A Baltimore-based thread to explain one singular, overriding reason why American journalism is incapable of compassing and explaining the astonishing misrule and the implosion of all our governing norms. To wit: A few decades ago, as a police reporter covering the Baltimore department, a new...

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

WTAF?

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

a year in and trump is in free fall with the public across every conceivable issue

This guy.

Tiniest middle finger ever.

Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.

This comment from the Auschwitz Maemorial FB page is VERY important to read today in America.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

It's our fucking responsibility.

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

Ok let’s keep playing this.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Re: Donald Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner was a compassionate human, a devotee of democracy, a necessary moral voice and a greatly gifted creative artist. Donald Trump is a sick sociopath and a hateful person who dishonors the human race every time he opens his mouth.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-still-polling-well-with-working-class-american-pedophiles/

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

…

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

Let's have a midday story time, with Nick Muller!! (TikTok) Today we'll hear about the Portland Freedom Frog and other forms of peaceful well-dressed resistance throughout history. Enjoy, friends! May this inspire the many resisters of modern day. Resistance is always high fashion! #SheShed

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Frogtifa

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle

The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice.

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

Again, the cowardice is stunning

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

This is a man for whom no one else's life has any meaning at all. A terrifying illumination of pure narcissism.

In honor of his love for open debate, we will be firing anybody who says anything mean

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

He’s deranged

There is no sadder, more pathetic group of people than Trump’s second Cabinet.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I'd rather be an elderly white hippie than a middle aged balding fascist, Stephen.

Hi, I'm Andrew Cuomo. I'm sorry I groped your mom and killed your grandma, but if you give me a fifteenth chance, I promise to throw you out of your apartment.
