I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

Right wing parties across the world seem to really be leaning into comic book supervillainism www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-mk...

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It is very hard to dismiss the fact that senate democrats caving was an intentional gift to Donald Trump. He went to the Supreme Court trying to starve 42 million Americans and we all saw it. And as people fought that, they caved. They are not merely collaborators but wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

my ideal response to AI and crypto is a lot closer to an air strike than a bailout

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I honestly don't think centrists believe anything at all. Just as I don't want to see a "mainstream" presidential candidate who hounds homeless people and abandons trans people, I don't want a "progressive" Senator with a Nazi tattoo. The uprights aren't narrow here. This shouldn't be hard.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

this shit didnt come up once during the campaign, it makes me so fucking mad

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs. In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Look, the next Democratic president needs to put everybody involved, from Trump all the way down, on trial for murder. They blew up 11 civilians in broad daylight without statutory authorization.

The Democratic Party leadership does not believe in the legitimacy of their own party’s primary for the largest city in the USA because they’re Islamophobic and anti-Arab racists who believe Mamdani is an illegitimate upstart who was not supposed to win. They are anti-democratic, in short.

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

the only sentence I keep coming back to when thinking about the current state of the Democratic Party elite

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

Elon tweaking Grok to immerse in right wing sources and it immediately going full Nazi is about as illustrative of what that media ecosphere is doing to your parents and your kids as it's ever gonna get. Someone should probably do something.

I think it’s bad that every major institution in this country - every last one - is actively working to abet our descent into a racist, fascist, transphobic dictatorship the entirety of elite american society is morally bankrupt and it’s destroying us all

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

One of the most important reasons I'm critical of the Democrats is that I am convinced, by both their words and actions, that they are not interested in let alone up for fighting the Republicans with the energy and enthusiasm such a task requires.

Stages of life: 1. Birth 2. You gotta be fucking kidding me 3. Death

Watching a bunch of social media drones ask AI whether a strike on another country devoid of reason or legality was the right thing to do is kind of the whole ballgame. Just a collapsing empire on disastrous cruise-control, going a thousand miles an hour toward a cliff and burning up the atmosphere

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

Warms the heart to see “AI made this person nuts” and “this other person is in deranged romantic love with AI” news stories running alongside “AI is here to stay” tech columns. Looking forward to no one knowing how to do anything by the time I’m whatever descriptor has replaced “retirement age”

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

I feel like this picture and sign is very much what we’re all feeling

"Protect our borders" against who, exactly? Some guy and his family? Travelers? People escaping oppression? A nice lady? We have homegrown terrorists, murderers, and rapists within our borders already. What is the fear? You're racist. You're just a racist. This is not a real problem

more proof that the trans rights movement is morally just

I know I sound ridiculous and extreme saying this, but this reconciliation bill deserves mass civil disobedience from every level of elected official in the country

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

the only way kidnapping and illegally detaining lawful permanent residents (or citizens!) in foreign concentration camps "plays out" is we all live our lives under fascism or the fascists are jailed and many of them executed. that's it. read a fuckin book.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.
