Elon Musk owns a website that generates child porn and was an eager associate of Jeffrey Epstein long after it was known Epstein trafficked children for sex. How is anyone continuing to be associated with any of his projects companies or operations

"St Paul Church Riots"???? Talking points sent out to Trumps media minions, cult MAGAists, and bot army

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die: In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy. Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't. Rinse, repeat.

The same thing the Russian authorities said when they kidnapped hundreds of Ukrainian children.

"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you." 😆

If Lincoln had hanged the Confederate traitors and had Ford not pardoned Nixon we'd be in such a better place right now

This is straight up IDF in the territories type bullshit www.fox9.com/news/childre...

I'm not saying that Rebecca Good = Crispus Attucks but I'm not NOT saying that either.

They sure aren't acting like a party that is concerned about the midterms. The question is, is that because they are in such a bubble they believe their own BS or they have no intention of relinquishing power regardless of the vote? Get ready for our own Long Parliament.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

It's worth taking a moment to think about how, in an era of democratic recession & the growth of autocratic & oligarchic governance, many apologists for these developments invoke elitist justificatory discourses of 'meritocracy' & aristocracy—while the rulers they've empowered are dogshit stupid

Dems need to run on one thing, and one thing only: rein in Executive Power. Don't even worry about impeachment. Amendments that return the balance of power as envisioned by the founding generation. Make it explicit the President is subject to all laws. Make pardons reviewable. I'm sure there's more.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Because destabilizing South and Central American governments and economies has no impacts on refugees and immigration.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers

Everyday these "alpha-males" show just how fragile and thin-skinned thy really are. To quote my high-school gym teacher: "What a bunch of pussies!"

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Heads the for-profit utilities win, tails the consumer loses

The question that comes to mind - with all this effort on enforcement, detention, and deportation, how did Trump's DHS / BP / ICE miss this guy? Was it because they were preoccupied with arresting people in court, in child-care centers, and schools?

These are the death panels that are kicking granny off of life support that Sarah Palin warned us against

the misogyny of this administration is bone deep

The absolute easiest marks in the world.

The Trump administration is surely going to take umbrage at this persecution of Christians, right?

Who thinks that we aren't going to see government financial data for a good while? Perhaps until after Nov 2026? 🙋‍♂️

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

Sounds like something a King would do

I would like to once again state for the record that building an entire sociomaterial culture— especially regarding housing, healthcare, and food— out of a combination of "caveat emptor," "fuck you I got mine," and "YOLO" actually really fucking sucks

The legacy of the Founders was complex & often ambiguous but if there’s one thing they made crystal clear it’s that having a large standing army financed by private funds beholden to a man calling himself king was a total non starter But I guess your oligarch owner doesn’t want folks to know that

I wonder how many adherents to Prosperity Gospel Christianity became millionaires after joining their churches? I'm guessing just the preachers and, of course, the grifters who joined and convinced their fellow church goers to buy into their MLM scheme.

In the 90s when the GOP went after Bill Clinton for his infidelities a whole bunch of the same type of actions came out about GOP pols. Those were all dismissed as "youthful indiscretions" even though they had occurred while these dudes were in their 30s and 40s. Who knew GOP men were all Peter Pan.

"lower" prices - so not negotiated but at thee whim of the manufacturer. The Trump administration is nothing but cruelty wrapped up on a PR campaign

Since most overseas voters are civilians they have been living abroad with things like universal healthcare, paid family leave, and public investment. MAGA/GOP is terrified of those voters so they are going to do what they always do - suppress the vote.

The American white Evangelical movement and American Christian Nationalists sure don't seem to believe in Christ's own words about rich men, needles, and camels.

If I visit there better damn well be a murder to solve with the aid of a local cop who was in Scotland Yard but left after a failed child murder investigation that they are still haunted by

Fuck ICE. Fuck this white supremacist administration.

"There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People." Umberto Eco, ‘Ur-Fascism’

The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom

Kind of weird how Roberts declared the VRA preclearance to rest on dated and unfair assumptions about the South and within 15 years the former Confederate states will have effectively eliminated almost every black district within those states.

I get called radical because I want affordable housing and rational, compassionate immigration policy and gun reform that helps keep kids safe. Radicals like me are never going to kill people for our ideology because that’s literally not our ideology.

At this point why are we even separating AL & NL stats other than tradition? Between inter-league play, the unbalanced schedule, and the DH in both leagues there are no distinctions anymore.

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

What I have learned today: It is perfectly acceptable to say bigoted, hateful and dehumanizing things, but if you point out that the person who says them are bigoted, hateful, and dehumanizing you are stoking violence.

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

The microwave is not heating things up as well as it used to. I think it's running out of science rays.
