Their race and skin-color exclusions also shrink the circle of who counts as white.
Yup.
WTF? This is part of the ceremony of citizenship. These people aren’t against illegal immigration, they’re against legal immigration as well, and always have been.
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?"
you are doing your best and getting through it. this is an appreciation post for you, please keep going
Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up. Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/29/i...
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
welcome to your 40’s, that’s not heartburn. that’s just air now
Listening to some Ryan Adams albums this morning for the first time in a decade or more, feeling sad about what a toxic piece of shit he is. Used to be one of my favorite artists. Still love these songs but there's so much baggage and ugliness attached to all of it now. Just sucks. What an asshole.
It sure seems like what happened was Republicans were convinced the Epstein files would bring down Democratic elites. Put huge pressure on DoJ to make that happen. DoJ looked at what they had and convinced RW influencers the files really only implicate Trump. And everyone dropped it.
I feel fairly confident I could give better medical care than an AI that is wrong 2/3rds of the time.
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high
Fascist billionaires are the biggest threat to democracy.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
They have narrowed it down to an initial list of 30,000 suspects.
The thing that often blows by is not only is crime the lowest its been for any non-senior citizen's life, it has been roughly that safe for *fifteen years*. We have had fifteen years of steady, low crime while the irrational freakout over crime has relentlessly grown to a fevered, disordered pitch.
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
We gonna get a bunch of pardons soon? Gotta clear up some unfinished business before.. well, you know.
how do i explain to my kids two women being married?? how explain sun go away at night but come back next day? how explain magic rectangle show people talk??? HOW

hi, White House expert here! this is not funny, White Houses only do this when they’re in extreme distress.
Gonna keep reposting this @timdickinson.bsky.social / me item: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's my Bluesky Birthday Here's a picture of me (foreground) celebrating a different birthday.
Maybe the hallucinations are an advanced form of satire.
OK, hear me out...A LORD OF THE RINGS remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
man’s never met a press camera he didn’t want to be in front of and has been calling into every right wing radio station and cable show to rant for decades, if he’s doing neither, something weird is up
If they were trotting out lookalikes, wouldn't they want them to look better than this?
Did he say that or did someone post that from his socials
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Oh
you really couldn't make many movies from 40-50 years ago today. this is due to the unavailability of certain discontinued film stocks and the deaths of many principal actors, directors, and other various crew members
One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).
Cartoon: Is the Bluesky baton being passed?
Wait, the soggies are glow in the dark?? How did I not know this.
Can't wait til we get to Swan Lake
JD Vance right now
Truly believe the base would blame Vance for the exact things they support/ignore with Trump. They will say things like "Trump would never send the military onto American Streets" and "Trump would have released the Epstein files".
We need to place a bigger, flashier grave next to his, and just cover it in flowers and trinkets and letters. Make his grave jealous.
if it's true things are about to get wild because no way they ever admit it happened
Googling sad versions of YMCA just in case
When Biden's health went bad, it cratered his polls. Worst case scenario (for us) it takes him down a few more points.

Etsy's silence speaks VOLUMES
I'll do one (1) serious post about this: If he was dead someone would post it. If he was doing well someone would post it. Silence suggests a crisis with an uncertain outcome.
I will recklessly speculate the Scorsese length cabinet celebration of life was consistent with a bunch of people knowing the object of their obsequiousness is about to have a big scary surgery.
let's go!
Need everyone posting about anything that isn't 'the thing' to cool their jets. We need all the jets for 'the thing' right now. All jets on deck. It's 'the thing' time.
Has been looking pretty saggy
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Wouldn't it be nice if he were colder
In addition I think it's because he's not been seen for a few hours, hasn't tweeted in a few hours, and, for me, the pizza intelligence is blowing up: www.pizzint.watch
- hasn't been seen in three days - schedule for the weekend cleared - loud music blaring from West Wing, like as if you wanted to comfort someone in crisis and also drown out other noises - Vance gave a weird interview where he said he was 'ready to step in to the presidency, ya know, if needed'
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
RIP your toilet
Gonna please my inner child and make spaghetti with just butter and the cheap parm. Just sounds good as hell.
Not an adventurous eater, I see
Thank you!
standing on our balcony yelling down to each boy and asking him “what news”
Well it's official he is dead, that's right Johannes Gutenberg inventor of the moveable type printing press is and has been dead since 1468
Wait
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
This is true. Logging off.
The idea that JD Vance is gonna step in as the new ringleader is beyond laughable. Dude has negative charisma.
They love Trump. For the most part, they do not love Vance or Johnson or Bondi or Miller or etc. When he goes, they will start to lose interest or just outright turn on whoever takes the reins.
Theory: if 'the thing' happens, a whole lot of the policies that the base would have supported or ignored will suddenly become way more unpopular as MAGA tells themselves Trump 'never would have let that happen', even things he explicitly said he would do/did. Gonna be like shaking the etchasketch.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
🚨The worst of the worst criminals are going after kids with backpacks and leaving their scooters in the road. 📌 WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA. We are running out of time. 🚨
How could you
oh
the thing with trump is he’s more like a mule-type character than he is like the 20th century bad guys. he’s trying to loot, not conquer. like these people want to steal the copper wiring and the silverware and then set the house on fire.
for precisely this reason, I put a fairly wide confidence interval around just about any prediction I make about how Vance will approach politics once Trump finally croaks
The timing of Vance declaring that he's ready to step in is starting to look even more suspicious.
The single biggest test to my sobriety that I can (realistically) imagine is if 'the thing' happens.
In the first Gilded Age, the wealthy wanted hospitals named after them. In this shit 2.0 version, Elon racks up dead kids like it's points in a game he hired someone else to play.
The coming decades of severe climate change are going to see an absolute renaissance of disaster capitalism.
Trump didn't write that. Nowhere near enough caps.

The Trump administration is now taking formal steps to roll back the Roadless Rule that has historically protected millions of acres of wilderness across the U.S., including 44 million acres of wildland in California.
Despite the 'your disability is a superpower!' kind of spin you sometimes see, ADHD is usually more of an impediment than an asset. That said, if this is the case I'll gladly take the wins where I can. My immune system is weaker than a wet paper bag, so the thought of not being vaccinated scares me.
Would you go forward in time, find mecha-baby trump, and do what needs to be done for the greater good of humanity
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
