Something that makes me feel insane is that it's still not the mainstream opinion of the mainstream Democratic Party that tech billionaires are their enemies. They want to collaborate with the MechaHitler guy who spent several months breaking the federal government

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

This is because Johnson and Johnson has PR worms at every newspaper on payroll and not because of any noble reason They are gonna sue his pants off

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

I think more reporters should append "... and remember, Jesus is watching you," to questions before posing them to Caroline Leavitt.

It is a long running bipartisan position that ‘terror’ suspects can be killed without evidence or process and that ‘drugs’ are a major problem that require a military solution. Both wrong, but this is how we got here.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

every "centrist" columnist who moans about Blueskyism is like, "Look, if twitter was clearly a huge con job to fool people into thinking that everyone is more conservative than they actually are, don't you think I'D NOTICE? I'm not an IDIOT!"

The first time I was every called "ma'am" I was standing in the doorway of a Subway, unwittingly causing the "door is open" alarm to go off, and the poor woman behind the counter had to spend two minutes trying to get my attention because it didn't occur to me it was possible she was yelling at *me*

PREACH

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

It's important to note that Ezra Klein and his merry band of centrist clowns very often are just plain MISINFORMED. They don't understand the history and politics behind the garbage ideas they push. Vibes-based fascism support from the "left" is not only morally abhorrent, it's deeply ignorant.

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

"Vote blue no matter who" unless you're the party leadership and the question is "should your own party's candidate be the next mayor of the largest city in the country with the world's largest metropolitan GDP in the state you ostensibly represent?"

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Right Now from memory: "I like an escalator b/c an escalator can never breakdown. It can only become stairs. You'll never see an 'escalator temporarily out of order' sign. Its always 'escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there'"

Walking to work this morning I passed a squirrely little guy on his phone who wasn't paying attention and, I guess, got startled by my footstep. He jumped, spun around, and shouted "jesus, lady! You scared me! I almost knocked you out!" Without really thinking, I just said, "no, you didn't."

Turns out it was a bad idea to fund little armies that hate you in every locality

The Democratic tent already had many, many anti-abortion democrats, who got wiped out because — and this is the crucial point! — independents and republicans *did not vote for them*

Nothing in the rulebook says a bucket of blood can't play basketball

I'm not loving how every failed presidential candidate gets paid the entire budget of the publishing industry that year to write a book called I Learned Nothing

Laura Ingraham doesn't get enough credit as one of the most consistently predominate advocates of political violence in the media. If a Democrat stubs their toe, you can bet she'll run a segment applauding the crack in the sidewalk.

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

This kind of repudiation of the Supreme Court by a state Supreme Court justice is very rare. But — speaking as a former Alaska Supreme Court clerk — this is also part of their structural purpose. There’s a reason our rights can be, and often are, given *better* protection under state constitutions.

I haven't even read the list, but I highly endorse all three books in the cover image

I’m also beginning to think the endless right-wing focus on letting both students and faculty make bigoted remarks in college classrooms wasn’t about protecting academic freedom or promoting intellectual diversity.

The final cut was un-airable *for Sinclair* I’m dying

The fact that Charlie Kirk was viewed as some kind of a Titan of free speech and debate shows a bizarre trend where it somehow became acceptable for adult non student conservatives to invade college campuses and talk about why women and black people shouldn’t have basic civil liberties

I still remember standing with a group of people talking about astrology for the umpteen millionth time and, trying to participate, said something about Scorpios. They were like "oh, Red! We know you don't believe in this!" In that moment, I vowed never to pretend to care about that bullshit again.

If it was possible to pick up Republican voters at scale by being more moderate and representing the center of politics, we would've won 2016 & 2024, and 2020 would've been a massive blowout creating a Congressional supermajority. It doesn't work in a polarized electorate!

Fucking incredible to lose to a sundowning racist gameshow host, one of the most humiliating political defeats in American history, and then put out a book like "no no no, you guys got it all wrong, I hate trans people too!"

Message boards used to moderate out Nazi content.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Cold, salt and a meal, sprinkled with just a quarter cup of parsley for color and freshness, are the perfect blank canvas for practically any stew or braise

So so so much of everything happening today is down to Sensible Centrists being too desperate to be taken seriously by far-right clowns.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

"Black people, women, and queer people are inferior and should not be permitted to participate in society. That goes double & triple for anyone who happens to be more than one or all of those things," is not a "challenging idea." It is one of the oldest, least interesting thoughts a person can have.
