"Fascists simply do not care about what is true. In a deep and fundamental way, it just doesn’t matter to them. You can see that even in how Musk set up his analogy. What he posted is not even the plot of The Lord of The Rings! It is the hobbits who ultimately save Gondor, not the other way around."

Told my wife that everyone is getting in to physical media again to soften her for when I say I’m getting into physical media again

“How ‘bout them Donald Trump approval ratings”

"It was supposed to be a celebratory milestone, the final step in the process to obtain U.S. permanent residency. Instead, as each interview with an immigration officer wrapped up, federal agents swooped in, handcuffed the foreign spouse and took him or her away."

Police say he then turned the epic vulgar roast on himself

My meemaw used to do this while she watched her stories

every single thing hegseth says in public reveals a bottomless pit of insecurity

Frankly, I don't care what his positions on policy are. We can disagree on a lot. But he gets the homework assignment. Everything else can be negotiated later, among honest citizens.

Grand opening, grand closing. X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Heartbreaking stuff. And more good journalism from @charlotteobserver.com which has been a part of an incredible effort from local media to cover this past week’s attack on our city.

Donald Trump five minutes after meeting Nick Mullen: I'm gay actor Michael Douglas

Zohran cucked Trump in less than an hour, adjust what you think political strength looks like if you don’t think it looks like him

I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

Sometimes I can laugh at the president or roll my eyes when he says something wild or ridiculous. This one just makes me so sad. So deeply sad. I imagine some of you feel the same. Please recognize that, care for it and yourself. It’s rough out there.

Thank you Tim

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

the TikTok zoomers have got into the Epstein emails

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about. DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom. Tonight, at Law Dork:

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said. “We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.” #borderpatrol #charlotte #nc

if i were a nepo baby who would be an anonymous chud if not for my daddy i might stay quiet about accommodations

Grifters and con artists are good at realizing when the winds are changing direction

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it. Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

Imagine being one of the dipshits that has spent the last year downplaying each step in the escalation ladder of fascism. 10 months in and we are at the brink of an expansionist war for nothing but asserting the fact we can rapacious annihilate brown people in our part of the hemisphere.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

What do you mean "with Trump around"

Just circling back here

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

new meme

Magnetsh

Our reporters interviewed 40 of the men the Trump administration sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador: They described being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards and driven to the brink of suicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Optimus will overturn the fundamentals of economics to an extent that we may not even need money in the future, Musk says, and yet he still recommends people "hold onto your Tesla stock," which seems like a kind of mixed message.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture-- which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

It's crazy that nothing remotely like Krusty the Clown existed in the '90s but it does exist now (Mr. Beast)

Thugs committing crimes against humanity. At some point the masks will be ripped off and these guys will answer for their actions.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

TRUTH NUKE

Behold, the expert predictive quality of election betting markets. They can tell you a thing will happen right when everyone else figures out it will!

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.
