This motherfucker needs to go to jail

not the most notable or monstrous thing about the monster, but it's absolutely wild how trump just openly, reflexively sympathizes with sexual assailants any time he's asked about a sex assault matter. it's genuinely fucking crazy. open fucking rapist president

theyre bringing crime, theyre bringing drugs

I want this little rodent behind bars for the rest of his life.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

“Congress controls the money, the confirmations, the subpoena power, and the impeachment power. The past two years have shown what happens when it declines to use them. The job of the opposition is to use all of them, at full strength, from the first day.”

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

This is how Biden should have gone for Trump but this is the problem when you go through life thinking you have no apex predators. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

As I've said, this is either an impeachable offense that Democrats act on or it's a new precedent.

It would be delightful if our goony maladjusted oligarchs trying to play masters of the universe is what starts tipping countries away from the fascists they try to install.

advancements in mRNA vaccines — the breakthrough that ended the covid pandemic — are now being used to cure cancers. one side is making the most important medical discovery in generations while the other brought back measles and half of America is still confused about who to vote for.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

And that poisonous worldview is to top to bottom, from the president and oligarchs and dictators down to the corporations and businesses and Inatitutionalists betraying their coworkers and neighbors and communities. It is the issue and it requires so many sea changes, much more than elections.

let's fucking go

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Been reading about a lot of very bad but entirely ordinary people throughout history for the next season of Past Lives (Everyday Villains). This guy is utterly typical. 1) Doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. 2) Permission structure in a system of hierarchical authority. 3) Benefits materially.

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

Check out how easy this is.

bring back shame

which trump son is driving the truck

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

Actually evil shit

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

30,000 years ago, a wolf tentatively approaches a fire…

I want you to suppose you have a net worth of $1 million. That’d be the equivalent of spending $450.

We really need to make wealth taxes happen.

Getting sick of this degenerate political movement ngl

hmmmm...not sure one person giving half a billion dollars to one party is a great sign of a healthy political system just not quite on board with that

The thing about Vivek’s absolutely sickening ad with Acton’s mom is that it’s perfectly targeted for the GOP base which is people who are either child abusers or shield them from consequence. It’s the first step in a party-wide 2028 platform of “you aren’t allowed to cut us out of your lives”

These people have embraced nothing but sheer degeneracy at this point. Every single one of them lacks even the most basic moral characteristics required for participation in public life. A movement filled with nothing but the most gutter cretins.
