Libs: will you please FUCKING STOP reporting every deranged Trump tweet about invading Canada since this is exactly what he wants you to do so you'll stop paying attention to whatever the fuck Elon is doing to the federal government? Thank you.

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst.

I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness
ALSOBROOKS: You said 'we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that is given to whites.' Can you please explain what you meant?

RFK Jr: There's a series of studies ...

ALSOBROOKS: What different schedule would you say I should've recevied?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This just confirms my view of Substack as Edgelord Livejournal. Look, if you have a substack and you're happy about that, more power to you. But 90% of the links I stumble upon to substack are weird libertarians bragging about their right to yell the n-word in a crowded elevator.
this email i just got from Substack is a good reminder of why i left the platform last year with zero regrets.

If you weren't on the internet or political in 2017 this is basically a repeat of that except like most sequels it starts with a much bigger explosion, followed by a car chase leading to an entire country jumping out of a burning airplane.

so the thing is

just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming

it's actually not helpful

All you really need to know about all the bullshit coming out of the White House the last two weeks is that Stephen Miller is behind it and that Steve Bannon is applauding it. Literally everything else can be deduced from there.

Look, I know some of you are concerned about Trump releasing all the J6 conspirators, but you have to understand that he can't do a Night of the Long Knives unless he riles up the brownshirts first.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Bike Cleveland's 14th annual meeting. I've been to all but one (I was being a little bitch in 2019 or whenever I guess). Hard to believe it's been part of my life for so long.

We've all seen the picture of the UnitedHealth shooter. If the cops were serious about catching him they would have staged an M. Night Shyamalan "Trap" situation at an Arctic Monkeys concert by now.

Monitoring the speech of American citizens and taking retaliatory action are not qualities anyone should want in an FBI Director.
Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
