In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

fancy auto complete via linear algebra is not a person

hegseth is literally all of the worst traits of everyone from the romefeller foundation. Treize. Dermail. Tuberov. Dorothy. like, how are you too on the nose for fucking Gundam Wing?

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

well hey look at that israel is actively running a surveillance campaign in college classrooms

He's the literal Democratic Party nominee. He is on the ballot on the Democratic Party's line. He earned his place there fair and square. And a party that refuses to endorse its own nominees is a party of feckless fools that is going to keep losing elections out of sheer asshattery.

"please mr fascist sir, honor ur agreements" do you realize what a groveling mark you sound like? of course he's gonna backstab you! say that!

pedocon is a theory the way gravity is a theory

the median American position on trans healthcare for minors is "i think it's kinda weird but fuck me if i think the government should ban it" and it's been that way for awhile

I'm going to be kind and actually give an actual answer: "tankie" doesn't come from being "in the tank" for the USSR but from supporting literal USSR/Warsaw tanks rolling into Eastern Europe to quell uprisings in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Whewwww

this is the latest version of "i'll follow the law" weasel consultant speak.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

in contrast, having been raised a catholic this is the impression I've always gotten from white protestants

"please mr fascist cult leader sir, sit down and negotiate law that you will ignore with us"

At this rate Ezra is about a month away from suggesting that Democrats become Republicans, because we won't have crackdowns on opposition parties if none of them exist

Murphy is a snake who is saying better things because he wants Schumer's job.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

🧵 If anyone is claiming the Kirk resolution is about political violence, here are some snippets of the actual text: "Whereas Charles ‘‘Charlie’’ James Kirk, born October 14, 1993, was a courageous American patriot" 1/6

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Just the paramilitary secret police manhandling an opposition political candidate.

Republicans are a scourge on humanity.

the NYT clearly has a degradation fetish and this is the horniest they have ever been

unless a good number of incumbent dems lose their primaries a 40 seat gain would cause such a perverse incentive structure: "actually if you just focus group slop a non-resistance to a fascist takeover that gives you a record low approval rating you can take the house by merely existing"

most americans entire conception of "how to do politics" was formed under a system where you pick Liberal party one or Liberal party two.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

we are the stupidest combination of post-soviet russia and ceausescu's romania right now

Remember when the hot debate was about what a slippery slope we’d create if Simon & Schuster cancelled one Nazi’s book deal?

hey chuck this is literally the second time this has happened in a couple months we kinda are this country right now maybe you could do something about it thanks -the baileys

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

"real popularism has never been tried"

can we stop reskeeting mr "i wrote a book on expertise that applies to everyone but me because i am a birthday boy but don't call me a birthday boy ur a birthday boy my gawd Reagan is soooo sexy" on the timeline?

What the Debate Me bros have done is found a way to filibuster the self-evident humanity of a person or group by making it an endless topic of debate. As Toni said: "None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing." It's not my job to prove my equality to those who think me inferior

If we just throw some trans kids at it, the dragon won't eat us

kinda assumes Democrats actually want to appeal to minority groups. Largely they don't. They pay millions of dollars to justify appealing to voters they would rather represent.

The US Justice Department appears to have removed from its website a study into political violence in America by the National Institute of Justice, the Justice Department’s research agency, which concluded that far-right extremism outpaced “all other types of domestic violent extremism”.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

Democrats have this really weird tendency to think wonky technical tax patches in huge systems are what people want in the year of our Lord 2025, when what people ACTUALLY want is something on the scale of The New Deal stapled to Second Reconstruction with Nuremberg 2.0 as a dessert.

i see billy stencils is back on his bullshit again

All because dem donors were going insane because their kids were deciding genocide was bad

In an "olive branch" Streeting defended everything he did to strip healthcare from young trans people as right and justified and said absolutely nothing about any way he'd move away from that targeted campaign to eradicate trans people. Come ON @theguardian.com. This is atrocious.

The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated. Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

omg ur not afraid of kash patel? should we tell the networks? should we plan a book tour? should we invite james carville

as a political nerd I find the idea of dog-separatism both fascinating and hilarious

So like how are y'all dealing with the fear?

insofar as you can lump “dem leadership” into a single group, i think a lot of dems, mostly in the senate, are not just underestimating the fury of the base, but they’re also underestimating the likelihood that failing to harness that fury means *someone* will, and they may not like the results

republicans: there shall be democrat blood running in the streets Democrats: We look forward to cutting through the distractions and working with Republicans in a bipartisan manner to fund the healthcare that Americans will inevitably need under these dire and concerning circumstances.

over-under on how many national level dems respond to this with the appropriate level of fiery condemnation? i'm thinking two and i'm pretty sure that's being optimistic
