PSA: You do not, under any circumstances, fund the Gestapo

POV: You're Greg Bovino

everyone posting about Chuck Schumer today is someone who's wishcasted themselves into a world where Congressional minority leadership matters. it doesn't. you are making up a sense of agency so you can blame someone closer to your side than the people actually responsible

The way to end all this is for the EU to immediately get hyper-aggressive with sanctioning and tariffing every American they can find. The man has worse approvals than at any point in his prior term plus it’s an election year. It’s all a bluff. Call it!

lol scott adams died

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

It really is incredible how many people treat being too stupid to hold the thought “two things can both be bad” in their head as some great badge of moral courage.

Director of the CIA is in the room but you have OSINTdefender's twitter page up on the screen

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Liberals say that Trump has turned our democracy into a fascist dictatorship. They're wrong—he's turned our republic into a fascist dictatorship.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

i'm not going to chide or scold anyone for only now leaving twitter. your private, unspoken acknowledgment that i'm your intellectual and moral superior is all i need

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother

every asshole on this website loudly braying that elections either won’t happen or won’t be fair in 2026 had better be buying an inflatable costume and sturdy walking shoes for this saturday, because if truly believe that, you’re not gonna like what the next step is

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

dang there is so much magic in every moment. incredible

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

i love this fucking city, i have been here ten years and if i am lucky, i will get at least another ten or twenty, but, today, this city made a fucking fool of the entire department of homeland security.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.

Out in the war torn streets of Portland. There’s corpses everywhere

nothing bad can happen. it can only good happen. :)

ladies and gentlemen, the weekend

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.
