If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

This is textbook racism. As in, this is an example that an elementary teacher might use to explain racism to a child: "If someone says all members of a particular race are stupid, that's racism, kids." Any news outlets that uses any word for this except racism is not reporting the truth.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Scientists Baffled Why More Kids Are Off Sick During Pandemic That Makes Kids More Likely To Be Off Sick

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

My cheeseburger is 95% done. I just need a hamburger and a slice of cheese.

I just saw “The Sheep Detectives” and had to sit through so many prev-ewes!

Yeah, “what if” This last decade has taught me that it takes very little time to move social norms and beliefs. The extremists have a substantial hold not only on the youth, who have no experience with the before, but also on older Xers and Boomers who bathe in the bifurcated propaganda.

≠ ≠ = !!

“Quiet piggy” “you’re a dumb person” Two examples top of mind that indicate a lack of any kind of maturity let alone the dangerous impulsive sunddowning tweets every night

Truth in Comedy

Moreover, this alliance can't be undone with the next election. Dems got to get evangelical with voters and biblical with enemies.

Maybe the White House could have some kind of “rose garden”

For as long as I live, I will never understand how January 6th wasn’t the end of Donald Trump. I will never, ever understand it.

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

Raw, uncut power

I heard an MS NOW reporter describe GOP resistance to Ukraine aid as “isolationist.” But when you see Republicans plunge the U.S. into a Mideast war, steal Venezuelan oil and blow up boats in international waters, it’s clear that over-all GOP policy is not isolationist. It is, however, pro-Putin.

Senator Mumblyfuck

Inflation, gas prices, and grocery costs are all up. But yesterday Trump was clear: he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situations.”

Everything is worse. Nothing is better. They're trying to take everything away. I'm so very tired.

Eat the rich.

NYT catalogs all the American companies Trump has let his boss Vladimir Putin target in Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/w...

the Supreme Court's order last night letting Alabama use a district map that lower courts already *found unconstitutional* confirms what I said last week Callais's harm goes beyond the VRA The GOP justices could only rewrite the VRA by rewriting the Constitution ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I really don’t think Democrats should spend a lot of time debating if the Jewish Space Laser lady has some good ideas.

Cult gonna cult gonna cult.

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Best film adaptation of the Odyssey, wrong answers only.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Billionaires are oppressed. The poor are greedy. Whites are victims of racism. The police are victims of brutality. Medicine is unhealthy. Censorship is free speech. Corruption is innovation. This onslaught of malignant absurdism has broken everything. It has broken me.

The caricature of Democrats using language that alienates "real people" rarely applies to the actual politicians, but somehow terminally online scolds doing it is supposed to be their problem. But online Nazis are not the problem of the Republicans they support.

It’s refreshing to see a president unencumbered by maintaining the veneer of working for the people. You can get so much more done when you openly work for your billionaire donors and expend government resources and lives of our soldiers to achieve those goals.

A billion times this. Yes stop talking like pollsters and don’t condescend but no need for folksy third grader speak.

The Propaganda of the Wealthy has been Effective…. The US is the only country where poor people shun labor unions, free healthcare, and free college because rich people tell them to

this is a jazz group that agreed to open a Trump event ...

Jesus fucking Christ. Democracy doesn’t die in the dark, the Washington post places it in a snuff film and fucks it’s rotting corpse

And ya know what? If they fail...nobody eats. 'Cause Farmers make, ya know, "food."

“Tell me your company, and I will tell you what you are.” — Sancho Panza in “Don Quixote” (by Miguel de Cervantes, 1615, translated by Charles Jarvis, 1749)

Trump has never made anyone a better person; he has only given bad people permission to show how bad they are.

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

Zelensky has proven he doesn’t need a ballroom by demonstrating that what he really needs is ball room.

It’s hard for me to blame people falling for conspiracies about the WHCD shooting because American conservatism is operating as a conspiracy by any definition, and that conspiracy is aimed at manipulating us into not noticing our rights being taken away and our pockets emptied by scams.
