This is basically antithetical to Mamdani’s entire electoral pitch.

Did I have a fever dream or did we stop minting pennies this year

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

the roman empire? man i think about THIS empire at least once a day

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment. Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

If you’ve decided that candidates opposing Trump shouldn’t have standards of moral decency or any expectations of character placed on them anymore you’re not my ally.

It's kinda weird how many times I've just totally forgotten that my government is shut down.

this ballroom is so Great just really tremendous but you know what it's missing? a guillotine

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

if someone spits in the king's eye and you do not applaud you deserve to be a serf.

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading". it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in. today's subway reading: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Please try to hope.

I don’t appreciate your tone

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

I hate these people. Even the beating of a woman isn't serious to them. The only thing that's serious to them is transgender litter boxes in middle school (which wasn't even true).

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples? HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

ICE needs a legislative death sentence. We are allowed to abolish institutions when they become unaccountable beyond the point of reform, or when they become inextricably associated with corruption or abuse. In order for ICE’s leaders and agents to be held to account ICE itself must die.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

We are living through the most consequential shift in the constitutional government of the United States in over a hundred and fifty years and nobody seems to have even noticed yet.

the weird incel "hypergamy" narrative that the hottest 5% of males are getting 60% of women is incredibly offensive because they have no right to misgender trans lesbian tops like that

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

It's crazy that the Trump administration is so lame that they made Tylenol counter-culture and cool

Good for you. Everyone else: Watch DS9. Let the Bell Riots radicalize you.

Michigan Avenue right now.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable! Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Any form of media that involves an angry man telling an audience what to be angry about for several hours a day is probably not good for the human brain

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

So many of these agents are so stupid and bad at their job. We funded them like an army and so many fail at the one thing they're charged by the fascist regime to do.

They'll still blame immigrants and jews.

Holy moly what a tweet

what the fuck is going on

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

There‘s a flavor of dunk on here thats basically “Oh, you had a nonzero level of faith in society? You thought norms, laws, and basic human decency had literally any value whatsoever? You dumb motherfucker. You worthless aas,” and like… calm down and stop kicking people while they’re down.

The equivalent of what in political science are called Americanists. They can only imagine normal life, and don’t know what to do when things go off the rails.

I'm at the South Seattle Emerald mayoral debate at the Royal Room. First question for Harrell: How do you grade yourself? Harrell says that's a "silly exercise" and he can always improve. "I’ve been judged my entire life. I’ve been discriminated against my entire life, pre-judged my entire life."

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

never alone

Most people who disagree with me aren't Nazis. They're just people who don't share my opinions or fundamental convictions. But some people have fascist politics. I will call those people Nazis, because fascist politics should be named, stigmatized, and shamed.

I won't say to be complacent, but I will say not to be scared because being afraid of these fucking people is beneath you. Yes, even you, internet rando who I strongly dislike.

Yeah, man, the South famously never tried to impose its will on the North. Good talk.

“Haha those idiot farmers!” No. This was always a part of the plan. Farmers voted for lower taxes (farmers are rich) and for the government to allow them to abuse their workers knowing that Trump would bail them out. Farmers are getting everything they wanted.
