To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

I don't know why conservatives complain about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish. They never listen to lyrics anyway. They think "Born in the USA" is an upbeat patriotic song. They played "We will rock you" on Trump's rallies to rev up the crowd. Trump jerks off two invisible dicks to YMCA.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

we want a world where fascists can't viably stand for elections because we cultivate a culture that abhors and shuns it. you don't do this by having some narcissistic asshole go "vote for me and eat shit or I'll feed you to your only other option, the nazis" every 4 years.

They know each other because they're fucking neighbors. If they don't know you can get breathing protection at a hardware store, one of their neighbors knows it because their neighbor does woodworking or welding or shit like that, and their neighbor is like "oh yeah let's go to Lowes."

They watched Israel do this with every Palestinian they killed for two years and so they never imagined it wouldn't work

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Oh, are you a national writer with a take on a Brewers transaction? That’s cute.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

So this is what it looks like to build on a lead when you're up 18 going into the half

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

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.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

There honestly cannot be a satire cutting enough to make fun of Americans. What the fuck do you mean the highest colonial ideal you could imagine was a parking lot with McDonald's on both sides

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.

The stadium dimensions giveth and the stadium dimensions taketh away

If the Brewers couldn't contact hit their way to a World Series, I sure hope the Jays pull it off with games like this

Not my home, but I know my way around

The Brewers just pulled off the most chaotic double play you'll ever see

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

if you’re a good innocent person your death should matter more. palestinian children have been dying all day every day without true comment and this one shitstain of a human dying is dominating national news. it should matter more.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

BREAKING: One of three teenagers shot near Evergreen High School has died, a St. Anthony Hospital spokesperson said. They did not say which of the three injured students, which included the alleged shooter, died. coloradosun.com/2025/09/10/e...

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

I assume he meant he was fine with others dying so he could keep his own guns, but the kindest interpretation would be he was so steadfast in his love for the 2A that he himself would die for it. With that version actually happening, it really puts into relief what a hollow thing that is to die for.

Note how blue no matter who is near exclusively used to support bigoted right leaning candidates while that energy disappears when a more socialist leaning candidate like Mamdani does well.

Implying that we need to win on the issue in order to support trans rights further implies that trans people aren’t worth protecting if it’s a losing issue. That’s a fucking monstrous thing to say and any Dem who expresses that idea should be exiled to Antarctica

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

You do not stand up to fascism by lining up your own allies, executing them, shouting 'See how committed we are to our cause!' and then shooting yourself. That's how you become a tragi-comic historical footnote.

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it

One like, one book I love.

Because this is unbearable, I just gave to the Sameer Project - recommended by @prisonculture.bsky.social. linktr.ee/thesameerpro...

I wonder which arcana he levels up.

Can't remember a sweep feeling this good.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

No universal health care. No medical marijuana. Kidnapping of men, women and children off the street. A new war. Rampant wealth inequality. I think the Republicans are right. America has turned its back on God.

Only king I acknowledge

The Bears don't get to claim this Pope. They already showed their hatred of Catholicism.

Today is independent bookstore day! 5 bookstores had a week long book crawl where you could get discounts at each store and an entrance into a drawing if you went to all of them, so here's my haul.

Conservatives: we are gonna do bad things Liberals: we are smart. We will let them do this but very loudly tut tut it *Conservatives destroy everything* Liberals: the left did this... It definitely wasn't our own inaction or telling the leftists they were wrong when they got everything 100% right

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

WISCONSIN CANNOT BE BOUGHT, ELON.

Damn us deciding to do Jim Crow super hard is cutting into our profits. Only one thing to do. What, stop doing Jim Crow super hard? No, silly! Dock the workers' pay. Not the executives of course.

i mean there are many angles to take this at. here's a straightforward, material one that has nothing to do with policy differences: real lack of time, physical space, and money, all of which correlate with each other. "organization" takes all three of these, of which, many people are lacking.

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.
