genuinely crazy to watch these people freak out over what is essentially 21st century new dealism

the lesson is not to come across like mamdani the lesson is to come across as sincere and authentic as yourself i say to no one in particular in los angeles

once again a reminder that during the 2016 election, the news media made "bill clinton had a short conversation with the attorney general" a huge multiday anti-Hillary story on the logic that it was a threat to their beloved and sacred principle of DOJ independence.

Have you considered that perhaps *you* are the outlier?

I mean, your record speaks for itself

The FTC case against WPATH has been reassigned to Judge Reed O' Connor with no reason given. DOJ is starting to centralize all of their investigations under O'Connor in NDTX. The federal courts are a joke.

there’s a contingent of people from historically cooler climates who really do seem to think that they’re inherently better people for not using AC unlike those decadent tropical dwellers Anyway I wrote about this a while back and need to do a update foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/16/c...

Hey folks, I'm not streaming this week because of the heat, this is unfortunately gonna impact my income, but if you wanted to throw me a tip, t would go towards more games for me to cover, video production costs, and bills. Seriously appreciate it right now ko-fi.com/CaseyExplosion

sometimes i am struck by the sheer wickedness of this man

My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

If they want to maintain the illusive center, they must move to the left.

"Save the Republic" when you've played a leading role in subordinating congress to a demented tyrant is offensive even for a dishonest weasel

yes!! I just wrote about this (altho my focus was a few decades later) www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Now they're pumping massive amounts of unknown chemicals into the reflecting pool.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Kurt Vonnegut: In my book I drew an asshole as a cautionary tale Anthropic: At long last, we have created the Vonnegut Asshole

*takes a deep breath* IF YOU AREN'T ANTIFA YOU'RE FA jesus h. christ what the hell www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

Just making sure I've got this right: Ben & Jerry's co-founders said they'd stop selling the brand to settlers in the West Bank. Against their wishes, an Israeli company bought the licensing rights for the brand in the country from Unilever, and is now selling its own Israel-themed B&J ice cream.

The Supreme Court is such a joke. For them, religious freedom only applies to white Christians when they want to hurt LGBTQ people.

i think it is great that conservative students functionally work as a volunteer stasi for republican politicians and conservative media

Seattle is probably the most gay friendly city on the planet. Foreigners and visitors can STFU.

before launching a hostile invasion of another country, just from a practical perspective, you generally want the message from state media to be "we are coming to liberate the oppressed people there from their tyrannical masters" not "we are going to pillage you and steal everything"

The liberals stabbed the algae into the reflecting pool. They did it with a knife. I am the actual president right now.

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

Hard to overstate just how much of the Brexit campaign was based on lies. Looking back it’s a sad case study of a country voting to immiserate itself due to the mendacity of right-wing politicians and tabloids. But it’s almost never framed that way in UK media. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"the left has ceded all notions of patriotism to the right" is a real [citation needed] claim

If you need a very last second Father's Day gift, a year's worth of The Onion delivered to your dad's house is $75 until the end of the night tonight. Remind your dad you're alive AND a disappointment through the mail every month for a full year. A frugal, living disappointment.

I'd like it if this was the video that broke 10K views for me, and I hope folks don't mind me bumping this again, but it'd be extremely neat if more people watched it! It's a good vid, you should all take a look. 😊 👉 👈

"Trump and Musk and their fellow oligarchs have, through fault of their own, fallen into disrepute. Yet this disrepute doesn’t impact the way our systems of government and finance and influence deal with them. This suggests that remedies must be systemic and radical." www.the-reframe.com/healing/

Absolutely NO reflection allowed.

Working on a long term project to answer just how much money was spent on anti-trans political ads between 2018-2025. The numbers on Meta are pretty staggering. Matt Walsh alone spent over $8 million on anti-trans ads followed by $3.5 million by the Daily Wire and $2.6 million by PragerU.

I wrote about the way our stories inform our reality, the enduring popularity of evolving supremacist narratives even as its practitioners fall into disrepute, and the need to understand story if we are to defeat story. www.the-reframe.com/healing/

The Straits are now closed

Yeah sorry I have no patience for "journalists" who save the juiciest news for their books. If you do this, you're an information profiteer, not a journalist.

you really get the distinct sense that vance takes joy in nothing, which matters politically because voters like to know that you enjoy *something* about life

Also ... look 'em up. Do you read to *not* learn new things?

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

As the prospective new proprietor of InfoWars, I’m just gonna say… I think it’s him.

L to R: Chris Richards: biracial kid from Alabama who speaks about black history and has tattoos of MLK, Ali, and Obama Sergiño Dest: Dutch-Surinamese, emigrated to Brooklyn as a kid, naturalized Fola Balogun: born in Brooklyn to vacationing parents, raised in UK but CHOOSES to play for USA

nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery

this is just an expression of the conservative belief that it was outrageous for barack obama to try to win an election

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military
