We should bury those scribes alive with their pharaoh.

"Someone has to be happy" -- I deny the premise

everything else aside, this is a dogshit lede. a middle school newspaper writer would be less fawning.

Given the way the IDF is acting—like genocidal savages—shouldn't we be considerably *more* concerned about Israel having nuclear weapons than almost anyone else? In 47 years, the death toll from Iranian-sponsored terrorism appears to match approximately 3 hours of IDF bombardment

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

You don’t have to be the Antichrist to be Antichristlike.

Like... it's possible to argue that Bluesky holds Platner to a higher standard than your average Democratic voter and that by spending so much time on Bluesky you missed that the average Dem voter doesn't care about the tattoo, but don't make it sound like WE'RE the actual assholes for caring.

"Orbán’s defeat capped a week of failure for Vance and Trump, a sign of Trump’s own diminishing power that may end in a midterm defeat as humiliating as Orbán’s. Trump, despite his bluster, looks smaller and more isolated than ever"

Too much? 😈

The depth of the Republican betrayal of the American people is that even as the GOP leadership sees the president becoming increasingly deranged and dangerous, they're still thinking only of their own petty, meaningless political careers.

Is that Jeffrey Epstein he's trying to resurrect 🤔

he got too excited at the UFC fight in miami and now he can’t sleep so he’s trying to fight the pope and posting AI slop of himself as jesus and a hotel on the moon. this rocks. i think the pope could beat him in single combat, let’s do it.

This piece by @benjaminjriley.bsky.social is outstanding. It takes on the AI rhetoric that too many are consuming and regurgitating.

Right before the markets open for the week. Like clockwork.

“All of Trump’s weaknesses as a negotiator are now on display: His refusal to comprehend the substance, his childish understanding of the nature of power, his inability to grasp the perspective of his opponents, and his belief that anything can be accomplished with sufficient threats and violence.”

There is one universal rule. Whenever Moscow is thrown out of a country, mass celebrations happen.

What’s next? Trump’s going to tell Killer Pete to bomb the Vatican? There’s a constitutional mechanism fur a president who cannot perform the duties of his office.

Now the Government is tabling an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill that would make senior executives personally liable for image-based abuse on their platforms. Those who fail to act could face imprisonment, a fine, or both. Until executives face real consequences, nothing changes. Join us:

Big tech bosses could face criminal charges if platforms fail to remove non-consensual intimate images, under new UK Government proposals. This is a vital step forward for platform accountability – and CCDH helped make it happen. 🧵

Honestly, the NYT is pure garbage. I find it shocking people still read it. At one point maybe you could justify the paper-of-record line, but now it’s just propaganda trash.

They gotta bothsides everything. Even a lunatic taking a shot at the Pope.

Trump: *Literally kills the Pope* America: 34% approval, 39% among conservative Catholics

The President of the USCCB's defense of Pope Leo against Trump's attacks on him and on our Church. It is the top item on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' website. www.usccb.org/news/2026/ar...

your tds wont let you even consider that donald trump is a god

(Trump attacks a ficus plant in the Oval Office, shouting that it is "weak on communism," wrestling it to the ground until he is covered in dirt, finally ripping out its leaves with his teeth) New York Times: "President Trump unveiled a bold new approach to environmental hazards this morning"

Remember the @pewresearch.org data on the decline in Israel's standing in the US published last week? We asked them for the crosstabs which they graciously shared with us, and we're publishing for the 1st time. Bottom line: total collapse of Israel's standing among young Americans across the board.

The Dem collapse is obvious. But these data suggest a deeper failed bet. Under Netanyahu, and following Ron Dermer's theory of the American electorate, Israel doubled down on white evangelicals and Republicans. Among the younger subsets of both groups, Israel is in the red now.

This sounds like an amazing idea that every state should get in on. Civic education literally FTW

Really does bear repeating—esp w such an egregious attack by Trump—that news media would have zero confusion with how to frame it if it were a Democratic president doing the attacking. Yet another example in a long list of them of how principleless & intellectually bankrupt much of this industry is.

So, again, using "pushes back" as the frame here is indicative of a news media that cannot conceive of this as being anything other than a political tit or tat when Leo *literally says* "I am not speaking to Trump, I am speaking to the Gospels." Is literacy too much to ask for from AP reporters?

"Vance" is a useful new verb in the English language, and one consistent with our Latinate heritage. Compare: ➡️ ADVANCE: To move something forward. ⬅️ VANCE: To cause a situation to decline or devolve. In a sentence: "Donald Trump's second term vanced the American economy."

If you’re a war criminal megalomaniac still waiting to line up behind Orbán, STAY IN LINE

CPAC will have to hold its next gathering in Moscow instead of Budapest.

Hopefully America can learn that when a fascist is on the ballot you can simply vote for the other person

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

JD Vance’s best option for ‘28 is to announce that actually, he meant to fail in every way possible, he was a double agent working to sink the Trump regime from within, he’s actually very cool he’s just really good at *pretending* to be a loser everyone hates, then get hired as a CNN commentator.

Really looking forward to JD Vance campaigning for Netanyahu later this year.

Imagine how good its gonna feel when its our turn to kick a fascist governments teeth in in a mere 6 and a half months
