The conservative movement has spent untold billions of dollars and spilled oceans of ink trying to depict Mamdani's form of American progressivism as "dangerous collectivism" and a "slippery slope to the Communist gulag." It's always been bullshit, and I'm not sure how long it'll work.

“In 2029 we will freeze and seize all assets for Trump, his family, his organizations, his closest colleagues and they will have to prove any individual asset is legitimate to reclaim it.”

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Political scientist Julia Azari argues that Trump, like Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon before him, became president in part because of white backlash against the pro-Black accomplishments of his predecessor. trib.al/hC7zFMR

GenZ better shun this little grifter for the rest of her life

this is, indeed, a crusade by the people directly running the New York Times to destroy the rights and lives of trans people in this country they have blood on their hands and they’re proud of it

Blockbuster interview about institutional transphobia at the New York Times that names names of the bigots responsible: A.G. Sulzberger, Joe Kahn, Carolyn Ryan at the top, plus Pamela Paul, Jeremy Peters, Azeen Ghorayshi, Katie J.M. Baker, & an entire anti-trans pro-mgmt splinter group in the union

They say Liverpool played “Heavy Metal Football” under Jürgen Klopp; under Arne Slot it’s more like Yacht Rock Football

It must be really hard for Smokey the Bear to be named after the thing he’s spent his life trying to stop. It’s like an oncologist being named Dr. Leukemia

The path forward here is obvious: the U.S. and the EU should announce a 9-figure commitment to arms for Ukraine. The Soviet Union only collapsed once the economic situation became untenable. It’ll take the same to end Putin’s rule

Feeling Optimistic In 2026

The RNC Chair said he saw trump consume around *1700 calories* of McDonald’s in a single sitting. You love to see it

“I want nice, thin blood” He’s not the only who’s dying lmao

Fuck

No website is more ready for 2026 than this one

John Robert’s talking about the constitution the way David miscavige talks about his wife

HERE Jack Smith sets out Trump’s direct culpability and complicity in the federal election interference case, including January 6th:

For their anti-immigrant, white nationalist post about 100 million deportations, DHS stole the artwork of a non-white foreigner: Japanese illustrator Hiroshi Nagai. Apparently no white Americans were available to design an image. View Nagai's work here: hiroshinagai.com/contents.html

Since the mid 90s, but *especially* since 9/11 every single time the media apparatus or the state has essentially said that it's open season on some subgroup of people living in USA, they get attacked. But people still doubt the existence or deny the function of stochastic terrorism in American life

This nursery is really nice, but they’re out of their minds

Chris Rufo will post something like “my plan is to lie to the media about what trees do” and the NYT will print “trees are traditionally seen as helpful, even worth preserving, but some are asking if the time of trees has come to it’s end, and their ideas about autism are intriguing”

Great shot of the insane flex these type of skis have

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

>1 million Americans died in a traumatic viral pandemic, and America responded in the most American way, which was to make it more likely people would die of diseases we’d already contained by tearing up the social contract in the name of “freedom” while disregarding the actual concept of freedom.

Literally seeking to build a regime-supporting paramilitary force of tens of thousands of people - explicitly recruiting people based on their politics

She’s exactly where she deserves to be, but how wild is it that the President of the United States is wishing citizens the worst and wants them to rot in hell? Wild times, folks…

Bracketing if this example would actually fit the elements, the reason talk of future prosecutions offers so little deterrent is because everyone knows there will be mass, blanket pardons. Without some intention and theory of how to undo those as invalid, there will be no such accountability.

The key thing to understand in this story is not just that Katherine is the kind of leader we want to see more of, standing up on principle, but that when you do so, you will face as much opposition from your ostensible allies as from the fascists you’re fighting. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/b...

Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research. A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans. futurism.com/health-medic...

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

“Many people don’t care what the rules are. They just want to know what they are and how to operate within them. So some new rules of the road are congealing. At the same time, many people are less afraid and ready to oppose.”

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

The only logical conclusion to draw from the Netanyahu government’s actions is that they want Palestinians to die.

Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...

2025 recapped

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."

If you have a billion dollars, you literally have enough money to never have to hear any criticism for the rest of your life. Just because they’re all addicted to going online and getting yelled at isn’t my fucking problem.

They killed the IRS’s free direct file electronic filing program like 2 months ago! It’s not hard case to make! They’re taking everything away and making what’s left suck harder and cost more—and all the proceeds are going to a tiny sliver of Americans, most of whom are worth at least 8 or 9 figures

👇🎯

In one fell swoop, Trump has successfully achieved his goal of fucking up voting by mail.

Frida’s got a new Pablo Posturepedic Mattress

“60 years” is an EXTREMELY revealing amount of time for Miller to cite. He’s specifically referencing the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act, which banned quotas based on race, sex, and nationality, and instead created an immigration preference system based on family ties and professional skills.
