a distinction without a difference there pal

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

They’re going to use this to allow billionaires to live to 300 and take away our last backstop against them

How hasn’t he figured out that we all know so he can’t stop letting them blackmail him?

Yeah man, cops, whose only job is to terrorize people if and when they feel like it with zero repercussions while collecting nice paychecks, are gonna quit because Muslim. Ok.

Shapiro ordered the meal and now the bill is here and he’s patting his pockets.

you ever just... fall in love....

The idea that world events and life-or-death political decisions should turn on what one elderly US citizen sees on a TV sounds like the premise for a 1970s dystopian satire written by the most hysterical Marxist novelist seeking to magnify the moral rot and decadence of a declining American empire…

Blue Jays fully Leafing it up

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Send every ICE employee to the fucking Hague.

My father in law, who comes from a family of cops, and who is the most right wing talk radio brained guy I have ever met just went off on Trump hard. Thinks he’s completely lost his mind and made fun of him relentlessly. If that gives you any hope.

“They are highly organized … [they] have purchased their own animal costumes”

genuinely trumps funniest bit ever for him to admit that he knows he’s a grifting piece of shit who’s going to hell lol

If all the Democratic leadership talked this way they would sweep the midterms

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

There was a moment, very recently, when the popular sentiment was firmly in favor of addressing police violence and unaccountability; the response from these same politicians was “fund the police.”

never would have guessed that our secret weapon in the TERF Wars would be mold infestations but our ally strikes again.

mold, orcas, frog wizards: that’s a popular front baby

it's hard to think of a better example of "all right-wing politics are projection" than "Peter Thiel going on tour to warn everyone about the dangers of the Antichrist"

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.
