the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Perfect.

“This is cultural nostalgia, not economics.” Yes! Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion” by Agnes Arnold-Forster is a good read. Nostalgia was originally identified as a disease and it’s not terribly hard to understand why.

Stephen Miller having any involvement with deadly strikes on Caribbean boats adds to the suspicion that US forces might have killed migrants, not drug traffickers. Blowing up rather than interdicting and arresting traffickers would still be both illegal and bad strategy. But if migrants even worse.

Yes.

Why have all the Generals been called to meet in person? It’s the only way to insure Jeffrey Goldberg isn’t added to the Signal chat.

😕

It’s interesting how we are asked to justify why there is an English Department at a college but not why there is an athletics program I think both are valuable but it’s interesting which one is more likely to be on the ropes, again, at a college

We’re never far from Abu Ghraib selfies.

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

Suggested lyric change: “O’er the Land da da Dee! And the home Dee Dee da!” Play ball!

And while there is a religious Left there is no equivelant of the Evangelical Right with its megachurches and media empires.

The rest of the world continues to innovate and develop clean, renewable energy sources while the US returns to 1975 under the Trump admin. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Somehow shocking while not being surprising.

The “deplorables” comment took off like it did because it dropped into a 20+ year campaign of misogyny & batshit anti-Clinton conspiracy theories that had come to suffuse GOP political culture. It was a gaffe, but it became a meme because of how GOP backlash politics works. Republicans have agency!

This is who funds Mike Benz. This is why John Solomon is always breaking weird bullshit stories. Their info laundering path is always the same. The “Foundation” for Freedom Online isn’t a legal entity. It’s never filed a 990. It’s a blog! This is how it was legitimized to give Benz credibility.

Key word: Jurors. A consensus of peers.

The president called for the use of lethal force in (checks notes) Portland and he’s still President. Democrats are spineless, Republicans are shameless. What the hell is it going to take?

This really shows how this entire panic is uncut sexism. The premise of Rogan's argument is that he, a random man who has no understanding of science, knows more about pregnancy health than women who are literally seeing a doctor once a month. www.aol.com/news/joe-rog...

I would love to se Robyn Hitchcock play with band some day.

I need you to read this thread to understand why so many historians are revolted by this regime's crimes against the past

Actually surprised they got a grand jury on board for this.

Madness.

Oh the fossil fuel industry will love this. Bikes and bike lanes are "hostile" to cars.🙄 www.rawstory.com/trump-267403...

Obviously it would be outrageous to indict him, but it’s amazing that James Comey’s overriding concern in 2016 — leading to multiple violations of norms and policies — was trying to minimize the chances that Jason Chaffetz would yell at him

LOL 😝

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

To borrow from Marshall McLuhan, the medium is the message, and lately the medium has been bullets. I know people write on bullets, obvs, I’m just not accustomed to such an abundance of helpfully expository evidence. Which brings me to something that’s been nagging me since the unfounded 1/

My inclinations not to become conspiracy-minded when I see things like that “anti-Ice” bullet are heavily stressed by violence entrepreneurs on the Right and so much bald eagerness for a Reichstag moment.

people are starting to speak up about the Argentina bailout

That FBI press conference just now in Dallas about the shooting at an ICE facility stunk to high heaven

The Memphis City Council is asking MATA to figure out the details of a month-long trial run at no fares and reports on the impact it has on ridership.

Returns are coming in from the election in Mobile. Barbara Drummond, the Democrat, leads 60% to 40% with roughly one-fifth in. BUT: I am unable to see where the results are coming from. Voting in Alabama tends to be very segregated (even by national standards), so things can swing considerably.

This headline puts me in mind other “problem” usages such as “the black problem” or “the Jew problem.”

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

Embarrassing isn’t a big enough word. Humiliating can’t quite stretch enough to cover it. Disgrace is closer to the mark but even that falls short.

The TikTok law was one of the biggest own goals of Biden's presidency. Helped deliver a(nother) critical media platform into the hands of pro-Trump billionaires seeking their own political influence wapo.st/3IlYmrP

What a piece of shit.

“DEI” for these people just means integration and the enforcement of civil rights laws www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/r...

Shakedown!

Things are feeling bleak right now, so it's worth sharing how California, the world's 4th largest economy, is doubling down on offshore floating wind.

Rep. Jim Himes: "I still can't get over the fact that I think for the first time in our history, the U.S. military...is now killing civilians who have been convicted of no crime. There's a reason we do trials in this country."

Bonus, I guess

I made a meme. It’s not very good, but I feel like it corrects a grave misunderstanding.

“There’s a thin line between free speech & when it crosses a line and causes violence.” Oh really? Do you guys carve out special exceptions to this new right wing wokeness when you talk about trans people and other vulnerable communities?

Add this to the “latent identities that can be made salient and drivers of behavior”. Disney Adult is not a political identity per se but if you link that to an ideological position you can use this identity to motivate participation.

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

I tend to hate “we told you so” posts. There’s no bragging rights; nothing to celebrate. But here’s the thing; it’s not just this one time. It’s been at every point in our slide to fascism. With D leadership still playing stupid games it’s time to reckon with this. It’s time to say it loud, often.
