Of course. Now that they've set this as the baseline (at least in many minds), they'll push for more.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Cheeseburger-eating surrender monkeys 🇺🇸🍔🐒 Call it what it is: betrayal.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Falling debris, no doubt

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

This kid is fantastic.

Humbled, honored, and very proud to announce that I have won the new but, I assure you, very prestigious Flamin Hot Cheetos Prize for American Letters Sponsored by Frito-Lay

Periodic reminder that "Abolish ICE" is the moderate position

A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

Just scrolling through the news today makes my heart hurt. Death, death, death. All different cities, villages, all the same death. They keep murdering innocent people, over and over again. This brave old lady killed with her little goats. Just for existing. It hurts so much.

a fun thing to consider is that China, and probably Russia, almost certainly have the ability to post from the president's Truth Social account. they just know that they only get to use that *once*.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

The "it's a republic not a democracy" crowd is really leaning into "he won an election so he can't be doing anything wrong."

This is the kind of both-sidesism I can get behind: they're all idiots!

Kobylarczyk? Man, looks like the Poles aren't sending their best. As a Polish citizen, I apologize.

Dear @en.rfi.fr journalists, I think it's safe to skip the "alleged" in a story about how HE'S REPORTING TO PRISON. Come on.

The folks in frog costumes seem to be learning from the Orange Alternative in 1980s Poland, whose founder once said: "Can you treat a police officer seriously when he is asking you the question: 'Why did you participate in an illegal meeting of dwarfs?'" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_W...

First they came for the insufferable.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

/2 I mean what Chappelle is doing is like inviting Jared Fogle on your podcast to talk about parents being too strict

We have mums in Ukraine running Air Defence, some decorated by Zelensky himself. A few probably wouldn’t pass Hegseth’s ‘standards.’ Yet his army would be shredded by 19-year-old girls here who can drop Shaheds with the skill of a PlayStation controller. He’s stuck in the past.

I don't like court packing, it's not my preferred thing to do, I wouldn't do it for just about anything else, and I'd take other ways to get to the same result, but their presidential immunity diktat must be firmly established as anti-canon, null and void, bogus from the day it was issued.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.

Ah yes, who can forget Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus when God demanded “Saul, Saul, why don’t you persecute black people”?

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

And congratulations to Lyudmyla Yanukovych on her new gig writing talking points for Trump.

"The smalll space rock" @secondmentions.bsky.social

Not a great time to be an English teacher in Seoul with an iffy visa situation.

Try to live your life in such a way that when you die people don't have to be threatened and bullied into pretending they're sad about it.

Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked. If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I'll see you when ..

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

/7 SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, the entire academic and intellectual infrastructure that brought us here: they're nothing but pretentious Trumpers. At least the guy in the MAGA hat and "fuck your feelings" t-shirt is honest about who he is. These people are not.

I don't particularly care about him one way or the other.

I miss the old brand #CDC

Around the time of the 2017 inauguration I visited a church in London, where we sang: Give to the Lord of Lords renown The King of Kings with glory crown His mercies ever shall endure When lords and kings are known no more. It was a good reminder. I needed it. Here's another one.

In Trump America, Kennedy assassinates YOU.

Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.

The famous negotiating mission flown by the Enola Gay.

The KGB was known for brutality and violence. If savagely beating a weak, addled old man was what it took to get what it needed, it would do that.

Warning: sarcasm ahead.

Taka bitwa jest u nas na Targówku jak rzucą balerony do rzeźnika, tyle że bab jest więcej, o.

Obviously, this falls far short of what’s needed and is unlikely to dissuade Putin from his current course. That being said, it’s a significant leap from “Zelensky is a dictator who needs to repay billions” to the US selling weapons to Europe for immediate battlefield relief in Ukraine
