Rightwing politics is a smash and grab operation. Crude, violent rhetoric to get attention. Grandiose promises. Chest-pounding to convey energy. Menacing the polls. Once elected, bullying and defiance of all restraint in order to hold power. People are sick of it.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

Netanyahu called me a liar when settlers detained me, along with a NYT photographer, in Zanuta this past July. Now, he is calling a Washington Post photographer a liar. Netanyahu, you are the liar with the blood of Palestinian children on your hands.

Saturday early voting today for those of us in the great state of Georgia. I’ve never said this before, but if you care about your country now is the time to vote for a straight democratic ticket to send a message to the extremist, authoritarian Republican Party.

Happy Pride month to those who celebrate, those who aren’t quite ready to celebrate, and those who support. 🌈 To everyone else, I hope a thousand birds shit on your car.

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

Expect to see this happen more and more. The people pushing these centers do not care about you or your community. They will extract and break the law until the AI bubble bursts. The faster that happens, the better for everyone. Do not engage with AI content, let it all die .

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."

There’s a lot of time to go and I just don’t see how the GOP can recover. This could get worse for them as time goes on, but I still have no doubt that the current Trump-structure of the party will make them behave like cornered wild animals.

"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians" "Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."

The government SHOULD be picking winners and losers The PEOPLE should be the winners, and all forces to control them, deceive them, and hurt them should be the LOSERS. Unfortunately, AI is being implemented and controlled by people who want to subjugate and decimate the American people.

Ted Cruz: "I'll confess -- I have not seen a basis laid out for why the government would be prohibited from using Anthropic. Claude is one of the many AI tools that can be very helpful ... I don't think government should be picking winners and losers"

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Just remember this goes hand in hand with the Rights insistence on calling all undocumented (and most legal) immigrants savages, rapists, murderers, etc. They don’t believe people should have human rights when they cross imaginary lines without telling daddy government. This is beyond the pale

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."

“We Social Democrats know that one cannot undo the facts of power politics with mere legal protests. We see the power-political fact of your present rule. But the people’s sense of justice is also a political power, and we shall not cease to appeal to this sense of justice.” -Otto Wels, 1933

They thought that they could change the culture. They didn’t know how right they were, just not in the way they thought. I have no delusions that conservatives won’t win power once again at some point in the future, but they have done real damage to their long term ambitions.

NEW YouGov poll: Abolishing ICE is now at a *record high* level of support in the United States 50% support 39% oppose Independents are now +17 on abolishing ICE Moderates +6 23% of Republicans now support abolishing ICE

Just watched Hannah Spencer’s victory speech. Working class candidates take note, you don’t have to be some polished, hyper-trained speaker to connect with the voters and tell a genuine story about what it means to stand up to hate and its catalyst; capitalism

I’m gonna catch shit for this, but FL democratic voters should vote in the GOP primary for Fishback. He’s the most beatable candidate in the general and he will move the conversation on Palestine more than possibly any other candidate in history. NOT AN ENDORSEMENT HES A CREEP

When ein Dummkopf starts going on about some nationalismus bs whining about one of their little fascists getting what’s coming to them and you gotta hit them with that Thalmann stare

No chance Mike Johnson stays on as leader after the Rs lose the house. He will be eaten alive from his right and will get so support from his left. He will go down in history as the worst speaker of the house in modern times

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

“Local control” goes back to the liberal defense of backing off from busing

Alex Bollinger@alexbollinger.bsky.social

he said last year that questions about sports participation should be left to local school districts and sports organizations, not the federal government. this is always the thing they bring up to show how transphobic he is, that he should be pushing for federal rules on sports.

LOL all of the handwringing from right wingers about how “actually it’s different when we do it”, guess what your own president doesn’t think so!

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."
