Man, I don’t know, it kind of feels like if you can’t get behind the idea that university leaders shouldn’t be coordinating with pedophiles about how to coerce their students into sexual relationships, *you* might be the problem

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Rep Mackenzie (R-Pennsylvania), asked about vaccine denialism of DHS Sec, notes that he believes vaccines are safe and effective, then pivots to claiming immigrants are bringing diseases into this country.

Poor @jaketapper.bsky.social having to listen with a straight face to a firehose of nonsense.

There’s always that one person in the group chat who communicates 50% in emoji. We made that person the National Security Adviser.

Trump at the DOJ today was an incredibly weak, demented monster. He has the title of president, but the stature of a convicted felon. He begged the audience to believe a fantasy rewrite of his criminal history. Then he begged them to commit crimes for him by prosecuting innocent people who he hates

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

So, actually, it always was Russia.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

This was me…😢

How completely jealous am I of Brazil right now

Another gift thread from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, who somehow manages to strengthen your heart even as she's breaking it. "It is better to be labeled a conspiracy theorist, forever orbiting, than inhabit that cold dead sun."

Yes!! This 👇

All of this is utterly unhinged, but especially the part where it seems that Palestinians will be moving to Levittown

Don’t look now, but a gang of South African immigrant thugs have taken over the White House.

Love this letter from David Velasco (the former Artforum editor fired for publishing an open letter against the carnage in Gaza) responding to that Harper’s piece lamenting the contamination of contemporary art by politics.

This!👇

promise me you won’t get mad ok, but we accidentally blew billions of your dollars on computer chips we didn’t need to make an inferior product that has been publicly embarrassed

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I came to DC for the grim, soggy start of Trump 47, as MAGA diehards who'd spent thousands got left out in the rain while a new American oligarchy partied on yachts and celebrated as Trump became a crypto billionaire and took the oath of kleptocracy My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Bold of you to think that putting two little candy bars in one package and labeling it ‘sharing size’ is going to result in anything other than me eating two little candy bars.

Frankly I’m hard pressed to see how anything China is doing with TikTok is any scarier or worse for humanity than what American oligarchs are currently doing w their social media.

Damn.

Donald Trump not standing up for MAGA in the H-1B visa drama is mighty telling. 🍿

A guillotine comes to mind…

the least surprising thing in the history of the world is that Matt Gaetz is a guy who'd hit up a sex worker for a discount

Waiting for Santa

A bunch of cry baby billionaires who never served in the military want to force millions of our troops to go without pay at Christmas. But do go on about the price of eggs won’t you.

Women are not getting raped by the bogeyman. It's not happening in some fucking time vacuum. It's not some evil stranger in the night. They are our neighbours, our friends, your friends, your colleagues. They are men around us. Stop looking for monsters, start looking at your friends.

My favorite that I got personally:

generally I'm anti-murder but honestly if I have to read one more essay preaching at me about how this healthcare executive's life was more sacred than any of the other thousands killed in America every month I may alter my position

Yes!👇this

We are about to be a part of the most vivid and vicious expression in modern times of the richest among us grabbing as much as they can for themselves, no matter how much pain they cause. Out of this must come a renewed and intensified opposition and commitment to the common good.

New Yorkers: the Met show of early Siena paintings is worth it purely for this excellent and rare image of a pissy teenage Jesus being reamed out by his angry 'rents.

Here’s how a socialist majority would fix American healthcare.
