It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

We're on a mission from God (The Frog Brothers)

Alex Jones appears to understand just how unserious he is. Or is it that he is seriously opposed to being funny?

This is a sign of immense weakness. It’s like a mobster asking others if they’d be interested in a shakedown because their first targets didn’t cooperate.

"(Officers) refuse to recognize local or court authority. A judge says you can’t arrest journalists. Watch us. A judge says we have to wear badges. No. State law says we can’t drive around in unmarked vans? Too bad. Elected officials who want to see what is going on should prepare to be arrested."

Also worth reiterating:

Bears repeating. This is where the battle lines of the Culture War divide us.

Huge shout-out to Oakland, CA, where, as here, there is no there there!

this is EXCEPTIONALLY accurate

Abolish ICE!

One of the writers best explaining Trumpism right now is not a full-time writer, but @donmoyn.bsky.social, an academic and professor. The Times should give him a column. But for now, you can read his great stuff via his newsletter. Another sharp piece here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

It’s great to be paid for protesting and everything but let me tell you the whole antifa reimbursement process is just terrible

Listen sometimes the situation simply requires a Catholic

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

It's almost enough to make you think that Trump and RFK Jr really just want us all to die as much as possible

Portland is toadily opposed to the violent cruelty of the Trump Administration.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Why isn't there more reporting about how Donny Trumptoinette followed up his doctor's visit with a Friday Night Massacre of CDC, ridding of us of more of our experts in charge of public health and epidemic intelligence? There's a great story to tell here!

Illegally firing the CDC experts while he gets the latest COVID vaccine is really beyond the pale. Marie Antoinette level of vibes.

I am hereby putting a 200% tariff on all fauns dryads and talking beavers as well as turkish delight. Narnia has been very bad to us.

This made me so happy

Knowing who to be mad at truly is praxis.

Just to underscore: VA Senate Dems brought the 🔥, but it’s very clear the text of their letter was directly inspired by public writing from @sivav.bsky.social, a UVA faculty member. Each party worked with the tools at hand, be they brain and words or force of law. Resistance is an ecology.

Poetry of the ordinary, eh

This is what Antifa looks like.

So cool

When you take a leadership position, that means that when people have complaints, they will lay them at your feet. Calling that “harassment” is an announcement of incompetence and weakness. You want people to populate your site/protocol where people share opinions, Jay …

My experience with women is kind of limited, but I think the ones who think french fries are sexy are quite a bit more common than the ones who are turned on by French theory.

This is, after all, the original and authentic meaning of "stay woke." In fact, the perversion of "woke" into an epithet is perhaps the defining metaphor of our moment: Historical victims are not only being revictimized, but also mocked for never forgetting this is always a possibility in the US.

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

Resistance works!

It's iconic! 🐦🐦

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

The essential problem. It was so nice when we used to be able to ignore it, or treat it as merely theoretical.

This is a troll, right?
