It’s remarkable how this administration has done every single thing conservatives pretended liberals were doing when Biden was in charge.

i would like to someday understand how people, in 2026, are still doing this kind of "black women got no time for hasan pikers antisemitism take that shit to dearborn 😂😂" -- does anyone still believe this shit, let alone believe it is effective

it's getting annoying how much of American politics is driven by people who are basically house cats in regards to policy; they are completely unaware of the support structure that fills their food bowl and only interested in knocking things down or chasing laser pointers

the way "dems are our only hope" and "well what do you expect them to do" can coexist in your minds is absolutely incredible

You cannot understand the American right's mental universe without realizing a constitutive trauma over the past ~40 years has been a growing fear of irrelevance and feelings of rejection as liberal culture "won" in mainstream media. It's hard for liberals and leftists to understand this mindset

always wild to hear people act, with full sincerity, like it's a violation of human rights if they can't straightforwardly break traffic laws while driving on public roads

here's my diagnosis of whats going on with civilization: we have completely lost the plot. what are we even doing here. whats the fucking point. things of this nature

“We’ll tear it down, and we’ll seize the assets of anyone who participated in building it and refund it to the taxpayers.” That’s it. That’s the campaign. 350 electoral votes. Just do it. Think like an average American for once for godssakes

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons

There's hope for our people I think. The Romans used to terrorize the world and now they just make delicious food. Maybe we'll have a non-evil thing someday too

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.

There's nothing more pathetic than people who think a demented old pedophile threatening to commit war crimes and abolish the constitution is A Strong Man. He's a rich kid who inherited money and became a reality TV star. I can't believe there are adults who don't think Trump is a fucking loser.

It’s Friday

And as other folks note, their concept of “Christendom” is fairly shallow too: It’s right-wing ideology mostly cooked up in the past two centuries wearing the skin of Christianity like some demented serial killer.

The key to understanding Trump II is that it’s an administration predicated on doing a national murder-suicide for the crime of embarrassing Trump in 2020

The DC #NoKings march will be passing Ft. McNair, where Stephen Miller has been living in military housing. Rig Madden, who says he served in the US Army for 22 years, has a message for Miller.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The Jetsons lied to us

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

This is a total non-starter and every Democrat should fiercely oppose it. Authorizing a single dollar more for this illegal war would be unconscionable (much less $200B more!). If your congressmember isn’t raising all sorts of hell to stop this, then it’s time to replace them.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

I hope I'm wrong but I've settled on the idea that unless the next Democratic president is a generational talent with a sharp focus and an iron will we can pack this whole thing up and go home

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

“Pluralism is a lie”   That really is the consensus on the Right: It’s all a lie, no one actually wants it, it’s all just a conspiracy orchestrated by globalist elites, it destroys the nation.   It’s the one thing that unites all the factions on the MAGA right: A rabid disdain of pluralism.

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

If anyone slows me down for even a second I will drive like a psycho, so could we build traffic rules around my lack of self-control please

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

Trump: I am threatening an illegal war with Iran, covering up evidence I sexually assaulted a 13 year old, openly stealing from the Treasury, trying to ban critical media, steal the midterm elections, and kill American citizens who oppose me. Democrats: We must maintain strict decorum!

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

I find it incredibly reassuring when the town crier announces all is well at 3AM, when I am abed and at my most vulnerable

I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.

Two Americans died defending their multicultural society within the last several weeks.

Remember when federal agents shot that guy in the back? It was because of a completely unrelated thing had nothing to do with and wasn’t present for. Shame on you for being angry about it! bsky.app/profile/davi...

i like that every time jd vance tries to tell a story about some awful thing that happened he just sounds like the softest dude on the planet. aw, poor baby, you mean you and your chud friends were locked in a restaurant?
