[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women. It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

Elon does not fundamentally believe that any government or governing body should be allowed to constrain or regulate him in any way and he is deploying all of the vast resources at his command to make it so governments should act accordingly

Breaking: Today is officially one of the biggest days of protest in American history. Over 7 million Americans turned out to No Kings events to stand up against MAGA fascism.

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

What do you think made America great? I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country. And I also know who truly hates America: • The KKK • 3 Percenters • Proud Boys 1/2

Just a friendly reminder that ICE are fucking scum.

It is not a coincidence or a historical contingency that the US right is fundamentally based on lies. This is true for all reactionary politics at all times & places. It is intrinsic to reactionary politics.

So this shutdown is obviously the beginnings of a GOP attempt to back into a coup, right?

Worst Supreme Court in US history.

Trans rights are human rights.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Just to be clear: Charlie Kirk was an epochal piece of shit and our country is better now that he's gone. Full stop.

Charlie Kirk was not an activist, a media personality, or a political figure. He was a provocateur. Period. An asshole. He profited from provoking people. He made money from saying fucked up shit. He profited from making terrible people feel powerful. Never let them say otherwise.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

A white cishet ultra conservative shot and killed another white cishet ultra conservative and now the other white cishet ultra conservatives are making it the problem of everyone else but themselves, which is the whitest most ultra conservative shit there is.

Maybe Charlie Kirk's death and the subsequent reporting on his murderer will wake people up to the fact that Trump 2.0 is government by 4Chan. Normal people are unaware of where all this awful policy is coming from and, understandably, bewildered by it. The ignorance is helping Trump flood the zone.

I think an under-discussed component of our current cultural rot is that the left wing of the country has spent the past four decades disavowing their connection to "America." We've ceded patriotic coding to the reactionaries.

Just a friendly reminder that none of this bullshit had to be happening. We fucking chose this.

How can the United States possibly survive when half the population is actively working for its destruction? How in the fucking world are we supposed to defuse this rightwing nihilist death spiral?

I hate to say I told you so but… I told you so. #mythofantiwartrump

"Water temperature has always gone through cycles throughout Earth's history. These bubbles are totally normal." Said the frog.

I think about this constantly

“Please understand, the secret police need to remain SECRET.”

the silicon valley technofascists are the definition of good times breed weak men

Happy Independence Day, TX-30. Let this day be a reminder that democracy doesn’t protect itself. We’ve got to keep showing up, speaking out, and standing firm—until freedom feels real for everyone.

Well, happy Farce of July everybody.

I don't know how else you describe evil. honestly.

On this truly bleak day in American history, I'd like to engage in a quixotic exercise. I'd like to imagine what future reforms a hypothetically better America might undertake if we ever escape our current fascist shitscape. Here goes:

When it's boiled down to its core essence, MAGA is just a political movement based around the premise "Me being a dipshit is a good thing, actually."

Once again I beg of people to pause and look around and realize that it's basically only because of the lawyers and the law that Trump has faced any meaningful opposition to his agenda. Obviously "the law will not save us" but actually thanks to lawyers a TON of damage has been prevented.

It’s interesting how this has pretty perfectly correlated with the world largely getting more insane and dangerous over the last decade

i hate how June has now become The Supreme Court Does Horribly Evil Things Season

Solidarity with trans people today, and always.

I think it goes completely without saying that Israel would not have attacked Iran if Harris was president.

Holy shit, what do these assholes want? "Dems need to do something." -Brad Lander gets arrested for linking arms with someone trying to save them from unlawful detainment.- "This is a political stunt!" FUCK OFF.

So, we hit 3.5%. Does he explode into a cloud of cheeto dust and disappear now?

Oh? You’re a protestor? What’s your three favorite pepper sprays?

Hell yeah, kid! www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

Los Angeles is the most American city in the country. Rock the fuck on, Angelenos.

dude you won't believe it. that violently insecure mad king? he had a falling out with that super annoying failed jester he made grand vizier

Some of you have never seen two high agency males go at it and it shows.

Before this ends one way or the other, Americans will need to realize that shitty people who suck being in charge of society is humanity's default. Crafting and maintaining a society that Stands For Good Things, Actually is hard work and a constant fight. Time to pull the wool from our eyes.

literally Palantir

Hate to say it but: capitalism led to this resurgence of US fascism. Capitalist ethos has no room for arguments like "that's morally wrong" or "those people have rights" because it boils everything down into maximizing profit or personal satisfaction. It makes Trumpian selfishness inevitable.

ICE are scum. Fuck them all.

One thing I'd ask the online left is what's *your* plan to persuade the voters profiled here to vote for you in a democratic primary? Because, yelling at them & name calling probably won't work newrepublic.com/article/1953...
