Another cancellation

What MAGA sounds like when they ask what rights are being taken away in the comments:

Pro tip: Evangelicals supporting Israel because they think it will line up the second coming and then expecting Jews to convert to Christianity or face damnation is antisemitism too.

This lie just needs to fucking die! Bernie was not rigged out of the damn primary. He got wiped out by black dems in the south. Whom he never campaigned to. His class only schtick did not appeal to black people who are one of the largest voting blocks in the Dem party. And he ignored them.

The irony is that "racial considerations" can't be used to undo a system that was 100% built on racial considerations and they damn well know it.

Didn't have "Hagia Sofia firsters" on my GOP idiots bingo card

One of the reasons that people should have voted in the previous election is because it’s the most important one of my lifetime. The effect of who won that election is going to affect the rest of our lives. In that context, why was it legitimate to not help?

But we aren’t allowed to say it out loud because it might lose us the next election? We can’t say that there is moral culpability because we still need them to vote in the next election? OK but how do we know they will vote correctly?

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

We’re still being paid back for the squeaky tank, aren’t we?

MAGA reacting to budgeting/dietary health advice from Democrats: accusations of government overreach, total mocking. MAGA reacting to budgeting/dietary health advice from Republicans: dissertation-level household financial accounting tips extolling the benefits of living on beans and rice for a year

Just send Mamdani to get the Epstein files 🤷🏻

Encapsulates how I feel, except from a strategy standpoint we need to avoid any candidate other than a straight white dude for the next 20 years

Funniest: Drew Barrymore, The Pope Sorta funny: David Attenborough Meh: Truman Capote Everyone else: painful AF to watch #DragRace

Drag Race gripes: 1. Changing the format of snatch game 2. Contestants choosing hard-to-impersonate celebrities, characters, or historical figures 3. Contestants choosing internet influencers born after 2005 #DragRace

If you want a scholarly attempt to explain this I strongly suggest academic.oup.com/book/55770?l...

The rhetorical posturing of the trump administration summed up:

The only new follows us "lesser accounts" seem to be getting are Gaza scammer ones. Time to beef up the algorithms, Bluesky.

So what is MAGA going to do when trump eventually dies? Create an oracle and consult him daily to know what to believe on any given issue?

“The left sure is quiet about…” Yeah, we’re quiet because you’ve posted some obscure event that some rando right-wing influencer thinks is the gotcha of the year🙄

Rate-a-Queen has got to GO #DragRace

Mariah hits the high notes at the opening ceremony #olympics

It just never ends!

Why I’m not getting all excited about this round of documents

Finished my Melt the Ice hat, an easy pattern with a simple 6 inch 1x1 rib done on double points or circular needles. Decreases around stitch markers on every row to create the triangular shape at the top. I have a loose gauge and used size 6 needles with a cast on of 96 and worsted weight yarn.

MAGA be like: MAGA journalist requirements: any rando with podcast mic, 200 followers fine Liberal journalist requirements: degreed, works for large tv network/publication operating for 50+ years, rhetorical style/appearance approximating Walter Cronkite, press pass, mass audience recognition

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

🎯👇

Am I right to assume that the Bondi letter to Walz can be used against the admin in court to show that the ICE deployments aren't actually vital to national security or any such bullshit?

The protests in sub-zero weather are spreading to other cities. The beacon of Amon Dîn has been lit. Hope is kindled.

If Law Roach were in this Jack Smith hearing, the interruptions by Republicans would stop #DragRace

The landscape is different with trump not on the ballot

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

From Heather Cox Richardson. As more info is verified, a different picture emerges, which is why it’s important to not fly off the handle every time trump does something:

Prediction:

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

The whole "day care fraud" thing is the perfect right-wing grievance talking point because it simultaneously accomplishes three things: 1) discredits Tim Walz, 2) scapegoats the Somalians, and 3) stokes anxieties about women working outside of the home. It's Satanic Panic 2.0.

The key question to ask about MTG is if she has changed because a) trump wasn't effective in implementing the America First vision, or b) she disagrees with the American First vision itself. I have a feeling it's the former.

When I see 2025 year in review segments

Watching the Sunday talk shows about the redacted Epstein files is like watching a group of people at a gallery discussing the meaning of a painting that’s a black square

Behind every nostalgic dream of holidays past is at least one exhausted woman

SO TRUE 👇👇

Dumbest comment of the day:

It’s pretty stunning how the GOP could easily generate some good will and cover over the fact they have no plans for health care by simply voting for the ACA subsidy extensions. They are past the point of simple career self-preservation, and for what? A man who won’t even be around in 3 years.

Farmers get “affordability” while we get “fraud, waste, and abuse”
