Focusing on a guy who was imprisoned for his campus speech! The cynicism of Powell's entire project is breathtaking

vaxxed?

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

They’re saying nobody has ever done a national suicide as beautiful as mine. They say to me, eyes full of tears, “Mr President I’ve never seen a country kill itself as bigly.” And I smiled to myself. Think of that. Killing yourself. I’d do it. Maybe I will do it right now, who’d stop me? I wouldn’t.

“Voting against the troops”

lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit

We should never ever forget why they did it

tapping the sign

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

Say what you will about the strikes on Iran and the resulting chaos, but Hegseth truly has captured the chivalric ethos of the original Crusaders (purposeless, unstrategic, basically slaughtering people for clout)

Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Keir Starmer could not be reached for comment

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

okay but like the burden is literally on us

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

I do think that the elite reactionary centrist and right wing pundits’ turn to “Jeffrey Epstein did nothing wrong” is more or less the logical conclusion of the post Me Too “wokeness” and “cancel culture” panic.

I cannot begin to express how happy I am that everyone, including the people I hate viscerally, now agree with me specifically

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

I mean!!!!

to be a bit serious one irony of vance’s life is that he is also an addict: addicted to power and clearly willing to sell anything to get it

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

Excited for Professor Wurman's new brief, "Why the Original Meaning of the First Amendment Does Not Include Black Journalists"

"Trump's deportations were popular until January 24, 2026" is one of those beliefs you can have only if you live in an elite centrist Dem bubble where you have a treasure chest of incentives to ignore the data. Yes, support for Trump has trended down, but it was already deeply negative by June 2025!

This guy would’ve spent the entire campaign undermining Kamala during the run and if we’re honest, that’s exactly what his boosters had in mind

My perspective on Shapiro's self immolation

dawg what

second sitting black congressperson to be assaulted in the past week. all the violence seems to be coming from one side, and it ain’t ours

was this premeditated murder

More and more people are saying that the center-left political elite has its own omnicause reactionism problem centered around personal grievances against pro-Palestine students and transgender people.

I wonder how many people need to get killed in the street by masked agents of the state before conservatives stop pretending that they’re being oppressed by the existence of HR departments bsky.app/profile/shar...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

people should probably like maybe get the death penalty for this or something

When you realize you used your influential platform to make this version of our country happen
