Hey, remember how we let a nazi near-trillionaire annihilate the US state capacity? I know it was a whole year ago, but it turns out that this has consequences beyond "murdering 14 million people by ending USAID" (which apparently no one cared about).

A fitting culmination of the trajectory of the GWOT blogger set to see Trump use "forever war" to justify launching a new war since part of how we got here is ppl who predicated their whole careers on opposing these wars ignored a D president stopping them bc being anti-D was more impt to them

Trump's biggest appeal, & as this post shows it even jumps the horseshoe, is the idea that he'll hurt the people you hate the most but not you.

Rubio didn't issue the order evacuating non-emergency personnel from the Baghdad Embassy...an obvious no-fucking-duh move to do BEFORE you start a war of choice with Iran...until this morning. Clown show the-world-is-my-grand-theft-auto-game numbskulls the lot of them.

I wish more people understood this. This isn't "he's trying to manage public health and failing." It's "he's trying to destroy public health." That's the GOAL. And he's succeeding.

Periodic reminder: Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million 💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million

I can't stop thinking about the post I saw a few days ago that called Harris voters evil because "you eagerly chose to slaughter Palestinians because you didn't want fascism to disrupt your comfortable lives," as if fascism was just some inconvenience that would only affect rich liberals.

Not sure what the actual title of this piece of art is, but it is a figure of a woman surrounded by sea-lions, so I am assuming it is something like: “First Woman on the Internet.”

I like how everybody is just now realizing what a badass Hillary Clinton is. But, let the record show when she displayed the same intelligence, knowledge, wit and fortitude *as a FEMALE candidate* it was characterized as “hard” “bitchy” “mean” “snide” “condescending”.

One wonders if, perhaps, had the organizations best-equipped and most well-funded to combat this kind of rising bipartisan antisemitism not so completely thrown their lot in with the current government of Israel, they might have more influence in attempting to bat-down this growing sentiment.

I sure do remember being lectured at by leftists about how the Green Party was the only morally sound option to vote for. Lol, lmao even.

None of this changes the fact that 10/7 was the worst act of genocidal antisemitism since the Holocaust, and I do not understand the kind of person who would take issue with that factual claim, especially when the response is literal whataboutism.

I don’t think it’s insane, it’s the phones. The average person doesn’t rationalize things as statistics, they respond to things they can see and algorithmic video is full of videos of crime and unruly cities that they interpret as things getting worse because they’re seeing it more on their phones.

Watching the DVR-ed @maddow.bsky.social show, and the bottom of the screen where the chyron sits is masked out for some reason. Weird.

I agree. He is not a strategic thinker, he just needs to be the star. I worked at Dow Jones, then the WSJ, then Barron's, editing coverage of him at every stage. He was always inserting himself into issues that had f-all to do with him (the vicious Central Park 5 ad was a perfect example).

I am on a “Transmisogyny” list specifically because I said that trying to harass Black people out of their jobs and driving them off this website is racist behavior. The person who put me on it even explicitly said they were doing it as an act of revenge for that.

Hey, we're all gonna die.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Not the major takeaway but it's linguistically interesting how Trump has likely destroyed any cultural attraction to the sentence "Thank you for your attention to this matter" through repeated use. It's like the rhetorical equivalent of Hitler's mustache.

If you think the only way to help the Palestinians is to make common cause with fucking Nazis, you dont wanna help Gaza, you wanna use this moment to say k**e. You’re scum, and should be treated as such.

Stephanie Ruhle has Great Wall Street sources. She just said most of them think this will all be wrapped up by Friday. They Are Fucking Morons.

I'd like to point out that Donald Trump attended a single dignified transfer in his first term, was confronted by a family member of a fallen soldier at it, and promptly wussed out of ever attending another one again.

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

My dad just said, “It is going to be transgender for everyone, because I’ll be damned if my grandkids are going to die for this idiot.”

Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it

Last week, Lauren Boebert was unapologetic for sending photos to Benny Johnson from the deposition, all while mocking Hillary Clinton. However, here she sounds panicked after Hillary angrily calls her out for doing it, promising not to do it again for the rest of the closed door testimony.

The left's war on Jews is expanding to target trans people too.

Shit people don't want, but is getting put in everything, anyway: 1. AI 2. Prediction markets 3. Dubai chocolate

When they said they'd run the government like a business, they meant they'd spend all day golfing and drinking while they passed off the work to someone else.

We don't have 200,000 people to roll in there. It would take months to transfer all the equipment and personnel. We have, like, one 4,000 person armor brigade in Kuwait.

New addition to the bookshelf (hi randy)

The thing about "Yeah he has a Nazi tattoo, and goes on Antisemitic podcasts, but he believes in Medicare for All" is...how hard to do you think he's going to fight for the "for All" part? Isn't much more likely he'll try to file down "All" into a contained group, a Volk if you will.

Ruben Gallego who has voted to confirm many of Trumps cabinet picks, takes money from crypto packs & said "dem women look like dem men & dem men look like women" endorses the guy who "accidentally" had a nazi tattoo for 18 years & "accidentally" keeps cozying up to white nationalists.

INBOX: @gallego.senate.gov endorses man with a Nazi tattoo who quoted tweeted a white supremacist, appeared on an antisemitic podcast, and wrote on Reddit that victims of sexual assault should “just take some responsibility for themselves” to avoid attacks and “act like an adult for fucks sake.”:

I've stopped being surprised by the capacity of non-Black supposed leftists to grove with racist dogwhistles in political communications. Racism just tickles their amygdala.
