call them that yet) about “homeland security” being a Nazi term. Plenty of people knew at the time that DHS was a bad, dangerous, and unamerican idea.

Wow if only Senator murkowski had some mechanism to force that outcome

Manchurian President

whoops you're right Red Skull worked for the cosmic forces of God, so I think the point is that Operation Paperclip definitely happened in the MCU

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.

Disappearing witnesses is very Stalinish.

It’s pretty funny that for thirty years we said they had no values. They said nuh uh we have one value, the right to bear arms. Even that was a lie!

I was always told that one of the central lessons of the Shoah is that legal, juridical regimes can still be immoral. The claim that Anne Frank was in Amsterdam "legally" is false, but more than that, the question "Was Anne Frank an illegal?" is so grossly missing the point of Holocaust remembrance.

It would have been ok to kill Anne if she were an illegal immigrant, or committed fraud (what kind of fraud?), or acted unlawfully (a very squishy word!)

We're now seeing a steady march of Catholic prelates with obvious backing from the Vatican saying hat it's time now to defund and liquidate ICE.

it is incredible that keyboard radicals can look at the martyrdom of people with perfectly conventional politics and imagine themselves the heroes of a struggle which they do nothing but complain about

this isn't The Big Win but it is a big win and people should feel great about it.

You know what? This is more than I thought would happen an hour ago

Everyone who has ever thought “they should have shot every rebel” was right

They have overwhelmed us with “muzzle velocity,” you do have to give that to them. But they also lose track of things constantly because they’re similarly overwhelmed by their own bullshit. When democrats are next in power, what non evil stunts can we do to overwhelm them in a similar fashion?

MINNEAPOLIS WILL WIN

bros talking like they're gonna start a strategic hamlet program
