Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.

I'm antifa. Please send me $$. I don't want to leave a digital trail that might endanger both of us, so it would be better if we arranged a safe spot for a transfer of bags of cash, in the manner of Tom H. Ping me for details.

Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

Jesse Singal is to transphobia what Andrew Wakefield is to anti-vaxx

whew, huge relief, there's a rapture explainer

No real surprise, except for the number five, but it’s worth considering Elon Musk’s desire to spread his genes around in light of this. It tells you something about what he thinks is important and what he thinks is not.

the rapture is a hilarious idea that the american protestants made up in the mid 19th century as a way for chickenshit losers to spare themselves the miserable horrors they liked imagining for other people skipping suffering??? NOT VERY CATHOLIC TBH

in addition to these, the amicus brief submitted by philosophers on Supreme Court cases considering trans athletes also contains one additional reference to Plato's Phaedrus and a disclosure that "The Witherspoon Institute made a monetary contribution to the preparation or submission of this brief."

Zohran already understands his role and his clout. WABC needs the guy who's going to be next mayor more than he needs them. Jeffries needs him more than he needs Jeffries.

Jimmy Kimmel's reinstatement on the day after the Charlie Kirk ascension into heaven is kind of breaking my brain at the moment. Looks like once again I chose the wrong week to stop drinking beer.

Holy God in Heaven, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is useless.

Santa's weird Libertarian elf has failed in his quest to starve Argentina's economy back to health. So now we're gonna prop him up with America's tax dollars. Terrific.

it's important to make these companies more afraid of people with empathy and good sense than they are of weird fucking brigading authoritarian babies we outnumber these assholes by a wide margin

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Bob Iger should absolutely lose his job over this still.The absolutely lightspeed turnaround says those cancellation numbers must have been staggering It’s the second time that he panicked in the face of manufactured controversy,and both times they had to scramble to placate their customers/talent

I can’t get over how susceptible to abuse this is. Are they really able to complain if you don’t pay minimum wage? What is to prevent it from becoming a kind of kafala system?

"Reactionary" is too mild to describe MAGA ideology. They don't just oppose progress; they derive their positions from seeing what their enemies like and then attacking it, even if doing so has no purpose beyond causing misery. Hence the hostility to solar/wind, the Hyundai raid, and so forth.

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

There is no John Roberts without Leonard Leo and the other far right Catholics on the Supreme Court. Credit where credit is due. Leonard Leo spent 35 years and $600 million destroying the court. Not Roberts. John is just one of six Leo tools. newrepublic.com/article/1997...

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

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."

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

We made a stab at the answer to your question in 'In Formation' magazine: informationmagazine.com

I'd start informing your friends and loved ones they're going to need to get off of TikTok it's indisputably going to be converted into yet another right wing surveillance and propaganda machine

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Christ have mercy.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Or, in my case, by a 100-point margin.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

At this point, if you do not see what is going on here, you are dumber than a Nazi

The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

It's! A! Miracle!!!

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

Gotta say I’m not a big fan of 2 Jim Crow 2 Furious

“limiting face coverings and opening officers up to prosecution would most likely hurt recruitment and drive officers from the state” So nobody will want to be a police officer if they’re not allowed to commit crimes with impunity?

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

The road to authoritarianism is paved with cynicism

These people are dumb, lazy fuckups, they are not going to destroy the First Amendment on what remains of the neck of Long Horst Wessel unless we let them

Alas.

Worse than Watergate. It’s out in the open and no one in Congress is doing anything about it.

Yep. There is so much denial going on. bsky.app/profile/marg...

Impeach, remove, replace.

The GOPQ Senators are cowards. Time for them to look at impeachment/removal of a dementia'd tyrant. They are being coerced, threatened, blackmailed and/or promised ill gotten gain. "We are all afraid" ... so fu*king pathetic, www.youtube.com/shorts/9gM1Y...

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.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

You really must watch this video from Dutch TV. The announcer speaks Dutch, but the video is in English. Makes me wish US media were this ballsy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRX...
