the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces. It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.

so much for "make America healthy again" I guess 🫠

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help. My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes. I hate having to ask this

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

beautiful words

🚨awoooooooo🚨

low energy dictator bullshit

I can't imagine who's going to want the job but whatever, I guess

popping the Tylenol and waiting for the autism to kick in

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Chelsea on Caturday

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Today is a FINE FUCKING DAY to stop posting screenshots from Twitter, a platform your dumb ass should have abandoned a long time ago. Stop wading in sewage and bringing us the ripest turds.

Trying to strike a balance between hating political violence and hating Charlie Kirk, while acknowledging America’s history of violence against Black leaders and liberation activists that Kirk doesn’t care about, while also pointing out the systemic problems the right built that led us to this...

this guy is not bad at football, huh

I don't care who they are, whether I voted for them or I admire their work or whatever: I vote to air out those files

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I married an atheist and occasionally eat bacon. I also condemn the Netanyahu government in the starkest possible terms. Do I have to give my space laser back now?

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

The whole Cracker Barrel thing is the nail in the coffin for the word WOKE. It's meaningless to those people now. It means fucking nothing. It means "I don't like this because it changed." It means "I have a room temperature IQ and something doesn't look right." It means "The world scares me mommy!"

Minneapolis is ready for change.

BREAKING: The NCAA to punish Michigan by giving their fans a fun day on the internet, as a treat

absolutely not

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history. We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too. And the US is throwing it away. For what?

BRONTOSAURUS: roar STEGOSAURUS: roar TYRANNOSAURUS: roar THESAURUS: bellow

I'm going to miss this 🔥🕷️🔥

The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it

this is one of the many reasons why you can't believe a word of their 'Make America Healthy Again' bullshit

The US is in the hands of a gang of psychopathic criminals led by a mad king with a collapsing brain, and the media just keeps pretending this is all normal.

If you're applauding the end of the separation of powers and whatnot, may you be haunted by the ghosts of every social studies teacher your stupid ass has ever had.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
