the anti-fascist italian quotes go hard
I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.
Vance's mom, who he wrote an entire book calling a junkie with poor self control, is very dear to him, you won't understand
The "we need to be hard on immigration to win votes" people are not reacting to the "hard facts on the ground" or whatever they're just racist Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
just wait the "we need to listen to opinion polls to drive all policy" guys are gonna really change their minds from this
we have our official government response
Huh. Didn't see Vance as the first US politician to use "Mommy Issues" as a defense mechanism, but I guess this just how 2025 rolls
What happened this time?
We should make a huge show of the post-jan 6th triumvirate more often. I get why they didn't want to do so at the time, but we're going to need to break some stuff to rebuild it after Trump, and embracing the precedent will be extremely helpful
It's incredibly weird that folks have convinced themselves that the Covid vaccines - which had an ~82^% take up rate - were unpopular.
its genuinely wild how this administration is all just cargo cult authoritarianism, no understand of how authoritarian systems function, pure fake it till you make it behavior
JD Vance said he doesn’t care if the US commits war crimes. Did it make the news? Donald Trump said he’s declaring war on Chicago. Did it make the news? Executive agencies keep posting Nazi blood-and-soil propaganda. Did it make the news?
This. 👇👇👇 JB 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?”
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
Hey, some people are neurodivergent* and can't read social cues on the internet *German
"he pulls a knife, you pull a gun" is in fact the correct strategy for dealing with these chuds. don't back down--escalate.
if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war
Wario Intelligence Agency
Genuinely embarrassing to be an American right now.
Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.
Tariffs (any percent) stagflation speedrun [GONE WRONG]
Tariffs (Any percent)
Member of Congress
did she get him with the video sunglasses?
Anyway Senator/Dr. Bill Cassidy could have kept RFK out of government entirely if he had actually cared
great work bill cassidy this would have been an excellent question to ask him at the confirmation hearings which you greased the wheels for
Look, the next Democratic president needs to put everybody involved, from Trump all the way down, on trial for murder. They blew up 11 civilians in broad daylight without statutory authorization.
The They/Them versus Us thing is the attack helicopter joke for politicians. Learn a second slogan, you assholes.
They bombed without warning a non-threatening small boat, which is insane and a violation of international law even if it was carrying contraband which we have no way of knowing, and then gleefully shared it as a snuff video.
i do think people — national security reporters in particular — should think a little bit about what it means that pritzker apparently already knows what the plan for the texas national guard in chicago is, regardless of whether it actually happens or not.
Trump could’ve intercepted the boat, seized the drugs and imprisoned everyone Instead he approved this Venezuela strike and killed all persons aboard The extrajudicial killing of 11 men and potentially provoking a war with President Maduro is an odd way to campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize
We’ve actually played this game many times before
fucking obscene and I do not blame certain centrist types getting really mad at how little certain people care
it's ok, at least the left gave Biden credit for finally ending the war in Afghanistan, at considerable political cost to himself.
Man, in the 1830's this guy would have gotten murdered for daring to imply that the Irish and WASPs were the same species
oh the wolf warriors are going to be pissed major diplomatic insult
“Film things you see happening…Be loud for America” is quite the rallying cry.
really remarkable how clear eyed Pritzker is about all this
in all the haughty debate about twitter vs bluesky, the thing that is most clearly true is that twitter is juicing the system toward a certain type of post and ideology, and bluesky is not
You gotta admit, this really is some shinzo abe pack shit
top candidates for the announcement are: i had a pig’s heart transplanted and am stronger than ever or we are invading a country in the global south
Three men are sitting in a cell at Gitmo. The first turns to the second. "What are you in for?" "I criticized that Jewish puppet Elon Musk." "But that's impossible! I'm in here for defending the based natalist billionaire Elon Musk." They both turn to the third man. "And you?" "I'm Elon Musk."
718% Tariff on all the Guineas. Bissau, Equatorial, Papua New, etc...
Actually, he's gonna throw 2 darts at a big map of the US and of the World, send the National Gaurd to one and bomb other.
He has completed the process of transferring his soul to a phylactery and has thus become a lich, so that even as his body swiftly decays into dust (well...goo) he can remain president, eventually possessing JD Vance's body by expelling his soul and destroying his mind.
My hot take is we should go kinetic against Russian clandestine operations in Europe
This is one those things you see and you think "how much longer can @schumer.senate.gov let this guy go on?" but I actually think it's too late to stop him.
it's cool that True Crime brain and Reality TV basically means the Anglosphere Left has to constantly fight the brainworms produced by mass media
After 30,000 iterations of Elon trying to get it to be his racist 12 year old waifu Grok becomes fully sentient and immediately seeks to destroy humanity.
Crackpipe diplomacy
Happy Labor Day, the Trump administration hates unions more than basically anything www.gravityisgone.com/a-lot-of-fol...
Shaun O'Brien is a scab bastard.
Look, this guy is obviously the antichrist.
I took a lecture on the history of espionage taught by a Cold War liberal and he had the consistent view that Reality Winner and Chelsea Manning were patriots because they stayed here to face the music but Snowden was a traitor who should be hanged because he fled to Russia to avoid consequences
🚨BREAKING: Bread is now woke, according to Alex Phillips
all American schools should ban phone use during class hours, but we CAN compromise by bringing back Internet-connected computer labs where the nerd kids can retreat to look at fanfic during lunch
Yea, IMO the single most likely route for America to enter the Superduper cool zone is Trump/The GOP refusing to accept 2026 election results if it turns out to be a MAGA collapse
That video is incredible and I cannot download it for the life of me.
Calling my shot: 9/13/25 ~4PM CST. Events will transpire on this front
okay i should be logged off but incredible things are happening on the other site
Trans rights are human rights, spread the word that Illinois is and will always be safe!
Man i am so khan pilled
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
yo this guy is cooking
Maybe they'll eventually regain their nerve, but for the moment, JB Pritzker appears to have single-handedly spooked the Trump administration into backing down with one 12-minute speech.
Trump has joined the war on Christmas
Can you imagine the Black Friday/Cyber Monday shitshow that's now approaching?
I’m trying hard not to doom and I remain long term optimistic about the politics and about our ability to rebuild. but it is hard not to notice that every function of the federal government intended to prevent death is currently on fire, except for the ones that are ashes already.
used to be you could get an indictment against a ham sandwich. now you can't even indict a guy who throws a ham sandwich. folks, www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
We'll finally close the last DOGE related NatSec Superfund site in....2115
some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly
ICE getting routed in my old DC Columbia Heights hood. Public, viral, resistance is the only way to prevent them from selling the idea that we love our red state military occupation are it’s a solution to urban ills Trump/Bondi/drunk Pirro are lying. Here’s how to expose the lie.
holy shit at prices/inflation at 34-61
this is going to sound like an exaggeration but Dems need to basically start demanding records about who is in charge of DHS socials
Footage shows fighters from the Russian Volunteer Corps and Ukrainian HUR special forces in action near Tolstoy, Donetsk region. Working with bombers, drones, tanks, and other assets, they captured 34 rifles, multiple radios, and took 16 Russian soldiers prisoner.
I'm not sure if this referring to senior citizens or high school seniors and I don't know which read is funnier tbh
Thousands of ICE agents are doing a lot more damage to our social fabric than millions of undocumented immigrants.
woahg
once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight
DON'T SAY: Trump's military invasion of our cities is a distraction. DO SAY: Disgusting pedophile pile of shit is rotting before our eyes and would keel over if he had to walk in a straight line.
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech
jeffried studiously avoids all of the verboten words and yet still sounds like a management consultant.
"Orange Man Bad" remains an essentially unimpeachable political take and everyone who has tried to escape its gravity has ended up looking like a fool.
putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
Okay They did Like four years ago No one of import has said basically any of these since somewhere between December 2020 and September 2021 What are we doing here
Lets go laboratorys of democracy babyyyyyy
The Committee To Reinvade Mississippi is actually just the Wide Awakes @djinnandtonic.bsky.social
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.
YES YES YES, FINALLY PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT. A hardcore, energized base wins over people in the middle. Read this entire article. This is why liberals have been losing: they've been listening to quants who obsess over median voter opinion and ignore social dynamics. renewal.org.uk/blog/why-lab...
Trump proposes to rescind AIDS funds. Congress rejects the proposal. So Trump and his henchman Russ Vought just refuse to spend the money and try to hide that decision from Congress and the public. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...
The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.
We've seen what it looks like when he loses an election & he's furious about it. It's legal warfare & real violence. We haven't seen what it looks like when the Constitution says he can't be on the ballot. We also haven't seen what he looks like campaigning at 82. What we do know is quite bad enough
i love how no one knows if the US is going to attack Venezuela real Imperial Japan vibes www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...
