*extremely american thing* yeah but can you imagine china doing it?

Congratulations to Emerson, Lake & Palmer for winning the Grammy for Best Concept Album About An Armadillo Tank for the 54th year in a row

The reason you can tell that AI doesn’t actually have intelligence or reasoning ability is that it didn’t respond by asking the person why they have a job

I have heard about DHS literally every day for over a year

Look, folks: President Trump shitting his pants live on camera is a DISTRACTION from the Epstein files, which are in turn a DISTRACTION from ICE’s gestapo tactics which are themselves a DISTRACTION from the affordability crisis… (1/13,597)

I could have died at least seventeen times before seeing those words in that particular combination.

The President trusted a fart and it betrayed him JUST LIKE HE BETRAYED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE RT AND FOLLOW IF YOU AGREE

After a year back in power, Republicans are calling for Kristi Noem's head, Charlie Kirk is dead at Mormon hands, Will Stancil is zooming around trying to chase ICE out of Minnesota, district judges are fedposting from DC to West Texas, & Trump is maybe-actually-shitting himself in the Oval Office.

Is there a name for this kind of woke-coded conservatism? I've seen this sort of thing online a lot where people advocate for conservative positions using this sort of obvious bad faith woke justification but I don't know if there's a term for this specific type of "logic"

This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

I Bought This Before I Knew He Was Begging To Go To Epstein’s Pedo Island

it’s ok if you get into your friend’s Tesla and say, “oh sick, does it have a child porn feature?”

The PTSD and residual *secondary* trauma to EVERYONE is something we're going to be treating for the next nine decades or so. The older girl's poem - written out of RESPECT - cracked my fucking heart.

It cannot be emphasized how hard this guy's ruling goes

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

Leather? Pshaw. If you aren’t hauling around a sign made of Calacatta marble, you need to renegotiate with Soros.

begging people to drop the notion that there are “bad” deportable people and it’d be ok if the state just focused on them. we’ve seen the state describe as violent assault on officers a white man throwing a sandwich at one and a white woman slowly steering her car away from another

Reminder, too, that we all knew he sucked shit since AT LEAST this event so burn your Tesla with the "I bought this before he was a crazy Nazi" because no you didn't

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.

If 80% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, and the mainstream position of the Democratic party is minor reforms that have already been tried and didn't work, who exactly are they claiming to represent if not their voters?

Two weeks to the day after we had to lay my sweet baby boy Alex to rest, and we received three incredibly kind, clearly personalized cards from his vet/techs, his ultrasound vet/techs, and the woman from Lap of Love who helped with his passing, and I am a fucking sobbing mess.

It’s hard to imagine someone more universally enjoyed than Catherine O’Hara where the opinions range from “I like her and her work” to “I love her and her work” and that’s a pretty good legacy

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

I really have needed to repost this a lot in the last year

This could be us but you playin’.

I mean this one hurts as much as big invite friends over

So sometimes, in trying to explain my relationship to "a higher being" or smth, I talk about how fucking enormous the universe must truly be. Like a level of vastness so massive that it is beyond our human comprehension. We are so unimportant and so important.

The my-mom-in-particular libs are almost as mad as me and that warms my heart

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

i love that rightwingers genuinely seem to believe that political ideology is a set genetic inheritable trait

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

ROFLMAO MORE SHAMING LIKE THIS PLEASE

The Christmas Adventurer type guys sitting in silence after the 18th hole, club sandwiches and sweet teas untouched in front of them, newsmax muted on the bar tv, avoiding eye contact while they try to will themselves into enjoying the Nicki Minaj song they themselves requested

That’s my game show king! ROLL THE CLIP!

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career. What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

You can all just quit your jobs. I want you to remember that. You don't have to go try and do pointless stooge shit in a city that already hates you more than you've ever hated anything and will sniff you out as diaper baby cowards before your rental van gets over the Ben Franklin Bridge.

Same.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...
