Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on. The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

A lawsuit laying out, step by step, just how cluelessly, dangerously wrong Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opinion and the majority's vote from earlier this month were. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-tru...

im sorry but this is all i could hear from jimmy kimmel's clip of the tylenol conference 💀

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Two tall glasses please 😻

Every journalist, pundit, and entertainer in the country that doesn't want to bend the knee to Trump needs to figure out a way off corporate platforms ASAP www.garbageday.email/p/petty-powe...

In light of reporting on the planned new assault on transgender individuals: "We have a presidential administration which seeks to curtail their rights. We have a powerful political movement that wishes to make them afraid. This is wrong. It’s also un-American." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-stephe...

Charlie Kirk is a means to an end: defector.com/charlie-kirk...

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

if kimmel is edgy we are so fucked

the best response to Trump remains telling him to fuck off loudly and clearly appeasement doesn’t work in general but it very explicitly does not work on that guy

I am the bulge that God noticed

America sure is online now

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

being online right now feels like being harry and marv just getting walloped by paint cans to the face ... except it is posts

weird to see the culture move from “video games cause violence” to “video games are the only Rosetta Stone we have for discerning the mind of violent people” in my lifetime

media: i'd like to see the left wriggle out of this one! [the shooter is revealed to be a psycho right winger like nearly all shooters] media: ah, well, nevertheless

the murder that’s not on every front page nationwide

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's Bolsonaro sentenced to more than 27 years in prison after Supreme Court panel convicts him of attempting coup.

It’s kind of like if you could give a culture a concusssion

One of the most common forms of political violence is hitting protesters with cars. It went from being shocking and universally condemned in 2017 (Charlottesville) to being applauded by the mainstream right in 2020, which saw more than 100 vehicle ramming attacks on protesters, including 2 deaths.

How Charlie Kirk practiced politics

Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

the tone around this killing of some doofy ass pundit is already far more grave and serious than when a bunch of democratic politicians got filled with holes

Just took a brief dive into X, and when people bring up Melissa Hortman, the responses are almost all “oh, you mean the person who was shot by a Tim Walz employee?” They also still believe that Paul Pelosi was attacked by a gay lover. You cannot make them believe any violence comes from the right.

Welcome to McCarthyism 2.0. The difference this time is that it’s not a relatively junior Senator doing it via committee hearings, but the White House doing it with full cooperation from virtually every arm of the federal and red state governments.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

It’s a meme that lots of things broken in modern America can be traced back to the Reagan administration. This administration is going to have him beat by a country mile. History books will be in awe at America’s massive self own.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

The AP & Reuters write a letter to Israel demanding answers about the multiple strikes on a hospital that first killed journalists, then the rescue workers - live on tv. Netanyahu called it a “tragic mishap” www.ap.org/the-definiti...

Everyday my vast and beautiful soul looks more and more like a mountain of shit

ICYMI: @propublica.org wanted to know how much federal health agencies had been gutted. The administration wouldn’t tell us, so we figured it out our own way. Lots of charts and deep reporting on what this means for you: projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

being in ICE or Border Patrol must be so crazy right now, you’re walking around as the disposable henchmen you can kill without qualms in the coming century of films and video games

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

“How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?” asks ⁦‪Prem Thakker,‬⁩ in the wake of Israel’s killing of ⁦‪Anas al Sharif. ‬⁩

The student newspaper. This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

I read something this year (probably on here, for my sins) that, contemporaneously, no one knew the Roman Empire was falling forever, just that one day an important bridge collapsed and no one ever came to fix it. I think about this all the time.

Yeah this would probably radicalize me in ways I dont want to fully contemplate if I was in this man's position

I say it all of the time but I need to repeat this. Talk to elders who were activists and organizers in previous eras because they will share how much in the minority they were.

The EPA's proposal to take down the endangerment finding that enables greenhouse gas emission reductions is already having an impact. EPA has delayed its methane rule in preparation of eliminating it altogether. James Baratta reports. prospect.org/environment/...
