It's passingly clever in some respects because the 80's nostalgia also allows them to tie a younger Trump to a rose-tinted view of the Reagan years. But imo that really isn't the goal here, the entire point of this video is to have the government doing literal Nazi memes on main

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

🫧 Firms fueling AI mania know they're contributing to a bubble — it's part of their business strategy.

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

On the one hand Trump is cruel, predatory and a dictator in the making. He believes he owns the country. On the other (no real contradiction), this is entirely plausible. This presidency is an erratic/predatory ID being run and directed by a small handful of toadies and degenerate policy hands.

Oh we are SO getting Celeborn returning from imprisonment, haunted by the horrors of war

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Referring to Autism as a problem is fucking eugenics.

I always made fun of pre-2020 German politicians that were afraid of inflation like the Plague, turns out they were right!! Prices rising are the one thing that cuts through every messaging, chart and metric that you can throw at people, it is not even irrational per se!

They gave up on pseudo-science, now it's anti-science. They no longer try to make it look like authentic science, instead the hook is, "this is not what the scientists and doctors tell you, and that's how you know you can trust it." Depressingly, this view controls the whole federal government.

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven

Pope Leo is said to have accepted Cardinal Dolan's resignation and to have picked his successor as New York archbishop. Will Dolan serve in retirement as spiritual advisor to Turning Point USA? In any event, his adherence to the GOP is far stronger than his adherence to the Catholic Church.

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

I'm a little ashamed to admit that TIL that the opposition to evolution in some sectors is because it means that white people and black people share a common ancestor and that narrative undermines white supremacy.

The recent BSG convention from was so fun, but I have to tell you something disturbing I learned. You know the tubs they used for cylon rebirth? They would save the goo each time & reuse it. So actors would feel other people‘s hair within the goo. Not sure I’ll ever get over knowing this.

I often think how among all the other things it is against, fascism (and its attendant authoritarianisms and make-believes) is fundamentally a war against complexity—against the inherent complexity and multiplicity of the universe and social reality—and against any efforts to understand them as such

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

stop. carrying water. for the fascists. They do not have the power they want people to think they do. it is almost all posturing. Shit is BAD. there is a LOT of bad they are doing. But the game is far from lost, buck up, and stop falling for their psych outs.

Patients are more likely to die in the ER when private equity buys a hospital. That’s the price of corporate greed. This is why I will continue to fight for my Health Over Wealth Act—to protect patients, providers, and communities.

a good summary of the reactions I’ve seen on bluesky is very little sympathy for Kirk himself but a broad recognition of how dangerous this political moment is and a lot of worry about what comes next and maybe that’s just me cultivating a good feed but it’s way calmer than I’ve seen elsewhere

here is the truth the mainstream media doesn't want you to see The whitewashing of Charlie Kirk’s toxic legacy is underway www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics. I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total fucking ghoul

I bet if Charlie Kirk had run a website called the Pundit Watchlist the reaction might be a bit different right now

look everybody mostly thinks violence is more wrong when it happens to people they like and less wrong when it happens to people they dislike, but that’s the entire basis of a society, we agree to pretend to care when people we don’t like die and if everyone follows the contract then we all live

Here's the clip for proof

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Exactly, he's just not who you'd go for if you had any coherent critique of this regime and wanted to strike in a meaningful way. He wasn't a leader, he was an extremely replaceable vector for big money-astroturfed attacks on higher ed

He said horrible stuff, he got astroturfed student groups to invite him to say horrible shit at their campuses, he used organic student opposition to his bullshit to portray campuses as intolerant. It's not a hard grift. You just have to enjoy being loathsome

I am certainly not celebrating another violent gun death but I don’t have to wail and gnash teeth either. He said victims of gun violence are the sad price of gun rights and I’m watching some people mourn him like a hero and victim while they forget people like my niece, dead in a school shooting.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

An important fact to remember

"Charlie Kirk spread infinite amounts of disinformation about LGBTQ people. Lies & vitriol about transgender people were a frequent part of his rhetoric & events. We need leaders & all those w platforms to prioritize safety over disinformation, irresponsible politics, & profit.” -GLAAD spokesperson

What an expertly called shot

Stop calling it "political violence" in ways that suggest this is something new. Politics are almost always violent. OUR politics have always been violent. The words you are searching for are "political assassination" or "deadly terrorism." Which are also not new, but are certainly less common.

This comment is just…… 🤭

Hey I know a great way we can ALL honor the life of #CharlieKirk and his influence! By signing this petition through the Sandy Hook Promise, operated by the parents of the Sandy Hook victims, to support gun violence legislation nationwide! takeaction.sandyhookpromise.org/a/preventsch...

His comms team is unparalleled

YAAAAY!

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."-Charlie Kirk in 2023, after 6 ppl (inc. 3 children) were shot & killed in a Nashville school

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses. People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.
