fucking idiot hobbit. what do you mean you wish it hadn't happened. it's happening now. there's a bunch of fucking ringwraiths on the way. if i die because you want one more meal at home i will haunt you forever

From me: Chuck Schumer's legislative demands for DHS funding are so narrow they almost mirror what ICE/CBP have just announced in Minneapolis. Just as Republicans were conceding the need to negotiate, Democrats pre-negotiated themselves into mush. prospect.org/2026/01/29/c...

This is a scheduled pogrom

This just sounds like a leaderboard for wills stancil

Glenn Greenwald, who I do not support

It really is incredible that the average decent American is seemingly orders of magnitude more courageous than the people in public office who aspire to run the fucking country

He's coming back very strongly folks, they say he has a terrible swift sword

FALL OUT OF THE COCONUT TREE. WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING.

Telling the Japanese American guy that his grandpa should have gone back to Imperial Japan is such a fucking insult I'm not backing down

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

if you described this legal theory to a founding father they would simply have shot you

Yet another failure by SCP Antimemetics

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

Thank you TCW for this instant classic of Harper’s Letter sophistry, explaining that the categories "right" & "left" are unhelpful in understanding a campaign of kidnappings & assassinations undertaken by an ultra-right wing secret police force at the behest of an ultra-right wing political regime

At last we have elected the king from the constitution, No Kings.

There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.

A guy uploaded child porn and not only faced no legal liability, he had his account personally reinstated by Elon Musk

FT with another banger

Fascinated by the RW alternate universe where their crude isn't trash, WTI isn't trading at $57/barrel, outflows of refugees will reverse as the security situation deteriorates and Machado will somehow build the only country that doesn't trade with China

They didn't admit shit - this is a response to a prompt for Grok to write such an apology. One aspect of AI induced risk is the fact that having a random number generator is going to speak for you officially is kind of bad

"How dare the USG not adopt the position that America Bad" is, I think, kind of a hallmark of immature anarcho-nihilistic "leftism," and that's the real problem with the essay, I think. The politics are bad! Very simple.

People very much DO choose to buy homes in fire prone areas. They should have to pay the financial cost of insuring those homes against fire. Forcing people who live in South LA to pay higher home insurance premiums to subsidize mansion owners in Malibu and the Hollywood Hills is deeply regressive.

As Republicans at the time complained of being reduced to little more than the accountants of the New Deal, so then do 80s-brained politicos imagine Democrats as the compliance department of the Reagan Revolution

And, not to be a hater but... If you hear someone saying cooling will be easier in space, you can instantly write them off as someone who has never read a single relevant book or paper and never talked to a single person with undergraduate level expertise. This is very basic.

Start making some fucking accusations

Part of why this stuff keeps getting underreported is that our media class can’t get it through their thick heads that this is not a weightless debate over political ideology, but a declaration of war on over 100 million Americans, which DHS is announcing an intent to eliminate

You know who hasn’t cowered in the face of terrible violence and changed what they believe? Minnesota Democrats, who saw one of their own actually get gunned down by a pro-Trump lunatic. These people are cowards.

I don't even have much to say. This was a good vessel, the USN panicked at the slightest hint of delays and now is killing the program. There has not been a single vessel in US Navy service that hasn't been redesigned, delayed, and had some cost overruns in the last 60~ years.

This is the stupidest and most self-destructive USN procurement decision in at least a decade. Constellation was a relatively healthy program and progressing on a realistic budget and schedule, mostly baseless criticism of it notwithstanding.

oh look, Google is once again returning factually inaccurate data because it’s very important to them to use Daddy’s preferred terms

"In democracy, you have to be a player "

Elon Musk's relationship with Grok reminds me of that episode of Spongebob where Spongebob didn't want to make Plankton a krabby patty so Plankton put Spongebob's brain into a robot and the robot wouldn't make him a krabby patty either.

right, precisely. i'm the ox you can't gore. there are things which i would be upset if you did but none of them are absolutely core to my identity, whereas Black people are dealing with problems such as "will there be any Black people in Congress once Roberts is done destroying Reconstruction."

Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh). Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times." The fuck kind of country are we living in?

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

honestly it's been 374 years and no one has said it better than "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short"

i think that it is critically important to retaliate.
