Part of me is annoyed at myself for letting this Israeli racist colonel get under my skin. Part of me thinks we should in fact normalize telling genocidal war criminals to "fuck off" on television. Full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0c...

So here comes the trolley, barreling its way to the fork in the tracks. Yes, and here's the switch, and the people on the tracks; five of them in the trolley's current path, one on the alternate track. And then there's you, standing at the only switch. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

this is the only input i have for this topic

This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance. We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility. If we do, the new house will need new locks. www.the-reframe.com/change-the-l...

If we actually survive to time when history still exists as a reality, I imagine students of it will shake their heads in wonder that the same people who do shit like this also never stop whining that they “aren’t allowed” to do and say what they wanted.

Carville is the portrait the Democratic Party keeps in its attic that grows increasingly hideous as they magically stay beautiful, except they don’t stay beautiful, and they don’t keep it in the attic, they trot it out endlessly like a goddamn cayenne pepper andouille mummy’s cadaver museum display.

“Yad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum adhere to a “Palestine exception” when opposing genocide... organizations such as the ADL, use spurious accusations of antisemitism to silence or discredit those who dare to speak out.”

So are Republicans going to be asked to condemn this or

It's important to note that people--a lot of people--were saying this at the time, and predicting exactly what is happening now, and were called anti-American lovers of terrorism for holding that position, mostly by people who are still given platforms today to tell us we're overreacting.

Godzilla ideas for a large painting, the concept is te is rising from the mists with a Japanese fishing boat a sole witness.

As American as apple pie. 😳

it feels like this year we've been rolling the dice every Sunday to see if it's a Tariffs Week, Deportations Week, Constitutional Crisis Week, or Wild Card

Well, Well,Well, Not So Easy To Find A Government That Doesn’t Suck Shit By King George III

Imagine. If. Biden. Said. This.

Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican. You can’t. It would never happen. Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia. Sickening:

“Why won’t Zohran Mamdani denounce a dangerous slogan?” asks a headline in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo isn’t asked to denounce a dangerous war criminal whose legal team he joined.

Really something to watch who is going out of their way to support a grotesquely corrupt sex offender who recently resigned in disgrace to avoid passing the baton to the type of person they appear to find most dangerous: a skilled and positive new progressive talent.

“Nobody gets ceasefires done like me. Sleepy Joe Biden couldn’t get a ceasefire done in peacetime, definitely not in war. Big strong Muslims…they never cry. But I saw tears rolling right down into their beards and they said, ‘Thank you, Donald Trump for making Iran great again.’” -DJT 6/24/2025

I don’t have anything insightful to say on today’s events, but anyone who knows me knows there are two things I don’t fuck with: nihilism, and anarchism. If those are your weapons of choice, we are not aligned in mind or community. A better day is possible and it’s not stupid or naive to think so

I think we can stop paying the world’s worst man billions to make exploding rockets. Find someone nice—like Weird Al, for example; I bet he will build exploding rockets for 1/10th the cost.

In the linked essay, I mention Nancy Mace's standard TERF question, asked most recently to Tim Walz: "What is a woman?" My answer is simple. A woman is not a *what.* A woman is a *who.* I want to expand a bit from the essay on what I think this matters. www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other

Only king I acknowledge.

On the left, Jesse Watters denouncing Comey for saying Trump should be 86’d and claiming it was a death threat. On the right, Jesse Watters describing Terry Moran’s firing from ABC as him being… 86’d. To misquote a line from the right, you don’t hate [Fox] enough.

No sleep for ICE tonight as activists found their hotel again. Hotel managers have to decide whether that GSA per diem money is worth having their hotel completely surrounded 24/7 by protesters.

thought this was really beautiful

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Thinking about the children whose families were subject to police raids because they had pirated the wrong songs

The Last of Us insists upon itself.

Getting account holders’ permission to steal their money would kill the bank robber industry.

Many years ago someone from NYC on Twitter explained Trump as the uniquely New York Society phenomenon of the "straight queen" and I didn't fully absorb what that meant until I saw this.

Shot. Chaser.

yes democrats for sure should keep wandering out into the great Centrist Desert

"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor—never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor—never the tormented. Yet the tormenter says the same thing about the tormented that the tormented says about the tormenter, and the tormenter has lots of $$$. So who can say." -NYT Editorial Board

Tech billionaires capitulated to Donald Trump when he was elected. 100 days later, it’s blown up in their faces. From Zuckerberg to Musk to Bezos, each CEO has been left reeling as Trump’s policies wreak havoc on their businesses. Read @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s latest: zeteo.com/p/tech-billi...

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

"now son do you know why i pulled you over tonight?" "no officer, what seems to be the trouble?" "well it's just a routine checkpoint son, i'm going to have to ask you a few questions. first off, in herman melville's moby-dick what is the white whale an allegory for?"

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

National gangbanger finger wagging while the Secretary of Defense’s only qualification is having the most American History X looking tattoos we’ve ever seen is something else.
