That doesn’t surprise me.

This will be a good one lmao

the monarchy should be abolished, etc., etc., but the king of england being like “nope, fuck that guy, you can take him” about his own brother is kind of wild to watch

constantly doing this shit as your popularity is in freefall even amongst your own supporters is how we are gonna end up doing the first american damnatio memoriae to the entire trump bloodline

The Press Secretary confirms: Donald Trump posted the racist video of the Obamas.

Republican politicians are all some flavor of ontologically evil but this is especially striking

Extremists ping ponging between ideologies you say? Never been attempted before you say?

what in the

The buried lede here is that the woman he had an affair with committed suicide through self immolation

Many of you.

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

hm

"The Batman" (2022) because someone finally did the character right

Force Awakens, because I immediately understood the dream of new Star Wars was dead, at least in movie form lol

I smile at the young man being held by the Community Circle as I set down the butcher block and my hatchet and begin to explain the anticarceral origins of what's about to happen to his left hand.

This is pretty terrible and we need to burn Musk's website to the ground of course, but it's also important to note that even among X users Trump's approval rating is only barely above water. They turn on a fire hose of MAGA disinformation 24/7 in this place and he's still only +9

I once knew a guy who would always obnoxiously bug you to have political conversations with him, like he really had interesting ideas to share. Whenever you sat down and tried to talk though, he'd always just idly mumble the same 5 half formed brain farts over and over, and always detail free!

I love the old "post something stupid and then post a mumbled followup that only a tenth of the people who saw the original post will see so you can say technically you weren't being stupid at all" trick

Why did I not know Netflix was doing a live action Scooby Doo series wtf

Olivia Nuzzi

Expert scientific research being conducted here

This is your warning sign to never take Mark Joseph Stern seriously again, the brainworms finally got him, if they hadn't already

Put down the pipe. This doesn't merit much more.

The first presidential election in American history where both major party candidates are tied at zero electoral votes each

Most Cursed Ticket, go: Ocasio-Cortez/Markey

I’m just going to leave this here

"Change" is an odd word to use here. Resistance liberalism cannot change the Democratic party because resistance liberalism *is* the Democratic party. That's like saying Grateful Dead fans want to change the Hippie movement.

Oh they've reconciled it, they just plainly want lower stakes for white voters again

"Every election can't be a life-or-death one. The public cannot sustain this." Begging some of y'all to sit down & reconcile yourselves to the fact that has been the status quo for non-white voters since the Civil Rights Act passed 60 years ago (and is increasingly shared by the queer community).

They repeatedly did this with Biden too but have for a decade gone out of their way to actively clean up Trumps speech to make him seem more coherent than he is. They do this bc they like and are deferential Trump while they see their jobs as being antagonistic to Democrats

like I get we all know that Athens out lasted Sparta and like... today many thousands of years later you can visit Athens' marble, like Athens' thoughts on what the world should be like still matter Sparta is only remembered because the Athenians had something say about them.

Couple years ago on Twitter before I deleted my account I remember there was a whole discourse about "drug twitter" people who claimed to be all about harm reduction for users, spreading helpful info, etc. and if you accused them of romanticizing drug use it meant you just wanted all addicts to die.

Never use block lists btw

Somewhat real talk, the problem with "X is a human right" talk is that it logically leads to this expectation that someone is supposed to do D-Day, or at least the Cold War or Gulf War, to save you from X Deprivation and install a new constitution that permanently takes X out of contestation.

People pushing the theory that we're locked in a life or death struggle with Trumpism for the foreseeable future and it's hard to even conceive of what our victory would look like are in for a hilarious surprise the minute Trump shuffles off this mortal coil.

Trump and his cronies out of office and/or in prison. ICE and CBP disbanded or leashed so tightly it might as well be. Federal recognition of LGBTQ+ rights fully restored.

Not again, Steve....

Imagine, just imagine, putting this in terms of “delight.” You have a chance to cast a vote against the government terrorizing American cities and presiding over the needless deaths of millions and you need *delight*? Get the fuck out of here.

This is hilarious, but also it would be so much less insulting to just have it say, "sorry that type of interaction is prohibited with this model" or something, rather than having it write you an essay about how you're a loser.

Progress is inherently liberal.

Think of yourself as someone who is looking to give something -a vote- to a deserving politician. How will you determine which one to give it to? They might abuse the constitution! They might let people suffer and die! What are you doing to ensure that none of those things will happen?

I will crawl through broken glass to vote against a a Republican bc my life depends on it.

Capitalism is bad which is why I have modeled all of my participation in democracy on it.

Left-liberals and Democrats are organizing patrols to foil ICE while the Left sits at home and says that they're pre-emptively not voting in the midterms because Newsom will be the nominee in 2028 (which he will not) and performing ~opsec concerns~ for why they'll never protest.

chat is this good

Type of Guy (me) who dislikes Gavin Newsom and AOC equally for their asinine pandering to conservatives and reactionaries

There’s a threshold of economic misery above which cultural and racial resentment > economic pain. It’s just a smudge above starvation

"What if I did purely vibes-based rational-choice theory?" actual Marxists would put you into A Device, my brother, that's what
