Puny little men with titles playing “cops and robbers,” doing double duty as the cops and the robbers.

This performative attempt at strength is especially funny considering this guy is shit his pants afraid to ride the Metro. They're all loud cowards.

Hegseth and the GOP continue to cling to the fantasy that the U.S. harbors a vast untapped reserve of lantern-jawed 6-foot-tall blonde, white, Christian heterosexual young men, all of whom will immediately join the military on the condition that it’s purged of queers, women, and non-white people

vance really does stand out for his absolute contempt for anything that looks like forbearance and generosity. his immediate instinct is always to demagogue and issue calumnies against his fellow americans.

I don't call everyone that I disagree with a nazi, only the nazis.

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

Core memory unlocked. I lived on these in summers in the late 80s.

Whatever the opposite of rizz is, this dude has it in spades.

Top 5 podcasts, let's go: (Hard to pick just one @jamieloftus.bsky.social podcast because she's so fucking good at it)

Quote tweet this with the political phrase you would most like to ban from use if you were in charge for a day. "Male loneliness epidemic"

Look man, if you’re a transphobe, I just think you’re a horrible person. Full stop. It is what it is! But I don’t wish bad things on you, because there is no worse fate I could wish on you than the life you are currently living as a grotesque, miserable monster with a rotting heart.

"Trans folks will destroy us all" whisper the powers that create paid barriers to every living need to enrich themselves & hoard more resources than most of us can imagine.

there is nothing that even the most marginally progressives can do that won't result in the right wing attempting to incite a civil war, including doing literally nothing. this isn't a country. we're not "citizens", we're hostages

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

if they're calling it the Reichstag fire themselves doesn't that sort of give the game away

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Uh huh Nothing scarier to fascists than people who don't just ask why but demand satisfying answers all while living exactly as themselves at all times no matter the overwhelming pressure to conform & the great personal physical danger it puts them in

If you think that due process only applies to citizens then ask yourself what you would do if someone accused you of being a non citizen. Either we all have due process or no one does. The Constitution affords the former. SCOTUS has unleashed the latter.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

If I were a Democrat in Congress I'd be introducing legislation to suspend the Supreme Court's upcoming term (it's happened before, in 1802). The suspension would be to give us time to figure out what to do with this dangerous, anti-democratic institution.

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

No contest, Nightswimming.

Her polling must be disastrous and/or K Street is calling.

The 25th Ammendment is too good for this fucker.

I've never trusted this weirdo. I was right.

Referring to a mediocre breakfast restaurant as your culture and heritage is one of the whitest things I've ever read.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Update: President Pedo Manbaby didn’t like the jobs report in the wake of his insane and chaotic policies. Rather than figure out how to stem the decline caused entirely by him, President Pedo Manbaby decided to fire the person overseeing the jobs report. You’re all caught up.

The truest thing that Hillary Clinton said was that Trump always takes the bait.

Hot Epstein Files Summer keeps getting hotter.

It's pretty simple, really. Just release them. Let's hold everyone accountable.

Colbert, PBS, and NPR all in one day, plus the president suing the WSJ for publishing a birthday card. What a year today's been.

"I mean, I've never known any personally, but isn't Danny Thomas one?"

At this point I think it would be healthier if an Epstein scandal brought down the entire government than if Peter Thiel does it.

As much as this guy moves around goalposts, you'd think he'd be in better shape.

The Challenger explosion.

It still surprises me how much this show was memory holed by virtually everyone, even in spite of the spectacular A Very Brady Episode.

Tbh, this may be the biggest win of the night.

Trump is literally the contractor from The Money Pit.

Block JD and move on.

Yam tits would have allowed slavery to continue. I'm not entirely convinced he isn't working to bring it back.

It would take far less effort to drive up to the office of who owns the farm and arrest who is responsible for illegally employing undocumented folks. But this really isn't about law and order, is it?

This has been the best day on social media since we all found out Trump had COVID.

100% chance Timmy slobs billionaire donors knob for campaign donations.
