Although I had hated him before, this was the day I decided to devote my life to abhorring the idiotic, shit-filled monstrosity of a 'human being' that the Republican Party has set as its leader and standard-bearer for the past 12 years.

Eight years ago today, we suffered the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history when a killer entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh while people prayed and murdered 11 of our neighbors.

Suck ass, The Economist

The language they use is so glorifying to white people: People who travelled to America last century for opportunity and freedom = "Christian pilgrims" People who continue to travel to America for opportunity and freedom = undocumented thieves, terrorists, etc.

Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social

Here's Mary Ann Lynch popping up for a 'woman on the street' quote in an LA Times piece on Susan Collins in 2020. The unavoidable inference is that legacy media outlets let the Collins campaign choose who gets quoted in their stories. PR masquerading as journalism. Unforgivable. #MEpolitics

I will never forget how every Trump voter stayed a Trump voter until they themselves were the next victims of his policies, until then, they cheered him on. The most selfish people EVER. Me, me, me, & what about me 24-7

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Not this c*nt again... After getting the Brexit he pushed for, he shifted chunks of his UK businesses over to the EU - plus himself to low tax Monaco. If everyone damaged the UK like that faketriot, we really would be f*cked. Surprised he's not relocated Man U to Europe yet.

It's hysterical to watch The Washington Post continue to wash Trump's balls even after he takes away their press access. Jfc, have some self-respect, dudes.

Michelangelo Signorile@msignorile.bsky.social

More sane-washing of Trump by unnamed advisors via an accommodating Wash Post. “‘He definitely feels like some of his decisions have led to the dynamics where he’s unpopular and things aren’t looking great for the midterms,’ one of the people said.” LOL. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

This is an absolutely insane lie. His whole story about this today is a lie. I know he's lied about his non-role in 9/11 rescue/recovery before, but never this level of detail. Just total fantasy. Utterly disgraceful. Next he will claim he won the Medal of Honor. www.threads.com/share/_1TKI7...

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

In other words, Platner is willing to hand the seat to Republicans if he isn't allowed to pick the next candidate. Which is exactly why he was unsuitable from the start.

An indisputable indicator of media bias is that for the last 11 years almost every story about Democrats in the mainstream media has been told from the POV of what Trump and Republicans say about them

Boycott Uline, a shipping supplies company owned by the Uihlein family. When you buy their products, you're financing right-wing cruelty and corruption.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

It’s a common theme across the intellectual Right that they’re apolitical and misunderstood by leftist ideologues. In my field, the big edu-Right writers attack their critics as “ideological” while seeing themselves as the true protectors of kids and schools.
