Anyway, there are sincere pundits who get paid lots of money to argue that these folks *aren’t* primarily motivated by racism.

LOVE YOUR GODDAMN NEIGHBOR, HOW MUCH MORE CLEAR CAN IT GET YOU ABSOLUTE HERETICS

For example, one of Chicago's most obnoxious neo-Nazis from the 1950s into the 1980s was Joseph Dilys, a Lithuanian immigrant who hated Communism. He sold fascist literature from a stand he set up in the loop on a regular basis. bsky.app/profile/seth...

The comments on the FB post in the original skeet are filled with people spouting racist nonsense. This is part of a very long history of "white ethnic" Americans, esp 1st and 2nd generation, embracing their "whiteness" so as to integrate into "Americanness."

This is what unity looks like.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way Naples, Florida, used to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

LONDON MAYOR SADIQ KHAN: “I appear to be living rent-free in Trump’s head… when people behave a certain way you’ve got to believe them. Trump has shown he is racist, sexist, Islamophobic.”

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else." Roosevelt May 7, 1918

President Trump's deployment of the DC National Guard to patrol national monuments, pick up trash and shovel mulch in its home city is projected to cost taxpayers $201 million. That's more than $1.8 million per day.

are people familiar with Brett Kavanaugh saying a bribe isn't a bribe if you time it right or no? (Bribes come *before, to get you to do something, and bribes are Bad. But *after you do something, you can ask for a gratuity, and gratuities are Okay! Apparently.) ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

No, there isn’t a whole world out there capable of tending to the world’s problems. There’s a 🇨🇳 more authoritarian than even 🇺🇸 of Trump’s fantasies, a 🇪🇺 not remotely able/willing to become a viable hegemon, & no one else, etc. The alternative is a dangerous vacuum, not better hegemonic alternatives.

Also, since their firing was wildly illegal & unconstitutional, they should never have been fired in the first place & the people who did it should go to jail for the rest of their lives.

😕🇺🇸

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

you neurotypical people wouldn’t last a single day being treated the way you pieces of shit treat neurodivergent folks. when are we gonna talk about the neurotypical problem

You should do an article on how the tech industry in the Silicon Valley has ruined the entire Bay Area for the everyday people who live there.

Someone needs to tally up all the ways this administration kills people.

*anime girl running out the door with toast in her mouth* "Oh nooooo! I'm late for the rapture!"

it's amazing how many GWBush-era war criminals who laid the groundwork for Trump's brazen lawlessness are now like "hey, he is going too far". WE FUCKING TOLD YOU!

Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody's fly!

Has it happened yet? I'm still here! 😆

Can someone please explain to the guy speaking at the United Nations that he did not end 7 wars and everyone knows he is a liar. Oh, he does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. And please, ask him about the EPSTEIN files.

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

What time is this Rapture shit starting? Finally got my outfit together, let's do this!

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

I could be way off base, but I believe that Barron is on the spectrum and Trump cannot concede that his genes, as superior as they are, could produce such an outcome absent some outside force, like the vaccine. So Bobby is following his own misguided beliefs with the encouragement of Trump.

Patterns are not coincidental

The U.S. president* is unpopular, weak and is losing support within his own party. Similar to a mob-boss he garners support by using extortion and intimidation. Don't let him take away your 1st Amendment rights and keep demanding the release of the #EpsteinTrumpFiles

Both science and mental health literacy are tools of empowerment. You can’t be empowered about your health decisions if you rely on misinformation, pseudoscientific propaganda, and conspiracies.

Dutch late night TV has its take

From Jon Stewart to Stephen Colbert, late-night hosts sounded off on the sudden suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after ABC executives caved under pressure from the Trump administration.
