Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

someone get this to no kings or some big group- let's make election day a party. I always thought election day should be a day of joy because a lot of people died to make it possible it should be a four day weekend and celebration.

The glibness with which these people are dismissing what is, fundamentally, an extensive record of elite atrocities makes me think it’s better if I don’t finish this sentence

Especially since we currently have about a dozen moral panics that have gone too far, THIS was the thing that made you mad?

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

it shouldn’t matter at all what the background of someone murdered by fascists is “he was no angel” is horrible, bigoted bullshit but it does affect people’s perception and they fucked up really really bad here because they appear to have shot an actual saint

I am as explicitly as possible laying down a date-stamped marker that a federal immigration agent is going to die violently within the next calendar year, and that this will retroactively be used to justify policy. I am saying it here so I can angrily quote this at media figures when it happens.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

There has to be a word beyond outrage for when this loathsome, lying pack of slovenly frauds uses a Web 2.0 version of the Klan to publicly butcher the best humanity has to offer and then dare you to question their right to do it and laugh in your face about it

this is how it’s going to have to be, and how major movements have always been

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

they made the speedrun from Kavanaugh Stops to Kavanaugh Abductions to Kavanaugh Absolute Violations of Constitutional Rights in record time, to no one's surprise

another really bleak part of the lore in that universe that feels more relevant now is how in the midst of the resource wars the us manages to successfully invent nuclear fusion and uses it primarily as a way of building new types of weapons to keep fighting over oil

Dude is a real one

people keep being like “hey sorry for the beef last week/year/decade” and I cannot even describe to you how little you care about or even remember any internet beef when you see 50 cars full of masked paramilitaries roll into your immediate neighborhood every day. all is forgiven, fight with us

My “Hey don’t kill people” brand is really breaking people’s brains it seems

I will never forgive the people who voted for him

Merry Februus season, everyone, everywhere #metalsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVo-...

Tom Fitzgerald, welcome to the hot seat #NJDevils

Vile. Just...vile.

New Rolo Tomassi. Jeez.

pay people executive level salaries and then crack down with an iron fist on corruption

Had em all the way (Habs are good) #NJDevils

I agree with trump, we can’t have the communist Mamdani become mayor of New York otherwise we may enter an era of crumbling economy, skyrocketing prices, political repression, no healthcare or food, and persecution of minorities

Ladies and gentlemen, the 1995 new jersey devils

Jake Allen is gonna win the vezina lol

Seems pretty bad to me!

one single step that would do a lot to improve reputation of LLMs would be for Google to abandon AI Mode like they do with all of their other products

these guys aren’t bold, original thinkers, they’re sniveling racists and misogynists who would’ve seemed uncouth and retrograde to richard fucking nixon

the era of small government is over and we can either have armed thugs with badges disappearing people or universal health care and high speed rail

It doesn't matter why he's worried about the Epstein files. You don't need to know why. It only matters that he's shown us it is an open wound, and it is our job only to shove a rotten 2x4 into it.

Radley Balko is always worth reading, but when he talks about police militarization, he’s speaking as one of the most qualified journalists we have. He’s rather apocalyptic about where we are with a huge ICE force. He’s right. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Oh my god I love hockey so much

They're literally doing the meme

the republican party is not a political organization in any meaningful sense as much as it is a nihilistic death cult

The fight to make today better must become your central task

Normatively it should not matter but practically it does, so it’s worth reiterating: all this woman did was write an op ed in a student newspaper. That’s it. She didn’t lead violent or disruptive protests, she didn’t advocate for violence, she co-wrote an op ed calling for divestment. That’s it.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

God I love hockey

May 2, 1945: The U.S. celebrates the collapse of Germany's far-right government. May 2, 2025: The U.S. is chastised by Germany for supporting a return to power of Germany's far-right government.

I think this aspect of Trump's gulag deal with Bukele is really underappreciated ... for all the talk about "cleaning up the gangs" the US government's belief is that he is collaborating with them www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

I HAVE NEVER DOUBTED THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS ONCE

Senator Chris Van Hollen says he asked the U.S. embassy in El Salvador if they had received orders from Trump to try to facilitate the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as the Supreme Court instructed, and was told no. @vanhollen.senate.gov

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

just as important as knowing when to run for office is knowing when to leave, and I think a lot of incumbent politicians have forgotten that
