In Poland, we know how this ends.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Cops are great, as I learned from @gregdoucette.bsky.social

So glad we rebelled 250 years ago and are now ruled by laws not the whims of a mad ki-- oh wait. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

RFK Jr.: ‘Time In Hot Cars Helps Babies To Sweat Out Toxins’ https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-time-in-hot-cars-helps-babies-to-sweat-out-toxins/

In the end, it is not the lies of our enemies we will remember, but the downplaying, bothsidesing, whataboutism and gaslighting of our friends.

Wow.

A message to the IOC:

lol

Macbeth: SHIT

Taking responsibility for your actions is a tool of Western Imperialist hegemony

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN EMAIL: hii jfefrey Can I come to rape party w/a plusone this weekend

It seems people aren't listening to enough Gogol Bordello, which is a tragedy: Where is your friend now, officer? That sharp, good-looking lieutenant Who got vacation 'cause he shot my friend

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Wasn't getting shot supposed to change him? Oh well, maybe somebody else getting shot will. Or something.

It is a horrible thing but one of the *points* of non-violence is that state violence in response causes outrage to spread.

I’m so proud of the people in Minnesota turning out for each other. They represent the best of who we are and they’re standing up to the absolute worst among us.

"threatens to"? We're a ways beyond that, pal.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Yep. It's a technological change we don't know how to handle yet, and we (including me) don't fully appreciate how huge the effects of similar shifts have been.

"did you try to bribe the president of the united states by giving him your nobel peace prize so he will declare that you are in charge of venezuela after abducting its leader by military force" is just a thing that someone can be asked in an interview now and we all have to deal with that

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Ironic that our celebration of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence will be led by a mad king.

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.

What ever you think about today in Venezuela, this…………..👇 “How humiliating for Putin that what he can't accomplish in 4 years and at a loss of 1.3 million soldiers and $800 billion, the US just did in 3 hours..”

I don’t like that line at all. I would be strongly disinclined to support someone who said it. But it’s not like Mamdani’s opponents support individualism. Their slogan is “obey the dear leader, conform to conservatism, and send the garbage back where they came from.”

“Someday Trump and his immigration policies will be gone, but immigrants will still be here. So all of you protesting and trying to protect them and speaking out about sending them to torture camps: what if you are setting brown people’s expectations too high? Who’s going do deal with that, huh?”

A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.

Not sure it'll do any good, but I just changed this in my Google News settings.

"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

Noam Chomsky loves the taste of boot, as long as it's edgy and contrarian enough.

Didn't we already get enough American Cantos from that fascist lunatic Ezra Pound?

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

After 30 years of speaking Polish, I had to try and resurrect my Spanish last week to communicate with an uncle. Spent way too much time trying to remember different verbs for "to go" (on foot) vs "to go" (by a vehicle). And other fun stuff.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

The irony is that until 2014 Ukraine pretty much WAS a buffer zone between NATO and Russia. Support for NATO membership was well below 50%. Putin's strategic genius put an end to all that.

Which no doubt helped him build the sources that got him the scoop. Good reminder to hire veterans!

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

I'm sure it'll be fine. And anyway, if something goes wrong - well, we elected a businessman, somebody with experience in the private sector.

In fact the ride-or-die-for-Willis narrative — this bold and crusading charismatic leader is in the right and any criticisms of the things she does area a result of biased haters and Those People - stinks of Trumpism.

Been out for 30 years. The only two American ideals I have left are the First Amendment and ice in drinks.

Kasparov 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

The whole "man of peace" thing has a different ring if you read it in a Russian accent. Steve: Trump is a man of peace. Yuri <Borat voice>: Yes yes, he is peace man, I see tape from hotel, so beautiful girls, is nice!!!!!

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.
