Five House Democrats joined Republicans in voting to treat DC like a colony and give sweeping authority to an unelected, unaccountable, reactionary Trump-created commission: Cuellar Davis Golden Gray Perez

"We have the Barbican at home." The Barbican at home:

the LotR memes will continue until morale improves ⚔️

Another day, another violation of academic freedom in Texas. This time a university is firing a philosophy professor owing to complaints about an off-campus talk he gave on the Israeli-Palestine conflict...

when you raise gas prices you're killing the american dream for the 300 million people in this country for whom their only chance is to get hit by a Lamborghini and an eight figure payout

Congressional Republicans: We can only win this year's elections if we change the rules

Help this shit has me in tears

Elizabeth Banks

Inject it into my veins.

Doritos makes billions each year, but the inventor of triangles is paying his medical bills on gofundme

no innocents in jenin, no innocents in gaza, no innocents anywhere in iran, no innocents in southern lebanon. none too in yemen. none in syria. vanishingly few innocents in qatar. a worrying shortage of innocents in greek, maltese, and tunisian territorial waters

I’m sorry to do cringe mode on a sunday but dems should be branding this as obviously trump’s fault by saying Make America Wait Again

AT THIS RATE HE WILL BE ALTUVE'S HEIGHT BY THE END OF HIS CONTRACT

I own the 7th largest Hyundai dealership in the Tampa St. Pete area and here’s why Reza Pahlavi is the legitimate ruler of Iran

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

I’m buying Doritos in a leveraged buyout. Doritos is going $20 billion into debt to afford me owning it for free. Sounds like a lot, but we’ll earn it all back with my idea for “Dr. Doritos” acetaminophen-dusted medical chips

it's the same thing everywhere. "if i don't win, the election wasn't legitimate."

The eternal paradox: can the Ellisons create a media conglomerate so large there aren't enough Epstein associates to staff it?

me, dead and at the gates of Hell: but why I am going to the ninth level, for betrayers? who have I betrayed? a demon, poring over his book: it says here that you made Rodger get up off your lap after he was comfortable. me: I didn’t know that counted. a demon: it’s the main thing we look at.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.

buff 👏 defect

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

It's fucked up that we have to both shit AND piss. So inefficient. Birds have it down to a single emission, can we really say we're so much more evolved?

an 80s style movie montage of a guy watching numerous actual 80s movie montages

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

i think what we need now more than ever is slow, incremental change

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

Louvre heist guys clearly played Blue Prince

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I hope this ishmael finds you whale

Why be scared that Iran has nuclear weapons, since nuclear weapons don’t kill people, people kill people

If you say that America is poised to institutionalize a police state - that the reality of concentration camps and regularized disappearances will become an ongoing facet of life - you'll still receive eye-rolls and clucked tongues. But that is not a possibility of this budget, it is the purpose.

Cannot emphasize in how many different ways Zohran Mamdani seems to have answered the questions Democrats have been asking since November, and the response has been "no not like that"

Mamdani turned up at BAYO at Barclay Center yesterday and said he was going to fight to get Haiti off the travel ban and he said Haiti correctly

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

It will be a great injustice if ICE isn't abolished and its leaders imprisoned

“hi i’m johnny knoxville, welcome to jackass.”

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out after being released from ICE detention. "The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here," Khalil said.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight
