it’s crazy that republicans have an entire media ecosystem where they can say shit like “gas prices are down” and feel like theyll get away with it

Trump: I’m not a king. Official White House account:

“Everybody needs to turn down the rhetoric.” -supporters of a guy who threatened to destroy an entire civilization of 90 million people

I really can’t get over the shamelessness of this. One party is emphatically pro-assassination, completely unfeeling on the subject of gun violence even when the victims are literal babies, and works hand in glove with right-wing paramilitaries. Violence helps that party by definition.

Having armed and masked government employees kidnapping and killing people in the street is political violence and state domestic terrorism.

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

liberals on this microblogging website

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad

its just funny to me that the avatar of conservative masculinity is such a moist subservient cuck

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation. For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

I’m an atheist and don’t believe in any of it, and even I can detect what blasphemous assholes these guys are.

Take down all the sex creeps in power

Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center. They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

If "Please vote for the rich nepo baby with a history of racism, sexism, and a Nazi tattoo," is the way a party needs to thrive, that party deserves to die.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

What if we just cleared Congress of all the abusers and sex pests this week what is stopping us who cares what party they are in

if you wanna keep your job, don't be a fucking creep. it's really that simple.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

burn it all down.

The Americas watching right-wingers lose everywhere else

Trump is not capable of making sound decisions on behalf of the United States. The media should cover his unfitness for office nonstop, while Congress must move swiftly to relieve him of his responsibilities. Anything less demonstrates a fundamental unserious attitude toward governing a superpower.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

So JD Vance was given two high-profile tasks for the Trump administration -- boost Orban's chances at re-election in Hungary and help strike a settlement in Iran -- and he appears to have failed horribly at both. I'm sure the NYT will be all over that.

Solidarity with the people of Hungary right now and all those around the world who want nothing more than freedom and democracy. This era of corrupt autocratic hateful strongmen must come to an end. It’s up to us to end it.

Really not a fan of the reposts of the Iranian LEGO ai vids are rife with antisemitic imagery but get shared under the aegis of owning the admin

“Oh but Republicans would…” Lemme stop you right there. I know that Republicans are okay voting for men accused of sexual assault. Republicans are also okay with voting for racists, child rapists, genocidal maniacs, and whatever the fuck pathology is a “Ted Cruz.” So miss me with that argument.

We couldn't have done it without her.💐

Quite literally the only reason to tell people this is to convince them to commit crimes

Trump and his administration do not care about women’s lives. Posting a video of a woman being graphically murdered is yet another form of objectification and dehumanization. The purpose of it was to shock and offend, in order to encourage racism against immigrant men. It is a form of terror.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

do you think it’s any coincidence that the richest men in the world are also the least competent bozos you’ve ever seen

I know it’s incredibly hard, darn near impossible, but maybe Democrats can refrain from kneejerk homophobia when going after Republicans? We know it’s difficult, babies. You’re so brave.

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

That's why I keep harping on listening to the debunkers

ICE agents should be fired, not deployed to airports.

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

It’s very interesting how a president’s age, health, and mental acuity stopped mattering after July 2024.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure
