So this is the gyre

I am only taking every fourth or fifth opportunity I see you on here to say again please dear god OnionWars. Please.

it's also like, let's be clear, protocols-level antisemitism put on broadcast tv by a drug-addled billionaire "that's just america now apparently"

The way trans peoples' lives have been turned into a malicious political applause line is excruciating "Bill goes to school & comes home Jill"—no, but Bill's family had to flee to another state bc B/Jill faces daily violence & bullying by kids & adults LOL PLS CLAP My trans siblings I'm so sorry ❤️

El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

The leader of the Republican Party supports murderous anti-American war criminal Vladimir Putin. Will Republican candidates be repeatedly asked if they denounce Putin? The Republican Party's biggest donor also boosts a German Neo-Nazi party. Will Republican candidates be asked if they denounce AfD?

The last two years of this administration are going to be a blood bath and the only thing to debate is how much of it will be literal and how much will be figurative. Sigh.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Holy cow the schools are changing the sex of American kids in school? And thought they went to school to just get shot.

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

"Did you know in France it's called a Royale With Cheese?"

BREAKING: President Trump cancelled the Pentagon's planned livestream of a firing squad execution after nationwide backlash. Everyone who spoke out and pressured the administration to reverse course made a difference. But enough is enough — it's time to end the death penalty entirely.

Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

"When someone is gang-raped, there appears to be something to defend, and it’s not bodily autonomy; there appears to be something to protect, and it’s not the victim." Life in this predator's paradise and the problem of shameless people. www.the-reframe.com/the-good-guys/

my first question for every 2028 candidate: what will you do to stephen miller?

The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence

People should dox people doing the chop. Put a dozen stop motion pictures of them up at their cubicle with their arm in movement when you flip the pictures fast

"holistic influencer"

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

F*cking hilarious. Like listening to Hitler joking with Heydrich about Zyklon B not working.

beast mode

None of us can top E.B. White on this argument

Hey its fucking wierd more of the dems platform isnt "we will give you abortion rights back"

Ok, here's a compromise: Print out the unredacted Epstein Files and tape them to the Kennedy Center. Boom! His name will be all over the place.

If Trump really wants his name on The Kennedy Center he should try earning it the way Kennedy did.

I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:

Now is a good time for you to sign the petition demanding that the criminal who conspired to endanger first responders, and supported insurrection and election denial, be prohibited from attending 9/11 observances and disrespecting survivors and the city: c.org/DWLWktyGcj

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

what if Canada just declared this America's flag, and started using it on their literature and websites

When this nation’s first president chopped down one cherry tree, he was honest and contrite. When the current president chopped down a slew of cherry trees, he did so in violation of a court order—and didn’t give a shit.

The vast majority of Democrats have no idea who Hassan Piker is. Here's why they need to denounce him anyway.

Ted didn’t notice the name of the account who posted this Dolly clip he retweeted until it was much too late. He finally deleted it after he was made aware.

Trans youth deserve the freedom to be themselves.

Liberals say that the leader of our democracy should not be controlled by a 35-year-old stalker with no security clearance. They’re wrong— the leader of our republic should not be controlled by a 35-year-old stalker with no security clearance

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

DO 👏 NOT 👏 BOTHER 👏 ME 👏 UNTIL 👏 HE'S 👏 FUCKING 👏 DEAD

If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.

You cannot appeal to rigorous academic standards and argue for the inclusion of racist pseudoscience, the most fallacious, damaging, and discredited idea of the past 500 years. You might as well teach doctors to recognize the four humors.

1. Lately, I have been thinking about Pat Robertson. Yes, the very same. The late televangelist was in the habit of accusing America of falling away from the straight and narrow when there was a natural disaster. Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods – these were God's punishment, he would say. For what?
