The next D administration absolutely needs to replicate this with the red states In a Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma, "tit for tat" is the only response that restores long-run cooperative equilibrium

Cops are great And guillotines are the moderate solution

Eris living her best life

Cops are great Also: guillotines are the moderate solution

"Guillotines" as @gregdoucette.bsky.social says.

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE. It’s time to cancel your account.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Trump’s awful but it’s important to note he’d be different and potentially less harmful kinds of awful if he weren’t advised and manipulated by some of the most evil people in American history.

Again Bouie from the top rope

For the record, the local police had to arrive to free the girl from … the federal police. This is horrific. It’s undeniable that we will need trials for ICE officials and officers after all this. “Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.”

And then there’s this fucking guy, bravely avoiding any conflict or sense of duty to the American public. YOU CAN’T HAVE BIPARTISANSHIP IF THE OTHER SIDE’S STATED GOAL IS TO ERADICATE YOU FROM SOCIETY YOU STUPID BINCH

I just really think we, as a people, should just start calling Brendan Carr, Brandon Carr, or some slight/minor variation. Similar to the weratedogs account…

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

And of course the people most responsible will be least affected.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

here's Elon Musk's dad going 100% mask-off on the entire white South African racist colonialist package and saying "Elon agrees with me" EXTREME ANTI-BLACK RACISM CONTENT WARNING www.mundoamerica.com/news/2025/09...

Yeah, there's already enough to see this will be a deep rabbit hole of brainrot, irony, and nihilism. We'll undoubtedly learn he spent time on 4chan and so forth, but this person is not going to have what the rest of us would consider a coherent political ideology.

Really looking forward to the retraction posts about the gunman being a trans leftist…

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

If you are praying that Dems take back the house next year you should also feel preemptive horror that the man tasked with implementing that victory is Hakeem Jeffries

This. No line on a map or piece of cloth flown by bitter old men should come before feeding children and breaking bread in peace around a common table. The world is big enough for all of us if we let got of hostility and embrace common humanity.

I’m sorry — *Cracker Barrel* is too woke for the Trump administration? Cracker Barrel?!?

imo the answer is pretty clearly no, which is why I roll my eyes at all the breathless predictions of “AGI” within the next couple of years maybe someday we will build something that can “think” like a person but it won’t be an LLM

For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics because they think this makes them noble.

It’s a concentration camp and they plan on killing people there.

Is it hockey season yet?

This this this this this. Do not give this camp a cutesy name. Do not let the people who created it shape the narrative around it.

I think the objections to Mike's point here illustrate just how bad humans are with big numbers. And it's not your fault; this is a hangover from the monkey-brain era earlier in our development, but let me explain why even smart people get defeated by big numbers.

remember how with Uvalde the day-of actions by the people supposed to act in a crisis kept looking worse and worse and worse and worse the more we learned?

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

MSNBC is doing a disservice to American Jews by allowing Jonathan Greenblatt to continually appear on Morning Joe and pretend he speaks for us when he’s nothing more than a MAGA suit.

Every one of these deaths is on the hands of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. History should never forget.

Don’t know what’s dumber: The fact that this would have been 4.5 years before Twitter ever started OR The fact that Zohran Mamdani was 9 years old at the time of 9/11

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Mason Marchment? Really? Because we didn’t spend enough time in the penalty box last season?

Hint for Democratic lawmakers from your voters: We want you to vote NAY on everything the GOP wants. E V E R Y T H I N G

to what? an immigrant?
