The Supreme Court:

Obviously no liberal non-electeds are saying the public should disarm, but Harper also makes the fallacy of assuming the kind of internal strength needed for fighting against fascism is the willingness to kill for your cause when actually it's the much rarer willingness to die for it.

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

"the “free speech” grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech"

and i think the example of washington — whose peer, in this regard, is frederick douglass — is a reminder that artifice and performance are important parts of democratic society, and that the contempt for virtue signaling is corrosive. virtue is meant to be signaled!

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

Seems bad

Simply hire a bunch of 22yo kids into jobs of unclear legitimacy, put them in charge of DHS, fire all DHS employees, and fold DHS into idk the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It's all legal now. I don't want to hear this loser shit anymore after what they did to my friends.

Tiring how? Like, emotionally tiring? FFS, people have ground themselves to dust for even 10% of what we take for granted, miss me with 'tiring'

It is an ironic triumph of neoliberalism that a voter imagines themselves as a consumer selecting candidates rather than being in something of a struggle with 200 million other people with a need for friends and alliances

Meanwhile: I will remember that I'm not God's most very special baby boy, think that there are people far less safe than me, and vote accordingly.

There was a brief period of time when TYT appeared sane, compared to other SFV reactionaries like Jimmy Dore Reversion to the mean, innit

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

One thing we can all agree on is that not only are computers alive now, computers were ALWAYS alive

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Man Ray : 1916-17

I always got so annoyed when people would wish he'd return to "Mars Elon." None of the Mars stuff was true! He was saying stuff that was provably bullshit. The Mars stuff was a giant flaming "I'm a literal psychopath" sign.

During the 2024 election, Libertarians had to decide; prevent the guy who was going to levy profoundly unconstitutional taxes and use terror squads to illegally send Americans to prison camps, OR use his newfound fascination with crypto as a vehicle for corruption to secure the bag.

Whoa Black Betty

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Half a city block explodes in a ball of green flame.

This indifference or enthusiasm for sexual violence is a cultural pathology born of misogyny, not a peculiar or unique degeneracy of the rich. You know people who have responded to rape like that.

Every day that passes makes ever more clear how much Trump was the primary exacerbating factor in Covid

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they could.

this, to me, is art

Both Marvel and DC have popular ongoing story-lines about a guy who corrupts an entire universe, one is very smart, the other is terribly powerful, and in the real world it's this fucking schmuck

Similar effect to auto fatalities, the attention grabbing incidents where someone is killed or children are traumatized are the tip of an enormous iceberg of human brutality. A campaign of racial terror, initiated by the executive and shamefully co-signed by the court.

The Forest Gump of every shitty thing that has occurred in the 21st century

i have a license to open carry bofa

At first, this seems like the same hipster horseshit that has plagued leftism since the 60s, but you have to consider that the author is typing this from a jail cell with the phone she smuggled in

"new tone" was a totally imaginary story that the media invented to try to staunch the bleeding Trump was suffering this weekend and help move past what turned out to be a completely disastrous story for the administration

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

people are being driven mad by the impossibility of controlling lawlessness via the law and, simultaneously, the unwillingness of our leaders to set out to remedy lawlessness rather than carelessness.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

I mean ICE is getting funding: the Republican control Congress, and the BBB gave them a slush fund. The 2024 election means 2029 is the earliest ICE actually vanishes. Elections have consequences The job of Dems is to extract as many concessions as they can, which is what they appear to be doing

Imagine where things would be if an individual anywhere in this nation, but especially in LA, Chicago, or Minneapolis during the surges, had broken discipline & shot a federal agent. I can guarantee you we wouldn't be watching an administration in full retreat from an angry public.

They saw Trump fabricate crimes by Haitian people, thought that the gun was pointed far enough down the status hierarchy that they were insulated from having to see the results of their trade, and they pulled the trigger.

This is particularly funny, because this isn't even the first time warnings about Trump were dismissed--he was elected in 2016, and then suddenly people did a bunch of reporting they should have done prior to that election and found that, yes Trump was, in fact, deeply corrupt and hateful. Oopsies!

Thank God the video of the dog wearing fairy wings came out before AI

Repeal is the only solution

The same legal framework that created the DHS also provided for a means of positively identifying US citizens, AND YET we still find ourselves staring down the barrel of Wilhoit's Law...
