Percentage of Americans actually offended by this joke: 0% Percentage of Americans offended that a Black man is allowed to speak on a mic: 23:-28% Percentage who will think it's funny and get why Trump is a wannabe dictator clown with the taste of a McMansion model home decorator: 64%

Evangelical Christian fundamentalism is why Brazil just might elect Flavio Bolsonario, a far-right traitor to the nation. Non-religious people *must* do much better at community and mutual aid. This is a global problem. Fascism's chief tool is religious delusions. archive.is/jkFDJ

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

PS: Pic has an example of overdosing on Murc's Law. Not only is it contrary to the facts to suppose that every Trump voter knew that he is racist and is accused of sex crimes, you can't win w/this message. @upine.bsky.social has been very patient trying to explain this, but to no avail.

Trump’s policies are killing people RFK Jr’s policies are killing people. Republican policies are killing people Billionaire’s money in politics is killing people Stop voting for these people They don’t care about you. They want you ill-educated, weak, scared or dead, it’s a benefit to them.

The GOP has nothing left but loathsomeness. Vivek Ramaswamy showed us that. Trump shows us it every day. My column on a party with zero ideas and zero accomplishments:

Opinion: Republican candidates seem to have hatched a plan: Let's just be the most wretched versions of ourselves and see how things shake out.

It would be good if we could get reporters to put these numbers in some context. They ALL know that none of their readers has a clue as to the size of millions, billions, and trillions, but they refuse to take the 10 seconds needed to put them in a context that could make them meaningful.

Just as Ukraine regrets relying on Elon, we'll regret relying on X, Meta, and Palantir. But we can't say we didn't see it coming.

The "wins above replacement" strategy is a bundle of delusions wrapped in numbers. Left parties win when they are bold and articulate constantly. They lose when they are timorous and poll-bound. Democrats already have popular policies. The missing ingredient is enthusiastic communication.

Meta shut out Indivisible from Instagram on the No Kings Day meant to rally people to vote.

The kinda paragraph that makes you wish you'd written it yourself.

David Rothkopf and Norm Ornstein have some pointed comments about current Republican corruption. Ornstein co-authored a book in 2012 about what a mess Radical Right Republicans were making of US politics, called "It's Even Worse Than It Looks." youtu.be/PtZ53C9jdnA?...

The inability of the 117th Congress & Biden admin to hold the first Trump regime accountable for corruption, maladministration during a pandemic, attempted auto coup, conspiracy to defraud the people, & inciting insurrection is the worst accountability failure in U.S. history. Dems must use power.

Correct, nobody does this because that would obviously be fucking stupid

Ossoff: "You stand here and say you're gonna be a champion for Black Georgians when you elevate to positions of leadership in your political organization people with ties to the Ku Klux Klan."

OSSOFF: Mike, you just confused Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act despite reading from your notes ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

oh boy. Mike Collins is in trouble

omg this is a good ad

The worst predictions of what a second Trump term would be like are coming true right before our eyes.

I write about California Forever in "The Nerd Reich." It fits a pattern:billionaires trying to build private cities. We see this idea popping up in Honduras, in Greenland, in Venezuela, in Cuba, in Kazakhstan, and in the ruins of the Gaza genocide. www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

It is remarkable how many Dems in competitive races are not doing the squishy bipartisanship tapioca routine and are instead just letting rip with these guys are a bunch of evil goddamned nazis who want to take all your rights and are also corrupt as fuck. It’s reading the room, I suppose.

That's the problem, Mike. It's not just that you've hired half the Third Reich to staff your Congressional office, and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online, it's that you're robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

MAGA activists are criticizing Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s inclusion of a white man in her Arkansas political ad—a lurid reminder of how influential identitarianism has become in segments of the American right, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/BYdEcwp8 📸: Markus Schreiber / AP

"We are headed in a direction where what comes after Trump...It’s going to be even nastier, it’s going to be even more corrupt, it’s going to be even more hateful. You can lose people by behaving this way. And Texas GOP is showing that." — Alan Elrod, political theorist 🧾 t2m.co/RvmBhCY

never the wrong time for this classic

that distrust didn't come from nowhere. It was started and is spread by baseless fraud claims from Republicans, and this WaPo piece leaves that out ... it's missing the central part of the story.

Corrupt taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

Yep...

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

Barnes & Noble has named "The Nerd Reich" a Best Business Book of 2026. Funny, I never thought of it as a business book. But it makes sense. It exposes a cult of apocalyptic billionaires who believe it is their destiny to destroy democracy. Buy it today! www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/the-bes...

Religious-right leaders are trying to help Republicans keep their congressional majorities -- and they have a scary to-do list if they're successful www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Eric Schmitt: "Did you or did you not sit on my porch last October with a wicked grin on your face, menacingly holding a lit candle, and then mysteriously disappear on November 1st?” Jack Smith: “That’s a Jack-o’-Lantern”

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.
