I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

On Obama Appreciation Day, let's honor a man of integrity, decorum, and respect — one who showed us what real leadership looks like. He is an intelligent, all-around good man, and he and his family represent what America should be.

If Trump is cognitively and physically healthy, I am dating George Clooney, training for the Olympics, and solving complex physics problems just for fun.

I am enraged by Congressional republicans demanding Salwell’s head while completely ignoring or excusing the convicted sexual predator at the helm. The asymmetry is staggering. (It goes without saying should resign as democrats are demanding.)

The USA Hockey team visited Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada & he showed WAY more respect for these champion Olympians than Trump did. That says everything.

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

We need more people like this guy. (Sorry if any of those words are misspelled, but I find that it's difficult to type with tears in your eyes.)

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

Dear Bluesky Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence. Thanks, God

It's so bad it's not worth a comment

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

It’s great fun to see a new generation of readers introduced to The Southern Reach Trilogy.

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share. Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests. It’s trolling at its finest. The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑 #NoKings #FreedomToDissent
