trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

The failure to reckon with this balance is a big part of what led to our current predicament. "Free speech is when the left shuts up" is a core tenet of public discourse.

I think I figured out the problem. Most people think a LLM is JARVIS which was a thinking artificial intelligence and not a word guesser chatbot like ChatGPT

at this point it's like we don't *have* a congress. vestigial-ass branch of government, utterly supine, an embarrassment

is this good

The fascists have assessed that they have nothing to worry about from National Democratic elected politicians. In fact, if they were ever to retake nominal power, many of them will do what they can to destroy their own voters who insist on action against the fascists.

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

jimmy kimmel was the moderate compromise

i think the capacity debate around authoritarianism really underscores how defund the police was fundamentally correct. the biggest lurking danger in america right now is the mass federalization of local LEO like they’re trying to do in florida

only the right wing is allowed to attack its opponents in any way and on any terms they see fit and simultaneously only the right wing is allowed to claim victimhood

Ezra went from we must fight them on the beaches to sure thing have the Sudetenland in one week. all it took was someone of his social class being murdered.

This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.

it rocks that like 90% of this country cannot comprehend that this mathematically means that everyone else got $1.2 trillion poorer in the last year

A crucial thing to understand about America is that its entire economy is propped up by scams

Guys it's ok. He only called for violence against gays and trans people and declared the Civil Rights Act a mistake for the money and power.

Ezra Klein column: Democrats must stand UP to fascism… Two days later: …by honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy 💔

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

BRAZIL SUPREME COURT PANEL SENTENCES FORMER PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO TO 27 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS IN PRISON IN COUP PLOT TRIAL

"The left are the bloodthirsty ones, and we finally have a reason to kill them all."

He said gay people should be stoned.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

“Don’t you feel bad for his kids at least” No I don’t. Especially not his daughter. Who he repeatedly said shouldn’t be able to have an abortion even if she was raped

trump just now in an address to the nation on charlie kirk says they’re going to try to start cracking down on leftist groups and individuals who might be stoking “violence”. not great!

Don't be surprised if whoever killed Charlie Kirk has no coherent political ideology, didn't do it for any particular reason, and doesn’t fall anywhere neat on the left/right paradigm.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Political violence has had its global center in the United States. Saying it has no place here is just fucking stupid and ahistorical. A lie. It just usually happens to one class around the globe.

i think there will be a lot of bluster but is this really gonna make the trajectory of politics any worse, as many seem to be thinking? trump is already a true believer in a fascist police state, and his catalyst for action has primarily been his reaction to revelations of his own criminality.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

as always i encourage u all not to post things that may attract the attention of an authoritarian secret police with unlimited power to surveil american citizens at this time

please familiarize yourself with this whole website thank you kindly

the most controversial statement you can make in this world right now is that it’s bad that israel is committing a genocide

It's incredibly weird that folks have convinced themselves that the Covid vaccines - which had an ~82^% take up rate - were unpopular.
