The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

First Canada Then Australia Then South Korea Now Hungary Next — America Fascism is failing - democracy is winning

We are all Hungarians today.

All honor to the Hungarian people for showing the way.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime. It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.

#Orban out! Tick tock, MFer, you're next. #Trump

DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.

The current state of American politics: Sexual assault allegations are made against a Democrat and in minutes other Dems demand his resignation. Trump is found liable of sexual assault by a jury and Republicans propel him into the presidency.

“.. The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history.” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2087...

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

Here‘s the thing about Elbridge Colby telling the Vatican that America is powerful enough to do whatever it wants anywhere in the world: Iran is currently showing everyone that this is extremely untrue.

I'm just so tired. #trump

I just cancelled my #Paramount + account and when asked why I was cancelling I checked "other" and in the explanation field I entered "Bari Weiss."

. Jeffrey Epstein’s accountant testified to the oversight committee this week Where he verified Jane Doe 4 was paid a settlement from the Epstein’s estate Jane Doe 4 said Epstein & Trump raped her at age 13. Get this man out of the White House NOW THAT’S ALL THE PROOF WE NEED! #EpsteinFiles .

The #NYTimes crossword puzzle today is bonkers.

More than 100 pieces of potential evidence, including computers, were removed from Epstein’s home before the government searched it in 2005.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

A month into the war, Trump is fighting for safe passage through the strait and negotiations to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, things he already had before he started the war.

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

Iran has launched at least 6 barrages at Israel since midnight local time. Someone should tell them that 100% of their military as been obliterated so they’ll stop doing that

NYT suggests that Sen Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Trump's new pick to head DHS, grew fantastically rich with stock trades placed on insider information, and they produce the receipts.

Shut up & sing. Shut up & dribble. Shut up & make movies. Shut up & plan cities. Fuck that. If we don’t ALL speak up, when things are this bad and getting worse by the minute, and everything important is the line, then we’re complicit. The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility.

At this point there really isn't anything on my bucket list but living long enough to see these MF's put on trial for their crimes against humanity and their treasonous efforts to destroy a 250 yo democracy. #motivation #trump #maga

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt. Take the damn money and leave me alone.

Unpopular POV: When ppl wear eyeglasses you notice before they arrive it makes me take them less seriously.

The land of "live free or die," New Hampshire, has state-run liquor stores (where it's so much cheaper ppl travel from other states to buy from them) but Zohran Mamdani is a "communist" for suggesting a pilot program of City-run grocery stores. Make it make sense.

I suppose if you grew up on violent video games, #Superman2025 seems like a movie and not how I experienced it - a visual and aural assault on my eyes and ears. I tapped out at 30 minutes. (David Corenswet is not, however, a visual assault.)
