Elon Musk knows that tribalism and splitting us up according to our most superficial differences is the key to maintain his massive wealth. As long as we're fighting each other, we won't fight against him.

Keenan and Kel are looking for business ventures eh. Hmm..... if only there were an obvious one. something like a burger joint...........

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Wait, you can do that?! Just... tax rich people more?! And cut unnecessary police overtime? And then you get to have libraries and schools and parks? And record low crime? And city services that work?

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

The USPS can't "run out of money," the sole question is the people in charge of the federal government believe delivering mail is worth funding the same way they already fund armed kidnapping gangs, concentration camps, and blowing up girls' schools.

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "I love working for President Trump. It's the greatest honor of a lifetime. And if President Trump chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I'll say, 'Thank you very much, I love you, sir.'"

I'm not sure there's a single trait in rulers that is more universally criticized in the canon of western political thought that susceptibility to flattery. The favorite president of west coast Straussians and various other avowed Western Civilization Defenders *brags* about it.

Trump: “We’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people. I couldn’t care less, I’ll fight to the end for them.”

This kind of explicit gutter racism goes beyond what Buckley would have been willing to publish in his pro-Jim Crow days

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

so you're telling me we can revisit characters from Tarantino movies and we never found out what happened to Samuel L Jackson's character from pulp fiction???

just think how cool it would've been if they'd just done like, Hogwarts: The New Class. basically just a Cursed Child tv show. that would've ruled. bring back all the legacy cast. why didn't they do that
