“Oh we tried impeachment two times and it didn’t work!” Just two? The man probably committed two impeachable offenses in the time it took me to type this.

I want to see his supporters read this aloud and react to it. Bring back the old “we talked with five Trump supporters in a diner” reporting and make them read this out loud.

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Childhood is primetime for developing creativity. It's usually when a person takes their first, wobbly steps into getting their imaginations down on paper. Redirecting that into typing prompts feels genuinely defiling.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

No notes

Well I want to cry now

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

She deserves to never work in journalism ever again, but maybe she has a future in reality tv.

We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.

No one could’ve predicted that putting a lot of Opus Dei weirdos on the Supreme Court would end our democracy

I was radicalized on the issue of the Supreme Court 25 years ago this month. I’ve spent more than half of my life now waiting for the Democrats and liberalism to get there. They still aren’t. It’s sickening.

My mind cannot comprehend it being December. Each time I saw today’s date written down I kept thinking “oh this is from last year”

I would…not want to disappoint Frederick.

The constitutional right for Republicans to win elections no matter how hostile the electorate is against them

this is cold blooded, calculated murder and Bradley should be court martialed and jailed for it

My chest hurts thinking of that missing 6 yo boy. My little girl is 7. She hand my son are my whole world. I don’t have anything helpful or interesting to say, just. God help us.

You know how this became utterly predictable and inevitable? When absolutely none of the people responsible for the previous thousand family separations were punished in any way

Extremely low on the list of important things to address, but, “Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders?” Which gender is the real one? 🤔

I don’t know if a country can be good. Probably not. But a country can be better than this.

My contempt is bottomless for the media who will ignore this when we heard “sleepy Joe” for years

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

She’s ignored the assignment, and written a response to the question “What do you think the Bible has to say about gender” and she’s still got it completely wrong.

Maybe conservative Christians just don’t belong in academic spaces

The fucking nerve to turn in a paper literally calling your TA demonic. And then claim YOU’RE the one being persecuted?

"the ballroom isn't being paid for by taxpayers, it's being paid for by corporations and billionaires!!"

Old Whiskeyleaks? “We are currently clean on opsec” Hegseth? THAT GUY wouldn’t be foolish?

Oh hell, if I got video like this of a bear THIS SIZE in my garden, y’all would never hear the end of it

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

one of the pics is Billboard Chris (professional troll) saying "individuals who identify as trans should be automatically disqualified from holding any position as teacher or professor", with the undergrad's mom- an attorney defending J6 rioters- agreeing. this is about kicking us out of teaching.

I guarantee you—if such a thing were probable I’d put big money on it—Samantha Fulnecky did this shit on purpose, HOPING for a bad grade so she could claim she was being discriminated against. They want to claim persecution SO BAD, it is their whole deal.

[trans people fired from all federal jobs] [trans people fired from all military jobs] [trans people fired from jobs everywhere] [cis people fired for being accused of being trans] [cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist] [trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi] liberal:

South Africa remains the excuse white people use to claim “white people are discriminated against” with zero interrogation into why that might be

We are ruled by the absolute dumbest people imaginable

This despite it being aggressively shoehorned into every productivity application available - maybe investors are stupid???????

I understand Tarantino is still important to a lot of people but I cannot muster any energy to get excited about what he's up to in 2025 like this man lives in Israel and is out meeting the IDF to show his support can we divest

This is so accurate it’s depressing

I’ve always been a huge Tarantino fan but wtf is this. EVERYTHING he does is an homage to something else.

The only antidote - and I do mean the ONLY one - to Trump and Miller's xenophobia is a full-throated defense of immigration and a full-throated attack on the racism and xenophobia currently guiding immigration policy. You can't half-ass this one, you can't Very Reasonable Limits this one.

this is just gutter racism

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Incredible thread, read the whole thing. My takeaway from this is that the solution is stripping these elites of their wealth and power, completely and permanently.
