This is why Platner should drop out. He should make a statement about why he’s an imperfect candidate and basically say he thinks that the momentum he experienced is a sign of what an American electorate wants and offer that someone else in the primary who is a better candidate carry that onward.

We're going to win.

this is not a russian tie. it's a sign the person inside can cut your hair

If the protests weren't happening, it would be too easy for people to dismiss the rise of fascism as normal. The question would be "where are the protests in the streets?" If nothing else, protests give others some comfort they're not alone.

Heh, amateur. You need Burner phones in Faraday bags. Drone recon w/ thermal overlay. Exfil routes pre-mapped. Comms on encrypted freq. Full MOPP gear for CBRN threats. Defensible rally points with snipers. Surgeons and fake passports (with new face) ready. Then; *maybe* you can attend a protest.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

democrats can now reach young men by telling them that trump wants to take away their naruto and their one piece

Presidential systems, often ones explicitly modeled on ours, have failed in ~every country that’s tried them other than here, because of basically this—the Presidency absorbs the powers of the legislature, often for what seem like good reasons, until you have a President that’s unrestrained.

This is obviously monstrous but it also makes me think that the big Gathering of the Generals thing he's doing is going to be some dumb bullshit

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

"Stop calling us Nazis or else we'll have you sent to the camps!"

Oh my god blue sky needs to fix this video loading problem

Gov Pritzker: One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into American cities is because he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections. If it becomes a norm for people, then it won't be abnormal to have troops at the ballot boxes. It's about intimidating people from going to the polls

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

It’s super bad to suggest someone is in hell, right, Republicans?

This is explicitly happening because Republicans and billionaires have basically no fear that Democrats will respond to this authoritarianism. The most imperative thing for activists and liberals to do is make Democrats stop talking about bipartisanship and start talking about legal consequences.

yeah they're guys who like a cartoon frog and hate minorities. they think the president should be more racist. it's spelled groyper. no mom i don't know these guys.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Someone posted this again today and I cannot believe how it’s just the skeleton key for like 75% of American politics

The two most prominent politicians in America who compared Trump to Hitler are not Democrats but members of his own administration: Vice President Vance and HHS Secretary Kennedy.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

The President of the United States said, on TV today, that the U.S. should have a justice system more like China's, with quick trials that happen the next day. And most of the media decided that wasn't news, because .... you know what he's like.

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

you have to admit it’s funny that they cared about the Cracker Barrel logo as long if not longer than this

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

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

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Any reporting about right-wing influencers reacting to the Charlie Kirk shooting with “we’re under attack, They won’t stop, this means war” should include other times they said something similar. Any violence, protests, verbal criticism, an interracial couple, you name it. They talk like that a lot.

I know this is quaint but it's still important to say: This post alone violates his oath and is an impeachable offense.

we gave people a magic device in their pockets with access to all the knowledge in the world and they used it to cook their brains with racist memes.

You know that right wing meme when they look at a baroque church and are like “no one knows how they did this. We’ve forgotten how.” That’s how I feel about this 36 seconds of 30 rock

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Marc Maron on comics who voted for Trump.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

PETER THIEL: we want to kill everyone. we want slaves. we will scour the earth until nothing can grow THE NEWS: thats his beliefs and we respect that

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

Many of the seemingly baffling decisions made by the current administration make sense when you realize that it is a loose coalition of very divergent ideologies whose sole point of agreement is "suffering is good, actually". 1/

Trump is going to great lengths to cover up something that’s personally damaging about his years long association with the world’s most infamous child sex trafficker. It’s really not that hard to imagine what he’s trying to hide.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
