If eleven people are sitting at a table and one is a fascist, what you have is eleven fascists sitting at a table. Fuck working with fascists when it's "beneficial," part of that glory goes to the fascist, dipshit. #NoKings

Look forward to Stephen Miller's criminal trial and then life in prison for crimes against humanity.
Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.
Trump admin to put back up Robert E. Lee Portrait-Complete With Slave. Yep, Trump is hanging a huge painting of a slave owning traitor who led troops in defense of slavery and who killed patriotic Americans. And Lee's slave is in painting. Perfectly sums up MAGA. www.mediaite.com/politics/pen...
*it used to...
We should be talking about lowering the voting age. I used to be "if I can take a bullet for my country i can drink" but I think "if I can take a bullet for my education I can't vote out the assholes that allowed it to happen" is fair.
This is what my kiddo sent me part way through the day. School shootings happen, and kids across the country hear about it in real time.
Now do persistent mass shotings, does that hinder growth? Is dead classmates a distraction?
It's not a separate issue, and I just explained why. Giving vital updates to police/calling for help/last goodbyes. A minor distraction is the last thing we should be worried about when we can't keep mass shooters out of schools.
How many are capitulating to the fascist trump administration while simultaneously pandering to her fans who, for the most part, oppose shitty fascists?
“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…” We are failing them.
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
I admit I don't follow this world too much -- I pay attention to the main fascists not the pseudo intellectual fascists. But here's Curtis Yarvin, who JD Vance is reportedly a "disciple" of, arguing for the institution of slavery. He tries to dress it up in bullshit, but its slavery.
BREAKING: In Atlanta, GOP operatives are trying to strong-arm Fulton County into installing two far-right activists on Georgia’s LARGEST elections board Both have ties to the national voter suppression machine & a record of undermining confidence in our elections This can't fly under the radar
The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than ‘thoughts and prayers.’
wondering idly what kinds of things you could throw and claim they were sandwiches
You're missing the fucking point, if we can't keep guns out of schools my children will keeping phones with them. Those kids wouldn't have been lining up in the office to give their last goodbyes in the case of banned cell phones.
Go read TMZ for celebrity gossip.
Go fuck yourself and enjoy your block
@msnbc.com over here wasting fucking time talking to John Kasich, who can't stop shitting on democrats.
Nobody gives a shit, there are real fucking fascists running our country. Don't waste your time on dumb bullshit.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Uvalde.
UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

No. Let's figure out how to stop school shootings. That phone is with my kid in case of an emergency that school and/or cops aren't prepared to handle. Our child has a phone for last goodbyes because thats the fucked world we live in. Gail should put that energy into fighting fascists.
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
His son looks like if a man and a woman had a baby
Time for people to start ignoring his phony orders and his bullshit. This shits been way too fuckin easy for him.
He can post a letter stating in Santa Claus lives in his asshole, nobody cares.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Wow, I didn't know a president could just eliminate our first amendment rights with a non-legal binding executive order. He fuck right off
Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.
To prison
Reporter: The DOJ is sending the Epstein files to Oversight Trump: You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. The whole Epstein thing is a democrat hoax
Has anyone seen this megalomaniac?
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Theyre dumb as a fucking rock. Newsom should keep it up as long as they don't get it
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
New phase of *genocide* Report reality, not the "official narrative," FFS.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
I wrote about this guy.
When Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi were in the Confederacy, their troops were unable to occupy Washington. But now they can fulfill that dream as they fight the same old civil war in defense of racism and against national unity.
Just think about the kind of person who, today, with everything going on, thinks "I want to be an ICE officer." What are the chances of that being a decent human being?
"I do think people moving there are more on the Republican side. BUT THIS IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS FOR GAVIN NEWSOM." fucking ass clowns making a nakedly political power grab are calling the response political. GFYS
"People opposed to genocide are being mean to me!"
These guys always go after the woman, especially small women, especially Black women
I take back everything bad I ever said about AI
There's a new low every day, but we haven't forgotten about the Epstein files despite all the human rights violations.
Yeah, no shit. Politicians picking their constituents is democracy in reverse.
We won't get an apology or admission that he was wrong, Joe will double down on why it was a good idea, but that trump went too far/did it wrong. Well, fuck you.
Trump puting the DEA cheif in charge of the D.C. police is exactly the reason why shortsighted @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social should STFU instead of throwing support behind the orange dipshit's latest fuckup.
This guy on @msnbc.com describing Putin's evil treatment of Ukrainians could just as easily apply to Netanyahu/trump/Biden slaughtering innocent palestinians.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
I’ve had my disagreements with Newsom in the past but I cannot deny that he is meeting the moment here and is willing to speak with stark clarity about the danger posed by Trump and act accordingly by fighting back on redistricting
We pay more attention to SCOTUS but this decision, especially if they uphold it, and even though it's ostensibly on a mere abstruse statutory technicality, might be the most radically anti-constitutional ruling of the Trump era. Judicial sanction for dictatorship, for Charles I style personal rule.
Why even have a congress?
Only Republicans can ignore laws.🙄
"I don't care about stats. It's all about vibes for me." - Joe Scarborough
Morning Joe supporting the federalization of D.C. is fucking nuts. @msnbc.com. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social can eat shit with our fascist president.
I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
The three major parties? Netanyahu, Isreal, big tech, the trump regime, Republicans, and putin, make 3.
What the fuck are you trying to say? Does anyone at 50501have a degree in communications?
Trump's Secretary of Defense is proud of slavery in the United States.
Elected Democrats are just waking up to reality(just started to fight). But nobody else is. When do we start striking and shutting shit down.
Why wait? fuck these fascist clowns.
Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Fuck that genocidal assclown.
Netanyahu: Yup, right after the ethnic cleansing.
Another wild scoop on NPR from @tomdreisbach.bsky.social: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it. One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.
“If you can’t beat ‘em, rig it”
Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.
Hopes wane for global plastic pollution treaty www.semafor.com/article/08/0...
I don’t know how to break this to you, but Cory Booker endorsed Michael Bloomberg for NYC mayor and reached out to support Eric Adams after he won a the democratic primary
Trump has to run out of ideas for dumb stunts to distract from Epstein sooner or later. Standing on the roof feels like end stage.
We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.
Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."
Anne Applebaum: "If American media can’t convey how dangerous this behavior is—for our prosperity, for our health, for our democracy—then American media will eventually cease to exist." More from our convo in @status.news: www.status.news/p/anne-apple...
Reupping my piece from a couple of weeks ago on how SCOTUS has made it easier, not harder, for bad faith presidents to go after their predecessors www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:
Texas House Democrats have deployed the Nuclear Option. Faced with a horribly gerrymandered electoral map, Texas House Dems break quorum & leave the state. My latest reporting, incl. Gov. Abbott’s threat to arrest the Democrats, as well as to remove them from office. youtu.be/c72G0K6hmcM?...
That's a butthole
What a fucking clown show. LOL
illinois gov. JB pritzker responds to ken paxton's threat to arrest TX democrats who fled the state: "they're here in illinois. we're going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them."
Just wild watching the "lefties yelled at me" to "Trump is great actually" pipeline work in real time, right in front of us.
Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.
“For anyone who says that there is no starvation, or mass hunger, or that not only are we at the precipice but that we have stepped over the line of widespread famine—to anyone who says that is not happening: shame on you. Shame on you. It’s inhumane.”
A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”
“It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions...We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...
@pnut, fuck you.
Fuck 311, those fascist cunts.
But! We don’t have to live in a world where people — especially our most vulnerable — have to stay inside to be healthy. We can elect leaders and push our communities to have a better future. And in the meantime, we can take direct action to improve + protect the lives of the people around us. 2/3
Anyone walking outside in Chicago will immediately notice the haze of smoke from Canada’s wildfires. This is one of many public health risks brought on by climate change and with our current trajectory, it’ll only get worse. 1/3
Anything but Epstein.
