“An addled king so addicted to the sound of his own voice that he is struck by lightning while giving an ill-advised speech during a thunderstorm” is the kind of hack writing you’d find in discarded drafts written by George Lucas

this fountain thing is really something. it's like something that lady would make up about north korea. it just somehow gets worse. arresting people for algae terrorism. this is the stuff of literal legend

Lol that's awesome

Libs just cannot imagine something being tacky without associating it with poor people even when it’s the richest people in the world.

What if we just believed young people when they say it’s because of climate change and being broke?

Alejandro is a high school student in San Antonio. He was on his way to a soccer game when ICE surrounded his home and took him and his father. They have been locked away for over 3 weeks at the Dilley trailer prison. He missed his last days of 10th grade.

“the president was loudly booed in the countrys most populous city we traveled to this small town in south dakota to find out why”

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

The GOP tried a hundred times to repeal Obamacare, knowing they never would succeed, but they knew it (1) gave them a platform every time to push their narrative that healthcare=death panels and (2) showed their base “we are fighting for you!” The Dem version is “sorry, won’t succeed, won’t try.”

Imagine 20 years ago being told that one day Donald Trump would be president but his spirit would finally be broken by Bret Michaels of Poison pulling out of the Donald Trump UFC Cage Fighting Freedom Festival.

whatever the republican candidate says is always "front and center" in any given american political race.

If that were the case, the manosphere toxic masculinity crew wouldn't have backed fat-kid debate club nerd JD Vance over *literal football coach and military officer* Tim Walz. But it's not about that! It's about bullying people into doing what you want them to do.

The only characteristic of Trump that I find personally relatable is his extreme contempt for evangelicals that support Trump

People who think Democrats are too woke and radical now control all three branches of government, the institutional apparatus of the Democratic Party and all major media outlets. Stop fucking congratulating each other for saying it!

If you thought elaborately faking being good at videogames to impress a bunch of manchildren was embarrassing, consider elaborately faking that your mother loves you.

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

A low-grade irritation in the shift in body politics in recent years: a resurgence of thin women posting mirror selfies captioned "and the BMI says this is overweight." The point they are making isn't liberatory, it's anti-fat. It's "the BMI is bad because it categorizes some thin people as fat."

Lmao ok girl go destroy Aetna

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

So, instead, we get endless made-up bullshit stories about poor little Okies in Michigan or Kentucky upset about the factory jobs going away under Nixon and Hillary Clinton doing Tumblrspeak so we don’t have to acknowledge that “para continuar en Español, oprima 2” made them crash out genocidally

Why the fuck is everyone arguing about showing up early to the airport or not? #airport

Centrist Dems won’t shut up about how we’re too mean and condescending to Trump voters and how electoral expediency requires us to welcome them back into the fold. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not, but it’s bizarre not to extend the same argument to people who already vote for you.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

evangelicals eagerly, gleefully pretended not to see the myriad ways trump is the most heretical politician to hold american higher office in modern history so i don't think we should take their outrage as sincere now that they need a way out of his sinking coalition

“lmao i’m not in a cult, bro, I’ve just got all these pics saved of my favorite politician as Jesus because it offends the libs! lol they hate my many private AI photos of him as a jacked god. I’ve also got his name on most of my clothes and my car and in every room of my house”

Lmao

Every time I remember the US is bombing fishing boats in the Carribbean to create snuff films for their unwashed Nazi fanbase on twitter I feel more rage calcifying in my soul

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

you ever think about how fucked we'd be if this was happening when Donald Trump was 59 instead of when he's 79?
