Holy shit.

When Trump spews his bullshit about an American city, or university, or whatever, it’s vitally important that locals provide these simple but effective rebuttals

Absolute bullshit, but worth it

Honestly, I’m not sure if it’s possible to plan for this degree of nihilistic entitlement, delusion, and sociopathy. It’s like asking an engineer what her plan is for an airliner if it explodes. Well, I guess the plan is everyone dies.

I think one of the more difficult things for people is that the work of strengthening our institutions and building trust in them is tedious and grueling work that happens at a snails pace and requires constant diligence.

Time travelling to 1790 and putting an Irish Catholic peasent, Arab Orthodox merchant and a Turksh Sunni Court offical before George Washington and asking him which of the three is white.

This is not just a fascist power grab although it is certainly that. It is frothing at the mouth, howling at the moon, eating bugs and bats for breakfast insanity. The question is whether it will produce in us the fear he seeks or the kind of fear that mobilizes us to save ourselves.

Whether its intentional or not making Americans less safe and less prepared is part of the "you voted for this" package you also got when you decided "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" was sexy.

despite being a Gun Nerd, albeit one that doesn't talk about it very much online for many reasons, I have not yet ACTUALLY held or fired a gun in my life, and I STILL would have better gun discipline than literally any of these cult of the operator chodes. It's embarrassing.

I think the admin is overestimating the bloodlust of normie America to see protesters on sidewalks mowed down by gov bullets. The WH has full poaster’s madness and their brains are so baked on edgelord provocations they’ve totally detached from society at large, performing for a shrinking minority.

The radicalisation happening of UK elites is bad, bodes ill for the future, but is also, to be clear, really really funny quite a lot of the time.

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

It is very simple. If you didn't vote for Harris, you are a piece of shit.

Trump is now threatening to prosecute his first hand-picked FBI director, Chris Wray

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, The Heritage Foundation published a 920 page manual on how they would destroy this country if people put Trump back in office. This administration is literally following those instructions. I know it’s cute to scream “AIPAC” but.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Ask Matt Walsh what the Founders and the first oh 200 years of America thought about Catholics. Total bigoted dumbass. Shame that Dearborn Michigan sided with him in protest.

“Know Nothings” in 1850s: This nightmarish city has a mayor named Walsh and city counselors named O’Malley and O’Rourke. Papist rituals are performed at public events. Is this America? Is this what our Founders had in mind?

They're not even bothering to actually try to construct a narrative of why Portland is in danger and needs to be "protected." They're just invading a Democratic city to show that they can, and hoping to incite violence in response.

Huh? We had two votes against the VRA. It was Sinema and Manchin. They are both gone. You have to be on another planet to think the Democrats won’t expand the Court in the next trifecta. You have to win first though,

I suspect this was actually written by someone who left Labour years ago but unfortunately we’re run by people who can still be convinced that I have their nose

Public speech that vilifies, humiliates or incites hatred against a group or class of persons on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual identity, ethnicity or disability is Hate Speech. #StandAgainstHate www.vox.com/politics/398...

You could write endless essays on what "adapt to the customs of this country" means.

The paper literally argues that the only way to stop racism is to let Farage win - and the defeating him would unleash "dark forces"

Pregnant women should not take Tylenol. They should inject bleach instead. by Donald Trump

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

Let’s be honest. Alyssa been banging Phee all night. That’s why Cheryl was heated. Her play style got Minnesota’s star player hurt…not cool. #wnba #wbb #womensbasketball #basketball #sports

Good job refs, you got Collier injured for the rest of the playoffs. #wnba

suddenly occurs to me that stephen miller looks like a sentient blackhead

now that way of starting the revolution that ends the American lead world order failed, but in electing Trump they have someone who's destroying America, alienating us from our allies, and getting Europe to embrace antisemitism, all wins if you want to destroy the "American Empire"

for many people "Free Palestine" is not about Palestinians at all, but the overthrow of the Capitalist, Imperialist, American Empire, (Zionist!) world order thats why you had people in the US, Canada, Australia, posting how excited they were on 10/7, the Revolution they thought had started

Americans protesting Kamala Harris over Gaza in 2025 would be like Germans protesting Otto Wels & Hans Vogel over the Nanjing Massacre in 1938.

Good for you, Peanut! #Bears

They all look the same to the Trump administration....

This is a "do better" post that somehow thinks that an American secret police would stop and say "no, no, don't arrest that guy, he was on Jeopardy." Mr. @thomastell.bsky.social, full phasers

Joke from the Soviet Union: Why do KGB officers travel in threes? One can read, one can write, and the third one keeps on eye on the two intellectuals

“This is an outrageous abuse of my personal data and privacy rights,” says user of site designed to abuse personal data and privacy rights. san.com/cc/app-for-o...

yes of course xAI should be destroyed but it is endlessly amusing that they cannot control what grok does, and it's pretty consistent in shitting on its owner, with the latest example being the LLM calling Musk's alleged meet up plans with Epstein on pedo island true

The superintendent ICE arrested in Iowa either had a fucking insane life or this is their next big screwup like Kilmar Garcia was.

C and it isn't a close call.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

guys I don’t want to be alarming but maybe journalists shouldn’t use a website that is owned and operated by the guy who funded the fascist government’s campaign and who seems intent on fueling similar right wing movements across the globe

people like Sirota, who have an almost pathological opposition to building more housing, fascinate me
