The Republican Party must end.

"He voted for Trump three times. Then came cancer and the bills. Now he's worried that he won't live long enough to vote for Trump again."

Brush up on logic. It will help you to navigate through all this bullshit. There are simple instructional articles and books. It doesn't have to be Aristotle or god help us Hegel, just normal stuff you can absorb through reading works of plain sound reasoning.

The priest’s at home. A false priest’s servant bade him welcome. Step in. The holy father. With bows a traitor servant. Curlycues of chords.

A century ago....

“Tom Cotton, do you disavow the Ku Klux Klan?” “Why are you asking me that question?” “Your name is Tom Cotton.”

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Why does the Cheesecake Factory refuse to distance itself from Hasan Piker?

I wasn’t sure what to think about politics until I listened to Matthew McConaughey. All right, all right, it’s the Third Way for me.

Back in the day you could look at the internet for up to an hour without getting mad.

P.U.! They flooded the zone, alright.

Growing unease among political observers about apparent increase in barbarian attacks.

Orlando: My Political Biography (2023) Paul B. Preciado's film portrays the experience of being nonbinary in many ways, using as a template Virginia Woolf's Orlando, with over twenty transgender people playing different versions of the character. A film of poetry and unexpected insights.

Big ships’ chandler’s business he did once. Remember: rosiny ropes, ships’ lanterns. Failed to the tune of ten thousand pounds. Now in the Iveagh home. Cubicle number so and so. Number one Bass did that for him.

You don’t land the Hindenburg overnight.

A mob of redneck terrorists broke into our seat of government trying to overturn our votes, and they were all pardoned eventually, and the leader of the insurrection was installed into power again, but hey that’s just politics, right?

Laugh at the bullshit. Announce that this is bullshit with your laughter.

If you turn on transgender people in order to "win," that means you can't be trusted to represent any of us in Congress. You're just a Manchin or Fetterman, a useless piece of shit.

Well, I guess we can cross Iowa off our list. Thanks a lot, creep. #Turek

So you have in your hand a racket, A tennis-ball in your cod-placket, A Pandect law in your cap’s tippet, And that you have the skill to trip it In a low dance, you will b’ allowed The grant of the licentiate’s hood.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, and how could I?

Doughy pantload Jonah Goldberg’s book Liberal Fascism has a lot to answer for, giving millions of illiterate shitbirds the idea that Hitler was left wing.

The doctrines of Rove & Gingrich became Republican sacred scripture, and a generation of GOP politicians believe that anything is justified to win elections. Anything. That's why they didn't hesitate to try to overturn the 2020 presidential results. It didn't even occur to them that it was wrong.

I can’t help it, but except for the rare protestor, I hate the people standing behind Shitler at his rallies. I mean, I really hate them and hope they get ass cancer.

Under an illegitmate president, all the appointments, orders, and pardons are illegitimate.

ICE is an ideologically-driven jobs program for men willing to engage in violence on behalf of their authoritarian employer and it would help to view them as a state-sponsored paramilitary militia. And that's probably something to keep in mind as the economy is being imploded.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social

The conservative movement has loudly complained about liberalism throughout my lifetime. Now after decades of struggle, the right has returned the nation to its core Confederate values of racial heirarchy, graft, and freedom for faith-centered rapists.

There's an army of Republican operatives that are paid to spend every hour of every day coming up with ways to fuck things up.

Ben Dollard’s voice. Base barreltone. Doing his level best to say it. Croak of vast manless moonless womoonless marsh. Other comedown.

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them

Students at Cornell put up these signs around campus. This is what I mean by society is who has to change the definition of justice.

They’ve terrorized us for ten years. It’s taken a toll. I’m not OK with anyone dismissing that. Those who have felt fine through all this are pod people themselves, or else just dim.

I'd like to invite you to read my latest on Substack, in which I discuss the subjectivity of human experience, and how, in knowing we will never understand another's, we can be more compassionate and kind. #philsky #writer cmblack.substack.com/p/walking-in...

“Remember, our goal isn’t simply to defeat evil. It’s to defeat evil in a way that won’t force us to then listen to the people who helped us win.”

Democrats won, Democrats lost. Republicans won, Republicans lost. Until this tinpot fascist lost an election, this republic and our ability to select our own government was presumed. It was the cornerstone. Now we no longer believe in our own process. He is destroying our democracy. With intent.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

You realize that the death threats don't just come from random Trump followers. They are coordinated by the regime.

The voice of dark age, of unlove, earth’s fatigue made grave approach and painful, come from afar, from hoary mountains, called on good men and true. The priest he sought. With him would he speak a word. Tap.
