Like I said, Trumpanzees are too proud and cowardly to admit they got conned by a parasitic man-child.

This is how populist movements always ends: once its leaders get control of the state's apparatus of violence they become the out-of-touch elite parasitically screwing over the masses.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

A drunken tourist attacked and beat a trans woman in Thailand. A crowd formed up and chased him and proceeded to beat him to a pulp. He was left screaming in agony.

The Thai people do not mess around with protecting their trans women.

Ah yes, "We the Democrats" is definitely what a Republican official in a Republican administration meant when she said "your government is failing you...we have failed you"

Mike Johnson immediately tries to clean up for Brooke Rollins: "When she says 'we have failed you,' she means 'we, the Democrats,' okay?"

So if Russia and China come to defend Venezuela while we’re bombing Venezuela, then does that mean we go to war with China and Russia?

wtf is happening? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

As U.S. ramps up the pressure, Venezuela pleads with Moscow for help

Documents show Maduro drafted letter asking Russia for missiles, radars and upgraded aircraft as U.S. forces amass in the Caribbean.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

JD Vance promotes such a bad image for white men. In his depiction, they’re delicate snowflakes, terrified of competing with women and people of color for jobs, spooked by cat ladies and cowering in fear at the sound of a foreign language.
It isn’t white-male supremacy. It’s white-male insecurity.

Horseshoe Theory liberals can't face that Jacobin, Chapo, and Jimmy Dore don't constitute the "far left." Many of us a lot further left absolutely despise those Dirtbag and red-brown types.

The anarchists believe that the only way socialism can be implemented is through free and voluntary associations within society not through the Frankenstein monster of a state above society.

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.

Richest country in the world with plenty of food in stores for everyone to eat and still waste half of it, but extremely unequally distributed food permission slips. And most people don't even question how wrong that setup is. As if it's okay to prevent access to what we need to live despite plenty?

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 1d

As a disability advocate, I think it’s appalling how many people are fine letting disabled folks starve because they think “survival of the fittest” means we should die.

But here’s the thing… no one should be starving.

The richest country in the world can afford to feed everyone.

1. A watershed moment.

The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new
