Pete Hegseth thinks people will see him as General Patton from the movie, but I see him as Chris Farley from the SNL skit of a motivational speaker. "My name is Matt Foley, | am 35 years old, | am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river." #petehegseth #patton #snl

@heidilifeldman Yes. By forcing us to live in the degraded, ugly void of their violent stupidity. By smearing us in their nihilism.

There is one important lesson in self-preservation once one realizes that the fight against Republican fascism is so personal. I face it like any other foe who has sought to destroy me. I feel wholly justified in using every ethical means at my disposal. I feel confident in my moral right to […]

Living with fascism is a constant assault on my dignity — not just human dignity but my own personal dignity. To maintain my own dignity, I must devote constant , major effort to fighting Republican Fascism. That’s oppressive. It robs me of time and energy to devote to other aims, ideals […]

Enjoy this old video clip that still cheers me up. NASCAR preacher prayer Songified by The Gregory Brothers.

In a 161-page ruling, Federal District Court Judge William Young finds that noncitizens in the US have the same First Amendment rights as citizens, and the State and DHS secretaries violated the law by arresting and deporting pro-Palestinian protesters […]

New: ICE has bought a tool that tracks the locations of hundreds of millions of phones globally, updates every single day. Usually harvested from apps and advertising www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

Just like the other Big Media payoff "settlements" to Trump in his string of bogus lawsuits, Google's millions are proof that he is a successful extortionist -- and that they are willing to pay bribes. Don't think otherwise. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/business/youtube-settle-trump-lawsuit

In the 2013 movie Elysium, set in 2154, the elites kept advanced healthcare, like a MEDBED, for themselves. I just rewatched it. It has brutal Homeland Security guards tazing '"illegals" & snatching a child from her mother who had healed her with a #Medbed […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

An advanced healing technology called a MedBed? That reminded me of Neill Blomkamp's 2013 movie Elysium, starring Matt Damon & Jodie Foster. In it the elites keep advanced health care for themselves. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1535108/?ref_=ttvg_ov_bk I […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

@spocko @USelaine So, the Indonesia sources claim that they've traced the Cesium-137 to a pile of scrap metal in a small town (Serang, West Java), but the Cesium-137 is spread around all over the town and authorities were (this week) trying to collect all the contamination and plant sunflowers […]

PORTLAND (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s latest use of the military against US citizens backfired spectacularly on Saturday after Federal troops arrived in Portland, Oregon and immediately formed indie bands. https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/federal-troops-arrive-in-portland This is […]

We know what Trump wants in #Portland & who he wants to be. He's not the Emperor. #ICE are like Stormtroopers, mask wearing incompetent lackeys we're meant to fear. @jimstewartson writes we don't have to fall for their illusion of an unstoppable force […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

What Trump wants in #portland from the military vs. what he will get. #uspol #ice #starwars

Trump is authorizing the troops to use "Full Force, if necessary" against the people in #portland because #epstein files. Will the military give him the show of force that he wants? Like his parade? #uspol #trump #ice

Nextar has now also folded and will start airing Kimmel again. Remember this next time they tell you we are powerless in the face of rising fascism. Companies capitulating to Trump need to feel heat. Keep it going. apnews.com/article/jimm...

Trump regime has disappeared billions of dollars of taxpayers' money -- not even Congress has been able to trace what it's being spent on, and who's getting the loot. Congress isn't barely trying -- Republicans are complicit and the Democrats are not just powerless but incompetent. Some […]

It's rare that I can actually scrape together enough brain to engage in the somewhat pointless effort that is calling my legislators (thankfully because I largely trust that they'll do the right thing for the issues I care about regardless), but because I ABSOLUTELY don't want them to cave on […]

I'm exhausted and I should sleep. But I'm also concerned that if I don't stay up two hours past my bedtime shitposting, we may not defeat fascism

It’s not just Facebook, it’s all social media & I hate it. Free speech is all well & good but it should come with responsibility but with the advent of so many billionaire owned platforms they’ve taken no responsibility. #auspol […]

This is a GREAT video about why farmers voted for Trump. It REALLY opened my eyes. It points out, with evidence, that the farmers of today KNEW what Trump was going to do (Trade war) & voted for him anyway. They expect free money. Also, they wanted cuts in environmental regulations, & got them […]

Is Disney is pulling a head fake by "reinstating" Kimmel show? With scores of Trump-ified affiliates still refusing to air it, Disney could announce soon that it can no longer afford to keep the program going. In other words, don't assume that Bob Iger has grown a spine […]

I just got my updated mRNA #covid & Flu shot. If my arm gets sore I'm going to take #tylenol! It's NOT GOING TO GIVE ME #autism! (If I get autism from Tylenol I hope it's "the good kind" that gives me super math powers so I can count cards at a casino. WIN WIN WIN.)

Trump's comments about autism, Tylenol and kids are INSANE.

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

All the feckless scheming by the Democrats isn't going to unseat the Orange Tyrant in the White House. It's going to take mass public demonstrations, extended work stoppages/strikes, govt shutdowns, and sustained and viral boycotts of companies that bent the knee for profit or because they have […]

The thing you learn by debating for a decade is that debate is a game, there are structural means of winning that game, but they are inescapably dependent on an audience since there is no neutral rhetorical plane upon which arguments can be validated, and therefore debate is fucking shitty and […]

Why should Donald a crook enjoy a three day posh visit to Windsor, including a ride in a carriage, etc etc. Something the tax-payer should know? Covering up for dear Andrew? He also went to Epstein Island. 😉
