not an italian rap performance for world peace

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

If this is what triggers the military coup I will laugh so hard

imagine getting old school fragged in your tent from making the guys go to melania

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

fyi

That alone should be an impeachable offense

He doesn’t even try to hide the fact that whether people in a particular state get disaster relief from the federal government depends entirely on partisan politics.

I think in the future we should make it so politics is more than a choice between fascism and 100 slight variations of this person

Update: They succeeded: www.mississippifreepress.org/byhalia-ice-...

I am escorting the Crespo-Gonzalez family, including their seven year old daughter, back to Oregon now. Out of respect for the family, additional information is not being shared at this time.

Every news story about JD Vance is about him being a shitsucking lamprey or just kind of bumbling around and getting in the way like Mr. Bean

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post. Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?" Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake." He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

once again we must face the uncomfortable reality that between politics and being the only remaining reliable source for Google, Reddit is the best forum on the internet

bring back shame

Here is the video of Hakeem Jeffries saying "fuck Donald Trump" for posting that racist video of the Obamas. (originally from his official Instagram account) www.instagram.com/reel/DUbeoy5...

On this day in 1992, George H.W. Bush sent a memo to all White House staff about how fat his dog was

I will be needing one of these

we’re not doing this under Woke 2 sorry not sorry

most recent email i have received is a guy who told me i should be lynched. looked him up and he is a 68/69-year-old retiree in phoenix who doesn't appear to be married or have children. his facebook page is nothing but reposted memes and AI slop and he used to post a lot on gun forums

BREAKING NEWS: ELON MUSK TO FOCUS ON MARSHMALLOW FARM INSTEAD OF GUMDROP CITY www.wsj.com/science/spac...

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

This is evil

probably because the name of the country is The United States of America

saw da good year blimp read the room buddy

All of this. And if you think that post was NBD, or you're just inured to it at this point, you're showing us who you are.

winter olympics need some snowmobile bullshit

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

The Italian audience's ability to rapidly switch from cheering for the American team's entrance to booing JD Vance is honestly pretty impressive. Turned on a dime, and again the moment Vance was off screen

“.. at some point, you have to ask: How much is too much? At what point is a line finally crossed? .. At what point are you no longer supporting your country, but supporting one man, and all of the ugliness he brings to the table?” @goodyk.bsky.social www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

So JD Vance definitely got booed just then right lol

The Offspring had a song about this

It was inflation, and to a lesser extent the party never fully got behind her. I know a more younger people than usual voted for Trump but that was because they were TikTok addled chuds mad about lockdowns, not disappointed leftists!

the Obamas are by a wide margin the most popular political figures in the country and the video is so bad major newspapers are flat out calling it "racist" rather than "racially charged" their only move with anything is to double down so by all means let them double down on this

Doing art badly is good and sacred

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Jeff Tiedrich has been keeping score:

uh oh you guys, susan collins is appalled

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

So much profound harm has been done by the inane, ultra-popular notion that talent is innate, fixed, and semi-mystical

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

The Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia goes so hard for being 86 years old.

I think that if you own a business in an urban area you should be fined if you don’t shovel your sidewalk

"talent is a gatekeeping mechanism" is an Instant Classic, obviously, but there's something under the hood of that thread that rings true. We're all, thanks to mass media, very used to seeing the best possible versions of everything we might do, and that really can be discouraging.

I think that this sequence might be the single most pointlessly sadistic government action of my lifetime

Running focus grouped or poll tested language doesn't work and this is a major reason why. Know your values, frame the debate bsky.app/profile/rick...
