We always hoped they were kidding
Waiting for the big blowdown
We know the shadows so well
Doing your enemy’s bidding
Heading for the big showdown.
It never changes

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

In case you're wondering whether the Tr•mp is serious about persecuting people for the things they think and write about, consider the case of Mark Bray, a historian who writes about the origins and evolution of antifascism 🗃️

I know I haven't said much about the peace deal. That's because it's a con and won't last and of all parties involved only Hamas are entering into it in good faith.

Total ghouls. 'We have to completely destroy the revenue streams of all creators in order to be able to take all of the profits via AI-generated shite.'

I work as a creator of music for TV/library/film. It is becoming a very dark place. AI is definitely going to do a Skynet on us.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Here's our reality. The MAGA is now openly implementing Project 2025. The end of that road is the end of Democracy. A Christian nationalist state where your vote does not matter. When things get this bad historically the only way they get fixed is through violence/rebellion.

Prepare for that future

Increasing number of Americans say violence may be needed to get U.S. 'back on track': poll

While most still reject it, a new poll shows nearly three in 10 Americans believe violence may be necessary to fix the country.
