Look how normal he is.

“minneapolis police chief brian o’hara will stand up to ICE.” no he won’t. that isn’t true.

I was bored last night so I watched an episode of OG Star Trek where they picked up Charlie, a traumatised teenager with godlike abilities who only wants people to love him, but is incapable of doing anything funny or nice, so he just destroys everything in fits of rage to hide his shame, hey Elon

in a shock, the winner of a made up award from one of the worlds foremost institutions of corruption is president donald j trump

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

Most Democrats are so afraid of "defund the police" they ran away from anything resembling it, and now we have a crumbling system that overpunishes and protects no one.

i'm thinking about doing a live reading of Nuzzi's entire book and selling tickets to raise funds for a charity that teaches kids not to read

Beyond any left/centrist infighting the singular cancer that must be hacked away from the Democratic Party is the "stop demanding unicorns!" tantrum. Shut the fuck up. Democrats need to do shit. If they can't do shit, they need to TRY doing shit to make it harder for Republicans to do shit later.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

I've just gained a lot of respect for Halle Berry

*brandishing a knife* bring us some figgy pudding

Which will resonate with voters?

Minnesota: wherever there’s a vote to confirm Trump’s shitty nominees, rest assured you’ll find @amyklobuchar.com there with a big YES SIR MR. PRESIDENT

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

The entirety of the left/liberal friction in Democratic Party politics is summarized by how one looks at basically anything Hakeem Jeffries says and if your reaction is "Jesus fucking Christ we could do so much better than this" or "I like the way he's not Donald Trump" That's it. That's all of it.

Incredible, Hakeem-Jeffries tier weak sauce from Walz.

Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes. Trump just pardoned them. Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.” Ridiculous.😐

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

Elon musk is a Nazi exhibit #184719

People are very mad that those disgusting, uncouth Chapo boys called it dead-on years ago that libs don't actually mind half of the things Trump is doing, especially with immigration and torturing trans people, they just don't like that a guy they find personally upsetting to them is doing it

Walking, talking colostomy bag Tom Emmer, or as we call him here in MN, "Unfunny Trump."

Exactly this. MSNBC was calling young people low information and naive meanwhile college campuses had snipers pointed at them for protesting along with international students being kidnapped by ICE.

Omar Derangement Syndrome is pervasive among our Democratic electeds.

It would be incredibly easy for AOC, Mamdani, Warren, all of these people to do literally just THIS. And yet, here we are.

I worked at a university where the five highest paid employees were the men’s basketball coach, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired before that one, the former president who had been fired, and the current president. In that order.

turning a big dial that says "abdicating responsibility" on it and constantly looking back at the board for approval like a university leader under a right-wing government

So the lesson is: if Republicans freak out, spend all the money they can in the last two weeks, and get good rural turnout, they can limit Democratic overperformance relative to 2024 to 16 points.

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away. Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

“Strong Floor No Ceiling!” chant all the people who say they can’t support Defund the Police or Black Lives Matter because “they’re bad slogans that nobody understands.”

"What kind of future are we leaving for our children" is no longer asked. Billionaires and their cronies have evolved into beings that can't think more than six months out. Nobody is building anything to last or endure. Kids today are raised in a world where humans are sacrificed eagerly for profit.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!

Left: FDR campaign speech, October 1936 Right: 1936 electoral map

CEO is the one role AI is perfectly designed to replace. 1) Make guesses based on data you barely understand. 2) Ignore things like facts and reality if they're in your way. 3) Spin everything in the most optimistic voice possible.

Defense dipshits sure do love saying “lethal” and “warfighter.” Grow up, man.

You, a dangerous radical: We have to change the system so cartoon villains can't wreck the country again Me, a wise pragmatist: What if we simply rebranded the system? Welcome to America Premium+

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

The thing about immigration is that xenophobia and racism are the elite centrist position. Here's a senior fellow at Brookings, spouse of CRFP head Maya MacGuineas, explaining the mere presence of foreigners in Germany is a "problem" that someone must solve with "speed and determination."

Dems need to run on a platform of "replusive balding pundits are special boys"

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

“I was just following otters.”

Am I crazy or a few months ago, any Indiana state senator would have kept quiet about this (and likely supported trump), or at most said some kind of "I don't think trump's language is helpful but he's the leader of the party so I'll vote how he tells me to vote"?
