The mendacious hypocrisy has reached physically painful levels

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

It is as if we all are watching moment by moment thinking that something is going to give, someone will stop this. Every headline, every notification continues to normalize the destruction. None of this is normal. They won't stop. They must be stopped.

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

That this has been a "banner year" for the millionaires and billionaires on Wall Street tells you everything you need to know about everything

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

The idea that the public sector is inefficient and wasteful, while the private sector is tight and spendthrift, is complete and utter bollocks. This nonsense notion has been ruination of the UK for the past 40 years.

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Mother earth finally developing a robust immune system to the disease that is the human race

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

"5% of migration is small boats but I think it covers about 95% of the coverage we hear about!" 👏

The orange turd hasn't followed law, order, rule, or decorum on most things - illegal EOs, strikes on Colombian boats, siccing the DoJ on political enemies, national guard, profiteering, circumventing Congress, all of it - so such a visceral, visual symbol of the USA's tangible decay hits hard

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting. I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him. Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

“As tech companies build data centers worldwide to advance artificial intelligence, vulnerable communities have been hit by blackouts & water shortages.” 10/20/25 (I’m out of gift articles this month unfortunately. ) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

But they want us to keep uploading our biometric data, passports, and full life's story into 3rd party software so we can listen to songs with the f word in them on Spotify

WAKE UP PEOPLE !!!

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

The entire administration is a bunch of basement dwelling turd trolls desperate to feel like manly men so they treat the world like it's a live action Call of Duty game with about as much regard for real lives as they have for NPCs

I wanna see this one in the next Oceans or Italian Job-style film

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

LICE 😂 Seattle, Washington No Kings

food stamps are gone come november 1, if the shutdown doesn't end. if you see people stealing food, no tf you didn't.

#NoKings Austin tagging in. Massive crowd at the Texas State Capitol despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s activation of the National Guard.

And yet somehow they've convinced the mouth breathers that small boats are the problem

From this Canadian, thanks to all involved in 'No Kings.' It isn't all about Pigmented Pinocchio, but rather that loathsome, self-entitled, stinking rich that think their billions will dictate the path for humanity & other biologics living on 🌎 'No Kings" is Pro Science, Pro Compassion, & Pro Earth.

Imagine thinking they ever cared about debt, fraud, waste, abuse, or anything of the sort. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

🇬🇧🔥Ironically, LONDON is kicking off #NoKingsDay 💪🏽

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

Always felt silly waxing poetic on a social media site, getting too personal, trying to communicate something profound. But these are batshit times, with social platforms as one of the few tools left to us plebs to speak out and organize. And I cannot, must not, stay silent. So, #NoKings🧵:

During a shutdown, Congress needs to be treated like a sequestered jury No one goes home until it gets resolved Basic hotel Basic meals $50 per day payment

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

Wait until we find out the 2024 election was rigged and none of this should have happened.

Scientific fun fact: the height and girth of each tech bro's statue design has a direct inverse correlation to the size of their peen

a Buddhist monk taking a solitude retreat on a remote mountain slope is less ignorantly oblivious to current events, the literal congressman job description, and the world in general than this sack of turds claims to be.

Reassuring to know this timeline is utterly the stupidest on both a federal and local level, appreciate them being thorough

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

One reason behind Western decline is that US capital gave up on investing in productive forces long ago. The current system is all about looting / grifting through financial engineering, rent extraction, and speculative bubbles. When the system rewards that, reversing it is near impossible.

Somehow this is the first I've ever heard of Opus Dei irl, always thought it was just some Bond/Mission Impossible-esque fictional org made up for The Davinci Code but yo this shit is WILD we really have been living in a facade all this time slate.com/life/2024/10...

We've reached a branch in this batshit timeline where Marjorie Twatface Green has started speaking reason so I can't keep up anymore

Can governors legally call up their own state's national guard to protect polling places on election day? They need to keep ICE and the Feds far away from people voting.

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer." JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you
