It’s getting harder to shake the feeling the USA isn’t being set up for something awful by an adversary who understood how cheap it was to hire Donald Trump & a drunk sex pest from Fox News to destroy our military.

America cannot have a multiracial, multicultural democracy if the United States Supreme Court is allowed to continue to exist in its current form

#BREAKING: In non-Missouri emergency docket news, #SCOTUS *grants* the Trump administration's request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing DHS to have access to certain Social Security information. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

Good. Kaptur has been the Rep for my hometown nearly my whole life (not a dig, I think she's actually served her district pretty well), but I won't be the least bit sad if her pivot into anti-trans moral panic nonsense ends her career.

UPDATE: Equality Ohio has lowered Rep. Kaptur’s grade on their Candidate Scorecard from a "B" to a “D.” thebuckeyeflame.com/2026/09/17/m...

Since the original post already includes the funniest scene (Remedial Chaos Theory), this slow-motion disaster of a scene gets a very honorable mention:

What’s the single funniest scene in sitcom history?

i thought macklemore’s costume in 2014 was offensive and gross *and* i’m moved by his activism on behalf of palestinians and the way he’s using his platform to help those who are living/honor those who were slaughtered. for me, both of these things can be true.

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

applying "Make ___ Great Again" to Germany really does kinda give the game away

Trump: “Wow! The Populist Party in Germany just had a really big night. They finally got tired of the absolutely horrible Immigration rules and regulations which have hurt Germany so badly. THEY ARE ON THE RISE, and not going to take it anymore! MGGA!!! President DJT”

"They can't help any more than I can help being Dolly Parton" is such an exquisite line. It turns a statement of pity into one of solidarity. What an icon.

President Pedophile is starving the troops who are burning through a decade of munitions stockpiles losing the war of aggression he started for no reason

I think what we're seeing around the internet right now, vis a vis AOC & her ex-boyfriend & her eggs, is just a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver of the absolute madness that will break out if she runs for president. No matter how f'ing weird you think people will be about it, they will be much, much weirder.

I hope it's widely understood that "tried to run me over" is ICE's go-to lie.

Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

I found this exact promo only copy in the used CD bin at Boogie Records in Toledo, Ohio, two months before the Todd Terry remix of this song absolutely exploded. I still wonder what the DJ that dumped it was thinking.

TRUMP: BALLROOM DECISION BY COURT MUST BE OVERTURNED BY SUPREME COURT IN ITS ENTIRETY

Brent Welsh reposted

The dumbest & most deranged man to ever hold political office in U.S.A will stand before the American people tonight & lie to promote debunked theories about 2020 election because the world’s biggest loser can’t stand that he lost. FYI, he’s also a drug-addicted sexual predator.

As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”

Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

The way you know the grifting is off the charts is how quiet those two twerps have been. Remember the first term? How they were everywhere, whining and yelling and just being little assholes in public all the time? They learned their lesson. Be quiet and steal money.

“Vote blue no matter who” goes both ways, friends. Progs call out centrists for saying it. Now centrists are calling progs out for saying it. Stop letting billionaires divide us.
