Absolutely vile. Un-fucking-acceptable

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

you know what they always say: pedo wife, pedo life

Despite all of the dystopia lately, this somehow feels like one of the most dystopian. www.ktvb.com/mobile/artic...

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

Nice to see @nytpitchbot.bsky.social writing real headlines

elon musk’s body count will end up being higher than most wars and most of the worst most oppressive regimes in history

if there was legislation that, e.g., failed to protect trans athletes while protecting trans rights in other respects, THEN you can try to have a conversation about compromise. but ceding the issue without getting anything in return isn’t compromise, you’re just losing.

mamdani's win has made the ny times, the washington post, fox news, trump, third way, and the democratic establishment very mad excellent.

This cannot be real, right? Like, there’s no fucking way they spent time and energy to change the fucking name of the bill, right?? Right???

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

If reactionaries had a ‘let’s elect more republicans’ mindset in the 70s, everyone could still get safe and legal abortions.

the american constitution does not deal in minutiae. it speaks in generalities with the aim of establishing a limited government of enumerated powers. it is an analytical mistake to treat textual ambiguities as license to ignore that intent or the stated intent of specific provisions. (3)

I student taught government last semester in a small town that went Trump 85%. Even the overtly-MAGA students had positive things to say about Bernie (opposed to Harris or any other national Dem). A bold vision is WAY more captivating than a ‘consensus-building moderate.’ Especially in red America!!

Trump impeaching Roberts would be the funniest coda to his stint as chief justice

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy… These dems own it. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters

Nobody seems to have any idea who the men who detained her are The sheriff was apparently in attendence and did nothing. Maybe they were his guys. Maybe not. Maybe it doesn't matter anymore

im sorry but if you’re looking at everything that’s happened in the last 2 weeks and lined up for the next few months and are thinking about the midterms, you are not a serious person imo. there is a constitutional crisis *right now* and multiple humanitarian crises on tap! wake the fuck up

Maybe he just has an appreciation for design and architecture

"Jesus take the wheel" was not the political strategy I was looking for from the Democratic leader in the House.

My first reaction was a new lesson teaching types of government: in small groups students make venn diagrams comparing their experiences living under a democracy and autocracy before doing a gallery walk and reading their peers’ experiences. Then direct teach oligarchies and theocracies.

Less pithily, it is one part of an ongoing insurrectionist movement to strengthen authoritarianism in the United States by demonstrating there is no real cost for pro-Trump political violence. bsky.app/profile/past...

An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.

Incredible how thoroughly Democrats got played here. Spent four years following through on a Trump executive order, pissed away any shot at building a real youth coalition for 2024 by alienating literally every teenager in America, lost the election, and now Trump gets to "save" TikTok. Clown shit.

Thomas, leaning forward so fast he bumps his mic and knocks it over: no it’s so much more than that

Apparently there’s nothing wrong with deadnaming a trans person but the moment you call it Twitter instead of X all hell breaks loose.

there’s an academic debate about whether Trump is a fascist, and a big sticking point was that he didn’t espouse any grand imperial ambitions. very kind of him to fully resolve that tension by talking about annexing half the western hemisphere.

Why we Democrats should vote for Mike Johnson today. by Ro Khanna

Don’t let this be you: listen to 5-4

Times have been tough in this Judean town ever since the Romans shut down the old myrrh factory. So when Jesus promised everyone eternal life, they finally had something to cheer about. But then the woke mob crucified him.

Gerry's a young 74, cancer notwithstanding

don't know if he'll follow through on this but if he did it's part and parcel with ending fair elections

legitimately the judges they confirmed are by and large great. and also touting this is a bit like talking about how many aspirins you gave someone and how many bandaids you put on their wounds when they had two limbs crushed and are bleeding out, minutes from death

Mind-numbing layers of incompetence

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

mid december 2024: kendrick lamar releases a new single about how the gen z united healthcare assassin should get drake next mid january 2025: drake attempts to get a restraining order against kendrick lamar

This is definitely one of those situations where the lid has come off the boiling pot and the elites are shitting themselves. Democrats SHOULD seize this as an opportunity to channel reform, instead they're too busy giving hand jobs to Musk and Ramaswamy

it's really not that complicated. centralize planning and approval, use standard designs that are as simple as possible, and get it done quick. so basically the exact opposite of how it works here

Nothing gives me more stability or reassurance in my beliefs than always disagreeing with the dumbest fucking loser the pundit world has ever spit out.
