There are higher roads in life but I think I have decided that living to see the destruction, if only partially, of those I hate will be sufficient motivation.

My statement on the end of the old InfoWars, and the imminent beginning of a much better one.

May 1 is International Worker’s Day, and I’m gonna use that to shamelessly self-promote Striking Flint, my board game about the strike that forced General Motors to acknowledge the legitimacy of the United Auto Workers! hollandspiele.com/products/str...

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

For @typebarmagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about how trying to play nice with the modern concept of "fandom" is ruining the greatest card game that's ever existed www.typebarmagazine.com/the-fandom-s...

The modern Democratic party established its identity by backing civil rights; the modern GOP by opposing them. Civil rights are the values of Dem value voters—the party BASE. The Dems lose the plot when they don’t LEAD on public opinion of civil rights. This is the lesson they don’t learn.

The project of reconstruction and holding confederates accountable was never fully finished and that's a huge part of our problem today

My most popular meme on bluesky thusfar

The new passports are crazy y'all

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

JD Vance: "Political violence is coming largely from one side of the aisle. The president has now faced three serious attempts on his life ... " (Melissa and Mark Hortman aren't available for comment)

Just like the Taney Court before the Civil War, the Republican Roberts Court has completely delegitimized itself through its rulings, in addition to its illegitimacy as a minority-rule institution.

It’s a disastrous day for democracy. The Voting Rights Act made the U.S. an actually functioning democracy. And civil rights activists face impossible odds to gifting it to us. The Supreme Court‘s decision is vile.

Imagine going to another country and having to show them the picture of a rapist so they'll let you enter.

'Disappointed, "Surprised," 'Betrayed': 12 Toddlers on Where Did Mom Go Peekaboo Oh There She Is

LANDSMAN: You've cut healthcare by nearly $1t & now you're gonna cut the EPA by 50%. ZELDIN: I hear from Americans across the country happy to get more back in their tax return LANDSMAN: You don't talk to folks. That really isn't true. Nobody is saying 'thank you' for cutting their healthcare

It is increasingly difficult to explain to younger lawyers and law students that working at the Department of Justice used to be a prestigious job in the legal profession, rather than a place where you do...whatever this is

When I was a sales rep, one of my accounts told me this, “St. Paul cops will sit by and watch you get robbed. Minneapolis cops will punch you in the face for talking to them.” And it just becomes more & more accurate.

Trump demands ABC fire Kimmel on Monday. FCC orders Disney's early license renewals on Tuesday. That's not a coincidence. That's retaliation. The 1st Amendment only works if the gov't can't threaten your license for content they don't like. Every broadcaster in America is watching. That's the point.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

/2 To get this, you have to get how DoJ has traditionally branded and seen itself. It’s long had a culture of [claimed at least] excellence — the idea that “we work for the government but our writing and research and argument will be overwhelmingly the best in the case.” Certainly it’s …

This is how the United States Department of Justice writes now.

You know, after reading a couple hundred stories like this, I'm starting to get the vague impression that Bari Weiss might just be an incredibly shitty person and a fairly stupid one at that.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

Ball room is a bipartisan preoccupation, as we know from recordings of LBJ's calls to his tailor

Well done sir, they're calling it your best interview yet

they’re getting mad about depictions in film of killing actual fascists come on lol

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.

does really feel like a vibe shift when the media is like “so the shooter said you’re a pedophile rapist, thoughts? did he have a point?”

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

It would be nice if an act of political violence could still result in simple, uncomplicated condemnation rather than happening with the elephant in the room that the sitting president of the United States has repeatedly and eagerly tried to get his political opponents murdered.

This certainly is different when it comes to manifestos.

I went to have cocktails to celebrate the giant meat grinder but then someone turned on the giant meat grinder and it was really loud and scary. and you're laughing

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

ah well nevertheless

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

We need a law that states if a member of Congress resigns while under investigation by an Ethics body, the investigation will continue, the results will be made public, and any warranted criminal referrals issued. Resigning should not stop justice.

“Coach” Tuberville has just made the point that the charges against the SPLC are purely political and have nothing whatsoever to do with fraud or justice.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."

May I have the strength to be as furious and as totally irrational as @bencollins.bsky.social forever Here he is, in conversation with a colleague and friend @lindseyadler.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com, on the topic of buying INFOWARS flaminghydra.com/issue-548/

Fun thread of good works:

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease
