Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House. You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

If you take $230 million out of the treasury to pay yourself for being president, I believe you should be executed for high crimes.

Tearing down part of our White House after posting a video of literally shitting on Americans, apropos

I was feeling blue, can you tell...? ⋆｡𖦹°⭒˚｡⋆ #alt #alternative #egirl #cosplay #oc #elf #fae #fairy #siren #altspace #halloween #onlyfans

Every dodged question, every ‘I’m not familiar with that,’ proves Mike Johnson’s strategy: pretend ignorance while Americans lose healthcare and rights.

"I don't know anything about that so I'm afraid I can't comment." --Speaker Mike Johnson, repeatedly

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

ACECO doesn't list the White House on their projects page but it's their logo on the excavator. Surely they would welcome some local feedback on their choices. 3/ acecoworld.com/projects/

Businesses choose what jobs they take. ACECO chose to take this one. They can choose not to. 2/ archive.is/y7ng8

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

The whole internet loves buff white populist, who combines left wing ideas with masculine aesthetics prized among reactionaries! *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you the populist has a totenkopf tattoo

I have spent more of 2025 in a state of semi-permanent exhaustion than any other year of my adult life, including the ones where I suffered a traumatic head injury and when I had to live on benefits. That is pretty much directly the fault of the Labour Party and yes I take it personally.

Yep, and I can't WAIT to see how the lefter-than-thous move the goalposts yet again and declare all these positions too normie.

Just like his idol Rush Limbaugh, Charlie Kirk was a fart. Loud, thoroughly unpleasant, full of hot air, but when it passes, no one talks about it, and some will only remember how embarrassingly bad it was.

The single biggest achievement of social media leftists is definitively answering that eternal question, "What would it look like if Veruca Salt was a communist?" "I WANT TO SMASH CAPITALISM *NOW* DADDY!"

...Huh. So they're finally returning to the ORIGINAL original concept for the Soarin' ride, as devised for the unbuilt Disney's America park.

being old and being wealthy does not make you a king are you having a stroke

Larger action is even harder if everyone is hunkered down. Harder action almost impossible. Instead people got involved and having taken that step of action, even if it's a small one. What did the No Kings protest solve? It destroyed the lie that there isn't unity against Trump.

Been seeing people ask what the No Kings protest fundamentally accomplished. I dunno, 2 million more people showed up to this one than the last protest. That's 2m more people convinced they need to be active.That's 7m people motivated to leave their house instead of doomscroll. Seems significant.

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

It’s barely even a Ponzi scheme. There’s no guarantee that Amazon is actually making profit on this! $105bn in capex! Perhaps they’re building capacity to provide it to OpenAI in yet another money losing revenue stuffer that will end with nobody getting anything but an IOU

Christopher Lee with his cat, Renfield.

And like...that is illegal! We know they would too because they met with him at the White House with him advertising his intent for pictures they are photographed in!

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

In the aftermath of the largest demonstration in US history against one motherfucker in particular, a significant number of Democratic senators replied "Nah, we want to work with the motherfucker."

Well, shit.

This is legitimately bonkers. WHAT IN THE HELL?????

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

I will repost this forever.

it is kind of interesting how not only do they openly yearn for monarchy, but they also want a system of monarchy more absolute than almost any of the historical reference points where the president can tax, spend, declare war, even suspend habeas corpus at will

been reading a lot of medieval English history recently and it's instructive as to why the Anglo political tradition evolved away from monarchy. every 4th king or so would turn out to be a murderous lunatic, people got sick of it

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Part of the reason this struck me is that I've had my head in the 1960s DOJ for a while. The DOJ press secretary back then was a Pulitzer Prize winner who'd been reporting for twenty years (except when he was winning medals in WWII). Today, it's the dumbest meanest airhead in middle school.

We sure do

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

seems like you could be minimally fit, join ICE for the signing bonus, and then just not do the job

Again, you clearly did not live through the Bush era. They are anti-George Bush on the following: -Abortion -Social security cuts -Environment and climate change -Afghanistan -Guantanamo -Regulatory cuts (see: 2008!) -Gun control -Tax cuts for the rich

I see we've moved on from "the Democrats are to the right of George W Bush" to "I am unhinged and think they might be, which is basically the same thing"

Correct, the US is a 2-party system and the Democratic Party is the one to the left of center, so yes, he defends left of center politicians. Please explain to me how all this is cosplay while posting about how the most fiscally liberal administration since LBJ "implemented austerity" isn't.

He's run for political office and routinely shows up to protests, I really do not think there's much of a leg to stand on calling him a "cosplayer" when you are an anonymous online account criticizing him for being insufficiently leftist despite his defense of nearly every left-of-center politician.

That's... not what he said? Mr. Stancil did not say "hey members of minorities in particular, LOOK HOW THREATEND I AM COMPARED TO YOU", he literally just said that he was in way less danger than some anonymous online Marxist cosplayer and then people started jumping on him.

Again, I believe that a man who gets multiple death threats a day is more at risk than some random anonymous communist poster:

We have now moved the goalposts from "all Mr. Stancil does is cry about trans communists, why would the right try to kill him?" to "okay he actually attacks the right a lot, but in a way that I don't like" which rather obviates the whole "there's no reason for the right to kill him" thing.

He spends most of his time attacking the right, actually. Particularly on the other site where they actually exist.

Melissa Hortman, her husband, and her dog were all murdered by a right-wing lunatic in Brooklyn Park. Please tell me all about how "nobody is going to do anything in a wealthy neighborhood of MN" again, please.
