I will take any and all bets that if Ossoff wants it in 2028, he’ll cut the field to ribbons.

Wonderfully sober and what ought to be a coffin-sealing preview into the natural endpoint of popularism.

'fraudulent amber alert' is the sort of thing that simply must have decades in prison attached to it because of how corrosive it is to one of the few remaining high-trust law enforcement/public safety mechanisms.

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

The terminus of Kavanaugh’s logic here is a functionally lawless society. I’m not saying that breathlessly - he’s incentivizing astronomical lawbreaking as the surest measure of avoiding legal oversight.

Basically think we need a financial Rains of Castamere for the Trump, Witkoff, and Lutnick families. Complete asset seizure.

they want to turn the country into a giant 1950s coca cola ad

she is the devil’s dam

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

The thing I loved about that Bad Bunny performance: he felt less like the star and more like a tour guide. Every second was spent proudly ushering us into another story about culture and community.

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

Nah that’s Drake Maybe out there #SuperBowl

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Next reporter: What would you say to Epstein survivors? Next reporter: What would you say to Epstein survivors? Next reporter: What would you say to Epstein survivors? Next reporter: What would you say to Epstein survivors? Next reporter: What would you say to Epstein survivors?

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Fascism with Pedo Characteristics

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

“Tough” = “will lie for me on television” “Fair” - “won’t grumble that there was only $50k in the Cava bag”

over at liberal currents we've been emphasizing from the start the personalist nature of trump II--and on top of that, its highly ideological nature, and its fundamentally aesthetic conception of politics. all of these things are anathema to basic *state capacity.*

The worms that staff the board room at Target can’t even muster the courage to call things straight. Meanwhile, the patriots of their home city will hold fast to the flag and stand millimeters from the war machine.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

I know there are worse things going on. Far worse. But this polymarket post is a psychological nadir for me at a level far above the US government. An epoch-defining nadir in two lines.

Man, this is really a stunning, spectacular cave from Trump.

This is exactly right. In many ways, the next generation of the GOP is far, far, far worse than Trump for NATO/EU. And that cadre will never be more than spitting distance from power because the pro-NATO old guard didn’t have the minerals to damp-proof the house against the rot.

extremely savvy takes out there, such as "if the democrats say the word 'affordability,' the electorate will ignore the fact that they cannot do anything about it" and "it would be political malpractice to associate the republicans with a policy polling at 4% which would destroy the world."

This admin is astoundingly lazy. They just want to troll, post, and not do any real work on anything.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

This is unforgivable. There can be no reconciliation with these bastards.

I think this administration sees everything through a WWE lens so my basic prescription to Dems is let out your inner Attitude Era.

Slightly diminish a game: Luigi’s Colonial

I am glad to see clergy recognizing that this is a moment to lead morally outraged people in the works of Christ. Not just in defending the weak, but in praying for the wicked to return to loving their neighbors.

Professionally, I’ve spent a lot of time watching people realize in real time they’ve been cornered and their only response is to make it to the next sentence. This woman is gone. She has no idea where to go here.

Might be time to ask US business and media elites if they want to get off the ride before it crashes into a very fucking serious wall.

We protest because we cannot breathe in a world where this doesn’t matter.

Embrace tradition

Unless you are stabbing them with a flagpole to stop the steal, obviously.

Fascism distilled

A functioning moral being would simply accept responsibility. A sociopath would obfuscate and say the victim was in the wrong. But this monster goes a step further, claiming the victim was not only to blame, but part of a larger, organized conspiracy against ICE. It’s just base evil.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Think about the moral bankruptcy signaled by a press corps and political sphere being exceptionally careful to remind you that the victim was a US citizen. Think about what it means that they feel they have to do that to imbue this story and individual with meaning and value.

Yes. We don’t need “an immediate investigation and explanation” like some of the democratic caucus is warbling about. I know what I saw in the video, and what I saw was an execution in cold blood. There is no more context to be had.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

I am wholeheartedly in agreement with this, and I’m begging leaders to recognize their appeals to normalcy through rhetoric are wearing thin. Call for a national strike, a march on Washington. Something! I will fly anywhere tomorrow if someone with a national profile lights the way.

Here you see in microcosm the difference between the rotten US press corps and journalism in the rest of the world. The former still operates under the auspices of a deferential civic religion, while the latter knows that the press is supposed to draw truth from liars, however uncomfortable it is.
