this isn’t funny portlanders only turn into inflatable frogs when their neighbors are being kidnapped by a fascist secret police force

men used to do this instead of fascism

we don't really get to choose anymore whether ai exists, so we just have to raise it right

I'm sorry but saying joe biden, the most progressive president of our lifetimes, who passed a bunch of enormous climate and stimulus legislation, put lina khan in charge of the FTC, marched on picket lines, etc., is "not as bad" as donald trump is just deeply misleading. it's a category error

my blue sky twitter page is so boring because its all complaining about fascism. it used to be fun to Post

funniest disclaimer i have ever seen

comedy now legal again?

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Great call. Cancel Disney+ immediately and don't spend money at Disney. Right now a final decision is pending. Now is the best time.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

this is actually political violence

Fox News needs to fire Greg Gutfeld

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Trump is preparing to target liberal non-profits and Democratic funding networks with executive orders as "punishment" for their alleged involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder. Meanwhile there's no evidence the shooter was left-wing & most political violence is right-wing www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

please watch your behavior in these troubled times. it is extremely disrespectful to charlie kirk’s legacy to empathize with his widow or other victims of gun violence

It is time for media to cover the community of tens of thousands of active and open neo-Nazis on Twitter, who publicly talk about adoring Hitler and killing Jews and minorities, who are frequently retweeted by Elon Musk, and who are currently working hard to incite mass violence.

The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

RFK isn't "unqualified" he is "anti-qualified". An unqualified person would do a significantly better job.

We need cheap rent so idiosyncratic weirdos can make a living pursuing their passions.

Someone please kill me right now.

I bet he'd hate if this side-by-side went viral.

just heard they are coming out with a new switcheroo

I’m sorry, this is just a terrible frame. The last two decades of progress were real and immense, and they’re being undone because authoritarian reactionaries have seized the government, a terrifying collapse of the liberal order. This wasn’t some predestined endpoint of “neoliberalism.”

The president trafficked & raped underage girls. The evidence is overwhelming at this point.

one of the easiest and worst functions of online culture is to serve you back your own despair

Taken at face value, we have here a palm beach hotelier noticing that a local hedge fund manager—a guy who doesn’t run a publicly acknowledged competing hospitality business—keeps hiring the teenage girls out of his spa.

"Right-wing operators in particular are groomed and trained to argue to embrace bad-faith argument as a tactic. And yet even in the Trump era, when the bad faith is so thinly veiled, liberals remain reluctant to treat it as disqualifying." Man oh man is @brianbeutler.bsky.social right about this.

everything is still gamergate

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social fuck you

Jerry Brown once said CEQA reform is "the lord's work." With all due respect to any divinity that may or may not exist...this work got done by Gov. Newsom, Speaker Rivas, Asm. Wicks, Sen. Wiener, and thousands of YIMBYs across California.

a really fun thing is that chatgpt voice mode will claim to have watched any movie you ask it about

“People’s suspicion the system is rigged against them” is not “progressive material politics,” it’s something a lot darker and potentially more corrosive, that can easily curdle into reaction and conspiracism

I increasingly feel certain that the thing that has driven politics insane is the growing ability of people to find ways to validate their beliefs, no matter how incorrect and irrational. It started in right-wing media but has become central to all political discussion.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social some incredible reporting here

@dark1x.bsky.social FYI Hitman on Switch 2 performs better (and looks terrible) if you lower the output resolution in the system

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

Not sure how many people realize that battery storage already supplies 30% of California’s electricity demand at peak. Batteries aren’t the future — they’re here now.

words matter a bit for rhetorical and political purposes but mostly you should consider them loose proxies for ideas that you can just modify and agree on for each conversation

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
