Are there going to be 100 opinion pieces about Republicans and political violence now or is that just for when somebody says something critical of Trump

I guess they're going to keep juicing the stonks until the mass starvation and economic crisis everyone is predicting hits much closer to the midterms? Because ain't no deal that isn't just the Obama deal with a janky gold sign added.

Today is Septidi the 7th of Prairial in the year 234. Prairial is the month of meadows. Today we celebrate oat grass.#JacobinDay More information on oat grass

Jebus, my fellow white guys, about time.

Kids don't owe their parents anything. Parents owe their kids everything.

The day I stopped listening to anything you had to say.

You Want More Mayor Mamdani, ok........

One day he will be dead and the world will rejoice.

Me in my Bluesky bubble.

We’ve been drinking white Côtes du Rhônes recently, so today I didn’t think twice when I saw another one at the store, bought it, and popped that sucker in the fridge. Pouring just now, it was red! Oops! I like red Côtes du Rhônes too, but this one is now chilled. I have to say: still yum. 🤷🏻‍♂️🍷❄️😬

And... we're back to threats. The cycle of: 1) Threats 2) Lies of an imminent peace deal 3) Positive media coverage for that 4) Evidence of no deal, and nowhere close to Iran making concessions 5) Pretending not to care about a deal he transparently wants 6) Threats Took about three days this time

Just a periodic reminder that this obscene-wealth-to-scale website exists and should be viewed by everyone eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

You know…there are OTHER circumstances where the decent among us should pick up our marbles and leave. 🧐

The point is it ISN'T JUST about politics any longer. It's about morality and I agree there's a line there that's now been crossed that hadn't been before by people I used to respect...

GAH!!

The Supreme Court says this is legal partisan gerrymandering.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

🔥Democracy scholar & Stanford fellow @FukuyamaFrancis: “🇺🇸 decline is a direct product of Trump's rise. It’s as if he decided try to weaken 🇺🇸 vis-à-vis 🇨🇳 — friends/rivals agree 🇺🇸 is a rogue state contributing to global instability… a laughingstock.” (H/T @clashreport)

The only gift we need from trump is to permanently leave the WH.

How Soviet!!!

This is what he was too busy with to go to his son’s wedding.

Every time a judge calls bullshit on Trump's DOJ, an angel gets its wings.

Trump missing his son’s wedding makes sense given the Republican Party’s attempt to court the votes of People who Hate Their Children.

And a w..😱

Wait until he finds out “know” has a “k.”

He just found out dumb has a B in it

“Sorry I can’t be at your wedding, I have very important war stuff to be doing.” (HOURS LATER)

If his voters are finally realizing he’s a deeply corrupt lying blowhard who truly, deeply sucks at his job and is only interested in himself, well, I wish you had figured that out in 2024 and I hope you vote accordingly now. As John McClane said in Die Hard:

Its important to take time and enjoy the little things, like John Cornyn won't be a US Senator anymore one way or another and that's pretty cool

“They include Mr. Mamdani’s appointment of critics of Israel to roles in his administration that have historically gone to members of the Orthodox or ultra-Orthodox community….” I’m sorry: what?? Gulf Widens Between Mamdani and Pro-Israel Jewish Leaders www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

Notice that isn't because those people stopped being in need of food. He is celebrating the fact that 5 million people stopped receiving food assistance. NOTE: 39% of all food stamp recipients are children.

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

In this Ohio diner, a $1.7 billion slush fund is what Ryan Day needs to compete in the transfer portal. But they do know this: Democrats should have never let Trump’s IRS leak Trump’s tax returns while Trump was president.

Ezra Klein and the abundance people annoyed me so greatly because one of their core themes was that Dems just "love bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake" and "don't dream big" when the real reason we don't have nice things is just rank corruption dressed up as serious adult policy

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social.

The way Ron DeSantis has turned Florida’s previously top-notch university system into a lavish slush fund for his friends and co-segregationists needs to be the subject of a withering political campaign. Everyone who touched this process should be made radioactive in polite society.

It's all rewarmed homophobia, anyway. Basically every anti-trans argument has been used against cis queer people in thepast, and *will* be used again if they can drive trans folks back into the closet.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Trump absolutely cratering in new Fox poll: 29-71 on economy 24-76 on inflation He's underwater among whites *and* rural voters (!) Among independents he's at 24 percent (!!) On the pod, @jamescdownie.bsky.social is good on the collapse of the Trump coalition: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

Watching Games of Thrones for the first time and I’m getting life from Joffrey biting it.

Granpa PhuqFace can suck it. 🖕

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just slammed the Trump slush fund: "So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick."

Unusual? Unusual??!! "Trump Administration Live Updates: Republicans Balk at Trump’s Unusual $1.8 Billion Fund" www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Neither are okay.
