A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

The reason to not defund all the pillars of a functioning society to save money is that society collapses and no money is saved. The reason to not spend all the money on police and tax breaks for wealthy pricks is then the wealthy pricks have everything in a police state designed to protect them.

This has completely unironically been my lifelong reaction to pasty Brits playing Romans.

Jeffrey Dahmer for President, let’s all just murder and eat each other, yay

What elections are those, Katie?

How exhausting to live in a time when the world is run by people who know how to say things that sound vaguely plausible so long as you’ve never spent time on planet Earth and know nothing about literally anything.

This is literally the ideal scenario.

Lindsay Graham was, I think, one of the most contemptible figures in US politics, a titan of respectable bipartisan foreign policy for years who displayed no principles, no insight, and no beliefs beyond a gleeful and vicarious love of violence. An indictment of every institution he served in. RIP.

They’re already both-sidesing an American Gestapo putting people into concentration camps and deporting them to foreign gulags, so this was probably an inevitable next step

People of Clacton: you could be legends.

Countless thousands of words being typed about Platner on Bluesky today, but this guy has summed the whole thing up with just six

“The ultimate failure of the moderates is that the thing they prize the most—their savvy realism—is a big illusion. When the reality of life is extreme, the radicals are the realists.”

Oh, the horror. The horror

New York Times running dangerously low on pig lipstick.

It’s nice to be ruled by intelligent, serious, mature people

MAGA really is a movement for ethnic cleansing. Lying about law and history to overturn birthright citizenship makes it plain. As do calls for "remigration." The counterargument is that these voters didn't want what their signs called for, and don't feel about it what their facial expressions show.

That this is descriptively true about how to change the US Constitution as of 2026 is all the evidence you need that judicial supremacy—which makes the Supreme Court the *sole* judge of constitutionality in the political system—is plainly incompatible with constitutionalism & the rule of law as such

The right is not going to stop working to destroy birthright citizenship. They know now that it’s close.

How Alito’s own ancestors were seen in 1903 by the bigots he has joined

MAGA is driving America to civilizational suicide

“In a United States with liberty for billionaires and justice for none, what are we even celebrating?”

Theyve mobilized faster against this than anything in the past 10 years and to me that pretty much says it all and justifies what so many have said about them collectively for anyone willing to pay attention

Gotta admit, "If you believe in freedom and dignity for all, but don't hate [all the institutions that explicitly attack freedom and dignity for all]" is quite the encapsulation of the democratic do-nothing moderate. Van is absolutely cooking here, just not the dish he set out to make, it seems.

No matter how depraved you think these people are, it isn’t enough.

... or we will.

we do note the alacrity, intensity, velocity with which these consultant-pickled jagoffs can fight their own colleagues yet never ever fight as an opposition party

As I said yesterday, centrist Democrats sound indistinguishable from Republicans. If you’re not on board with where the party is going, get out.

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

There are some images coming out of New York that are frightening to me. www.instagram.com/p/DZ9BNm-uYuT/

"Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion." - Ben Franklin on Emmers' German ancestors

The establishment Democrats quoted here sound indistinguishable from Republicans. If that’s what they think, why do they belong to the Democratic Party at all?

I hope the DOJ prosecutors responsible for this grotesque affront to intelligence and decency never know a moment’s peace in their miserable, evil lives.

“How dare you actually appeal to voters and win elections. I demand you apologize.” Jesus. Get out of the way, you over-entitled limp dick motherfucker.

The Tea Party was bankrolled by big right-wing money. It wasn’t an outside movement taking over. The money got behind more extreme challengers because they were more aggressive in their wealth-serving goals. The left’s takeover of the Democratic Party has been slow bc the money is on the other side

“Moderate” is not a statement about your beliefs, but about your position in relation to others. In a world of runaway authoritarianism that means being dragged rightward like a tin can on a string behind a car

Frum is such an Islamophobe he thinks the very *existence* of Muslims is antisemitism

It was never "Vote Blue No Matter Who." It was "Vote Blue No Matter What". The "what" was a genocide of children. NYC voters said no. US voters elsewhere are saying no. That Dem elites can't fathom why Americans don't want to fund genocide, war, and mass torture of children is revolting in itself.

“Democrats must stop electing candidates who might actually try to improve something, or Nazis will Nazi harder.” 1) The Nazis are Naziing plenty hard already, and 2) Their political opposition being a gaggle of ineffectual milquetoast moderates is how things got this bad in the first place.

This is the air they breathe, the water they swim in, but people want you to ignore it in the name of comity.

No matter how much you hate these people, you do not hate them enough SCOTUS delenda est

“All who dare oppose our fascism will be sent to prison for the rest of their natural life.”

And America is getting most of the century’s worth in a single four-year presidential term.

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Inshallah

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

They’re using the word “Reconquista” because they’re trying to stealth past normal Americans who don’t know anything about Portuguese and Spanish history. Following the Reconquista there was over 100 years of Inquisition: systematic torture and murder of Muslims, Jews, and assorted “witches”.
