Before everyone rushes to judgment, let me just say: I'm sure at least a few NFL owners aren't in the Epstein Files. Maybe as many as 3-4

Quite the blow to meritocracy myths when half the billionaires in the country are in the Epstein files emailing shit like “hey best friend, what should I wear to the crimes party?”

Fully vindicated in his belief that Americans were filthy treatlers who'd accept mass unemployment and a slow recovery over borger getting one dollar more expensive

This has the tone of an NFL Owner writing a letter to season ticket holders to express his disappointment with the way a season went. Not exactly meeting the moment.

It's obvious Trump is a lifeless lump that they juice up for big events and that Miller is running the show. Trump's only power is to know when optics are bad. Not when things are morally bad, but the optics. Doubling down on "kill the libs" is from someone who actually believes in something.

I'm going to easily coast through this decade without ever knowing what the fuck 'Heated Rivalry' is

Unfortunately nonsensical, single issue consumer obsessions like this is are a big reason why were in this mess

Qanon ex (sorta) saying that she’s outraged about Minneapolis on Instagram because she voted Trump for RFK and to bring back beef tallow, not this.

You know, when these types said 'give me liberty or give me death', it woulda been smart to ask which they actually wanted

something else that’s really clear is the extent to which Trump himself is checked out and declining and Miller is running the show Trump used to have some lizard brain sense of optics - not an understanding that things are bad but an understanding that they looked bad that’s completely gone now

you cannot retrain ICE. they are doing what they are hired for: acting as an occupying army to punish those who will not submit to Trump.

You make an example out or one of two of these goons and Schumer would put out an approving message ("A promising start!") and a lot of Middle America would be duped into acquiescence. But these are not smart people. They'd rather double down on 'kill libs'.

b. kristol considered to the left of democratic congressional leadership

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

It just now strikes me that the United States, unlike every other democracy in the world, has never ever ever had an early presidential election. This seems like a problem? Like you need to have an institutionalized path for designating an entire administration illegitimate and voting for a new one?

Stop calling people trying to protect their neighbors and their communities "protesters."

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

That money could’ve ended homelessness in the US, or established UBI for every American, student loan erasure, or supercharged every creative industry in existence to pay artists better, instead of, yknow, blowing it on dead malls full of Elegy of Emptiness statues for rich people I hate it here

That’s the risk part of loving art. Good on him

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Now there's a job I could do

Another lance in the side of the MAGA-Stalinist fantasy that there are scores of American Patriots lined up to take these wage slave jobs

If you were to play out the ultimate 'don't tread on me' fetish and fantasy of the State being at war with the people and the hour to fight back finally being at hand, how would it look any different from what's been going on in MN and coast to coast?

'The Great Influencer' is probably the most coveted and cursed epitaph of our times

"Even History is forced to take that route rather than proceeding by 'signifying breaks.' What is escaping in a society at a given moment? It is on lines of flight that new weapons are invented, to be turned against the heavy arms of the State." —Deleuze & Guattari

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

mfs posting "general strike now!" we can't even get you to stop supporting Amazon and Starbucks

I think there's a bunch of psycho business guys who are concerned about Fucking With The Money but the oligarchs who have hardcore gone for Trumpism would gladly trade most of their wealth if in exchange working Americans were permanently immiserated and enslaved

He said this on Wednesday. It's Sunday now. It's way past time for the full transcript of this interview to be released. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

J. K. Rowling is perfectly psychologically normal for a YA-author Billionaire.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The entire worldview tied up in that answer feels like it's going to haunt me.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This is going to happen again and again and again. We can set the contours of where it happens by locking them up in friendly jurisdictions. This will also help galvanize an anti-ICE political movement. Things are going to be very intense this summer, the next one and one after

And tomorrow they’ll argue the 14th Amendment has secret invisible words that change the meaning. And the day after that they’ll say someone forged Trump’s signature in a 20 year old book somehow. Their project requires it.

"I just don't see how the cold blooded murder of a mother in Minneapolis is going to bring back the 5 for 5 deal at Arby's"

hate it when the trump administration’s killing civilians abroad agenda is temporarily overshadowed by its shooting civilians domestically programs

That this asshole is walking around in jeans really drives home how ICE is populated with a bunch of amateurs who get high on terrorizing and, now, killing Americans.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

It's nothing everyone doesn't already know, but ICE/CBP guys know they can do whatever they want. They're the absolute dregs of the Violence Worker Community, not trained for anything like what they're doing, out of their depth, all that. But it starts with them knowing they won't face consequences.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Democratic leadership doesn't understand that people being disappeared from the kitchen table IS the kitchen table issue.

We're going to the moon in like a month? I feel like I'm reasonably well-informed and I had no idea.

You can't throw this out in the same breath with Germany and Japan. Or even Iraq! As disastrous and illegal as Iraq was, that was the Bush administration's purpose for being. Their obsession. This is more like one kid (Rubio?) bringing in a dead rat for show-and-tell in the worst class of all time.

They get it. They just like him and want to help him rule over us like a king

This is going to become an option to choose death instead of debt. And it will be abused. People who can't afford to live will find they can't afford to die painlessly either because they cannot afford a doctor's visit or the prescribed medication for a terminal diagnosis.
