Yeah, this is bad, but we're at the point where fascism prioritizes loyalty over competence to a breathlessly hysterical degree.

"Yes, your entire state and all its inhabitants are morons, and possibly also rubes, but certainly very stupid and without agency." Never change, Bluesky.

Got to be devastating for the Paxton team to base a campaign around your corrupt hog candidate being an "alpha male," and then doxxing Talarico's objectively hot girlfriend.

Platner is a well-heeled elitist cosplaying as a blue-collar guy. But he's is also a loafer who lives in a $205k house and relies on military disability checks to survive. Shrödingers Senator, baby. Anyway, please vote for down to earth Susan Collins.

Bingo.

Like Platner, don't like Platner — needing politicians to be perfect role models is a uniquely American grotesqueness. Ask these people how they feel about LBJ or his role in history, who made Platner look like a girl scout in terms of bigotry.

Evangelical Christian awarding golden idols to man who embodies every single one of the seven deadly sins.

The entire Platner pearl clutching on here is manufactured by lifelong centrists who simply hate progressives. Here's Lisa in 2020 informing everyone gleefully that Bernie Sanders is primed "to be crushed" in the primary. It's really bad faith.

Very interested in future executive use of emergency power, post, Trump and under this new legal landscape, to tackle climate change. Any transfer of power will have to account for the politicization of SCOTUS, but it's a ripe area for gameplanning.

The same people saying this will say, without irony, 'Bernie Sanders is supporting a Nazi for senate.' Without a whiff of irony.

It's been fascinating and sad watching Bluesky go from a place to read the insights of brilliant journos and academics to the pearl-clutching and infighting of deeply cloistered terminally online. It's weird, man.

Insinuating that someone like Liz Warren didn't do her due diligence here despite being one of, if not thee, sharpest humans in Congress. Seems silly.

If any of us needed a reminder about why we should not start to rely on LLM’s, this is it. They want to own your mind, and ration it back in a drip.

America is losing the war narrative to Iran. Total disaster.

1. Blow up Iranian nuclear deal already in place. b/c you hate Obama 2. Bomb Iran. 3. Threaten Iran to sign exact same nuclear deal. 4. Tell Iranians it's a shame they'll be murdered b/c Iran didn't agree to a nuclear deal.

Bingo

He's aware he doesn't have the kingmaking juice anymore.

MyPillow/Shamwow '32

But federal agents (i.e. public employees) can't be unmasked for fear of doxxing.

Dude crashing out that members of a community care for each other is just a dead-on microcosm of the right-wing collective brain.

Very respectfully, get fucked and hang tight until the indictment arrives.

We all sort of knew it deep down, but it's been incredible to see that for 95% of the Second Amendment, "Shall not infringe" crowd gun ownership is, and has always just been, penis insecurity fantasy play. Truly Potemkin Village human beings.

I think about this music video a lot and how it probably could've taken down the Soviet Union a decade earlier if it sneaked inside the Iron Curtain.

Remember the fake electors scheme? Maybe it's not boots on the ground. Maybe it's simply NOT accepting the results of the election. It's Johnson simply not swearing in election winners. And in the 20 weeks it takes SCOTUS to rule on it, they cook an entire propaganda campaign or worse.

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

Why is a law enforcement agent filming citizens with his private phone? Either live streaming being a goon for the Groyper army or some sort of facial/plate recognition software they have loaded up. Indict, indict, indict.

This man has the likability numbers of chlamydia and they still trot him out there because they have nobody else less ghoulish.

Remember folks, no money for healthcare or clean water or childcare or infrastructure or paid maternal leave or expanded veterans benefits or affordable housing or national parks or clean energy or... 1.5 Trillion for a "Dream Military" to be inevitably deployed against American citizens.

For every insufferable Schumer/Jefferies loyalist who claims there's nothing Democrats can do —— @tadstoermer.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pwm...

This literally looks like a shot from a Neil Breen movie. Never has such destruction been so tacky and juvenile.

This a hundred times over.

In Bruges, Eyes Wide Shut, and It's a Wonderful Life are the trifecta of Christmas movies.

Rick Steves is such a real one.

Powerful.

Oh man, the Heather Cox Richardson "Pearl Harbor Day" post is an absolute banger.

"Remember Black George Washington?" Trump obviously didn't write this post, so who is doing these Trumpian flourishes?

Bruh, the world's most notorious child sex trafficker claims Donald Trump is the most evil person he's ever met.

Democrats need to look at this insanity and look at Mamdani and find the common thread.

Just an incredible exchange from Anna Bower and Lindsey Halligan. Krusty's Cayman Island attorney would be proud.

remember when we had *several* news cycles over bill clinton getting onto loretta lynch's jet

Honestly humiliating to defend any of Kirk's actions as civil or good faith debate. The guy rage baited college kids from a raised stage. It was a grift.

Everything is so debased and broken that "reputable" journalists can call what Charlie Kirk made a career out of "free speech advocacy." He was a classic propagandist. Treat him as such.

i think this is the only news story in existence where they did the photo thing for both the perpetrator AND the victim, and only because both the perpetrator and the victim were cishet white male terrorists

This could've been us but you playing...

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Makes me think that one side may not be acting in good faith here....

This.

Ed Zitron smiling like the Grinch right now, getting ready to type out 75,000 words.

Dude looking like the president of that Seaworld kingdom that jar jar binks came from.
