i dont understand how any honest person can read or watch something about the nazis and not see the parallels in modern american conservatism. all of the elements are there. every single one.

yeah we’re gonna have to ban prediction markets

This is like the most blatant evidence that we need to tax the fuck out of the rich. “You have so much money that you can blow $1m on a jacket used by a CEO? Fuck you, your money is now going to help public schools and libraries.”

Casually threatening mass rapes

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

All the ways Trump has gutted efforts to stop foreign election interference: -laid off a third of CISA employees -disbanded FBI task charged with combatting foreign election interference -eliminated DHS teams combatting foreign disinformation -fired all the EAC commissioners

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

ICE killed another person.

it’s hard to explain how much shit like this has radicalized people. like i’m a white middle-aged broad who’s always been liberal but i’ve gone full-on “abolish ICE/reform scotus/the next dem candidate must commit to mass prosecutions” and you will not sway me from that position.

It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet. These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.

Say hell no to Todd Blanche

ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

You stupid motherfuckers

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

Happening right in front of us. The world's richest man.

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Someone make sure Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy and Jon Cornyn are all these posts about Lindsey Graham’s legacy. Slim chance they’ll be motivated to do anything in their closing months but at the very least they can wallow in the awareness that this is waiting for them too

A few words on the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spent the last ten years of his life eagerly helping Donald Trump in his quest to destroy American democracy. youtu.be/z4HMequIiiY

"Lindsey Graham, Proud War Hawk, Has Died. Here He Is in His Own Words" The South Carolina senator and staunch Trump ally, who passed away suddenly on Saturday night, wanted to 'level' Gaza and invade Cuba, joked about killing Ted Cruz, and salivated over bombing Iran. My piece for Zeteo today:

Dear Democratic politicians, Lindsey Graham deliberately chose to spend his last years making the lives of people in the US and abroad as miserable as possible. The fact that he also had that certain brand of charming southern geniality for his colleagues makes it worse, actually.

I get they aren’t going to dance on his grave, but I’m so tired of these Democrats who see Republicans as their friends who they just have polite disagreements with. Lindsey Graham was a monster who tried to end American democracy while cheerleading wars abroad but so glad he was nice to you.

The Friedmanites have this neat little trick where they say "Well of course this isn't a free market, if we had real capitalism things would work much better and profit would reflect real value creation." Then they defend big business and billionaires against criticism as if it were real capitalism.

Wouldn’t it be great if economics classes explained to people how all this shit actually works instead of all the Milton Friedman nonsense?

welcome to the Age of Diarrhea

I’m old enough to remember when this kind of thing would end a presidency.

If the argument here is "Brad Lander is too safe as a Jew in diaspora to tell Israeli Jews how to keep safe," that sits uncomfortably with the argument that a Jewish state is necessary to keep Jews safe.

www.ms.now/opinion/epst... Is everyone from Blanch down included in the Epstein files? That would explain the terror every time they’re told to publish them.

Remember folks: Paxton Protects Pedophiles

You know inequality must be bad when even Mitt Romney thinks there’s too much money concentrated in the hands of a few Out here sounding like @aoc.bsky.social & Bernie! (So hundreds of billions is fine but Mitt draws the line at a trillion apparently)

In anything close to a normal society with basic morality, Trump would have been driven from office long before the courts had to repeatedly ordered him to pay his rape victim $5 million. We are an obscene, failed society.

"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."

This was perhaps the ultimate presidency-ending scandal when Joe Biden made the exact same, simple transposition mistake during what was otherwise a lengthy and detailed conversation about foreign affairs at a 2024 NATO summit.

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

yeah nobody's ever letting any of this go lol

Just now at Mt. Rushmore: Trump renews calls to pass election overhaul, saying “if we do…we will not lose an election for 100 years.”

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

It’s 100 degrees outside in DC. People have been waiting in line for about 45 minutes to get into the “Great American State Fair”

Nazi march in the Capitol on July 4th.

Now *this* is the way to report this story: Trump made his billion while his investors (read: his marks) lost $3.8 billion. That is theft. Gift link. Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

And here we are...again.

…to the disabled person the immigrant, the trans person, the queer person, the woman, the dissident, the Native person, the unjustly incarcerated person, the unhoused person, the disappeared person, the sick person who can't get healthcare, the childred who had their education and food access cut, t

the claim of fraud is simply the claim that americans who vote for democrats are not legitimate members of the political community and their votes shouldn't count.
