She/her…but N.B.: I am NB, also AuDHD
it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
And I bet at the meeting someone in the back sheepishly raised their hand and said hey do you think we could also get some B-roll of him wandering around aimlessly offstage like an escaped mental patient, and boy were they relieved when the strategist said yeah sure let's do it
I want to meet the Republican political strategist who got all the important people in Washington together a few weeks ago and said okay everybody we're just going to send him out there to hallucinate in public, tell racist jokes, and talk about how hot he thinks certain guys are
Some thoughts on the whole Roger Marshall suing delinquent obstetrical patients in Kansas thing: apparently he sued 700 patients. How many patients does he have total? 700 seems like an awful lot of patients to be delinquent simultaneously. This begs the question:
Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."
“Sir, we are cratering in the polls, please try and not do anything nuts for the next month. Maybe on social, just keep it benign.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know. People like animals. A lot of people just post like cat videos and stuff.”
“Gotcha, say no more.”
Ah yes, I remember when Trotsky wrote about how Russian workers should be replaced by low wage immigrants from China so that strong Russian boys would have more time to play girls ice hockey.
It's right there in the manuscript.
Q: How do you define socialism personally?
JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager
Maybe if Trump could speak coherently and stop trying to justify his Iran War that raised prices on thousands of things for Americans with apocalyptic fear mongering and garbled syntax he wouldn’t have to worry about being misinterpreted or taken out of context.
Hey, Americans! Here’s a dark, ominous black-and-white advertisement showing your wildly unpopular president slowly waking along a hallway while scowling at you. It says nothing about the problems you’re facing. And you paid for the ad! Please definitely go vote Republican. You’re welcome!!
Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."
This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it.
It was effectively banned as it never aired again.
I wonder why.
MEDIA-OPOLY
hey guys, your favorite manosphere podcaster here and for todays episode we’re gonna spend 2 hours looking at pics of dudes and breaking down how masculine they are, but first we answer the age old question: how gay is it to buy flowers for a woman youre in a committed relationship with?
This is only the beginning.
He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight.
The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone.
Choose who you'll be in this moment.
This is how it is talking to EVERY Republican. They can’t stand on their own record, and they know it. All they can ever do is look backwards and attempt to throw shade.
GILLIBRAND: What is your record?! I don't want to just hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration
SCOTT TURNER: During the Biden administra--
GILLIBRAND: Stop talking about Biden! Talk about your record
TURNER: During the Biden administration--
GILLIBRAND: Oh my God!
I get it; Trump wants to fortify the bunker under the ballroom.
Look, Donald Trump and I are actually in total agreement that he should be allowed to have a deep underground place where nobody will have to worry about anyone hurting him ever again; we just disagree a little about the details.
What this screed proves to me is that Stephen Miller is so phenomenally upset by the idea of racial integration that he just had to pour this out of his rotten little soul so fast he didn’t have the time to make it sound like it came from Trump before he smashed the “post” button
"Which country in the Middle East has nuclear weapons? It's not Iran, it's Israel... Which country in the Middle East attacked six countries last year? It wasn't Iran, it was Israel."

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference
I don’t think it’s so much that he lost his mind, as we’ve finally found the mind he’s been trying to hide from all of us with varying degrees of success all these years.
It’s never been more clear that Donald Trump has completely lost his mind.
It’s our responsibility to call on Congress, the military, and any sane individual in this administration to stop him from committing war crimes against the Iranian people.
Trump's escalation from we're going to decimate them to we're going to destroy their country to we're going to wipe out their civilization seems to be classic escalatory behavior of an insane psychopath, no?
Genuinely, one of the best insights anyone has given me on the US is that the rest of the world does not understand it is actually two countries. The first is a Western advanced liberal democracy. The other a theocratic, impoverished, violent and corrupt third world country.
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.
The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases.

4. I know that saying “Praise be to Allah” on Easter Sunday is somewhat unconventional behavior for a sitting US president, but I guess you warned us about what might happen if we elected a guy who was caught celebrating on 9/11
Currently, Axios is pushing a narrative that there are some secret talks about a 45-day ceasefire between Wirkoff/Iran/allies — but in the article itself, it says “chances are slim” and nothing is confirmed.
Markets open soon. That’s all.
Meanwhile, Iran keeps tweeting ⬇️
(🧵) We're in Week 5 of Trump's 2-week non-war. If we give the non-war war 2-3 more weeks it'll wrap up "weeks" ahead of schedule. Trump destroyed 100% of the 1/3rd of Iran's Navy that's non-IRGC and 0.5% of Iran's Army—i.e. all of it. Its nuke program exists *and* doesn't. Questions?
Okay, let’s pretend the conspiracy theories are right: Trump died over the weekend and one of his underlings wrote an insane and reckless Truth Social post threatening Iran.
The BEST AND WORST SCENARIOS both mean the people who wrote that post are in charge of the country.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
