Donald Trump was posting on Truth Social until 4:10am, including an image of himself as Jesus and multiple posts of the same article, raising alarms about Biden’s cognitive decline.

This is a sentiment you hear a lot from now-elderly people who grew up without a lot of material comforts. Their perceptual and material worlds were pretty well aligned! Now we basically all live in the perceptual world of the wealthy. It’s hard to imagine anyone not knowing what they don’t have.

Me, reading that take:

Um, no. Put this Christian supremacist stuff aside. American warmongers have always quoted New Testament, and Hegseth’s Reconstructionism is particularly invested in it. Matthew 11:12, Matthew 10:34, Matthew 5:29, Romans 13, and, tho not so much for Hegseth, pretty much all of Revelation.

Trump deleted his Trump Jesus post.

After ten plus years of blasphemy they’ve said enough lol

Toward the Pope, an Unusual New Tone

As somebody exiting the technology industry, it really does annoy me that for years and years and years we were all told "learn to code, learn to code, become agile, you should be working in tech" and then that all got farted out the window as soon as they thought they could minimise costs.

Can we talk about what “crime” means here when Trump accuses the pope from Chicago of being insufficiently “tough” or will someone pull up a Wikipedia page to insist crime is a totally anodyne term?

When my children ask me what politics was like before trump, I’ll show them this picture

he got everything he ever wanted and he’s fucking miserable

🎵 butterflies in the sky Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime 🎵

Is he healing Jon Stewart?

Finally, the liberal alternative to the MAGA hat.

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Does Trump think the Pope is Monsignor Martinez? #VayaConDiós

Here she is at the March on Washington wearing her Resistance medals, incredible flex

“I want to support white supremacy but not in a way people can judge me.” US politics.

Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country. Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.

Lord, I've seen what you've done for others...

The way Ed Blum is going after scholarships for people of color right after going after affirmative action Like just in case Black kids still get admitted to college, he wants to make sure they can’t afford to go ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

the viability of many right-wing intellectuals and intellectual spaces is enormously dependent on the largesse of reactionary billionaires and foreign governments, who help them circumvent a marketplace of ideas where they would otherwise post extraordinarily poor sales

Being a contrarian, went to Hyde Park to appreciate the magnolias

"Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you for bombing all those Muslims. Thank you."

every time there's a new poll about the president's popularity you see a bunch of analysis that are gently rephrased ways of saying "these numbers are bad for trump once you factor out the 29% of the electorate who are committed Hitlerites"

jd vance negotiating with Iran

Yeah but that assumes Trump has a theory of society as something more than the individuals who comprise it and with whom you can try to personally make deals and honestly nothing he has ever done suggests that is the case

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

Now that’s what they call a deus ex machina.

Meanwhile, our president and secretary of state are at a UFC event.

Well, someone's going to score more than two runs tomorrow.

All of Trump's policies have been--to one degree or another--inflationary War: inflationary Deficit: inflationary Tariffs: inflationary Politicizing the Fed/loose money advocacy: inflationary Immigration: inflationary Cuts to renewables: inflationary Corruption: inflationary

Yeah that's pretty much how it's been going

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Whilst it’s good that the new Pope is reasserting these points, they are IN FACT Catholic orthodoxy. The ignorance of the basis of one of the world’s biggest religions by US media* & the US general public [not to mention the standards of Christianity] is astonishing.

"So say we ball."

Oh well, it’s definitely not like he spent literal years attacking Obama for giving Iran SO MUCH CASH in the JCPOA
