It is so FUCKING dumb that this filter is on by default. Here is where to turn it off so we can all be adults and say a bad word sometimes.

The red states are the “taker” states.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Good to see the @nytimes.com is still blindingly irrelevant. These Opinion pieces are a choice. And that choice shows how out of touch their editorial board is. Read the fucking room. WE ARE TAKING OUR DEMOCRACY BACK. Death to all tyrants and the feckless scandal rags that prop them up.

So AOC 3028? Come on Dems, leadership by doddering old men that will never live to see the consequences of their rule is SOOOOO fucking OVER now. Let the young blood of the party show you the way out of the darkness. The old men have failed to meet the moment. We need fresh new ideas.

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Don't threaten me with a good time! Barstool is fucking TRASH. NYC would be better not having them there.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people" portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Friday at last…

CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison. But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon. Today, he got it. If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

"Many religions have attempted to make statues of their gods very large, and the idea, I suppose, is to make us feel small. But if that's their purpose, they can keep their paltry icons. We need only look up if we wish to feel small." -Carl Sagan, The Varieties of Scientific Experience.

Friday at last…

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

I rather like this new pope. Carrying the same message of social justice that the Christian's book should teach them. More of this is needed and less American Prosperity Gospel that puts money above your duty to your fellow man. Your god says to love the poor and downtrodden. Fucking do it.

Just to rub this in...

And Mike Johnson continues to cover for rapists and pedophiles. What dirt do they have on you Mike? Are YOU in the Epstein files?

This is exactly what we need. This is it. "New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

HERO

She's corrupt to the core, which is why she was chosen.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE: Pepper spray the Portland frog Tear gas members of Chicago PD Zip tie children Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night Open fire on a civilian in her car Yet they say immigrants are the threat. Protesters are the threat. We know better.

Up The Green!

Daily reminder that Stephen Miller is a cowardly fascist who will never satisfy a woman. Good old SS Miller is afraid of a giant frog suit.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This is what Stephen Miller's rhetoric gets us. He's a dangerous person and should be locked up forever. (Or dropped into the core of a dying star, whatever it takes to contain such evil)

Porco Rosso is an under-rated Ghibli movie. "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist" is an evergreen quote that's only become more relevant since.

We tried to warn everyone.

Friday at last…

Remember that this is what the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill was all about. It's Robin Hood in reverse. Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?

"For no kingdom can maintain itself by force alone. Force does not work the way its advocates think in fact it does. It does not, for example, reveal to the victim the strength of the adversary. On the contrary, it reveals the weakness, even the panic of the adversary." -James Baldwin

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

"Our perceptions are fallible. We sometimes see what isn't there. We are prey to optical illusions. Occasionally we hallucinate. We are error-prone." -Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

there’s a group of gamergater types cheering about the acquisition of EA by jared kushner and saudi arabia which is crazy because there’s a 100% chance everything they touch gets even worse and the company self destruct. gamers falling for it again award

Maybe this rage filled drunk doesn't have the temperament for leadership. He sure as shit is the least qualified SecDef ever in the history of this country. Maybe a raging alcoholic was the wrong choice for this job...
