i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

this kind of knocking everything down because you won one election is really troubling. that's our information, our data, our institutions, and you're a temporary caretaker. you shouldn't be able to just raze what came before, even if you want to go in another direction. shit is really broken

tell me again how great capitalism is and how socialists are unrealistic babies for saying it must be destroyed 👍

“No thank you, I don’t believe in any of that”

It's fucking crazy to me that Keith Olbermann is out here posting about Olivia Nuzzi like "haha funny thing, I used to date her, it's crazy" as if this current shitshow has nothing to do with him. Here's Nuzzi in 2013 glazing Olbermann in writing while dating him www.huffpost.com/entry/msnbc-...

Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking: * Doesn’t this level of ignorance disqualify you as speaker? * Do you really think we are so dumb to believe you? * Do you think it is appropriate to insult the voters like this?

the last taboo that is left is being able to say what you are able to see with your own two eyes: "the people who rule us are insane"

BREAKING: conservative thoughtleaders at FRAGMENTS have received three more examples of recent discriminatory 0s given to Christians at universities in Oklahoma. We call upon Turningpoint USA and Governor Stitt to take action NOW! Full essays in link in replies.

I understand that arguing about if the paper should have gotten a 0 is an is a reasonable topic in a vacuum but since it's not a vacuum, it's kind of like if a guy kidnapped people to play Smash at his house and shot everyone that lost and we dissect the video and argue about if he used cheats

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

I'm truly disappointed that people are engaging with this without taking into account that this is an op.

i wish there were a more recent pic of ellen pointing a gun. i would use it in the group chat all the time

Louis CK has never fully acknowledged his misconduct, and has misrepresented it multiple times—including in his initial apology. In so doing, he has continued to do harm to his victims. Fuck that. Fuck him.

Still wild to me that companies got together and lied about a mass shoplifting epidemic and fundamentally changed things in all stores so that it’s worse for everyone, and then we found out they lied, and no one fucking did anything about it, and this is just life now

Part of ensuring that we don't collectively bury it is not buying into the nihilism of simply conceding that we will now. If accountability happens it will happen because the public demanded it from who the elect afterwards, and demand they promise to deliver on it

Hey so as someone who has a degree in global politics and spent a significant amount of time studying international law — this is a textbook example of a war crime.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

people pirate most stuff when they're broke as shit and buy all they can when they're not, except for all the shit you can't see without piracy 'cause no one sells it. people pay when they have the cash and, increasingly, they have no cash. blame The End Of Mass Prosperity In The Imperial Core.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Text: u r the curch, i am the steeple, open the doors (leg) and make love 2 all the ppl. who r all u. Olivia Nuzzi: I happen to think the worm’s presence in his brain is more additive than subtractive.

I’m gonna implore everyone here to take the W if only to experience the feeling again.

An epic act of art and activism

I've said it before but in parenting I sort of faintly feel like the upside down version of one of those Quiverful types right now. I am essentially preparing my children to do moral battle in a world run by a manifestly evil elite and it is not a great feeling

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

If Shake & Steak is RFK Jr and McDonalds is Trump, Arby’s should strike and be like ok we’re just for gay people now. Arby’s gay as hell. If you’re straight they throw brisket at you as soon as you walk through the door. Corner your market.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Curmudgeonly compaint to ignore: Even as I recognize its necessity, I don't like "we're going to win" rhetoric. I think it implies "norms" can be restored, that there'll come a day when this is "over"--vs. a long struggle in which there're victories but no final victory, because this isn't a movie.

it's funny how the initialism "DEI" gets deployed to obscure its own meaning, by framing it like a policy, like ACA, or an agency, like DHS. if you write "efforts to erase diversity" instead of "efforts to erase DEI," you're describing what Trump is doing much more clearly and truthfully!

you definitely know a Dad (laudatory, gender neutral, may not have children) with a 3D printer who is extremely excited about making several thousand whistles for justice

Corps should have to fight tooth and nail yearly to justify their charter being renewed and to prove they aren’t engaging in criminal or unethical conduct. having a corporation recognized by the state is a privilege to be earned rather than an absolute right individuals have to bypass liability

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

“The laws and constitution of the United States should be enforced as written and without undue prejudice or favor.”

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

i don't want to hear about your feelings. i want to know what you are doing to punish the fuckers who sold us out

The ideas underlying socialism are hardly toxic. Inclusion, community, compassion, opportunity, effective governance are all fundamental, widely embraced. The term socialism itself has been cynically stigmatized. But with a little good sense, we can move past that and focus on values & results.

The thing about rationing healthcare that is unlike rationing most other things is that the people who need healthcare didn't choose to need healthcare and do not get a choice in how they can economize, or not, on healthcare

The greatest thing Twitter and Bluesky do every day is show us that the power who control our lives aren't a cold-calculating monolith but a bunch of squabbling morons.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment: It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

I'm becoming convinced that most emergent problems in the US and other wealthy democracies stem from extreme decadence in the face unlimited plenty and security. The rich are bored, lawyers play word games all day, the average American has no idea how anything works. We're destroying ourselves.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

As a young white man who grew up middle class (son of a public school teacher) and was very online ASAP and played sports, I was never Nazi-curious nor was anyone I know None of this is “normal.” Shut up

Serving in the government as a representative is a privilege, not a right. Somewhere, we lowered the bar to ”not convicted of any crimes, even if everyone knows you did it.” There’s lots of ppl in the US. If we cant find one w/o a swastika tattoo to represent us, we’re in trouble.
