Non franges nos, sed a nobis frangeris. They will not break us, but be broken by us.

“Her brother said he didn't see marks on Marin's neck at the hospital. As he took pictures, an immigration officer standing guard tried to make him leave the room and delete the photos. Hospital staff defended his right to stay in the hospital room, he said.” Barbarism.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Shout out to all the marginalized folks whose freedom to simply live their lives has been turned into a political football by assholes and whatnot.

The Bolsonaro story is yet another example of why Dems must internalize that they'll need an international pro-democracy, anti-corruption, and anti-authoritarian agenda should they win the White House in 2028. They have no option but to embrace that fight, even as they push domestic priorities.

blocking just isn’t a super serious thing, it doesn’t have to be saved for a massive transgression “I didn’t enjoy interacting with this person on the internet” is a perfectly good reason now you won’t find each other annoying anymore, everyone wins

As the midterms approach, I would just remind everyone that US politics has become increasingly parliamentary and that what matters most is the *number* of Ds or Rs, not the idiosyncrasies or ideological quirks of individual candidates. If you want D outcomes, vote D up & down the ticket.

We are going to send him back to die in a cell and it's going to be great.

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Don't worry, Flavio! Your future is guaranteed by Donald J. Trump! That's a bet no one has ever come to regret!

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

regardless of whether you think the polls are right, the polls are wrong in favor of republicans, the polls are wrong in favor of democrats, or you just want all of us to shut up about polls, I hope we can all agree on one thing show up and vote to put these dipshits in an electoral dumpster

this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

conservatives sense that Trump's fucking disgusting tacky-ass taste and him laying waste to DC bulldozing the public property of the American people putting up disgusting tacky-ass monuments to himself is a huge political liability

before the election, doing dogpile coverage on Trump's heavily documented and extremely plausible rape allegations would be Political and therefore improper. after the election it's time to turn the page, let bygones be bygones, look forward not backward, bsky.app/profile/hoff...

Yes exactly. Hard to be juicier than this! A violent sex scandal connected with America's most notorious criminal and they're like "nah we'll pass, time to run another beat sweetener on Rubio instead." They just like Trump and want to help him. bsky.app/profile/plan...

"there's no new information in this report so it's not news" say the same news media who plastered front pages with "duplicate hillary emails found on laptop" like it was a nuclear-level scandal a week before the 2016 election

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

the actual reason is that the media likes Trump and wants to help him. They didn't like Hillary and they didn't like Biden and wanted to hurt them. That explains why Hillary's emails was covered as a nuclear-level scandal and "Trump is a violent rapist who is best friends with Jeff Epstein" isn't

The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

This is true

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

LMAO. Eat shit, fascist. Enjoy rotting in prison.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

The AirBnB people whining about the incredibly postmature rules changes are hilarious. Hey, here's an idea, if you don't want to pay someone to clean up after guests don't run a fucking lodging business!

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

From the drumbeat "But her emails!" coverage to The National Inquirer's catch-and-kill ops to the press burying the Access Hollywood story with The Comey Letter and Weinergate to the ceaseless coverage of Biden's age and mental status, the mainstream press has been Trump's lackey for over a decade.

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.
