One of the weirdest thing about this moment is watching liberal women calling the widow “Ofcharlie”, smug in the comfort of delivering a sick burn, not understanding that they’ve given her the name of an innocent victim in that story.

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate. It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

There’s room for joy in our politics @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

if u do not have anything nice to say well sometimes u are not wrong

need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive

Calling everything a distraction has been incredibly effective propaganda. Not that it's terribly convincing, but it gives everyone this veneer of cover for why nobody is doing anything. Everything is distracting from the REAL issue which we won't define or do anything about either.

Lads the HONK I just honked

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

This is what infuriates me about the “distraction” screeching. We’re watching the bitter children of the Confederacy slow-rolling a coup and these fuckin’ numpties only want to talk about the latest magic bullet they think will bring it all down.

increase a band: 100,000 Maniacs

None of it is a “distraction”, people who say this dumb shit have just decided they only care about the most salacious thing going at the moment.

Quick lesson in spotting fake news: if the site’s URL (in this case, luxury dot car magazine dot TV) doesn’t seem to line up with the content being shared, and if you can’t find any other sources reporting any of this info by googling the quoted words in the thumbnail… it’s 99% likely fake as hell.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

As everyone … scrambles for further evidence of Trump’s connection to the prolific pedophile and sex-trafficker, what’s been—once again—lost in this discourse is the hundreds of women who survived the horrors Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their moneyed friends inflicted upon them.

obviously this would be the seance hut

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

Hunter Biden of all people said some true shit and it went viral. People are desperate to see some passion. We're desperate to see fight. My message to Dem leaders and consultants is simple. If Hunter fucking Biden can capture our attention and you can't, maybe that's worth reflecting on.

If I was a mini horse for a day I would immediately do this, I bet it feels incredible

wow, Walton Goggins really brings an unexpectedly and uncomfortably sexy vibe to those terrible Walmart commercials

I mean what can you even say anymore, NYT is dead, WaPo is dead, do I hate that we have to get all our news from newsletters and individual reporters and blogs called Boozy Hamster and vet all that shit individually? Yes absolutely it’s very inconvenient, but how can you trust any other way nowadays

Instead of blaming children for their own deaths at the hands of a natural disaster, you could put that energy towards supporting a voting rights organization given that too many people in the south definitely do not have the power you seem to think they do

duck says queck

worth noting the pipeline here: * Trump-supporting anons hack Columbia data * Nazi twitter accounts dig around in the data * NYT picks up on Nazi substack posts, publishes Zohran story to damage his campaign * Chris Rufo immediately boosting the story

PUSSY BIBLES

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

the Big Beautiful Bill is extremely unpopular, fiscally disastrous, callous and cruel and devastating to Americans in need. And still we have national Democrats out on the Sunday morning TV shows criticizing their own party's mayoral candidate. A real wakeup call. Something's gotta give.

why is Sunday always an absolute garbage day on the internet, though

happy first day of the #Criterion 50% off sale to all who celebrate my condolences to all of our wallets

the mamdani thing is showing you how limited the range of acceptable opinions actually is in america. republicans can be a stone's throw away from endorsing genocide and thats fine but one guy goes slightly to the left of dem party orthodoxy and we're right in the middle of soviet russia

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Schindler’s List.

yeah you know what i don’t think I’m a democrat anymore

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I know we all know this but it’s always so important to remember that transphobes who claim to fight for women’s equality generally proceed from the belief that women are inferior to men across the board they wouldn’t treat trans women like they had cheat codes if they respected cis women’s skills!

my soul left my body watching the fox news feed glitching out as the tanks roll past the president’s observation stand and the announcer’s voice echoes across the mostly empty streets, “special thanks to our sponsor, palantir”

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
