The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

You know who else tried to you about Trump, Ms. Mangu-Ward? Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. They were effing prophetic with their warnings. I doubt you give them any credit for being right.

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

these guys claim the 2024 election heralded the beginning of eternal cultural dominance and here they are performatively boycotting the one shared cultural touchstone of normie America like absolute freaks

This headline and framing illustrates the underlying racism and fascist sympathies of those who run and manage The Washington Post, whether or not the article itself manages to be more even-handed.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will not stop the use of California's new congressional maps in this year's midterm elections. The court rejected California Republicans' effort to stop the use of the new maps. There were no noted dissents and no opinion.

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

Every time Trump claims election fraud, it is a massive lie and the media should be saying that. Countless lawsuits, recounts, and statistical analysis have proven that our elections are honest & accurate. That is the truth & anyone claiming otherwise is lying. (1/2)

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

When you warehouse people without basic necessities in unconscionable conditions without a hearing or suspicion of criminal wrongdoing, you have created a concentration camp. People are reluctant to use the label b/c of its connection with Nazi death camps. But the doesn't change what they are.

The Trump Adm is arresting Don Lemon and overcharging disruptive protesters at Cities Church to posture as if it’s protecting Christians. It’s not. DHS is staging disruptive ops at other churches, at least one of which has had to go online. ... 1/4

Kids got off at the bus drop-off in Ypsilanti and their parents weren't there to pick them up because ICE kidnaped them

MAGA is doughy losers sitting alone in a basement masturbating to videos of brown people getting curbstomped and shouting “I AM THE BOOT” at the moment of climax.

ICE murdered a man with disabilities by abducting his caregiver father at his annual check-in at an ICE field office and then trafficking him hundreds of miles away from his son. This is pure evil. RIP Wael Tarabishi

She hasn’t been heard from in months

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

In case you were wondering why Trump’s flying to Iowa next week: “.. Farm bankruptcies in the first half of 2025 exceeded the total for all of 2024.” @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.cato.org/blog/whom-sh...

i realized watching OBAA is a completely different experience as a Black person (this will be a read only thread... you know who you are... you know why)

"...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them." "...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title...from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

I just wanna be clear concerning the Church protest in Minneapolis... and please feel free to disagree are you more concerned with the sanitation of the worship experience Than the dehumanization of the human beings around you?

It is even worse than it looks

One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

"I Don't Care" will be the epitaph for America and the ideals it once held, if we don't find a way to pull out of this.

Prison is what Altman deserves. And tell everyone you know these systems are ecocide-plagiarism-psychosis-harassment-surveillance radioactive waste machines. I still meet smart, well-read people who don't seem to know this. At most they wonder about the IP risks, but that's all.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Michael Harriot speaks truth.

Making Asthma Great Again.

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

Lol how can you tell this administration is lying to you? Because oil hasn't been shipped in actual barrels in over a century www.cnn.com/2026/01/06/b...

The Trump administration’s lawless attack on Senator Mark Kelly is part of a much broader project to turn the US military into a partisan militia and silence veterans who might speak out against that by threatening their pensions www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

This is the best new Epiphany hymn of recent years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkZ1...

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

It's incredible how much of this stuff is just out in the open, but because Trump said "Russiagate hoax!" 5000 times, the media was brainwashed into treating it like a nothing story instead of one of a ten alarm scandal

Remember the 1920s when nobody was left-handed

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

my favorite Hawthorne quote is from Main-Street, 1852, on the Puritans: “Let us thank God for having given us such ancestors; and let each successive generation thank him, not less fervently, for being one step further from them in the march of ages.”

Handwaving away your party’s embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories by saying “at least we’re not controlled by George Soros” is the most ridiculously quiet-part-loud thing I’ve ever seen.

Maybe Bari Weiss could take up boxing

Thanks to all the marks on both sides of the aisle who enabled this by falling for a gobsmackingly stupid manufactured moral panic.

Just a reminder that he has no fucking degree in any sort of health-related field and he can fuck all the way off into the goddamn sun with his fucking incoherent word-salad.

I feel awful for our expert civil servants who faithfully served our country only to be fired by unqualified, uncaring, irresponsible men who couldn't even make it one year doing government work. Looking at you Elon and Bongino.
