Someone is vandalizing political signs in Cincinnati and telling people to vote “tortal” with a picture of a turtle

What is wrong with these people. Read a book.

Democratic leadership is looking a lot like GOP leadership in 2010-2016 rn where there is just this massive chasm between their priorities and that of their party’s base.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

No clue what Mike Johnson’s endgame with the shutdown or refusing to seat that congresswoman are

Could not be clearer that we’re in a moment of almost universal elite rebellion against any kind of restriction or limit. You saw this shift in all the rhetoric too; Trump I was all about the little guy but everyone dropped that and started talking about grindset and being “aristocratic.”

I think there’s some conceptual slippage happening with “wine moms” on here. Feminist older women have been a fixture of the American left/left-liberal world as long as I can remember. Those are not the “wine moms.”

I really don’t feel like I know what people on this website are talking about anymore. Where is the “far left” that’s so against No Kings? Are they in the room with us right now?

If the signs today are any indication of where the electorate is at, mainstream sentiments include: -Abolish ICE -ICE is fascist -ICE would have arrested Jesus -ICE should get Nuremberged -Trump is a pedophile -Free Palestine

Things are going to get worse and they still have the capacity to cause enormous damage, but I believe they are going to lose and that on some level they know it.

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.

This is early on too, it ended up way bigger than this

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

Is it good when your side starts posting ai slop of you in a tin crown like a whig caricature of Andrew Jackson in 1832

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Walking to the protest and some zoomer just said “hey liberals get a real job” Bitch it’s Saturday

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today. ME: That's right. CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3. ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair. CHOTINER: Oh? ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count. CHOTINER: I see.

Cringe will save the world

The regime is all stick, no carrot. Their evil might be outmatched by their stupidity

We talk a lot about Fascist Nostalgia, but this sort of Liberal Nostalgia — the type that launders the previous generation of right wing leaders and perpetuates the Respectable Republican myth — is equally pernicious. Stop venerating Reagan and fixating on hypocrisy; the refs can't save you.

The propaganda video showing "Chaos" in Chicago is actually violent video from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska..Red States..That voted for Trump..Where the violence actually is. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/16/t...

My mom is sending me Dan Crenshaw IG posts about how the shutdown is the Dem’s fault

The 2025 Brewers tied for the worst LCS performance of all time, lmao get owned

You do not have to engage. They are here in bad faith. No one needs to hear about Wayne Chrebet or Chad Pennington. Block New York Jets fans and move on.

"i dont want to eat a kebab, i want fish and chips" well sorry little buddy but we're at the kebab shop and you're twelve

We will win

Interesting

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Building on this: feelings are meant to be shaped through education and moral formation. A society that privileges sheer “feeling” above reason and moral judgement has lost its way.

Lmfao

Always funny to me that St Oscar Romero was in Opus Dei

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Time to transition from sedentary staple crop production to nomadic pastoralism, American farmers!

Everytime I get down about our financial situation I think about the Dave Ramsey Show clips I’ve seen of people who are 29 and have $1m in debt

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

My opinion is why is he dressed like a Minion

Feels like there is some shitty cyberpunk techno/corporate feudal hellscape future building

Overturning the VRA is just another sign the slave-ocracy is still alive

"Pope Leo, a man who has spent the bulk of his career in Peru, will surely reject Latin American ideas about Catholicism" is the funniest Anglo cope

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines. We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Man they got Hochul talking like this? lmao

The Pillar published an interview with the priest from the eucharistic procession to the ICE facility and he called Barron, Dolan, and Paprocki all white nationalists lmfao

All republican speakers post 2016 have followed the Trump line but none of them have lacked the institutional self-preservation quite like Mike Johnson. He just does not care about the House at all

You might think Ryan is exaggerating but I used to go to a regular dinner that gradually got taken over by young Republican staffers and I promise you he is not.

only surprising thing about the racist young republican groupchat is that jd vance wasn't in there dropping crylaugh emoji reacts
