It's amazing how fast the frog has gone from a symbol of right-wing hate to a symbol of resistance to right-wing hate.

I was saying to someone a couple months ago that the only reason Trump hasn't tried to rename the Defence Department to the War Department is that he hadn't thought of it yet.
Trump floats changing Defense Department to Department of War: "We want to be offensive, too, if we have to be"
President Trump on Monday floated returning the Department of Defense to its prior name, the Department of War, calling its current moniker "too defensive."

How long before a legislator, judge or civil servant gets murdered for refusing to go along with Trump's takeover? It seems like only a matter of time.

Why isn't Canada doing this? Why isn't every country doing this? There's a smorgasbord of academic talent up for grabs.
Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.
What are we doing?

Based on overseas markets, it looks like there's a good chance of today being the biggest single-day stock market crash in history. But hey, at least it'll be easy to remember the date it happened, what with it being on my birthday. 🫠

It really sucks that fries cooked in beef tallow are considered a far right dogwhistle now, because it sure makes the far right seem more appealing.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

If the President refuses to obey the law for long enough, there are only two ways it can end: autocracy or civil war.

this is all a dominance play, but the problem they're running into is that it's so hamhanded and insulting that they're making it functionally impossible to actually capitulate
even right wing populists in other countries are going to have to get on the Fuck America train out of political necessity

Some commentators have suggested that cuts to the U.S. National Park Service are a threat to tourism. But that's neglecting all the new opportunities for hunting endangered species in national parks!

90% of nostalgia is just older people in futile pursuit of the emotions they felt when they were young.
one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Serious question — if certain persons had orders to weaken and isolate the United States, but had to maintain at least some level of premise that they were doing it to help America (“a new golden age,” for example), how would that look different than what Trump, Elon & the GOP are currently doing?
