Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Do we really have such abysmal collective memory that we need to be *told* that the right has a history of censoring free speech? Have we really swallowed so much reactionary-centrist bullshit about "cancel culture" that we've forgotten that primal political truth?

Incredulous that all Republicans have to do is tell Americans that they're stripping our healthcare because illegal immigrants are using it, and the only way to have illegal aliens not abuse it is to take it away from everybody - and that propaganda shit actually works. 🧵👇🏼

DAVID CROSS: “I am disgusted and deeply disappointed… These are some of my HEROES… how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again?” Here’s who went to the Riyadh Comedy Festival: www.timeoutriyadh.com/news/riyadh-...

mmm yeah, no. think i'll just close my eyes and listen. don't need to be constantly multitasking. Beethoven couldn't even hear the fucking beautiful music he wrote. He'd laugh at this digital distrction.

twas the night before the shutdown and all thru the house ...... Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact: - White House - Senate - House - Scotus - OMB (to the hilt) - Every regulatory agency They're in command. It's on them.

It's hard to be intimidated by Pete Hegseth. First & foremost: he's terrified of men in dresses. He thinks fear of women & Trans proves he has a "warrior ethos." I hope I live to see the day some cheeky textbook author puts a photo of him next to the textbook definition of Fragile Masculinity.

Trump is talking about walking up and down stairs now. comparing his stair walking to Obama. jesus fucking christ it just never ends. This old fart is the FARTIEST.

For all the wealthy comedians who are performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival:

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

We wanted to understand the legal justification for the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. So we talked to three unvaccinated crypto investors at Long John Silver's in Scranton.

Netanyahu is speaking at the UN, digging his own grave. what a delusional maniac. No wonder Trump likes him.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Asked to side with Democrats or Republicans on a set of 13 issues, Americans were most likely to prefer Dems on climate, abortion and LGBTQ rights. www.pbump.net/o/climate-ch...

never has been. never will be.

well, they've got CHACHI and KID ROCK and TED fucking NUGENT and probably a few country singin zombies.???? what a joke. 💩🔥😂

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

If Pope Leo has not canonized Charlie Kirk by April 20th we will prosecute. by Pam Bondi

Hiding the truth.

OPEN LETTER: to Conservatives who are compiling databases of people who don’t express sadness at Kirk’s death, in order to call their employers & get them fired. I realize they truly feel self-righteous about this. But on sheer statistics, alone, they are completely fucking delusional. THREAD:👇🧵

turns out the free speech warriors really just wanna be warrriors. fuck that.

Lies that liars tell to their flock of liars who love to listen. a giant clusterfuck of delusional losers wrapped in flags.

One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.

Immense amounts of bullshit piled up here in this post, but just to pick one little thing: Weiss was not "forced to quit." She quit on her own! She clearly went to the NYT *hoping* to be canceled, to make herself a martyr, but they refused to cancel her, so she just pretended they had!

If you did an obituary on Charlie Kirk that was just quoting directly in context what he was most proud of saying and doing, a lot of editors would say to revise it because it would read as being mean to a dead man

violent rhetoric from the right starts all the way from the president at the top, and goes all the way down to the fringe randos. violent rhetoric from the left is confined to the fringe randos. can you spot the difference

Hmmm. Why is it that the most litigious president in US history hasn’t filed a defamation lawsuit against AOC? So weird.

In other news, the big dog is losing his mind barking at a flock of turkeys in the driveway.

Trump claims liberals incited Charlie Kirk's death. HA. Raise your hand if, before today, you didn't give a damn whether Kirk was alive or dead. 🙋🏼‍♀️ He was a nobody. He made his own grave via his own need for attention. They've exalted him to martyrdom when he wasn't even a significant player.

Re today's fatal shooting: 'Under the changes in HB 128, which went into effect on May 7, individuals who are 18 years old or older and have a current Utah concealed weapon permit (CWP) may carry a weapon on campus, including in an “open” fashion.'

Charlie the MAGA Martyr gave his life for a cause he believed in....

A while ago I compared Trump's hold over the GOP to the terrifying 1961 Twilight Zone episode, 'It's a Good Life.' Jon Stewart makes that comparison vivid. (Starts at about time 15:40 of this clip, if link doesn't take you there.) h/t my friend BW. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qxW...

This. Is. America. This. Is. Who. You. Are. what the fuck is wrong with you.

watching Tim Apple at the exciting Apple event, but all i think about is the ass-kissing he has done for Trump lately and it puts a stink on the technological innovations. Do all these Apple people know how shitty it feels to know that this guy has bowed at the feet of dear leader?

gee i wonder why? 'joint efforts' is the last thing America is interested in these days. it seems that the idiots 'in charge' are happier sinking the ship on their own...!

The two most important features of a guitar are: 1. It works, it's not broken or able to break if you look at it wrong 2. It makes you want to pick it up and play it. Everything else is added, usually unnecessary expense.

i'm listening to the new Deftones album. it's pretty good because i loved Faith No More in 1992.

“Trump’s DOJ said…” Shut the fuck up. Who cares what they said. They’re fucking criminals. They lie.
