Woooooooow 🍌🍌🍌

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Saying this basically got Norm Ornstein from the American Enterprise Institute blacklisted on Sunday morning shows.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Right. If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

I still don’t understand how it could possibly be a violation of U.S. law for a foreign head of state to own or to conspire to own any type of gun in his own country.

Consent machine go whirr whirr whirr.

If anyone needs a break from the news, can recommend this extended photographic tour of how chefs, dietitians, commissary staff, and handlers keep the variety of animals at the Smithsonian's National Zoo well fed: wapo.st/4qWsavV [gift link]

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you

I cannot endorse the bootleg m&ms for homeschoolers

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Not the main thing ofc, but indicting a foreign head of state for conspiring to possess a machine gun is low key hilarious.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.

Well that was quick!

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

Meanwhile, DOJ is suing DC for our ban on semi-automatic weapons. 🙃

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Rubio bringing more Latin Americans to the US, skipping the standard visa and immigration process. Stephen Miller is furious.

I can’t believe the FIFA Peace Prize would be sullied like this

“The women voting solely on abortion make me crazy,” (Jennifer) Ziemba said. “I’d gladly give up my abortion rights and my daughter’s for my son not to have to go to war. We’ll have peace with Trump.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Look, we’re* not very smart. Once it starts we’ll fall in line. * White Americans

Coming up on nine years

he announced that he black bagged the sitting president of a foreign country on the same website where he posted an AI generated image of jb pritzker holding a mcdouble

At least that one involved blasting Motley Cruë!

You’d think the Pentagon would learn to order from their own cafeteria by now.🙄

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Feels like maybe the timeline could use this

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

The US invades a sovereign nation to force a regime change and a major news network reports it like this and it’s only January 3rd

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Man, what the fuck did I just wake up to?

“The only inappropriate material here involves Alf’s genitalia!”

who called it the site formerly known as twitter now awash in csam and not x-stein’s island

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

Psst, save the date for a live DC Beer Show podcast at Bluejacket, 01/28/26:

My favorite albums of 2025 include releases from Verity Den and Prostitute @w1nspear.bsky.social @muterecords.bsky.social

NEWS: The Trump administration has canceled the 50-year lease given to the National Links Trust to manage the D.C. golf courses at East Potomac Park, Rock Creek, and Langston. The group won the leases five years ago, and had started work renovating the Rock Creek course.

But we still have the National Guard all over DC, because we’re a colony.

Still occupied by the National Guard from multiple states: DC
