And they don’t deserve the liberal democracy they get to live in either. They fight for abstinence-only sex ed but get to live in a world where their pregnant teens have choices and are not shuttled off to convents. They fight against gay marriage but their gay kids get to marry.
This is UK, but of course same is happening in the US, and I am fucking tired of idiots claiming they don't understand how scientific research words. Give me your smartphone and your ozempic and your synthetic fibers and go hunt rabbits for food, you don't deserve our modernity.
If Trump had delivered remarks similar to Obama's, MAGAs would feel betrayed. That's the sum of it.
i just need to outsmart my brain
The only thing we know about the shooter is that he is a white man but never mind that
Florida state officials say they are keeping a close eye on how teachers react to the assassination of Charlie Kirk by pledging to investigate and punish any “vile, sanctionable” behavior from educators. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
“.. Trump once again demonstrated that he fundamentally views himself as the leader of a faction, not a nation. The president instinctively assumed the petty job of mobilizing his base for retribution against another group of Americans ..” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
When you try to erase something but you make it more powerful & poignant 😍 ✊🏿
One sign that the US is hosed is that it would prefer to piss off an enter country, a rising power, at the behest of a failed local politician. This is the sort of dumb, petty end of empire behavior.
Listen to Edward R. Murrow in 1954 - This could be today.
"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert addressed the shooting of Charlie Kirk before the show began on Wednesday evening. [Video: CBS]
So. Much. Fucking. Winning.
So STOP—STOP telling Democrats to tone down their rhetoric!
Yes. Yes, they are.
"The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in politics without fear of violence. To lose that is to risk losing everything. Charlie Kirk — and his family — just lost everything. As a country, we came a step closer to losing everything, too... We are all safe, or none of us are."
Spending your final moments arguing with college kids about trans people is a painful reminder that our time on Earth is both precious and short, and we would be better served if we spent our time pursuing work that is meaningful and makes the world a better place.
Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans
The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...
Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability
Credit to Mika Brzezinski for not putting up with Tom Homan's BS this morning. This was a hard-hitting interview.

If I take my dog to the groomer, or doggie day care, proof of vaccinations are required. Just thought I’d put this out there.
Governor announces New Mexico will now provide free universal child care
every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"
Justice Kavanaugh filed an opinion today telling Justice Sotomayor that it’s “common sense” that a Latina in the U.S. might not be here legally. That’s a deep, deep low point in Supreme Court history—disgraceful. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?
It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.
Al Jazeera has done a lot of great reporting on these scam centres (more like forced labour camps), here's one of their most recent videos www.aljazeera.com/video/true-c...
Gotta love Pete 😂
The US government is now straight up posting nazi propaganda.
WELKER: Trump said tariffs were gonna spark a manufacturing renaissance but since he announced them the US has lost 42k manufacturing jobs. Is that proof tariffs are failing? BESSENT: We can't snap our fingers & have factories built W: The economy added nearly 500k manufacturing jobs under Biden
My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!
When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.
😕 👩🌾
“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.
Here's gov't shutdown in a nutshell: GOP needs two things (a) pass budget bill (b) fix ACA cut that will go into effect before midterms. The Dem strategy is to give the GOP both in exchange for nothing then blame the Dem base for not understanding how good that is.
The CDC doesn't understand disease control. The EPA doesn't understand environmental protection. Now it's clear the Dept of Energy doesn't understand energy. This administration is populated by imbeciles.
The truth is most people don’t give a shit about the rule of law, or due process, or laws of war, or freedom of unpopular speech or unpopular religion. Just about every modern civilizational advancement out of barbarism gets only occasional lip service and is unpopular in particular instances. /1
Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
This should be an IMPEACHABLE offense Or 25th Amendment NOW America Seriously ...
Blowing up a boat that allegedly had drugs in it and killing alleged gang members in international waters without any due process is pretty clearly not legal. Vice President of 🇺🇸: “I don’t give a shit” A lawless regime.
Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday
it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.
"I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still and I could read." We’re not doctors but it kinda seem like this should’ve been disqualifying 🤷🏻♂️
Performative militarism was one of the only pieces missing from the fascist jigsaw. I still wouldn’t rule out him turning up in a medal-bedecked uniform one day.
The US minimum wage has been $7.25 for the entire time the ACA has existed. Fuck your work requirements for Medicaid.

Trump, who can't legally own a gun because he's a convicted felon, wants his DOJ to ban trans Americans from owning guns. Are you fucking kidding me?
Hilarious the Louisiana Gov and Senators are now asking Trump to federalize the Guard to take over New Orleans like supplicant subjects should. Let's remember. The Gov can do this any day of the week. That's what the Guard is. A state militia. Asking Trump to federalize them is some weird GOP kink.
You've got to remember that even though RFK Jr looks like an idiot and sounds like an idiot, he is, in fact, an idiot.
Mandatory Fuck Jenny McCarthy.
Bill Cassidy gets RFK to agree that Trump should get a Nobel Prize for COVID vaccine, but then asks how that's consistent with RFK's statements about the vax. Pretty smart approach.
Proof that Republicans know the right thing to do - but refuse! How can you say this with a straight face and support the removal of immigrants with no trial⁉️ When they finally remove their heads from Trump’s ass, come talk to me.
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
Damn gotta love it!😂🤣
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
The Pentagon appointing 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges has a real "Volksgerichtshof and Sondergerichte" feel to it.
This is a fun debate. I say something and you say you disagree with something I didn’t say.
I guess that’s your response.
We could and we did and things were better.
I didn’t say that. But you know that.
Good day to you too, Sir.
My kid is trans. I owe him a useful vote.
He won’t. We won’t all become mute after he is elected.
Again, I can’t afford to take your position. My trans kid needs his medication for his entire life.
I do it all the time. And people who didn’t in 2016 and 2024 are on my shit list.
Please. You don’t believe that. Google: “shit the GOP has done to trans folks with Trump in White House.” My kid is afraid to travel to certain states now.
Don’t be. I kicked ass as a parent of a trans kid. He’s very happy and doing well. He is equally pissed about people on our side on trans issues who didn’t vote for the Dem nominee in 2016 and 2024.
My kid is trans. I don’t think Dems will massively harm trans folks. Any Dem. I guess we should check in with each other in a few years. See who was right.
Not conceding shit. I voted for Obama when he was against gay marriage. I knew it was the best vote. I stand by it.
I have a trans kid. I can’t afford to be a purist.
I’m not a transphobe and it frustrates me, especially the “because I have standards” line. I think my standard is to not help really awful people (the GOP) get elected.
I don't even have words for this sort of devilry
Chicago isn’t even in the top 50. Colima, Mexico is the “MURDER CAPITAL” of the world…
In an old clip, Noem SLAMMED Biden for even CONSIDERING sending the National Guard to the border - calling it a "threat to states' rights." Now she's the loudest voice demanding TROOPS ON OUR STREETS. Kristi Noem is a lying, gaslighting, power-drunk, Constitution-trashing, authoritarian fraud.
“people that I find personally annoying are the reason the other side wins elections” is the laziest possible form of political analysis
something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.
Just saw a clip on ABC news that showed a small Guatemalan child being led to a plane for deportation with her ankles shackled. This country has lost its soul.
Ugh. I think this conversation stops here. We won’t convince each other. And my plane is about to take off. Take care!
I don’t think it’s “needlessly ethical” to throw your vote away.
