Nation’s Indigenous People Confirm They Don’t Need Special Holiday, Just Large Swaths Of Land Returned Immediately https://theonion.com/nation-s-indigenous-people-confirm-they-don-t-need-spec-1839033177/

White centrist Americans will never defund the police, because the police are staffed with their friends and family and also the eager Brownshirts willing to violently oppress the "others" that white America disagrees with or finds uncomfortable. They won't give that privilege up without a fight.

Given the Rollins injury rumors and the end of RAW, I wonder if I'm now going to Deadly Game II at Petco in 6 weeks... #WrestlrSky

In which John Oliver methodically unpacks how thin it is to claim you’re all about “the truth” when you’re only running essays don’t get properly fact-checked — and don’t hold up to even basic reporting scrutiny www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

It’s so funny when they call the No Kings protesters “antifa” when they’re like 70% enraged senior citizens (complimentary)

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Read this thread about Russell Vought, whose power is comparable to Stephen Miller's. He believes he's "fighting a noble war to defend his 'real America' of white Christian patriarchal rule" by "bending the entire government machine to Trump's will" - while mainstream media whitewashes his evil.

Nixon’s crimes look like harmless high school pranks compared to the now-daily unprecedented illegal & unconstitutional crimes being committed daily by this president & his staff

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

Black Americans:

I wish my party had the balls John Thune imagines. It would be pretty great.

Come for the criticism of Trump, stay for the brutal takedown of Cuomo.

live your life in such a way that the entire world doesn't laugh its ass off when you don't get the Nobel Peace Prize

"does the president know what is real and what is not" is a legitimate question that should probably get asked a lot more

getting urinated on would be a less humiliating way to lose a rap battle

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

When the Dodgers lose and the Yankees get eliminated on the same day

Congratulations, you played yourself

I have no way to convey that non white people aren’t shocked at chaos being chosen over merit We’re just kind of tired of waiting for folks to get to the next step of Doing something about it

Attacking brown/black folks and protesters plays well for his base because a dogshit economy and Jeffrey Epstein don't. He's going for a power grab to hurt people AND make sure headlines cover this instead of the unpopular stuff. It's not a distraction, it's how you fill inches and split coverage.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

Wedge issue: Shadow President Miller

Yes Trump is horrible, but it’s not like he broke into the White House and is squatting there. Millions of Americans WANTED this. Even once he’s out of power all his voters are still going to be around

You ever have five punchlines at the same time?

If Jane Goodall released a posthumous video of her saying she hated my guts and the world would be better off if I were flown into the Sun I would legit end myself no questions asked.

They like what Trump's doing! Sorry to all those too blind to see it! Not my problem!

“there are laws to follow!!!” the lib cries, “think of the l-l-lawsssss,” and the law in question is institutionalized, sanctioned fascism, or racist, or from x lobbyist to x politician instead of like… common sense, empathy.

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

Every time I want to completely give up on the world, something like this happens.

Go Blue Jays. I have always been a Toronto Blue Jays fan.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like “we used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

🚨 JUST IN: Trump spotted heading to his golf course amid government shutdown

it is interesting to me how the MAGA right has a balkanized view of the United States that does not, at all, correspond with the reality of the United States

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

"If politics is downstream from culture, controlling the culture is paramount. It isn’t good enough to have ersatz expertise as a counterweight to science. The scientists must be destroyed."

This culture is broken, it's not just a problem with our government. America has a sick culture. The vulnerable are really hated to the bone as common sentiment. All mad people know this & all poor people know this. The country refuses to interrogate its antiblackness whose cruelty has only morphed.

He already defunded you. You don't need to keep debasing yourself, @npr.org

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

what most people want at this moment is a fix for fascism that keeps the tone and power imbalances in tact and that's not gonna work

I'm not sure where the disconnect is, but many of the same people who clocked the NYT pivot to the right with clear eyes struggled seeing NPR in the same light. I know you love the brand. But they use that strong brand to pull listeners a different direction when given orders from the top.

If there was a poll about the shutdown that was like "60% of voters blame Democrats" we'd get wall to wall news "analysis" saying the Democrats must immediately capitulate or face electoral ruin, but when we have the opposite (like we do now) the media doubles down on efforts to blame Democrats

I'm a simple man; I like it when the Padres score all the runs. #game3 #wegoingtogame3baby #nothingeasy #nothingeasy #LFGSD

"Ow! OWWWW! Oh, they're defending themselves somehow..."

"Every day, they trample over another of our supposedly sacrosanct civil rights, and mostly, they’re allowed to proceed. And still, it’s not enough, because they know no one really * likes* them or thinks they’re cool."

This is absolutely it—cultural resentment is THE engine propelling MAGA. An entire movement premised on grievance, jealousy, and entitlement. They say they want a “meritocracy,” but true meritocracy is their enemy because deep down they know they suck. And they. Fucking. Hate us for it.
