The Plot to Enslave America, visualized

Our jihad against antisocial assholes has begun

Well, I mean, you can’t expect the IDF to fight clothed or armed people; that’s dangerous.

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Was there ever a hand-wringing WaPo piece on “tree, rope, journalist, some assembly required” or any of the other psycho right-wing memes over the years? I doubt it. It’s only a problem when it’s pointed right.

my "we do not worship the golden calf" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

maybe the funniest possible sentence to include here

It's that simple. It's not even a 'thumb on the scale' or 'Republicans win close questions' issue. SCOTUS doesn't bother maintaining the pretext of consistently apply judicial methodology, they're just constantly maximizing GOP political power, no matter what that requires.

Usually the onion is funny but this is a miss. This has happened to my cousin Tebney & we have no recourse

they should literally campaign on this.

Caveat! If it becomes a monument or museum, a) most visitors will never really see it because it’s on White House grounds, and b) absent GOP annihilation in the next two elections, Republicans will turn it right back into a Trump memorial ballroom at first opportunity. Raze. Replace with whatever.

How it’s going How it’s going to go

You’ll be hard pressed to find a democratizing movement in the US that *didn’t* play constitutional hardball & *didn’t* break unjust laws. That’s literally what democratization is, though it makes some people uncomfortable. If you want a democracy, you have to break the undemocratic system.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

I’m in this post and I don’t like it

The publishing industry views Bluesky as some tiny unimportant island out somewhere in a far-off ocean. It's not worthy of their attention like Amazon Algoland or The Republic Of Instagram Influencer Collaborativepost is. What they don't realise is just how much the island's inhabitants love books.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

In a pub toilet in Belfast and a guy just dried his hands by shadow boxing.

Agreed. It's not possible to reconcile "rule of law" with "one week the GOP SCOTUS will nullify a 43-year-old statute so they can allow racial gerrymandering, then the next week the GOP VA SC will block voter-approved redistricting and have themselves a laugh by citing the SCOTUS liberals' dissent."

This was already confirmed over a year ago by a preliminary investigation, but now one of the soldiers responsible admits it himself.

Israeli television news investigation confirms what we already knew, which is that the 3 hostages who were shot and executed by Israeli soldiers were killed because the overarching rules of engagement in Gaza were such that "a man, no matter the age, you kill him straight away".

TIL that @lichess.org allows you to browse tactics puzzles by opening. suspect this is going to aid my study significantly.

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

Not yelling at Dave here, but the fundamental issue is that the bedrock assumption of our country's politics is that conservatives losing faith in the system is seen as an indictment of the system, and liberals losing faith in the system is seen as an indictment of liberals.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

if you’re not being heard in a conversation you have the right to leave it

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

BREAKING from The Atlantic: Kash Patel has given out bottles of a personalized whiskey to FBI staff as well as civilians he encounters in his duties, according to eight people, including current and former FBI and Department of Justice employees and others who are familiar.

Did DoJ tip Fox, its favored network, to be on the scene? Probably. How should you consume that? Not in any way that excuses the media as a whole from benefitting from such tips on the regular, left and right, year in and year out. /1

/10 My point is not to excuse DoJ or Fox here. It’s to urge you not to view this as a Trump Corruption problem, but as a pervasive media culture problem that lets government attack citizens with impunity through leaks.

/6….but the media attitude is that law enforcement’s willingness to break the law to hurt a defendant is not news, the visual depiction of “justice” being done is news. That is a servile attitude for dogs.

Michael McDowell is a stain on the Irish nation. A gutter racist and deserving of your contempt.

A week after a report that said Ireland' isn't interested in blaming foreigners for everything, I see the Irish Times is giving the guy who took away birthright citizenship for children born in Ireland a platform for the oul racism again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

correct. the reason you have to do that with mafia cases is crime bosses tend to carefully insulate themselves from direct participation in the crimes. that is not what happened on January 6

y'all 👀

Mysteriously transfer him to the night shift in whatever the futher precinct from his house is, make sure he can't earn anything extra to pump his pension earnings up, you know all the shit the cops do to whistleblower cops but to him instead.

Wonder if he's the night editor responsible for so many horrible right-friendly headlines and sub-heds that often get somewhat fixed during the day.

Yeah, but they’re mostly black children. Elon Musk and the sort of people who support Elon Musk are, at best, indifferent to that.

To whoever is hacking Scratch, a web-based visual coding program for kids, to insert a virus that deletes the projects your kids are working on, you are a supreme asshole. muffin.ink/blog/scratch...

This is like turning to the Klan for stats on race. The Southern Poverty Law Center designates SEGM as an anti-LGBTQ hate group and "a hub of pseudoscience".

I'm a Smith alum, and when I read the content of this probe, all I could think of was this meme. like I don't expect this admin to come up with a nuanced argument, but wow is it so far off from actual experiences of gender at women's colleges

Really sums up a favorite right wing grievance: what's offensive here aren't my actions, but your accurate descriptions of them
