Words are magic
Until recently I believed that only the universe was fairly limitless. I stand corrected. Stupidity is the true infinite..

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Let’s face it: voting on a working day is a huge form of voting suppression, hence why most countries vote during the weekend/on Sundays
Don't bother with the funeral, just throw him in as well...
And I share it!
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt", and these morons just love to talk.
Unfortunately, much like Dune, Frankenstein is one of those books that people claim they have read because they think watching one of the adaptations counts as reading the book. It doesn't. There is so much nuance in those books that are glossed over in the adaptations that NEEDS to be experienced
Times are changing. And so is Europe. We already achieved so much together. We have laid the foundations of our common defence industry and tech leadership. And there is so much more to come. Stay tuned for the State of the Union address on 10 September. Let’s shape a stronger Europe together.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Well, they control the numbers now... not that they know how these work, mind you. As long as they sound bigly, all is well in Lala-land.
Sh*t for brains #... 🤔 God, I've lost count... 😒

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.
Diejenigen, die uns Geimpften erzählt haben, wir wären alle vor 4 Jahren gestorben, behaupten heute, mit allem Recht gehabt zu haben.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Fatality.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳
I had a client visit my studio to commission a painting. She asked why I wasn't married, and I said I was to my husband. She said " I'm a Christian, so that isn't real." I said " Thank you for your interest in my work, but I don't work for Christians, their religion isn't real".
To get into the twisted heads of the people behind this, I recall an editorial Jenna Ellis (Trump's former attorney and co-defendant) wrote right after 49 people were killed at Pulse nightclub. She urged Christians not to let any sympathy soften their hatred for gay people. #EvilMeanPeople.
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Wokeness, also die Idee gegenseitigen Respekts und Achtsamkeit, ist wie „Gutmensch“ ein Schimpfwort. Wann wurde eigentlich die Vorstellung, rücksichtsvoll miteinander umzugehen, so anstrengend, dass wir uns entschieden, „egoistisches Arschloch“ sei das erstrebenswertere gesellschaftliche Konzept!?
OK, we could come to an agreement there...
So am I and I know exactly what I DON'T want... 😏

The damage this man has done is incalculable.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Be careful what you wish for. the French Revolution ended with all its leaders under the guillotine. Instead of a free republic, the Reign of Terror lead to a self-crowned emperor and the reinstatement of monarchy. I've always thought of the apparatus as a questionable symbol...
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
the harsh realization that every single administration hire is one of the shittiest unqualified mediocre people in the world
Thank you Canada
Nice fake, but beautiful, if that's all that counts...
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
And you wonder why young women are getting more progressive.
I'm starting to believe this is Mother Nature's desparate attempt at eradicating the stupidity epidemic. Clean out the gene pool, so to speak. And RFK Jr. is her prime weapon...
C’mon brain worm, your time to shine!
THIS guy has a mitochondrial challenge in every single one of his brain cells (the few that he's got, anyway)...
You have me laughing tears. Thanks, I really needed that.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚
The 2A gun nuts who were ready to arm themselves if the government deployed the mitary to silence them have been awfully quiet lately.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
It'll be interesting to see how long they'll put up with this, becoming the laughing stock. But all in all, this is much better than having them actively checking and arresting people. And Washington D. C. gets free services. Just shows that the whole thing was brain dead from the beginning...
1. The situation in Florida is growing more tense with the erasure of Pride crosswalks. After state officials painted over the Pulse Memorial sidewalk in Orlando, Florida Citizens painted them back. Now the state has sent 7 squad cars to stare at the crosswalk. Subscribe to support our journalism
TIL that Capt. Charles Boycott was an English land agent who evicted Irish farmers in 1880 after a poor harvest. In response, domestic workers stopped working for him, businesses stopped trading with him, postmen refused to deliver the mail. "Boycott" was in popular use within a few months.
OMG, this could be an original sound bite from the Kremlin, no matter which decade (except Gorbachev's term, maybe)...
Max Planck once said that physics advances one funeral at a time. The same is true of a society and culture. I would add that some funerals make more difference than others, and one, right now, would make a very big difference indeed.
ICE tried to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda — a country he has zero ties to. U.S. law requires deportation to a nation of citizenship or residence. Uganda is neither. This isn’t immigration policy — it’s ILLEGAL, authoritarian, police-state abuse of power.
😮
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
Merz & Co. geben Merkels Politik die Schuld am Erstarken der AfD. Als Merz den CDU-Vorsitz übernahm, stand die AfD bei 10 % (Forsa). Als Merz die Wahl gewann, stand die AfD bei 20 %. Heute steht die AfD bei 26 %. Ich weise nur darauf hin.
This guy, I swear.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
The Constitution can't work because it's rooted in the idea of honor and decency - words which no longer have meaning for most Republicans. In fact, I believe they've gone out of fashion all together...
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
It pisses me off that gay people are hated mostly because of some poorly translated ancient outdated book full of other bullshit idiots base their entire lives on. Religion is a curse, man.
Rolling over laughing. If the only way to ensure a modicum of respect for the rule of law in the EU is money, then the EU is in deep shit. We already knew this of course seeing Orban, PiS etc trample all over the rule of law and make a mockery of it.
She was right all along… try and imagine how peaceful and pleasant it would be living in the USA if she was president
A gateway to a world of wonder...

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
I am not sure if what I am feeling is a patriot crush or what… but there are some feelings. ✊🏼
And we all know why: they wouldn't follow illegal orders. Trumps muppets will...
It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act. Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.
All Folks Had To Do Was Vote For The Super Qualified Black Lady… With A Degree In Economics
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Nah, let's just wait and see... Then it's just "or".
You know, that thing with the numbers and, and ... that with the brain? It isn't so easy for some of us... I mean them. What did I mean again...?
I'll start celebrating when I see her order really obeyed... Until then 😒🫤.
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
