I mean,

correct. they're going to LSU because in Louisiana you can buy to-go daiquiris in the drive thru, and hard liquor in the gas station, and it's ~an hour away from both Bourbon Street and Biloxi

folks just constantly out there confusing BBQ and grilling, right and left

All the complaints about her campaign are basically stupid nitpicks and the people convinced they’d have changed EVERYTHING by adjusting the words in her ads or whatever are out of their minds. Trump’s support was built out of years of irresponsible false nostalgia for his hellish first presidency

Anti-woke messaging is a net negative among Democrats

"We're shutting down the special sham courts we built to make deportations much easier, because we're too dumb & mean to see the value of a sham effort; we expect this will make deportations easier" says most competent fascists of all time

a clever interviewer could probably bait him into implying that he's the antichrist

Anti-woke, worse—a lot worse, tbh—than woke. “The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a ‘racist.’” mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

this is, also, why the MAGA project will fail they're desperately trying to hold a shrinking coalition together: at this point, it's a combination of a small group of open white supremacists, and a much larger group who - at least subconsciously - understand they can't be that way in public

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

y’all know I was skeptical but Spanberger has been great. Her people have been great. Had a meeting earlier today with some of her folks and they’re saying exciting things about employee rights and enforcement. very happy so far.

This seems to be an interesting development after Bill Clinton agreed to testify publicly

cc: Brett Kavanaugh

genuinely jazzed to see what kind of drama this asshole spins up among the enemy lmfao

Roasted some chicken & carrots & fennel & made a small salad & then I walked outside & was in a farm in Breton, light glinted off hay, I was wearing a thin linen shirt that went semi-transparent in the strong directional sunset. “Yes,” I thought, “I shall bathe in the crystalline stream.”

as a DSAer who teaches in our new member orientation program that our collective reluctance to fully include minorities as equal members of society would not simply disappear if we ended capitalism tomorrow, I would modify this to "harder-left movements" but otherwise I co-sign this sentiment

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

I would make pacts with the darkest gods to see the people responsible for this condemned

please check on your white southern friends right now because there's a solid chance our brains have all just exploded (laudatory)

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

using the language of organized crime to describe the WH is correct and good IMO

black, of course, being a famously steadfast color choice for an outdoor structure that bakes in the desert sun all day every day

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

As a side note to Paul's point — which I co-sign — I find it unfortunate that the language has evolved such that the radical/reactionary distinction is no longer in common use, leaving us with only 'radical' to describe a wide range of contradictory behaviors and aims. RETVRN.

I've never been a conspiracy theory guy, but you're never gonna convince me that there hasn't been a specific cabal of ultra-rich dullards trying to buy, strangle, and bring to heel all of the most important reality-shaping machines since the uptick in power labor had during COVID

At least the Nazis went to the trouble of passing the Nuremberg Laws and making the brutality and totalitarianism street legal. The gutlessness of the American run at fascism is that they want to do it simply by pretending the Bill of Rights never existed or meant anything.

for what it's worth to anyone with MAGA family, that's the sentiment that broke through to my mom: Trump is everything you raised me not to be it does make at least some of them stop and think for a minute. especially if they are religious, I have found

continuing the most vexing trend of Boomers being slightly *better* than Gen X on a policy issue

The people of Minneapolis have performed in a way all of us should aspire to. It is a beautiful, awe-inspiring moment. One to learn from. That they are subject to the complaints and meddling of a bunch of nerds on the computer desperate to be the "vanguard" or whatever is fucking pathetic.

hunter biden is just a simple man with a dangerous hobby. I'll take him over the average Harvard economics professor any day

Chattanooga Charlie says "Fuck you Phil" It's a calendar, not a shadow.

Mark have you checked with the giant multinational corporations that traditionally fund your party because I think they'd have some questions about this new idea y'all have come up with

"they're going to have pictures of us, oh no" this is pathetic

Right, there were a couple stories about DHS using facial recognition technology and now people are going absolutely crazy about the prospect that their face might be captured. The paranoia is nuts - you're not doing anything illegal! But they've made you afraid to go outside!

holy shit, it's a United Methodist church they raided southerners get in here, what the fuck

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

cooked

They're cooked.

All men are brothers

FWIW the majority of players liked it, and one gave this quote:

wait is Bad Bunny jacked?? TIL

they're seeing ghosts in the form of "liberal" women absolutely everywhere right now lmao

my brother in Christ, the Augusta National golf club only admitted its first woman member in *the year of our lord 2012*

This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.

it takes a tremendous amount of force to traumatically tear someone's rotator cuff in a single move like that. that poor woman, my god

lol, and if I may editorialize, lmao *SPACEX: SPACE-BASED AI IS THE ONLY WAY TO SCALE THE TECHNOLOGY *SPACEX: SPACE-BASED AI IS THE ONLY WAY TO SCALE THE TECHNOLOGY

Neither Trump nor the GOP in congress have this power, & the only way they do this is if we decline to stand up for our rights. He's had a string of electoral defeats & rightfully fears the midterms. His outbursts are real threats, but they come from weakness. Tough shit, he's going down. No Kings.
