See also: MAGA and former MAGA electeds like MTG. There’s a reason they held those jobs.

Never forget: if any of these people were ok, trump would never have hired them in the first place.

Or a simpler way to put it is that’s it’s the country club not the temple or mosque that holds the informal power networks in the US.

He illegally invaded Venezuela and removed the head of state before Iran! Was threatening Greenland before that. Was Israel goading Trump into that as well? Be fr. Netanyahu and various US leaders have been bosom buddies for decades but the US ALWAYS has agency.

I think one good reason to point out this isn’t true is that he’s already looking to “take over” Cuba. Pinning his choices on Israel really allows people to talk around all the killing being done in the Caribbean in pursuit of that goal.

“He was deceived by Israel” is going to be the story so many people are going to reach for and I think creating this stabbed in the back myth is going to have some really bad consequences down the line.

3/5 If you grew up Republican and voted Republican and volunteered for Republicans and now want to leave that life, I say GREAT GOOD JOB DO IT. But having demonstrated such poor judgment, having harmed so many people, now your job is to listen and support. You are not fit to lead.

A lot of the Kat Abu and Graham Platner discourse is white people trying to absolve themselves of supporting Republicans up until now. Their defenders center themselves in everything, and any criticism of these candidates’ very recent MAGA pasts is taken personally. It’s bullshit. 1/5

@grahamformaine.bsky.social blamed women for sexual assault, saying they should "take some responsibility for themselves" and "act like an adult." Here's what Maine women had to say about his words.

This is a powerful article. Check it out!

Next in line for hiring: - Hair Salons (must've watched Legally Blonde) - Car Mechanics (must've watched Cousin Vinny) - Teamsters (must've watched Hoffa) - ...

Excuse my language, but Trump is a delusional, narcissistic, lying piece of shit.

The Trump Administration is reassigning staff from the World Trade Center Health Program - the program that cares for our 9/11 survivors and first responders - to work at ICE.

A judge ruled against the government‘s anti-vaccine policy, a major setback to RFK Jr’s Leave No Child Left Alive initiative.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

oh god PLEASE send me new grads, I am literally begging the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota to hire new grads to stare down the barrel at the horde of pissed-off litigators currently besieging their office

Trump really just getting to make every childhood nightmare of mine happen. I stg I’m out of here if we get sharks in bathtubs or quicksand on the playground.

I think people often conflate asset and agent.

And bigots would rather have the extra two or three entries that whiteness gives them in the crowdfunding lottery than have a good life with equality at the root of it.

We struggle to exist from GoFundMe to GoFundMe while our government officials thrive serving billionaires and foreign nations.

To hell with the "generosity of strangers." I'm so tired of this racist-ass Temu country! Other countries have stable social safety nets built into their governing bodies because their people don't live in fear of a black person somewhere out there getting something they "don't deserve."

Even I didn't think the final evolution of the Southern Strategy would be this brutal. White supremacy cannot be worth this.

This is a very, very, quite surprisingly dead canary in Stephen Miller’s coal mine. I’d say the violence and cruelty of ICE/CBP is most definitely a kitchen table topic if this is where the backlash is reaching.

Their mascot is just a dude in a hoodie meeting his ex wife in a Walmart parking lot picking up his kids for visitation

Pentagon has one month remaining to provide to a federal court its records justifying Secretary Pete Hegseth censure of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) On Feb 12, DC judge granted Sen. Kelly’s motion for a preliminary injunction on his First Amendment claim against Hegseth

Years ago, I made a joke about billionaires on Twitter without mentioning anyone by name, and this guy, whom I've never followed and never exchanged any messages with, blocked me. So I guess he uses the time other people use for introspection on seething resentment instead.

But he's not! He's an ex-blackwater nepo baby whose highest public office is "mr boats" so we're forced to try to figure out who he is based on his (admittedly very left) public statements, his weird reddit posts fantasizing about fighting in America's most imperialist wars, and his SS tattoo!

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Israel does a lot of terrible things that we must demand an end to. This is true of many states. But it is extremely noticeable that before its creation antisemites blamed Jews for not having a state and afterwards they blamed Jews for having one.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

the Real Message of Sinners is that Ryan Coogler is so damn good that he can make a passion-project horror-musical with both leads played by the same man and get it within spitting distance of Best Picture

1/? SPOILERS: In light of a the BAFTAS, Oscars and the state of the U.S. in general, I have decided to update this thread I did last year on "Sinners". I have a lot to say. There are even more analogies between Remmick and leftists and people, who use Black people overall.

this is not an anti-war protest, this is an anti-jew protest

This is important, make the call.

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

Watching Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food…this particular strain is serious

Well THANK GOD I buy nothing but old ass cars lmao

Meta purposely making their DMs un-encrypted and rolling out facial recognition equipped surveillance glasses in the same year in the midst of an attempted fascist takeover of the United States tells you everything you need to know about Meta

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

A lot of it from Vienna. Hmm.

Your financial illiteracy is spending 80K on a brand new car while still in school My financial illiteracy is spending $100 on a books that will take me months to get to We are not the same

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius: “There will be no military participation.. We have a situation which we did not provoke.. This war started without any consultations.. What does Trump expect from a handful of European frigates in Strait of Hormuz that the mighty US Navy can't manage alone?"

mom can you pick me up at the strait of hormuz, my friends are laughing at me and wont help

I know it’s apparently only salient to most American media outlets to talk about oil, but for the few remaining people left with a soul, thousands of people live on this tiny island in only 8 sq miles. This reads like a serial killer prison interview.

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

EXCLUSIVE: Justice Dept to receive referral today to probe Kristi Noem for perjury open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

Zinzi Coogler worked with deaf advocacy non-profits in the Bay Area before transitioning into film production. The BASL (Black American Sign Language) version of Sinners released on HBO Max in July 2025, marked the first time a streaming platform has exclusively offered a film in this dialect.

It you watch one thing from the Oscars, let it be this…

I know it makes ppl mad at me for saying this, but justifying the Luigi shooting contributed to justifying the Israeli diplomats shooting which is just a step away from justifying bombing a synagogue with ties to Israel, which ppl are actually doing rn... we need to get away from the violent urges.
