Miss Viola Swamp

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

I understand the skepticism but what we should be asking ourselves right now is how to make sure this moment isn’t fleeting and do the work to make some of the shifts in thinking last. The dems and technocrats are so deeply committed to the status quo, it’s our job to counter that.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

Alabama, Georgia, and Texas all taking L’s on the same day - 1865 is back baby

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

More people showed up to No Kings rallies than today's Trump rally in Kentucky

Raffi knows what’s up.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

we saw you from across the bar and we really liked your vibe

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

STOP LETTING JD VANCE MEET POPES

NEW EVENT! Sorry to yell, but we're excited. Relaxing fun doodling with peeps. Tuesday @ 6:00PM

This is a terror campaign against tribal sovereignty. www.propublica.org/article/toho...

one thing i've learned: if you keep telling ppl how super intelligent you are, they believe you.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

the tech industry is about to invent books

good morning, from gen x america.

Daragh Fleming gets the last word tonight. Good night friends. "Men being silent needs to stop. Silence is enforced by shame. You’re shamed for speaking, calling problematic behaviour out. We need to call out other men who are saying fucked up shit."

Hahahaha they were so sure they were holding aces. You’ll never find a dumber or more incompetent bunch of fuckups.

"Vote for James Talarico. He has *one* house."

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

When you're out of bombs and the bomb guy at the bomb factory tells you they're backordered until first week of November:

Crazy how this company keeps actually doing the things the government accuses me of doing and yet I'm the one they are insisting is a criminal

Instead of interviewing people who were wrong about every moral issue who then pretend to say "sorry," maybe we should interview people who were right. You learned more facts about the world from Rage Against the Machine records than from Carlson's show—where's my NPR sitdown with Zach de la Rocha?

So, to recap…Tommy Tuberville believes that a good majority of airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are furries, is terrified by that thought, but still couldn’t care less about the billionaires in the Epstein files who are controlling the White House.

I mean, he has a point in that dear leader could have us all annihilated due to his demented incompetence, thereby having the problems caused by President fuck face eliminated. That almost seems like a win at this point lol
