The right’s whole “I will punish you for not liking me enough” shtick is just pathetic. Maybe try not being garbage people instead?

You know, I was thinking we should let Baron pass unless he brought attention to himself (it’s not his fault his parents are horrible people). Well, he’s an adult now, and if he accepts this position, that’s that 🤷

Brilliant idea! I’m up for it

particle.news/share/sEbcx Has either too stupid to understand what a cognitive test is, or he thinks his supporters are. Neither is a good look.

I’ve long said that one of the differences between progressives and conservatives is which bothers you more: that someone somewhere is getting something they don’t deserve, or that someone somewhere is suffering unjustly. Actions and justifications flowing from the right this year prove my point

Wait, did Kash Patel ever have credibility? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

So, *now* they’re concerned about online radicalization? What happened to “free speech absolutism?” They’re aware the shooter was one of theirs, right? particle.news/share/9i5Qf

Poor Kash Patel. He just wanted to play dress up and now everyone is yelling at him!

I’m now available to vibe-cleanup your vibe-code. My vibe-pricing structure is very reasonable!

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

So, to these people, refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple is cool, but refusing to print a poster honoring a bigot is a crime? Is that right? particle.news/share/avQEd

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

If only they cared this much when a classroom full of children get shot

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

Does anyone need a new t-shirt? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... (yes, I know, ew Amazon... they're literally the only place I've found that sells t-shirts that actually fit me well)

So, the incompetent clown is incompetent? We’re surprised by this? particle.news/share/Vonmx

So when do we start talking about barring straight white men from owning guns? You know, since they do most of the murdering and all (I say this as a straight white man who’s not at all happy about the association, but it is what it is)

You know, it’s ok to both abhor political violence, and at the same time refuse to mourn a man who would’ve happily danced on the graves of people I love.

Just to point out, Charlie Kirk celebrated the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband. That’s not to say violence against him is justified, only that if you live by the sword…

particle.news/share/OnXAT Why to the right wing nuts always seem to think everyone should be legally required to like them and pat them on the head and tell them what good little boys and girls they are?

I really do think that most people, no matter how destructive, are the heroes of their own story in their minds. Miller, though, seems to revel in being the villain.

Someone with deep pockets (I’m thinking a charitable organization, not a billionaire) needs to create a National Museum of Objectionable Art and prominently display everything the MAGAs hate. Put things in there that I hate too. So long as it doesn’t harm a vulnerable population, have at it!

They talk big about free speech until their widdle feewings get hurt.

There is no limit to the incompetence of this administration

"A new study offers a deceptively simple solution for preventing AI from teaching users to build biological weapons: don't train the models on that dangerous information in the first place." Umm... Obviously? www.perplexity.ai/discover/you...

Ok, I really needed that 🤣

What a bunch of losers 🙄

The *hero* we need? :) Also, I want "I did it. I threw the sandwich" on a shirt

I mean, good, but nothing that’s happened since the election has been a surprise. Maybe shocking in scope and velocity, but not a surprise

Everyone should feel safe, except trans people, the homeless, Hispanic people, gay people, women, etc... Also note that Hegseth is an accused rapist and possible war criminal, and Trump is a convicted rapist (yeah yeah, technicalities, don't care) and probable pedophile...

Otherwise known as a tax. Or a bribe, depending on how it's collected and what it's used for. www.forbes.com/sites/siladi...

particle.news/share/2KAWt If we don’t starve all the children to death, the terrorists win!

This is beyond absurd. They’re not doing anything illegal, there is no crime to pursue or prosecute, pure political theater. particle.news/share/92l1Z

If only big business hadn't spent the last half century gleefully offshoring both expertise and production... They fucked around, and now we're finding out.

Yes! This! A thousand times, this! And don't give me that "incremental change" bullshit. We've been trying it their way for the last century, and it hasn't worked yet. In fact, we've moved backwards. So how about we try something different? Something we know will work? What if we didn't suck?

Wow, he kept his cool in a way I would never be able to (though I'll bet living every day in TN as a black man gives him lots of practice that I can't even *fathom* dealing with). No part of this is OK, continue to name and shame!

According to new polling, the Democratic Party's favorability is now the lowest it's been in 35 years. This is what happens when Democrats start chasing the "center" instead of fighting for working people. https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?feature=shared

What does that even mean?

This is not how actual, functional adults behave.

Trump shared a deepfake of Obama being arrested, as if that might scare us off from holding presidents accountable. Like, dude, if there's actual evidence, and a fair trial, most of us would be cheering. When we say “no one is above the law”, we actually mean it.

She does love to play dress up, don’t she? I especially like the… student, I think? The glasses have literally no other purpose beyond being part of the costume

"The raids... follow a common, systematic pattern. Individuals with brown skin are approached or pulled aside by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a show of force... In these interactions, agents typically have no prior information about the individual and no warrant of any kind"

Oh good. The military dick-waving on US soil is always a good sign.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

on the other hand, good things are also happening.

How dare you threaten me with a good time!

This is actually worse than I assumed: *DOGE officials looked at SSA data, did not understand it and claimed there was fraud *SSA career staff explained the data showed no fraud *DOGE: we don’t trust civil servants, will hand power to a 21 year old intern Nothing could convince them they are wrong
