The use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.

The justices that upheld birthright citizenship in 1898 were racist men in a racist era who still could not avoid the plain text of the Constitution. What changed between is that the GOP now sees multiracial democracy as a threat rather than an ideal or aspiration www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NEW: A bipolar man's mental health was deteriorating. ChatGPT affirmed his religious delusions, telling him that he was Jesus Christ and that it was God, according to a new lawsuit. When the man became suicidal, ChatGPT told him: “You've made your choice." futurism.com/artificial-i...

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

NEW. YORK. KNICKS!!!!!!!

Nothing says ‘freedom’ like burning taxpayer money on dirt bikes at the White House for a billionaire’s birthday party. Bread’s expensive, rent’s worse, but sure, let’s fund a midlife crisis with fireworks and motocross. Peak empire decay. America is not a serious country.

NEW: The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty. The illegal effort to put Donald Trump's name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this. Tonight, at Law Dork:

“Court packing is never ever something you should do” is not a tenable position. It’s trivial to imagine a court so extremely anti-constitutional (and yet 34 senators won’t convict) where court packing would be the necessary lesser evil. The only question is if the Roberts Court is that bad. (it is)

This is just straight up fascism. Threatening to destroy elections and running roughshod over basic constitutional principles is anathema to a healthy democratic nation. www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/p...

Are you fucking KIDDING ME with these calls????

they should’ve just called no foul there instead of handing Towns his second a minute and a half into the game, Wemby had plenty of chances to get his arm out (game thread, mute if you don’t want to follow it)

The NBA finals remind me how fucking disgusting NYC’s upper crust really is. Eat the Rich. Knicks in four

There is a certain irony in cattle people throwing all of their weight behind an administration that promised to be friendly to rancher politics, only for that administration to allow a hideous cattle parasite to make it into Texas because cooperating with Mexico is woke and gay

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

Sometimes it’s easy to understand why the French thought the guillotine was the only solution.

KNICKS!!!!!!

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

The voice of a deeply corrupt man running a deeply corrupt Court.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

This just captures 2026

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing. (image credit: WSJ reporter @lizessleywhyte.bsky.social)

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Even if he calls it off, he still needs to be impeached for threatening to do it.

We don’t even have a declaration of war and the President of the United States threatening ”a whole civilization” with death. I would say that this constitutes an emergency that Congress and Cabinet must deal with asap before he can follow through on this insane threat.

Trying not to gloat about Duke, but this had me rolling

i like to call this "electoral college brain," when politicians (or hell just regular people) confuse the fact that the electoral system privileges closely competitive interior states with some deeper, fundamental meaning

“But as videos have surfaced of controversial, liberal comments by Talarico, the White House has grown increasingly confident that either Republican would win.” Thanks for this lol, WaPo. You assholes

Come on, High Point!!!

Just catching up on Afroman, and this is textbook incompetent cross-examination with gratifying results. And, yes, Ik Afroman is highly problematic but he has the right to make fun of cops

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

is it so hard to see people are not waiting to be told what’s possible

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

RACE CALL: All three North Carolina Democrats (Shelly Willingham, Nasif Majeed, & Carla Cunningham) who voted to overturn Governor Josh Stein's vetoes have LOST their respective Democratic primaries
