there is no universe in which you can declare anything you see here "alpha"

@knowledgefight.bsky.social he fell for another one

Addressing housing affordability... "A concrete company on the Texas-Mexico border filed for bankruptcy, claiming its business had been disrupted by federal immigration raids on South Texas construction sites that were “resulting in acute labor shortages.” www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Oh my god. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT.

hey @knowledgefight.bsky.social any updates from alex on "operation paper clip" in the last few weeks? seems like he's gone awfully quiet about this extremely important and absolutely real conspiracy against patriots.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

please be sure to use the correct terminology for government troops: when they go after heavily armed white men in compounds they’re jack-booted thugs when they go after people of color or women on the streets they’re smol beans

remember when the republican party "changed their opinions" about trump in the wake of the january 6th insurrection after it was put down. remember how long that "change" lasted.

this is 100% an injection-site bruise, FYI

WELKER: What is the national emergency that justifies this new slate of tariffs? BESSENT: The national emergency is avoiding a national emergency

ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows

This appears to be the most recent DHS policy, and you are correct. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

The English teacher in me loves this cartoon… From Benjamin Slyngstad.

hostility towards trump is not to be tolerated

the one benefit to all of this that i do see is things are pretty much back to normal as far as the left/right paradigm and new foreign wars. we now can depend on most republicans and democrats to cheer on illegal incursions into sovereign nations. no more facade.

but i was told by many Smart People that pointing out the similarities between this regime and 1930s germany was histrionic shitlibbery

Here's the key passage from NYT. Miller: I'm looking for ways to use WOT precedents to attack Latinos. Can we bomb Mexico? Adults: Well, that would undermine efforts against drug trafficking. CIA: How about fake boat bombings? Miller: Death! I must have death!!!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

i can't imagine leaving venezuela in the hands of a strongman dictator www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

this is incredible stuff

New Forbidden Course at Bari Weiss’s University of Austin: watching bootleg copies of 60 Minutes smuggled in from Canada

just in case the version i posted gets nuked by youtube because bari and the ellisons are frantically trying to kill this story

thie CECOT piece that bari weiss killed on behalf of the trump regime

the 3 hour posting through it episode about bill maher with @oldmanweldon.bsky.social is the crossover i always knew i needed @jaredlholt.bsky.social @michaelehayden.bsky.social

worst blunt rotation ever

“While he watched over FaceTime, I slowly poured liquid Tylenol all over my naked body. I loved him enough to make myself autistic. He wept.”

leave it to MAGA to conflate two different countries on two different continents just because "brown people"

@thatdaneshguy.bsky.social check out what's happening on the hellsite

another unhinged solo TYT episode by ana kasparian, giving oxygen to tucker carlson (again). book it: kasparian is going to break hard for whichever "america first" candidate tries to primary vance in 2028. ESPECIALLY if it's marjorie trailer greene.

no need to imagine apnews.com/article/epa-...

ngl i think "pete hague-seth" is pretty clever. i mean, we all know he's never going to face any sort of consequences for any of this - besides the possible loss of employment - but it's still fun to think about. (democrats need to start running on re-signing the rome statute)

be totally honest, you all were expecting trump to drop one when he was ranting about somalis

does anyone seriously believe there will be consequences for the inevitable televised n-bomb from a member of this clowncar regime in the current media landscape?

how it started/how it's going

A North Texas attorney who has repeatedly described himself as a fascist and said he despises democracy wants you to vote for him. Historically, fascists rose to power in no small part by being elected to office. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

i remain amused that cenk uygur and ana kasparian continue to tell democrats how to do politics when they've veered so hard to the right that they've spent weeks trying to rehabilitate tucker carlson and nick fuentes to their dwindling audience

Fun fact: November 28, 2001: "ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."

MAGA is having a totally normal one as they slowly start to realize comey can't be charged again by ANYONE in the DOJ (oh, and since halligan isn't actually a DOJ attorney, tish james is safe too - because nobody legal at DOJ wants to get within 10 miles of that failcase)

siri, why is bluesky better than xitter?

i feel like there are parallels here we should be learning from www.npr.org/transcripts/...

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.
