It’s a fair critique. We’re experiencing a predictable self-preservation response from a group as it loses its long dominant majority status. Those of my… demographic who aren’t afraid to be a minority need to link arms w/i the minority-majority, advance united, & step forward to shield, not lead.

Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: “Public opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.

Its Marxism to have workplace safety

Druski is the obvious liberal Joe Rogan equivalent and there's a reason nobody has pointed that out yet

This tells me this administration is in for it.

This doesn’t seem like a war that will end in two weeks. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

The USS Gerald R. Ford has departed Croatia and returned to full operational duty following a hiatus for repairs and crew rest, weeks after a shipboard fire injured three sailors. From Stars and Stripes' Alison Bath:

Efforts by Greg Johnson to unify factions through Counter-Currents highlight a growing risk: the consolidation of neo-Nazi rhetoric into a more coherent, networked ideology that is harder to track, challenge, and contain, especially as it gains traction beyond openly extremist spaces. Read more:

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

yes Mr President Sir please fire anyone who isn't loud and dogshit boisterous at their job enough, the quiet hatchetmen disassembling liberal democracy are betraying you, replace them with the corpse of Joe Arpaio, it will be more popular and much more effective at implementing your agenda

I’m not sure Todd Blanche can run the DoJ when most of his time is spent making sure Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t release more of her Epstein files to the WSJ.

March 9: “The war is very complete.” April 3: “We are at war.” 🤡

This is what they took from us

Glad Congress had the chance to thoroughly debate and vote on this, as the Constitution requires.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

Further incentivizing politicization of our military. This should be penalized, not rewarded.

Anti-Catholic bigot Pete Hegseth Holds Protestant-Only Religious Service at Pentagon. Hegseth banned a Catholic service for the first time. I keep telling people: The white GOP evangelicals have long hated Catholics www.mediaite.com/media/news/h...

Garcia: Blanche just said that the Epstein investigation is basically in the past, that he’s not going to address it moving forward, and that all the documents were released. I mean, that’s just a bold-faced lie.

My observation is that this is usually how the GOP tries to tell Trump he's making a mistake and needs to back off an approach. They usually get louder in opposition until he backs off. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

In some cases I'm convinced crypto-fascist demoralization agents are involved. People who respond to hope with insults and anger are either right-wing trolls or dysfunctionally depressed.

People really memory holed-covid, due to a huge far right propaganda effort. That's why all you hear about is lockdowns, and not: - hospitals out of capacity - Skype calls with family members in quarantine as they died - bodies stored in freezer trailors - mass graves in NYC

Russia made no territorial gains in March, the first time its progress has stalled entirely in 2+ years. The reasons: Ukraine's counteroffensives, loss of access to Starlink’s satellite internet data, and Russia’s own ban on Telegram in favor of its own app. But Russia has an ace in its hand: Trump

Fucking monsters

You don’t understand: we are 100% blaming the people who run the site, not mean leftists. We are blaming them for not banning the mean leftists.

These guys can tell their goose is increasingly cooked though. They lose their minds whenever someone says “There should be more moderation,” because they know as well as everyone else who is going to be moderated out.

Everyone angry at this article doesn't realize the reporter is making fun of the situation.

"Treason (n): journalism about failures or shortcomings in the war."

There is exactly one human being in the last hundred years of American politics who has successfully activated the habitual non-voter: Donald Trump

As many casualties as the US had in WWII. An offensive that's moving slower than WWI. An economy that's now in stagflation. And a wild collapse in geopolitical influence. Call Russia's invasion of Ukraine what it is: the greatest strategic failure we've seen in decades. Me in @kyivindependent.com:

The Kremlin-backed Trump regime in the United States has lifted sanctions on Mikhail Zadornov – an operative of the russian terrorist state who engages in money laundering and who poses a grave risk to international peace and security.

Oh wow, a bunch of people came over from Twitter after the election and didn't instantly have 25k bot-followers and then have decided to go back to Twitter over time because their rage-baiting is largely negated by Moderation lists that label them as shitposters. 🤔

With the news that a second plane, an A10 was shot down (pilot safe) makes me wonder if those recent shipments from Russia to Iran had some new weapons

This clip is Trump doing the “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” speech; it is only nine years old than yet he is remarkably more put together than anything he said recently youtu.be/Dz2wn3iPDNg?...

there are more GOP retirements this year than there have been in almost a century and for some reason, people on this website still think the republicans think they're invulnerable

lmao, i love this for all of them. try to jam a party-line reconciliation budget that slashes medicare, medicaid and all other kinds of services while ramping up giant military funding for a deeply unpopular war in an election year where both your party and president are deep underwater

We’ve been warning people about Track AIPAC. The whole thing falls apart under scrutiny. Cherry-picked donations, shifting standards, and labels that change depending on the narrative they want to tell, not supported facts. Link to article in 🧵

The GOP is going to start asking more questions about the cascading failures of our GOP led government. GOP Reps are already asking questions about the firings of Generals. thehill.com/policy/techn...

An Iranian family is having a picnic in nature while the US rescue mission is underway, and helicopters fly overhead.

🔥 Russia once acted like a "great power"; but today it buys survival. Between unstable North Korean shells and Chinese firms pricing the cage; the humiliation is complete. 👉 Putin wanted dominance; but he only proved how weak he really is. youtu.be/OyMxbOajbE0

He couldn’t see. He didn’t speak English. He was left alone in winter darkness. His death is now officially a homicide. If this doesn’t shake you, what will.

Super cool, given we secured a similar contract when I was at the VA 10 years ago and Trump killed it. So now they have to start all over again. Super efficient.

See, this is MEANT to be tongue in cheek, with the treating it seriously being ironic. But the New York Times can’t pull it off because of what they’ve become. The mock-seriousness is too close to how they routinely are. /1 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

This is terrible for Americans and also hurts national security. Increasing the military budget won’t defeat Iran. What is actually called for — under a sane government — would be a systematic defense review with an eye to less expensive systems that are suited to modern war. (1/4)

Seems bad that right-wing Jewish groups like JDL 613 Brotherhood are adopting the aesthetics and organizational strategy of neo-Nazi groups like Patriot Front and Active Clubs

Thomas Meagher had a Catholic chaplain give last rites to the Irish Brigade before they moved into the attack against entrenched slavers at the Bloody Lane on September 17, 1862. 40% of those brave, new Americans were killed or wounded within the hour. Men like Pete Hegseth can never forgive them.

If we are involuntarily teleporting members of the Trump administration, I have suggestions . . .

I mean FFS when Britain started talking about sending a carrier, Trump said “we don’t need it”

We kept saying "America First means America Alone" and they just chuckled and thought we were overly sensitive souls.
