Ewwwww!

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

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."

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

So I guess he wasn’t watching Kid Rock then…

👏👏👏👏👏

Another civilian gunned down by federal agents in Minneapolis, the day after several Democrats, including moderate media darlings, voted to give ICE another $10 billion.

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

This Washingtonian piece about the Washington Opera leaving the Kennedy Center after 50 years (!) really digs into the details

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Everybody this morning.

Not even "bending the truth" or "truthiness". Just straight up lying.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Everything about this post and the comments is wonderful. There are good people out there. We aren’t all doomed.

Tried to get her pro-Palestinian teachers fired while in college. Left the NYT in a huff claiming bullying because her coworkers told her to stop live streaming their internal Slack conversations. And she’s rewarded with one of the crown jewels of media. We are living in absolute bullshit times

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

1. Jimmy Kimmel: “The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke. He was somehow able to squeeze Colbert out of CBS...

“What’s your job? Trauma Warrior?” Points for that one! But jokes aside, this is horrifying. What is our breaking point? When does this end?

Mamdani understands that despite the huge population, NYCers are a tight knit community who love the city as much as he does. I don’t think all his ideas will work. But I like that he will at least try instead of giving up and going back to harassing his female staff or booking flights to Istanbul

The crowd at Stop One of the Mamdani scavenger hunt!

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

Fantastic!

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

What a fragile little wuss!

Whereas some people feel this is a result of political pressure, there’s a big part of me who believes this is merely permission to do what these institutions have always wanted to do anyway.

Dr. Frankenstein trying to control his monster

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is also an NYC Mayoral candidate, is held back by authorities as he tries to approach President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan. This is in Albany. (Video: Bill Mahoney)

You're going to be tempted to engage in discourse focused on what Mahmoud Khalil said--was it actually antisemitic? Did he endorse Hamas?--and I cannot encourage you enough not to do that. It just doesn't matter what he said because you should not be detained and deported over what you say, period.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

Dammit, NRCC! Don’t make me have to defend my congressman. I live in his district and have my issues. But I will be damned if others malign him with completely false statements like this. He’s a proud immigrant who worked hard to become a US citizen and US congressman. God, you guys suck so hard!

May this man never know a moment's peace ever again, and on his deathbed only feel shame and disgrace for his cowardice.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt
