Run-on fascism

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Nationalize all Golf Courses That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

Russ is absolutely faint from the constant raging boner he's getting about hurting people he hates.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

White House: “you view the White House … as wanting to put people out of work. Nobody wants to do that.” Also White House: “Stop Work” orders.

No prison sentence for criticizing him. Yet.

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

You have to admit it’s hilarious that literally 6mos ago Argentina was the country MAGA was saying was gonna dunk on all the neolibs and show them how to run a proper economy and now they’re literally begging for (and getting!) a handout from American taxpayers. Clown ideology. 🤡

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

There remain many people of good will in the U.S. govt, men and women who believe that –official statistics should be true and not just whatever Trump wants them to be; –decisions about vaccination should be based on science; –the former FBI director up on bogus charges should not be perp walked:

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

It’s probably a good time for people to wrap their heads around a near total monopoly of news and media by either overt fascists or fascist-friendly accomplices. This isn’t doomerism, it’s preparing for how reality will be warped and weaponized and understanding the fight we have in front of us.

Zip tie cuffs are incredibly painful, by the way

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Thank you, General (Retired) Mark Hertling, for saying what all of us who have served know we serve the Constitution and will not execute any order that goes against our oath.

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

Thank you Vanity Fair for printing this incredible subhed. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

District judge throws out prosecution against protester in DC with prejudice, slams US attorney for a pattern of abuse assets.alm.com/ab/b6/aa7477...

every time a football announcers derisively say "analytics" replace it with "information" and, ya know, laugh

yeah this is child abuse sorry

I mean come the hell on… The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

"I'm Ben Shapiro. I'm Matt Walsh. I'm Riley Gaines. I'm Bari Weiss' sister. All that, plus Baked Alaska, tonight on '60 Minutes.'"

Stephen Miller told police they are now “unleashed.”

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

Relatedly, someone really should fund a lawsuit by ppl who got home-invaded, assaulted, and kidnapped by ICE agents without a warrant. Yes, SCOTUS will throw it out. Make them. Let Roberts and his fellow Republicans on the court tie themselves to this hideous and also hideously unpopular atrocity.

It's worth asking how differently things might look on the ground right now if #SCOTUS hadn't eviscerated Bivens—and made it all-but impossible to bring damages suits against federal officers (like ICE agents) who violate our constitutional rights. This is from my rebuttal in Hernández v. Mesa:

Libertarians watching Government goons fast rope from black helicopters into a Chicago apartment complex, drag Americans from their beds, and leave them hogtied naked on the street:

one selfish benefit of alt text is that it is easily searchable which makes finding my own posts easier lol

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

Great command of the language on display here

Jane opened up my eyes to a lot as a kid - she was a female scientist and she was known for devoting her life to it. not to her family or children, but to her passion. i remember thinking that was so cool and it was probably the first time I realized women can be known in that way.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

"So extreme is this embarrassment within the political class that it has eclipsed even the personal fears of disability and death among legislators who control the dollars."

The American Gestapo is dragging Americans out of bed and handcuffing them with no warrant to try to convince you that brown people are hurting you rather than the truth which is that white male child rapists are selling America for parts to oligarchs and don’t care who gets stomped. #GOPFascism

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.
