Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

you have a situation where instead of swing voters making decisions informed at least partly by eg, the local newspaper they glance at occasionally, it's entirely delirious lunatics on TikTok

i'm reminded that when "social media" started it was called "social networking," and i'd always thought the shift was arbitrary. but i recently realized it's because networking is concrete, it's a direct method for forming relationships. media is definitionally an abstraction of reality.

Stavros Halkias: I don't wanna do the both sides bullshit because it's not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare. A lot of stand up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...

I would really appreciate it if supporters would go out with some measuring sticks and measure the actual height of the pool, make a big scene of it, get surveyors and shit there with all their gear. Is it even above sea level? #howtallisit

Trump on the reflecting pool: "It's taller than any building in the world, actually. It's like twice the height of the Empire State Building." (The reflecting pool is in fact flat ... )

McGovern: Can you explain what is happening with the Iran war powers resolution that was scheduled to be voted on this evening? Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars?

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

YouTube has removed The Ship of Theseus for containing "violent graphic content," with the offending images including a screenshot from the music video for "California" by Wax and a drawing is Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx.

This is Trump talking about hating Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, etc. for not liking his war on Iran. When they call I say I’m too busy on the country, he says. I can’t answer the phone Tucker because I’m WORKING ON THE COUNTRY
