Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

my god... it's real... the interracial cuck porn theory of everything...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Turns out the “brief period” equaled 17 whole minutes.

Popularism tell us that democrats have to stop talking about the economy and pivot to immigration (pro)

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

I keep this image on my desktop now because of how often I have to use it.

Always wild that this isn't already illegal www.notus.org/money/tom-su...

I think we're seeing today who is so afraid, so desperate to believe that things will be okay, that they're ready to put their faith in the author of Trump v United States to save us from Trump

John Roberts is not breaking from Trump and is not neutrally applying the law. Anyone pretending otherwise needs to have a long look in the mirror and reflect on what clearly core aspect of their identity needs to believe something so laughably false

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Another week concludes w/ no routine news briefing at the Pentagon. The last on-camera briefing was held for the "new" right-wing press corps nearly *three* months ago, on Dec. 2. The press space has been mostly vacant since the traditional press corps departed in October. #transparency

I think what he means is that there's a threat that there will be an accretion of power in the hands of a Democrat at some point. as long as it's a republican it's fine.

stopped clock, etc.

this is a not very subtle call for his nazi followers to send death threats to the justices' families.

I bet if the FBI wasn't run by morons Savannah Guthrie wouldn't be forced to go on TV and tell some two bit kidnappers she'll pay millions of dollars in bitcoin for her mother's safe return

How many feds and sheriffs deputies in this town 60 miles from the border were taken off the job of doing real investigations to focus on fake immigration outrage. I wonder!

I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.

But it's "newsworthy" to treat AOC like a fucking dumbshit because she said "um"

We could have photos like this too if peole gave a shit about men raping kids in this country

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times, he is shredding the first amendment, he is brazenly corrupt, he is opening concentration camps in their districts, and he is starting an unprovoked war with Iran. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DISRUPT THE STATE OF THE UNION. The whole D leadership needs to go.

Trump's insight that being openly corrupt makes him immune to the conventions of "political scandals" is perhaps the greatest example of his peculiar political genius.

Hannity last night: We need to invade Iran because they won't give up their nuclear program. Hannity last June: Iran's “nuclear ambitions” are “officially dead” after Trump "obliterated" their nuclear sites. www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity...

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

9-year-old Maria Antonia was supposed to go to Disney World. Instead, immigration agents sent her to Dilley, Texas.

Actually the Luddite movement wasn't a blanket rejection of all technological advancements but fought specifically against automation that harmed workers for the sake of convenience. So when you think about it, it aligns almost perfectly with the modern day fight against AI, and maybe we should rec-

The Brazilian political system is, structurally, very similar to the American one. But when they elected a Trump-style authoritarian back in 2018, their Congress and Supreme Court actually fought back. I went to Brazil to find out why. And what I learned surprised me. www.vox.com/politics/479...

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

I would take the popularists more seriously if they in any way engaged with the absolute collapse of Labour, which - contrary to their protestations - has in fact followed their suggestions in many ways

[popularism voice] when I hit on a wedge issue that splits my coalition, I know what to do: constantly and loudly bring it up

a) public opinion has shifted on this stuff before and it can shift back b) even if polling is shifting against trans folks evidence is pretty convincing that going all in on anti-trans rhetoric is not winning elections for the GOP c) who cares what polling says trans rights are human rights

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Once more: Columbia could have fought; it chose not.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

It's a police state. Call it what it is. See also: presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...
