All these MAGA morons who *screamed* about Posse during the (completely imagined) Jade Helm “takeover” during Obama’s presidency are now so curiously and tellingly quiet. Trump and his cultists stand for nothing—no principle beyond their own bloodthirsty desire to dominate those they oppose.
The US far left hates the Democratic Party, especially centrist figures such as Joe Biden. The US far right is in control of the Republican Party and US govt, enacting far right policies right now. The party most pundits chastise for indulging extremism is the Democrats. What a massive symmetry.
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
i'm a california girl through and through but this guy makes me wanna move to nyc just so i can vote for him
"'Here’s a text book on economics,' I said pointing to a little chap, James Ashworth, who was ten years old and who was stooped over like an old man from carrying bundles of yarn that weighed seventy-five pounds."
“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’” wapo.st/3VrzEJg
@nytpitchbot.bsky.social has the hardest job in show business
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
Then apologize dipshit.
Yeah, it appears you're full of shit.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
This article and recent ones have been worth the price of my subscription Thanks. I won’t be sleeping tonight.
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
When Trump publicly claims “the right to do anything I want to do” and the news media *still* won’t say his goal is a dictatorship, that’s both cowardice and complicity. And a shameful dereliction of duty.
Well look at you - you're so radical!
Who is this "we" shit? Who died and made you Trump?
“As well as sharing conspiracy theories, the account bearing [Trump nominee for BLS Commissioner, EJ] Antoni’s name repeatedly used violent rhetoric to declare how far it was willing to go to ensure Trump secured a second term in office.”
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.’
If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.
Well yeah, that's those effete Colorado tribes. THAT'S A JOKE
Yeah, I kinda don't think that data exists. Your's is as anecdotal as mine. But I'll forgive you - sounds like you're new to these parts.
I guess it must be unanimous then! Listen to KILI online sometime. Seriously, it's great.
Go to Crow Agency or Lame Deer and ask around. Or listen to KILI radio and hear them joke about it. The idea of land acknowledgements is not what is (often) rejected - it's that they're seen as virtue signaling that doesn't lead to change.
Yeah, it's getting to be that.
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
These people hate America.
You seem nice
Change what now?
One of the most damaging left-wing beliefs, shared by many liberals, progressives, and socialists, is that politics is primarily, perhaps exclusively, about material circumstances and distribution. Damaging because, when met with a bigotry first movement, they thought material benefits would fix it.
It's hard to take that because of a 1.5 percent margin in one election, our country will now commit suicide -- and take a good chunk of the rest of the world down with it.
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.
It’s so hilarious and idiotic to describe a dictator’s efforts to end freedom for the citizens of the nation’s capital as a kind of theme park.
the right has long labored under the misconception that ordinary liberals have always hated them and their way of life with a burning passion, something which is only just now becoming true
OH COME ON
Silly as this is, there is a version of it that would actually reveal something about the person answering: Would you publicly praise Trump if it meant he’d exempt you from the bad policy he’s inflicting on everyone else? That’s an actual measure of principle. And it’s one too many are failing.
A conservative New Yorker analysis finds that Trump and his family have made at least $3.4 billion off his presidency, with the vast majority of that coming over the seven months of his second term. Most comes from crypto, including schemes that let people essentially just give him money.
You are so radical! So tough! So courageous! None more radical and tough and courageous than you! When do we hit the streets and start curb stomping centrists and fire bombing ICE HQ? You'll be leading the charge, right?
It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.
Dear @washingtonpost.com: these two paragraphs are absolute malpractice. Utterly disgraceful. You use total counts, not rates … for the THIRD BIGGEST CITY IN THE US. Of COURSE it has a high total. And rates “have come down” … with a link, but no number. Down FIFTY PERCENT IN FOUR YEARS.
New ICE recruiting poster.
If the nazi site is nicer to you than the non-nazi site then that might be a you problem tbh
Tom. You should know better. How many Democrats not in academia use these terms?
we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage
“Papers, please”
Have you considered that in staying on Twitter you help keep a toxic and hugely influential media influential? I don't know if that's actually the case, but it seems like it's worth considering. I'm not there anymore, but from what I see I think our society would be healthier if it didn't exist.
You're making yourself look very silly.
The Times saw the mayor's people handing out bribes in public last month and refused to write about it till after somebody else broke a related story www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...
This unusual campaign tactic is raising eyebrows!
This will break you
I'm hoping the transparently disgusting deal made between Epstein's old best friend and his most notorious accomplice is obvious to everyone here.
it will take years to undo the damage from this lawless, criminal conduct. business as usual once Democrats reclaim executive power will unacceptable. no turning the page without repairing the damage
NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said “special circumstances” may require ICE agents to go into schools. That’s how fascism creeps in: by normalizing fear, making classrooms feel like prisons, and putting children in danger. They don't need to do "wellness checks" in schools.
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
"fundamental genius" ... dude has secured a post doc in being a total bitch
OMFG they've hit a new low
"Uneasy mix" Either say what you mean or, honestly, STFU.
“Uneasy mix”
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

You can tell yourself we are not living under a personalist authoritarian regime or you can listen to the spokesperson for that regime
Russian state media have amplified/praised Tulsi Gabbard. RIA Novosti called Gabbard a “superwoman,” and Russian TV hosts have discussed her approvingly; AP notes her comments have “earned her praise on Russian state TV. #Kompromat #NationalSecurity
“bold departure from political norms” bribes. the times is describing bribes.
As a convicted felon, the President can't legally possess a firearm under federal law.
The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.
Hold up. You really think discussions of slavery don't mention progress? The "slavery was awful" thing unambiguously implies that ending slavery was progress. Ending Jim Crow and passing Civil Rights was progress. Both reasons to celebrate America. The problem is the Trump admin thinks it wasn't.
-Trump just bought $100 MILLION in bonds -When Interest Rates go down, bond prices go up -Trump has been pushing for interest rate cuts he would personally benefit from Unheard of levels of corruption and grift. Yet Republicans say nothing.
Corrupting economic statistics will change our economic reality. Here's how: Tariffs raise prices. Social Security is indexed to inflation. If Trump tells a partisan BLS head to downplay inflation, seniors' social security checks won't keep up. Rigged stats = stolen benefits.
🤔🤔🤔
"For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law"
Picking up “100 more seats” would effectively turn the US into a permanent one-party state, just so we’re clear on the stakes
He's never run a Bureau, has no expertise about Labor, and has no expertise in Statistics, suggesting that merit has nothing to do with Trump's decision to nominate him to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This is why no future Democrats should ever assume throwing money at Republicans voters will change their minds when they are happy to believe the lies told to them by their Republican congresspeople.
"I don't want to hurt you, stop fighting back, you're hurting yourself" is literally the language of an abuser. One of the most banally horrifying things about this administration is that there is no subtext, no dog whistles, no need for interpretive work. It's all just explicit racism and cruelty.
There should be punishments for politicians blatantly lying about their own voting record
"The far right is surging in the United States, driven in part by white nationalists exploiting economic anxieties and a populace increasingly frustrated with the political status quo." OK, economic anxieties. What might the other part that it is driven by be?
I’m going to say this one more time with feeling: to the public, Trump’s agenda sounds less like policy and more like theft.
Yeah man what kind of dumb country takes on a nation ten times its size to assert its independence?
the terror in her eyes looks about like mine would if someone told people I was fucking sean hannity on national television.
You could write a book about this photo. Everything about it is so fucking vulgar.
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
These idiot white-supremacists have always been part of the national mix, as @hcrichardson.bsky.social has written about eloquently. But the rest of us have fought against them, and beaten them. We have to do that again. They are what America can sink to. We are what America hopes for.
Every now and then I scroll DJT's Truth Social. Just to remind myself that we are not the crazy ones. It remains unfathomable that so many of our fellow Americans can listen to and read his words and think that he should be dog catcher, much less president.
But Matt Yglesias told me that all the Dems have to do is nominate moderate candidates and all will be well.
Wow! A lot of feedback here! That's not at all what I expected!
Can I say "you despicable cunt" on Bluesky?
For real, though, imagine if Obama had promised to end an invasion in 24 hours, flailed for six months and then, after a failed summit, Michelle had sent the aggressor a letter saying “pretty please.”
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.
Trump: On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him” On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well” On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with” On J6: “It was a day of love” To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.
These agents should be criminally prosecuted.
That's a particularly interesting take from a Secretary of State, whose entire job is foreign affairs. "My job doesn't matter, even a monkey could do it."
I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.
As of now, the authoritarians are winning.
"To enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown" my ass. If you think this is about illegal immigration rather than a concerted effort to establish control over law enforcement and create a military presence in DC so as to hold on to power after losing an election, think again. Gift link.
