A lot of Americans are about to find out what the federal government they so despise actually does. Of course by then it will likely be too late.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

I truly wouldn’t care if a man dressed like the king of England was in the urinal next to me. I get that for extremely online rightwingers, a trip to a public bathroom might be the most memorable moment of the day, but the rest of us truly do not give a shit who is peeing nearby.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Note how “concerns about fairness in sports” has already transformed into unvarnished transphobic bigotry

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...

Just an incredible sentence to appear in a news story about the man who might be the next attorney general.

PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us.

Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes.

This is OUR good place.
Block those dumb fuckers.

The last time I watched the news on TV was November 7th. I have been watching my favorite movies and reruns instead. I almost feel human again.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

"Controversial Views"? The man ignores science. Don't do this NPR. We need you.

RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.

The most exhausting thing about this era has been watching people I once respected -- personally, professionally, politically -- steadily migrate toward Trumpism. Even as Trump gets progressively nuttier and more authoritarian. Just a relentless, eight-year barrage of gut punches.
