Trust The Plan

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

For my part, I think that being friendly with a convicted pedophile shows the kind of bad judgement that should disqualify people from any large leadership position. But to many people occupying those leadership positions, Epstein's pedophilia conviction seems to have felt like an asset.

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

fucking horrible. V for Vendetta shit. hell is not hot enough

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

Unionize your workplace so you can call the president a pedophile in the national spotlight and keep your job

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

The Patriots shall not be vanquished till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane!

In my mind, Matt spends the day staring at the wall seething with resting sociopath face until it’s time to go to his overdone Bass Pro Shop studio and complain about how Blues Clues is woke. A truly incurious man with transparently no patience or respect for anything that exists outside himself.

I want to thank every single “expert” especially the ones in internet culture for mocking the buildup to this They’ll say and do nothing, act like it was inevitable and put millions into AI to avoid making strategic changes

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

We're excited to announce our first endorsements of 2026! All three of these candidates have been endorsed by their local Indivisible groups and members, and all are running in Democratic primaries where voters face a clear choice about the future direction of the Party. 🧵

Imagine being so upset that the halftime performance isn't being put on by yet another incredibly gifted American son that you put on your own spite broadcast of d-listers to try to compete. These people hate this country. They take no pride in it. They take no pride in its artists.

In Boston ICE randomly pulled over this huge white Irish guy with a Mass drivers license, 20 years in the states, legal status, pending green card and have held him for 5 months, his citizen wife paid a $4k bond that was ignored(!) ICE forged his signature on deportation agreement, no appeal

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

3/ “I have never been separated from my siblings and its honestly sad because they are little and they need their mom and sister.” From 14-year-old Ariana V.V, whose U.S.-citizen siblings are 2 and 5 years old. Detained for 45+ days

Not even Trump watched the TPUSA halftime show

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

And micromanaging low-level employees.

Baselessly including "destruction" here is pretty telling, imo. It invokes the uprising in a way that is unhelpful and ignorant of what is happening on the ground. The only people destroying property are ICE agents who have been breaking windows and crashing cars.

PS I'm willing to bet many of the shows you follow on NPR are actually independent syndicated productions like This American Life and Radiolab. Support them directly.

getting the NFL in the cultural divorce isn’t enough; the left needs to re-appropriate owning reasonably-sized vintage pickup trucks too. Having a non-asshole RAM/F150 truck is insanely cool and useful and it’s time for everyone to admit this.

Epstein: i loveee surronuding mysefl wi the smartestt mind^s= Dawkins: I'M SO MAD Dawkins: SOME UPPITY WOMAN MADE A POST ON THE INTERNET>:C Dawkins: FUCKIN FEMOIDS Dawkins: I WILL MAKE THIS MY PERSONALITY FOREVER Dawkins: also did you know that muslims have a genetically smaller thinking bone

One of the foundational beliefs of American conservatism is that it's cheating for Democrats to fight back and in fairness, Democrats themselves have only believed otherwise for about three months so the confusion is understandable

What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.

It's nice that Dana Bash said "Oh, come on" when Dr. Oz blatantly lied. But she should have ended the interview immediately instead of letting him go on and telling hm, "Thank you so much for being here." People are dying because CNN legitimizes Dr. Oz.

Taxing billionaires out of existence may be the most critical domestic policy fight of our lifetimes.

the vibe

What app/software do other old people write on? I refuse to accept that Normal formatting on MS Word is in any way normal for a human being who learned to type on a typewriter, but I've been using MS business software forever. I just want to type, man

Bad Bunny isn't an immigrant. This shit is cooked through. 150 years of being a newspaper and now you're a 4chan comment thread.

Maybe we're finally free of him...

A federal court cleared way for us @democracydefendersfund.org to depose Elon Musk over the unconstitutional shutdown of USAID Our case now moves into discovery As our Legal Director Tianna Mays explains: accountability starts w/ facts👇 - TN

"It's not on your resume, but weren't you on the Washington Post editorial board in 2024 and 2025?" "You can't prove that!"

This is a fake Trump post, and the account that posted it here has been told repeatedly that it's a fake Trump post but still has it up. That's an easy block.

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

he'll absolutely get another journalism job before most of the journalists he laid off

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy! When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship. There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

Trump actual speech vs. What WaPo put into article.

Even after all of it. Still looking out for others.

I'm not going to settle for that by the way. All of these locations are going to be closed and gone over forensically in order to charge the appropriate crimes.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

It’s not a troubled newspaper, it’s owed by the second richest man on earth who could fund it forever and not notice the cost. This is an intentional self-inflicted wound.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

I want to go back to this: this is a genuinely crazy thing to say when the latest polling indicates a supermajority of the party wants Abolish You have been handed political capital on a silver platter, and you're telling us "no thank you." You're telling us "I know ball" and holding up a cube

Kash Patel abetting the cover up of ICE murders and Pam Bondi’s corruption and complicity in allowing the collapse of the federal prosecutors office are worthy of an impeachment and removal.

There is so little good coverage on the millions left to die by the richest human on earth so bless ProPublica for this.
