Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Fox News. And burn it to the ground.
Who is paying for his security detail and a concierge doctor?
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
I’m going to be so fucking pissed if you make me feel hopeful for something good.
I am very much looking forward to your Presidential Medal of Freedom award ceremony someday after the second reconstruction.
If, as an employee of a public school district, my name and salary are public information then these MFers have to be too.
But what is the likely outcome? Doing *something* is not the same as being effective. A strongly worded letter for the Senate or House Minority leader is technically *something* but in practical terms it is less than nothing.
Ayanna Pressley is doing the same. Mind-boggling.
I don’t understand how an “extremist match toward authoritarianism” is a *distraction.* It’s the whole ballgame. I have great respect for you, Congresswoman, but I cannot get over how poor the Democratic Party’s response to this crisis is.
"There are no words for the parents" I dunno man I think I would say "your country has failed when your child can be killed at their school's morning mass and you have the right to ask your leaders every day why gun industry money is worth your children's lives"
Inshallah
We were quicker to try to ban Tide Pods.
As a Michigan fan, I loathe it. But maybe not quite as much as I enjoy OSU’s whining. I truly delight in their collective misery. It’s not healthy, I’m fully aware.
It's a performance, but he is also a complete piece of shit at his core. Both things can be true.
We don’t talk enough about how ironic it is that a party that calls itself “Republicans” which was founded to emancipate enslaved African people ended the Republic after a Black man served as president.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Anyone that knows anything about schools knows that *everything* goes through custodians and admin assistants. So yes, fuck off to anyone who thinks they don’t matter.
That may be understood for other publications but not this one.
I think I would not assume that about how Axios frames anything.
What the ever loving fuck is wrong with you people? American troops in the capital city is an occupation not a fucking theme park.
What. The. Fuck.
DEMOCRATS: 1. THE WAY TO MOVE PUBLIC OPINION IS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION 2. THE WAY OT ATTRACT ATTENTION IS TO AMPLIFY GENUINE CONFLICT AND REAL CRISIS 3. THE MILITARY OCCUPATION OF WASHINGTON, D.C. IS A GENUINE CONFLICT AND A REAL CRISIS
You guys. The Lisa Cook story isn’t about her mortgages. Please please please stop being so credulous.
I think Ruben Gallego is actually the bigger disappointment. Fetterman was never progressive plus the serious impact of the stroke.
Yes. You’d be familiar with the name (was going to DM you but can’t).
Wait until you hear who the driver was in this most recent tragedy. Just unspeakably terrible.
How do you rewire your mind and body to get up that early? I would love to but I'm apparently far more skilled at rationalizing why I should ignore my alarm.
Her district is among the reddest in the state. God, I hope she runs for governor.
Who is to say they aren’t Proud Boys and that ilk? They’ve functionally been deputized.
Decades of Liberal Democrats constantly downplaying White Supremacy, Christian Nationalism, Genocidal Imperialism, and the Police Corruption as it escalates violence has led us straight to fascism as Republicans go unopposed and occasionally defended by its opposition party's leadership.
It is beyond belief that the main issues that Trump won on in 2016 were: 1) adherence to infosec protocols 2) economic populism 3) anti-corruption 4) savior of sex trafficked kids My god what a fucking failure of information and fact finding
I mean when this guy thinks you’re in a cult
Flava Flav is the model for how to be rich. Bankroll the places and activities that interest you without being fucking evil.
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
Speaking as a DC resident: statehood now. It is absurd that Trump can do this in our city.
Personally, I would rather the nation’s capital was not militarily occupied by a pedophile fascist dictator.
Trump has been president for less than 5 years – about 2% of the history of this country. He's responsible for 22% of the national debt. The budget issue is a Republican long con that has worked spectacularly with people who don't believe in facts.
From this month's edition of The Onion.
Oklahoma doctors who want to keep getting state Medicaid reimbursements will have to sign a document saying they don't engage in "abortion-related activities." That's right, it's a fucking anti-abortion loyalty oath. jessica.substack.com/p/kevin-stit...
Oh, so THAT is a public service worthy of loan forgiveness but teaching is not.
2000: Stay in school or you’ll end up flipping burgers 2008: Oh you think you’re too good to flip burgers? 2015: Oh, you want to be paid more than $7.50/hr to flip burgers? 2020: How come everyone is too lazy to flip burgers?
If you’re an immigrant with legal status who’s committed 0 crimes you can be sent to a torture prison where you’ll be raped and dehumanized. If you’re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because you’re a sex offender.
It’s another example of public services being outsourced to private contractors in a vain attempt to cut municipal budgets.
The cottage industry around “school safety” in this country is disgusting. Just chock full of ghouls.
Thank you for the tip! I’ll also throw out Old Navy as a solid choice (But only on sale. I cannot bring myself spend a lot on items I plan to sweat through).
This is so fucked up
It’s so funny that Q was right: there is an organization dedicated to defending powerful pedophiles who steal from working people on behalf of the corrupt elite. It’s called the Republican Party.
this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility
Hoisted by his own petard. For sure.
Animal cruelty is truly the only unforgivable crime in this country. Until there’s a video of him kicking a puppy, there’s a chance he survives all this.
Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."
So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?
The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!
This from the man who wants to ban trans women from participating in women's sports on the grounds that women need to be protected in locker rooms.
The brilliant @tressiemcphd.bsky.social told UM grads a few years ago, “Don’t go to secret meetings.” Obviously that song went through my head immediately (they should perform it live more often).
These guys have been throwing random people into gulags without a second thought but they've suddenly rediscovered the concept of presumption of innocence
Uvalde wishes they had this response. But then again, they stood around and did nothing.
The real What Democrats Must Do thing is to say, "Trump/the GOP are doing corrupt & illegal things that are killing people, harming your family, & destroying the country. We have one election left to stop this & if you give us power we'll reverse it & make sure people go to jail." The rest is noise.
the basic message of the republican party is “fuck you, you’re on your own.”
White people
We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow
This is really the only hope I can cling to. That once the dictator is gone, there’s no one with the juice to carry it on.
Once this POS bill is signed into law, state legislators will have to figure out how do we generate billions of dollars in *recurring* revenue to keep people from losing their health coverage and losing their SNAP benefits at a time when they’re impounding billions of federal education dollars.
Please help boost this video by commenting liking or sharing! It’s an important one and I want to make sure people know what’s going on. This is critical reporting from ProPublica and I’ll have more context at my newsletter, Abortion, Every Day.
We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.
I wish we could say this about many Democrats. That’s what makes Kristol’s positions that much more remarkable.
The folks in the Yukon must be terrifying 🙄
“Border security” ayfkm
Name names. These aren’t your friends. And if you think your friendships are more important, then you’re just complicit.
We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.
Literally every sitcom with a schlubby husband and put upon wife. The entire canon of the late 90s and early aughts.
We’ll be incrementally better off as a country when more people recognize this fact.
LIV Golf? As in the Saudi blood money league?
Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats. Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.
republicans operate according to a moral economy where wealthy oligarchs and polluters deserve the collected prosperity of the nation because of their wealth. the job of the rest of us is to toil for their benefit.
It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
And you want me to give money to your States Project
Your MA reps that voted to table the Articles of Impeachment introduced by Al Green over Trump’s illegal air strikes in Iran. Vote them out in 2027. Jake Auchincloss (4th) Katherine Clark (5th) Bill Keating (9th) Stephen Lynch (8th) Seth Moulton (6th) Richard Neal (1st) Lori Trahan (3rd)
Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.
They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”
illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
That Clyburn thinks Andrew Cuomo is part of the future of the Democratic Party - and points to his character!!! — is the problem with the current Democratic Party leadership in a nutshell. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...
Make this go viral.
“latest shooting of gazans seeking food”
Not to mention the Bermuda Triangle!
I love that there was also clearly an organized activity to make the signs and the crowns 🥹
Would you sell a jpeg of this?
My high school JROTC was crisper than this.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.
"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."
