I'll be honest and say the White House demolition thing makes me insane with rage in a way I don't really post about on the internet.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces. It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

It's just become unambiguously clear to me that liberal democracy cannot survive extreme wealth inequality. These people need to be stripped of their assets.

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right. This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

And on the fourth day God said if you cut the penis your sons will know so many facts about whales

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality. They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

This guy is gonna be four Old Styles, an Italian beef, and a deep-dish pizza into an evening and declare undying allegiance to Great Khan Pritzker

they’re illegally sending troops from more and more states to occupy my fucking city because a bunch of shitass ICE chumps can’t tolerate a person in an inflatable frog costume legally gyrating at them in front of a single building they lease from us, keep it fucking shut down, fuck these people

i think that the next administration should be the one which curtis yarvin describes

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

This is a federal embarrassment in any American city. Illegal. Unconstitutional. Un-American.

this isn’t true, but i strongly encourage the president to keep telling the country he’s going to cut off their social security and medicare

It would be an incredibly funny bit to create a federal precedent for nationalizing companies and directly selling medications to consumers and then hand the whole thing over to a Dem trifecta in 2028

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

you win if you fight

the American consumer is a mighty beast that has so far managed to shrug off every body blow and keep chugging along but the Trump administration simply will not rest until it makes things inconvenient and expensive enough to begin grinding that tremendous machine to a halt

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

[me] your honor, i am just a girl [judge] ur so right, ur free to go

Where have I heard that before

good job chat we successfully bullied a major corporation to the point that the late night host they canned is making jokes about it in his return monologue american fascism versus the cancel subscription button: who will win

that means we throw donald trump in prison where he belongs, that means we say “nah, you won’t do shit” and step to bibi in palestine and putin in ukraine, that means we put a thousand 25 year olds on scotus to restore and hold up roe, that means we pull fox’s licenses, that means we deport elon

the important thing is my view is that it can’t go back to the old way: these people need to be prosecuted and disposed of with utter cruelty, and the america that emerges needs to be a much more clear-eyed superpower that is done making compromises around small-L small-D liberal democracy

have been kind of chewing on this for a day and agree with osita on the sentiment personally, but also think there will be no choice, because there’s a whole world out there that just…won’t do shit and will be happy to assume trump as sui generis and reset to The Norm

This can't be like the FBI, where Republicans treat it as a purely partisan office, and Democrats respect their choices. If we're going to have a unitary executive, the next Democratic president should pledge to purge every single Trump appointee on day one.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

Dems ought to be telling people now these letters are worth absolutely nothing.

9-0 “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.” I'm reposting this because: 1. I saw it posted twice without alt text (please use alt text) 2. Note the plaintiff

i dont want to go back to normal, i want a democratic president to use these newfound powers to completely dismantle the conservative media apparatus responsible for this mess

Schumer needs to say that when Ds take congress they will hold hearings on whether Disney needs to be broken up since it is essentially bribing Trump for preferential treatment re mergers.

republicans really want to do the holocaust so badly dude someone should probably do anything at all about that

and NOW my STUPID HOG COUNTRYMEN are MAD about what THEY DID TO THEMSELVES

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

The media demands you respect them for their tireless diligence in the quest to try and pin this on a trans person someway and somehow so that a justification to shed impure blood might be found

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."
