"They All Hate Each Other And None of Them Can Read" will be the the title of the defenitve book about this era

It’s going to be interesting to watch many Americans come to terms with the fact that Netanyahu is not The Only Problem

The other thing about this is that in addition to the basic dishonesty, Jolene Riessen et al will always say shit like "I don't see Democrats doing me any favors" and then you'll look back and see stuff like "Joe Biden personally authorized the Free Money For Corn Farmers Initiative in 2022"

Congress must reclaim our authority and hold the administration accountable!

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.

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Hakeem Jefferies🤡. Jking🤣

The thing with the billionaires is they won’t fucking leave us alone. It would be one thing if they made some product or service, fucked off, paid their bills and paid for rivers of cocaine or gold covered loincloths or whatever. But they insist society be structured around their every whim.

I just early voted in Missouri. Democrats downballot. I did not mark uncontested races. Not one Republican will get my vote, even if they are the only choice. And remember: Yes on 6. The rest are tricks.

JD Vance is such a breathtakingly bad public speaker--and person.

Not quoting me is a personal choice. I think it's a bad choice when it's something I wrote about extensively, but not a big deal. However, stripping whole lines out of my books -- mining my books for parts, if you would -- and then pretending you wrote them is not a good choice. It's plagiarism.

Norse paganism has to be the horseshoe theory of religions. Like, you see someone into that sort of thing and it's either the wokest person you'll ever meet or one of JD Vance's staffers.

We now know that Crawford in fact likes the fascists and wants them to win. That's better than believing, as many Americans tend to do, that journalists at mainstream outlets are at least trying to be "impartial," and thus are taken them more seriously when they champion fascism.

Ironic comment, because it represents a child’s understanding of what I am talking about. Pundit-brain nonsense, incapable of viewing anything except through the lens of elections. void of discernment, emptied of any moral sense, curdled value-free cynicism, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

first of all, maybe read all these other replies thrice if you're going to demand people review your nonsense, as if it clears itself up "pro-abortion" doesn't mean that you're an abortion sales person, convincing pregnant people to not try to have a baby it means you support essential healthcare

That isn't an alternative. That is their job.

Racism as an idea... kinda dumb Racism as a feasible functional praxis? a disaster

Every day it's another story about a farmer that voted for trump 3 times and can't afford fertilizer because fertilizer is imported by the brownies congratulations ... welcome to the economy

Watch this discussion between @markjacob.bsky.social and NYT editor Patrick Healy where Jacob calls out the paper for this type of obfuscation and soft-peddling language, and Healy expressly defends it:

this should be her only campaign ad

TackleFootballShow but not about Tackle Football…. @minakimes.bsky.social

Not that it really matters but lol at the final 3 MLB teams being Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay going into an off-season where the corporate media will deluge fans with "the owners have to do a lockout so small markets can compete!" propaganda.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

What could a tank of gas cost, Michael? $10?

"it is unclear whether the administration has any ongoing role in ensuring the terms of the deal are upheld." the Trump administration basically stole most of TikTok and offloaded it to his billionaire friends under the pretense of privacy and national security, and the democrats helped

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...
