Trump’s always spoken the “language of the (white, aggrieved, & poorly educated) people.“ Most Americans don’t read much or well & don’t see Trump—or themselves— as incoherent. Their illiteracy meant they couldn’t read Project 2025 to save their lives. Welcome to the Republican States of America.

Also—and here I’m not subtweeting but … supertweeting? the whole media—I’d like those who are commenting for the networks to remember that once the polls close no candidate “gains” or “loses” ground. The moment the polls close someone won. We just have to count it. But I know:

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

• Ahmed Zewail (Egypt / US): Won 1999 Nobel Prize in #Chemistry • Nader Masmoudi (Tunisia): Won Fermat Prize in #mathematics • Abbas Bahri (Tunisia): also received the Fermat Prize • Sir Michael Atiyah (Lebanese descent / British): #mathematician who won both Fields Medal and Abel Prize.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

billionaires bought the news and this is what we get.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

festering piece of shit.

Post from GOP nominee for Florida state House seat, calling for “Remigration” (ethnic cleansing) & touting protests against “Sharia.” He was active w/ white supremacist group; marched at infamous Nazi rally in Charlottesville; advocated executing LGBTQ people No pushback from GOP. Expected to win

Eventually, so many people will say they never voted for Trump that their children and grandchildren will wonder how he got to be President twice.

This guy was President of hisCollege Republicans. Here he is opposing Sharia law! It is amazing how many stories of "ordinary Americans" are Republican political operatives

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

Ship captain here! 🚢 It takes roughly 5-10 minutes to turn a cruise ship 180 degrees when it is traveling at its typical cruising speed.

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

I really hope we get a Hobbesian treatment of the fake-ass estranged parent moral panic. In the meantime, I cannot recommend enough these essays on estranged parent forums. Read them all if you have the time, but if not, just read "The Missing Missing Reasons." issendai.com/psychology/e...

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Whether or not ppl cutting off their parents is an actual phenomenon (is it, really?) or just clicky outrage bait, anti-estrangement is a paternalistic, socially regressive position — it’s so similar to being anti-divorce that the two are virtually indistinguishable.

Not talking to your shitty parents appears to be working

Again, the scandalous thing about Elon Musk spending $276 million on the 2026 midterms is NOT how *much* money it is. The scandal is how *little* money this is *to him.* Compared to his net worth, this is roughly equal to the median American my age spending $40.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

NYC is going to put $500k into making pet food available at food pantries. Almost 25% of pet owners have considered rehoming a pet bc of costs. 12% of pet owners have. Sheltering/policing ownerless pets is MORE expensive than making it possible to keep them. This is cute politics and good policy.

You rarely hear him switch to demon

When people said "drain the swamp" I don't think we realized that meant that only the sticky, chunky bits with too much viscosity to drain would be left to run the government.

This is straightforward fascism.

"this isn't the time for purity politics" the white man said whitely

Feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure he is the only politician in history where the actual words coming out of his mouth do not matter in the least to his supporters. Coherence is simply not a requirement.

WAPO: The lining “failed in at least 85 places because of errors in the renovation, including the premature refilling of the basin before the liner had fully dried ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

"We shall bite on the beaches, we shall bite on the landing grounds, we shall bite in the fields and in the streets, we shall bite in the hills; we shall never surrender!"

Spotty took the flask from his jacket and drained it in a single pull. He pictured his wife, lying on a beach in Jamaica with her yoga instructor, and his vision clouded. Blowing past the sign for Dead Man’s Curve doing 80, he was jolted back to reality by a cacophony of screams.

@infinitescream.bsky.social

“I don’t like this guy so he’s totally gay!”Like a fucking 10-year-old in the 80’s.

*find* *new* *fandoms* (and read this)

So much of the Internet now is fake. But Trump's support is not fake. It may be exaggerated, it may be shrinking, but it is not an internet-generated mirage like an AI image of a man drop kicking an alligator in a florida swamp

there is and always has been a huge market for "comedy" that is just a guy standing on stage saying bigoted stuff about minority groups. It's honestly just a different thing with different goals than other forms of comedy.

Do publishers think we need asshole men churning out b.s. in order to prompt smart women to rebut them?

Exactly as predicted: Elder abuse. This is from Danny Trejo’s son, Gilbert Trejo. Not only did Ben Shapiro’s camp trick the elder Trejo about what the movie really was, he apparently signed a contract barring him from even putting out a statement about it.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

no coming back from this without punishing the entire chain of command from the officers carrying out this shit to the people at the top giving the orders

Important context.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
