When will we learn that toppling other governments almost always makes things worse? Indeed, had we not overthrown the Iranian government in 1953 and installed a vicious dictator, we never would have ended up with the Mullahs we now insist we must topple. Pay attention.

Wow, look at this description of the mayhem in L.A. Man, sure am glad Trump sent in troops! (Oh wait, this isn't re: L.A...it's a description of the white boy riot to protest crackdowns on underage drinking at Washington State University in 1998. Never mind).

"Well, we are all going to die." Damn, y'all, I've heard some cruel and bizarre statements from politicians in my lifetime, but Sen. Joni Ernst saying this directly to her constituents during a town hall regarding concerns over cuts to Medicaid is an all-timer. Jesus.

So we've reached the Holocaust denial phase of Elon's racism. Seriously, time for this guy to be financially and reputationally destroyed beyond repair. He is officially the worst person on the planet www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

We need a one million percent tariff on Afrikaners. No need to import white racists. We've managed to make tens of millions here

This is a good start, but River Road is long. May the spirits of the enslaved rise and burn all the concentration camps that, like Nottaway, downplay their evil. No more wedding receptions. Either confront the sickness of white supremacy or let it all burn. Here's hoping that karma is contagious

The message from the fire at the Nottoway Slave Labor and Sex Trafficking Camp is simple enough: If some of y'all keep trying to erase Black history, the ancestors just might burn yours to the ground. Keep pushing.

Oh look, a white lady who sounds like what cornbread would sound like if it could talk, calls a grown (and older) Black man, "boy." Because of course she did 'There's a gun in there': Republican lawmaker insists cane carried by Democrat 'is a prop' www.rawstory.com/al-green-cane/

Four of my books were banned at the Naval Academy but Mein Kampf and the Bell Curve are still there. So just to review: racism is ok. Antiracism is not. This is the entire history of America.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, but even worse… Those who would erase the past are intending to repeat it. Hands off our history. Hands off our libraries. Hands off the NMAAHC.

The more Trump's economic policies hurt his voters, the more sadistic he'll become toward folk of color, LGBTQ folk, and anyone he views as insufficiently on his side, bc if he hurts those folks more, the psychological wage of whiteness/straightness will keep his cult together.

Kristi Noem can't protect her purse in a restaurant, but she's supposed to protect the Homeland from terrorism? Mmm-k, sure.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for white male mediocrity. Inferior to his predecessor in every way, but still convinced that Austin was the unqualified one

Here’s all you need to know about Trump and his movement: they consider accurate historical displays about enslavement and racism in America to be “divisive ideology” but the statues of traitors who made war on America to be patriotic. These people are sick. All of them

At this point I’m expecting Trump to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried under the cover of fighting antisemitism.

History often turns on the smallest things. Like, Lincoln’s decision to go the theatre that night, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, or the fact that Elon Musk didn’t get his ketamine from Matthew Perry’s dealer.

If someone comes to your door to detain you for exercising your free speech, you should stand your ground. And I mean that exactly as literally as you think I do. Let that happen a few times and see how quickly they rethink their tactics

THREAD: DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" is one month old this week. But the largest item on that list has always been wrong. Here's how:

This is insane and is the kind of thing that Dems, if they had guts and weren’t afraid of AIPAC would all be condemning.

I hear she does a helluva Eva Braun impersonation too. But the funny thing is she isn’t really impersonating. Just mimicking.

My President.

Don't worry, none of the MAGAs who screeched about Democrats not standing up during the State of the Union when the biggest enemy cancer research in America has ever had used a pediatric brain cancer patient as a prop are going to take this deportation of a _U.S. citizen_ sitting down {*crickets*}

Absolutely. And Jonathan Greenblatt is indistinguishable from Meir Kahane at this point.

I know it's illegal & immoral to wish harm against the president of our country. I would never do either. As for the head of Russia? I hope Ukraine destroys Russia's Army, captures Putin, and drags him down the street behind a truck, bouncing his head off every rock. Or, ya know poison before that

It's funny watching Elon Stans ride his dick over on X, ignoring how at least a few women have made it pretty clear it's not worth it.

Oh myyy

This is how you deal with racists. Guns to a gun fight

53 year old man child plays videos games while questioning other people's work ethics...priceless. Side note, if you're still an "intense gamer" in your 50s you're a loser. Elon Musk Installed A Gaming PC At His DOGE Office kotaku.com/elon-musk-ga... via @kotaku

This heartbreaking documentary, which was nominated for an Oscar last night shows the inherent dishonesty of police culture. Just a gang protecting other gang members in far too many cases. These cops should have all been imprisoned. All of them. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Does Putin control all the poison in Russia, or nah?

James Carville should take his tired Skeletor ass and ride off into the sunset. No one should care about, or listen, to a word he says. And that has been true for most of his career.

Excellent. I hope he does. And I hope it hurts. Canadian official vows to hit back at Trump 'twice as hard' — 'with a smile on my face' www.rawstory.com/canada-tarif...

There can be no compromise with MAGA. It is them or...U.S.

So when the right says “free speech” they just mean “rape and sex trafficking”?

Sorta sad that the only way Donald Trump knew how to show his love for Barron was to free Andrew Tate.

The idea that there is this huge number of people receiving SNAP or other "welfare" benefits who are able-bodied adults just lazing around on the couch is the biggest lie in politics. Absolute nonsense backed up by no evidence at all. Just classist/racist stereotypes...

Trump’s out here behaving like a man who knows the piss tapes are very very real

Making America Great Again, clearly. But remember, Elon told us there would be pain but it would be "worth it," because to oligarchs, recessions are a great chance to use their $$$ to buy up more shit cheaply. It's always worth it to the rich. They never suffer. But they should. A lot.

Jeff Bezos is so pathetic he'll tank the WaPo just to please Trump so as to protect his other business interests. The Post was always a vanity project for him anyway. He only cares about Amazon and his penis rocketship. This is why the media shouldn't be owned by billionaires

One thing has gone largely undiscussed re: Trump's Executive Branch power grab. Namely, no one would seek to place so much power in the hands of the president -- over legal interpretation, budget decisions, staffing, etc -- if they worried about EVER losing again. So they must know something...A 🧵..

In response to the Trump administration signing multiple executive orders attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’ve created the #ExecutiveDisorder project. This project provides the tools to understand and resist the white nationalist agenda of the alt-right. ➡️

At the rate this is going Elon will be married to Melania soon

A Haiku for incel DOGE boys They call me “big balls” He said, thinking that would work Right, she said (swipe left)

What good are these lawmakers who behave as if tech bros, their tech boy toys, and rent a cops have more authority than they do?

The attack on USAID is fueled by indifference to the suffering of millions around the globe who will be harmed--and that indifference is fed by the fact that a disproportionate share of these are not white. Even this Trump/Musk move is fueled by racism. Everything they do is.

Sorry but not listening to people who say we can't judge voters who voted for Trump or stayed home bc of Gaza. They judged us and accused us of complicity in genocide for voting for Harris, so yeah, we get to judge them too for what they helped empower. That's how things work. Welcome to reality.

Pathetic Elon Stans are like: "But he's Tony Stark! He's a super hero from the comic books!" Well, he's in comic books alright. But news flash: he's Lex Luthor.
