It’s no accident this iteration of fascism has most explicitly targeted trans people, immigrants, Muslims, pro-Palestine protesters… all marginalized groups MAGA can trust certain Dems/centrists to withhold solidarity from / throw under the bus

Checking in on Hunter Biden, who everyone on Bluesky was telling me was a funny and cool guy a couple months ago.

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

Rahm Emanuel, who has about a good a chance of being president as I do, has been profiled like 9 times in the last couple months in major newspapers. It really shows you how profoundly out of touch the people are that drive much of our national political discourse.

I love how Werner Herzog is ALWAYS like this:

i'm not kidding about this. bring me nurses and teachers who aren't afraid to read laws as they are written.

no more lawyers. those perverts have done enough damage.

the moderate democratic position on Gaza is that if Israel’s opponents do not comport themselves perfectly, if they don’t dance flawlessly through the rhetorical minefields every day, then it’s dead children forever.

Data-center Popularity Check: Jason Kelce wants you to send them your piss jar. @billboard.com www.billboard.com/culture/life...

this is like something that would happen to Tracy Jordan

imagine a future where *we* appropriate the vicious symbolism of ICE in a merciless crack-down billionaires and the MAGA class: fancy production value videos of bashing down their fancy doors, slapping bags over their spray-tanned heads, black helicopters, shattered ugly gold homewares, etc etc

Also like people give you credit for - trying, succeeding, bragging about it - trying, failing because of some asshole, yelling at that asshole They don't give you credit for giving up on something because it's unfeasible or quietly doing something they don't notice

You know... I think maybe it's actually a bad thing to elect people willing to do that kinda stuff. Either they're lying in the primary about their opponent or lying after about them when they flip 180 after. Maybe it's a bad thing for us to excuse that sort of deceptive behavior at all.

you're going to have to go back to offering an affirmative vision and it cannot be the one where a wealthy donor class rules over us like feudal warlords. we cannot allow this to happen any more. we are past the breaking point. they broke it

One important way of doing this is going to be shrinking our global military footprint in a big way. Which brings me to my proposal: end CENTCOM's entire presence within the first 100 days.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Tangentially I think a Democrat running as like an actual Stalin against Republicans (disappearances, show trials, reeducation camps) would also perform well

holy moly @hausofdecline.bsky.social in @inthesetimes.com ???

Please do cry for me Argentina

Saddened to hear my good friend the Finger Taker has passed away. I never agreed with him about amputating people's fingers in his dungeon, but I'll always remember the collegial good times, and most of all his great sense of humor. What laughs we had. Condolences to Ginny and his whole family.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

People are really good at not understanding something simple when they want to argue

I don’t care what anyone says. I’m still voting for Mitch McConnell!

I'm torn, because I've always secretly hoped for a war against Belgium but not like this. Never like this.

the elites and apparatchiks across the ideological spectrum agree on exactly one thing: fuck all of you. get in line. eat the shit that is shoveled to you. if you're going to make "defense of democracy" your sole value proposition you should probably not be so nakedly undemocratic

You already got your renewed Camelot buddy. Most powerful Kennedy in office in many years married to a TV star and he’s busy mixing dog cum with chia seeds to “see what grows.”

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

“Crockett doesn’t owe Talarico anything” “RBG didn’t need to retire, she didn’t owe Americans anything” treating political power like a matter of personal expression is a recipe for idiotic strategy that just helps republicans

The prize for being the richest person in the world at the end of each calendar year should be 100% confiscation of all assets and living out the rest of your life in a dungeon. Good healthy reverse-incentive.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

These past few years have for me put an end to the 'Won't that make you just as bad as them?' argument. No, they're worse, we'll get over it.

the vibecession guys know about this, mostly advocated for it at the time, and are deeply invested in no one remembering that it happened lol

lmao

happy memorial day to the post of all time
