things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

A thing I strongly believe, but that was only obvious in retrospect, was that drive-time talk radio was the most valuable propaganda platform in history and a big reason we got into this mess we're in now was because conservatives dominated it in the 1990s and 2000s

hey i have a good number of trans followers and just in case any of this insidious shit is seeping in and seeing it stated plainly by a rando helps: you don't deserve this

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

Trump says voter id will mean secure elections that we can all trust. Well in the 2020 election, Georgia had the strictest voter id in the country. Yet Trump is still to this day claiming the election was stolen in that state. To Trump and GOP, if they win it was fair, if they lose it was fraud.

The fact that Pam Bondi got called out covering up rapists, pedophiles and sex traffickers in the government and countered with "...but stocks are high" tells you everything you need to know about the Republican party.

I don't know who made this, but thank you for your service.

The Washington Post laid off one-third of its staff, despite being owned by the fourth-richest man on the planet. Billionaire control of the media is a threat to the free press.

I am unfortunately in a living situation at the moment where I have to be briefly subjected to the disgusting shills at Fox News just about every day. And despite all of the recent horrifying revelations in the Epstein files, what were these Fox idiots ranting about? TRANS PEOPLE. Again.

I imagine Bill Maher's take on these Epstein file dumps is along the lines of, "okay, Trump was part of an elite cabal that raped and trafficked underage girls...but he was really charming and gracious when he had me over for dinner."

NBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge. Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump. Our mainstream media is broken. Subscribe to Zeteo.

Wow. The tides are definitely shifting.

Bill Hicks nailed it over 30 years ago: "Anyone that far to the right is hiding a deep, dark secret."

For those keeping score at home:

I'm watching Kyle Kulinski's hour-long coverage of the latest Epstein files dump. This makes "Eyes Wide Shut" look like "Paddington."

Maybe the biggest "shut up and take my money" of all time. They've already raised over $600k in two hours, well over the $20k goal.

Ayo @frankconniff.bsky.social… This might be hard proof that there is divine justice out in the Universe… Brett Ratner’s “Melania” documentary officially has a lower IMDB critic rating than “Manos: The Hands of Fate”. #IMDB

NAME THEM AND SHAME THEM.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

This is just beautiful on a number of levels.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

maybe if Trump raped children while wearing a tan suit MAGA might care

The only thing I’ve seen in the last ten years that has given me hope for the future.

I absolutely co-sign this.

This has always been and will forever be my favorite moment in Oscar history. Written by Michael McKean and Annette O'Toole and performed by "Mitch & Mickey." I still can't believe it was nominated for Best Song and that they got to perform it. RIP Catherine. m.youtube.com/watch?v=z9rj...

Totally gutted. I've been a fan since "SCTV" and there are few actresses I loved more. I was lucky enough to see her perform twice, at a "Mighty Wind" concert in 2003 and at a "Nightmare Before Christmas" show at the Hollywood Bowl in 2015. She could do anything. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...

Bill Maher, a man who has spent 43 years making his livelihood via Hollywood—33 of them by largely talking about politics—saying Hollywood needs to shut up about politics, demonstrates a lack of self awareness so immense I can't even begin to wrap my frigging brain around it.

The good people of the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana.

If you're in need of a laugh, go read the "reviews" of this on Letterboxd. It currently has a 1.2 rating. 🤣 I don't normally support review bombing, but I'll make an exception in this case. letterboxd.com/film/melania...

We're all so used to Trump's constant rallies now we don't really talk about how fucking weird they are anymore. He's been holding ego-stroking rally events since 2016. Over 900 of them...for a DECADE. Same goes for his merch. It's not normal, but it's been normalized to the point of invisibility.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

This bears repeating again.

Boy, Nicki Minaj turned out to be a real POS, huh? Who knew? Literally every person who was paying attention. That's who. Stop making stupid people famous.

So I'm guessing Morrissey is on board. 😔

Here's one of my fears: Trump or Vance or whatever MAGA chud ends up serving out the rest of this term is just going to pardon ICE and all the other criminals in this regime on his way out.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

File this statement under "well-meaning, but does not adequately meet this moment."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Tomorrow morning the Sunday shows will launder the nonsense. They cannot be allowed to do it. We have no choice but to turn our backs on anything that tells us to deny what we have seen. They will not hear us. It doesn't matter. We must tell them regardless.

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

Amidst all this national chaos, the "he's doing exactly what I voted for him to do" people are the ones that perplex me the most. Really? If you endorse the crap this regime is doing, either publicly or privately, please exit my life. I don't want to know you.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

This country, under the current regime, won't make it to November.

The fact of the matter is ICE are white nationalists, oath keepers, Jan 6ers and proud boys. They’re doing what they’re supposed to under the leadership of Miller and Trump. Any Democrat opposed to abolish ICE & prosecute is diet MAGA. They aren’t serious people.

Any statements from these profiles in courage?

Abolish the Republican Party.
