Lmao. So, let me get this straight. Antifa infiltrated J6, committed violence, and then he…pardoned them? Make it make sense.

Jesus Fucking Christ

Kristi Noem is in Portland today. She should see the real Portland—a city that’s peaceful and filled with people who care for one another. Instead of feeding Trump’s political theater, she needs to rein in the federal agents brutalizing peaceful protesters.

This is the correct. Trump is going to keep trying to incite violence regardless of Portland’s response, and each time he does, he will look more foolish and desperate. Don’t give him what he wants. Forcing him to escalate to prove his bullshit narrative is the best currently available strategy.

Thanks, New Yorker

Yes, stop with the conspiracy hypotheses. We can and should do better. Fire Chief says no evidence of arson has yet been found. Even if he’s lying and a right-wing crank burned down the house, what does that information get you? Conservatives won’t even know about it, let alone believe it.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Well, Trump wasn’t able to send the National Guard to incite violence in Portland, so I guess he’s going to let Deadwood Barbie give it a try. Don’t take the bait, Portland. Let’s welcome her and be friendly (even if you have to clench your teeth to do it). Let her see that there’s nothing to see.

If a bunch of elderly folks playing ukuleles isn’t a declaration of war, then I don’t know what is.

Same. Heavy rotation.

The Portland Police Bureau is controlled by Antifa! This has to be some of the funniest shit I have *ever* seen. They’re launching a “full investigation.” Into PPB! 💀

Yup. The filibuster is both anti-democratic and anti-Democratic. It’s an albatross that we’ve worn around our necks for far too long, and it has cost us far too much (specifically, thinking about the lost public option. Rest in Piss, Lieberman). Nuke it into the sun, Republicans.

A good reminder that Rene Gonzales still sucks shit.

My queen.

Yes, 1,000 times yes.

Who could have predicted that SCOTUS would allow Trump to fire any protected federal employee he wants as long as doing so doesn’t affect SCOTUS’s investments? (Other than everyone.) But as soon as a sacking might lower John Roberts’s bottom line…

Just dropped my daughter off at ballet class, so figured I’d give an update on the current situation outside of the ICE building in portland, which is 2 blocks away. There are currently more reporters talking into cameras than actual protesters. Lmao. Send in the troops!

I also hope we don’t forget all the local folks who’ve spent years spreading the “portland is a hellhole” narrative to gain short-term political power and/or social media clout. They provided ammo to the Trump machine. They fed the false narrative and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

A total about-face by Metro Chamber and allies, trying to repeal the portrait of Portland crime they drew up during the post-COVID years, when it seemed politically advantageous. Now, the crime narratives are “outdated,” because the people who constructed them decided so. Sleight of hand.

My 8-year-old daughter attends ballet 2 blocks from Portland’s ICE building. Until yesterday, the company had never sent any coms about safety. There was no need. But yesterday we received this. Trump’s National Guard deployment is making Portland LESS SAFE.

This thread is so fucking funny.

RIP to IRL Perfidia Beverly Hills

We seem to be rapidly approaching—or even surpassed—the point where the the AI bubble has reached such a size that its (inevitable, it would seem) collapse will drag the entire world economy into the toilet, a la the 2008 subprime mortgage collapse. Rocky times ahead, to say the least.

Portland will be his Waterloo.

Hold up. So this guy with type 1 diabetes says that he voted, not so much for Trump, but *against* Harris. The same Harris who answered about 70% of questions with some form of, “I helped bring the cost of insulin down to $35”? I just don’t know what you do with that kind of stupid.

If there is any true “both sides” issue, it’s both parties’ (and pretty much all political factions’) utter failure to think through the full consequences of their policies.

I saw GWAR in the late 90s (3 times!), and they had Monica Lewinsky give birth to an alien baby and then Oderus jacked off on the baby and jizz and birthing fluids sprayed all over the crowd. It was truly awesome. What were we talking about again?

Too much liquid! Stop hydrating the babies! We are turning the babies into Jell-O pudding.

I know a fae trap when I see one

If you’d have told me in 2003 that Bill Kristol would be posting things like this in 2025, I’d have recommended that you be committed to an institution. Incredible.

shit sucks, but listen: google "{your state} cheese guild" and you will likely find a site with a list of creameries selling artisan #cheese and you could go visit one and buy nice cheese, and support a small business, plus you might meet some adorable ruminants too

🧵 This is a perfect summary of my own beliefs about justice. In my utopia, the Eighth Amendment specifically defines “cruel” punishment so that the death penalty is prohibited, but also eliminates “unusual” punishment. Let the punishments get weird to fit the crimes!

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

wild that MP3 is an audio file, MP4 is a video file, but MP5 is a submachine gun. Digimon-ass evolution line.

Kevin O’Connell said he told J.J. McCarthy at halftime, “You are going to bring us back to win this game. “The look in his eye was just fantastic,” O’Connell said.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Just straight up Kafkaesque “reasoning.”

Chief Justice Roberts (2007): “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” Justice Kavanaugh (2025): ethnicity “can be a 'relevant factor' when considered along with other salient factors” in immigration stops.

That is quite the Venn diagram of horribles from @asharangappa.bsky.social. Great distillation of MAGA in 2025. open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Sometimes you're looking through old sci fi novel covers, and you have to share one.

Still one of the greatest American roadside attractions.

Hey, what’s a profession that a country with an aging population and plummeting birth rate is desperately going to need over the next few decades? We are so fucking dumb.
