This is just about setting the defaults so that ‘high value’ / high profile users and corporations don’t see people yelling at them for being shit.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Hard agree

The Republican plan for healthcare? Not have one. If you appeal a court order directing you to feel hungry children as directed by the law, you don't care about your citizens' health.

I hate to be overly judgmental, but I am skeptical a "time out" is gonna fix what's wrong with someone who posts things like this.

"the exact moment when not knowing became impossible." This line, used twice in the article, is also relevant to a certain Maine Senate candidate.

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

I don't actually think JD Vance believes his wife is going to hell because I don't think he actually believes anything

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

it's the unitary executive, the tribune of the people, the all-powerful sovereign, the sun and the moon. it can bomb fishermen and deport citizens. but it cannot, it turns out, free up money to pay for SNAP—there are laws, after all.

Platner taking his campaign in a “they’re trying to get me” direction after the tattoo is a flashing, Fetterman-shaped warning light for what he could be like if elected, and I think it’s enlightening to see who can see that and who can’t because he’s “upsetting the right people”.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

The culture war is over, and they lost. Long ago. Using the White House to force their narrow, frightened vision on a country that’s moved on doesn’t show strength, it exposes weakness. They’re fighting yesterday’s battle because they can’t win tomorrow’s. We have the power & they know it

The F__ing Turing Test LOL. Turing would call him a dumb ass.

Capitalism

Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

it is not a litmus test, but my gauge for 2028 quality is how hard the candidate pushes no quarter

The White House exists as a tourist destination for a reason.

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

Everything else aside, a primary is by definition not a unified front

4chan ass government

Known Phases for Millennial American Men 1) John Woo 2) Home brewing 3) Wu-Tang vinyl collection 4) Quentin Tarantino 5) Crossfit 6) Fantasy basketball leagues 7) Lone Wolf and Cub 8) Spaghetti westerns 9) Three-wheel vehicles 10) Knives Not a Phase: 1) Pedophilia 2) The Klan 3) The Nazi Party

Nope, its EXACTLY who we knew would.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?

I am thinking that the inflatable penis factory should expect a sudden influx of orders.

You can’t base your life on the expression of hatred and spite unless you have someone to receive your hatred and spite. Hating into a void is very unsatisfactory.

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

“Young Republicans are all Nazis” is the kind of claim that would get you in a lot of hot water as a pundit but also allow you to fit in great in a Young Republican group chat.

What is insane is waiting until we are living in 1938 Berlin before allowing people to call it fascism without being subjected to your scolding.

Trump is guilty of murder, and the United States will be without honor until he is tried for it.

it wasn’t even fear - it was just a clear standard.

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

🚨The Russian asset in the White House & his regime just visually catalogued every single flag officer in our military, and televised it across the globe. If that does not raise massive alarm bells for you, then you are woefully fucking stupid.

So considering he reposted that AI medbed thing last night there's a nonzero chance his own advisors have been showing him AI Fox News clips in the oval office and he thinks they're real

"Agents chased down a man and asked him for his papers." This being an accurate description of a thing that happened in this country, and knowing similar incidents are happening everyday, and all over, would have been hard for me to imagine 10 years ago.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

The Republicans in Congress should be aware, right now everyone is calling them the Trump tariffs, but by this time next year everyone is going to be calling them the GOP tariffs.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

JD Vance would conduct his entire presidency from the cab of an extended bed F-150 with RayBans on except that he has weak ears and doesn't know how to drive a truck

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

They abandoned the whole free speech thing as soon as people started saying things that genuinely offended them. It wasn’t that they were so tolerant that they accepted nazi talk as a necessary evil to protect speech writ large, they just liked saying and hearing slurs bsky.app/profile/jame...

Bonhoeffer called this "cheap grace."

Everything is transactional for these people.

We need an opposition party, not enablers.

Here we have one cabinet member publicly denouncing the actions of another cabinet member , and the will of the POTUS, as "dangerous for government." I would hope the gravity of this situation is not lost on the media, but it probably will be.

I swear that vote should follow Hailey Stevens to every campaign stop she makes running for the empty MI senate seat. Hope El-Sayed and/or McMorrow bring it up, if they get a chance to debate her.

If you are a "premature anti-fascist," you make Serious People look bad, and so you can't be trusted.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
