Wait is every sketch comedian from the 2000s a horror director now?

We are on the offensive for the first time this year, we're winning against this admin & people are acting like we're at the cusp of the Civil War crossed with the Enabling Act crossed with the Years of Lead. I am begging people to get a fucking grip.

The collaborator class seems serenely confident that the Trumpenreich will last a thousand years while the House GOP is in complete meltdown. Look, I’m not *promising* comedy gold by any means, but the possibility is there.

“We refuse to pay the troops and also we’re doing indiscriminate firings of people for no reason”

I’ve never seen an administration so faithfully committed to self-immolation in my entire life

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

You see this all the time online, some originally well-based bounded criticism or point gets magnified and stripped of all that context, “some Nazis admired Jim Crow” gets turned into “the 1930s US was literally as bad Nazi Germany”, it’s so fucking dumb and it happens all the time

Honestly a predicable result? Assuming that someone who is angry about social norms is doing so out of feeling silenced for their ability to denounce their real oppression is a questionable heuristic.

“why do so many people talk like wannabe school shooters?” idk maybe there was something to that whole dang ‘civility’ thing after all

Jack Dickinson, 26, says “we’re winning this.”

*Pastor

that guy's name? ben shapiro.

This is a person who is still taken seriously and published in left-wing spaces.

To be clear: No, most Israeli Jews are not descended from Polish Jews. And even for the minority who are, it would obviously not be safe for them all to go there now, given the Polish government.

being caught abusing a dog on tape is now an 'islamophobic blood libel', truly wonderful levels of derangement from the nepo baby millionaire fans.

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

Trump vs. US was the final straw imo. You cannot read that ruling and continue believing they have legitimacy. It is not only against the plain text of the constitution, it is anathema to the national ethos. It is offensively, insultingly un-American and they ceded legitimacy by committing that sin.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Animal cruelty is the no 1 indicator for sociopathy but I’ve been lobbying for “popular streamer” to be added to the DSM.

Benjamin Franklin and Kate Bush.

"The consensus forged in the aftermath of World War II effectively closed with Jan. 6. What followed is the reemergence of older tendencies in American conservatism: protectionism, isolationism, and a growing hostility to pluralism and liberal democracy itself."

I guess I should also add that a key difference between the Trump investigation and the Comey indictment is that *Trump did something obviously and significantly wrong*. Like, if you can't grok that distinction as important, I don't know what to say.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"We have a WWE president...Kash Patel: He’s a performer. Hegseth: He’s a performer. People leading a lot of these agencies are performers. Everything we’re seeing is a performance, but with real guns and destroying real people’s lives.”

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.

when the people who shuttered USAID learn of a diabetic single mother and her disabled son starving to death 9,000 miles away because of aid cuts, they don't see failure or dereliction or tragedy, but rather success: the people they view as unworthy of life are dying
