hey I've seen this one
Aubrey Plaza did it better though sorry not sorry
She really does look like she belongs on the set of Megalopolis in this photo
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when thereβs an emergency in Texas
Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.
Another reason why prime ministers are better than presidents. Once a PM gets turfed out of office, often they just go back to the legislature, no better or worse than any other member. Thatβs why John Quincy Adams was the only ex-president to get it right by going back to House of Representatives.
Must suck to live in a nuclear power run by a sundowning tyrant who thinks heβll be in power forever and who will leave only ruin in his wake. Couldnβt be me lol
Yes yes technically Turkey uses a president now but letβs not pretend that ErdoΔan isnβt just jealous of the OsmanoΔlu family
I mean yeah IIRC Adams is just in the pocket of the Turkish Sultan and not also a serial rapist like Trump and Fredo Cuomo so
NEW: DC grand jurors reject more Justice Dept cases Former DOJ attorney: βNot only have I never heard of this happening, I've never heard of a prosecutor who's heard of this happeningβ www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
βOur new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery β¦ is his natural and normal condition.β βAlexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy
Yeah actually in the 1850s when there were literal canings in Congress it was because Congress was actually interested in doing things and today theyβd prefer to just kind of sit pretty for an actual dictator in literal terminal decline
the fuck are we doing here, exactly
Going to bed but holy shit I hate Nazis
The press is the enemy
In related news they announced a Call of Duty movie today
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
Guess itβs pretty easy to learn how to type at the phone keyboard with your off-hand
You know he actually wrote this cause of the scare quotes around blood
should we thank the US for support against Japan, the greatest thread in the history of Weibo
Paradox-brain-ass regime (intensely derogatory)
The dirty little secret is there has been zero American casualties and thus the public doesnβt care and wonβt punish Trump politically
Many people are saying that there may be a certain fishermanβs wife who could answer very many of these Questions
I have Questions about the position of the octopus on the cover of Mr. OβNeilβs book
Like how the fuck was this movie made in the first place but also
That having Laurence Fishburne literally quote from The Aeneid in his role as narrator and having a scene where Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel have a nice chat in classical Latin could be considered subtle in 2025 is depressing and also should give you hope for your own artistic endeavours
this is the greatest comedy scene in all of cinema
Insert the Bismarck quote about Providence, drunks, infants, and the US&A here if you like
we live in the unholy combination of a tom clancy, tom wolfe, and william gibson novel
I realize Winston isnβt a popular guy around here, but it still strikes me as less than ideal that the right is cancelling their symbol of opposition to Nazism.
Amazingly, American leadership as sole superpower may very well survive Trump and Vanceβs best efforts to destroy it
Bill Kristol being a more reliable ally than half of the institutional Democratic Party seems tailor-made to drive me insane.
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, Iβm like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
Absolutely not anyoneβs editor irl:
This is what feces looks like when you put makeup on it.
the basic argument of these guys is that lincoln was wrong, douglass was wrong, jefferson was wrong.
I do think itβs important to understand the more esoteric political threads in natconism but frankly this sounds no different from George Wallace.
If we ever find our way out of this, one of the big reforms we should demand is for the United States to finally recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and let the chips fall where they may.
I know Bellβs Palsy when I see it and this man has it
He definitely had a big old stroke last week and itβs very unlikely that with all his other documented health issues that heβll recover
Heβs mostly talking out of the left side of his mouth as well. Right eye doesnβt look droopy but that extra hour or however long until it started was probably used for makeup/prostheses to mitigate
strange. fabric doesn't normally fall like that across an arm.
think about how rotten your soul has to be, how broken your moral compass, to think drag queen story hour is a sign of social decay but snuff films of war crimes is exemplary, stand out, should be shared far and wide. these people are sick
Some TX teacher who dgaf should lead their class in a recitation of the Shahada and watch those kidsβ parentsβ heads π€―.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Ahem.
When @liberalcurrents.com published this in September 2024, folks on the right told me it was unfair or alarmist.

baudrillard could not have better predicted the form of postmodern fascism

The Trump regimeβs domestic terrorist organizationβICEβnow has access to an Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps, building their capability to target dissidents.
That itβs presumably at Trumpβs orders makes it even more civil war flavored
If he hasnβt federalized the TX guard itβs straight-up Abbott invading Chicago
Me, every fucking day since Jan 20 2025:
Itβs even more insane since itβs the TX guard which is just straight-up Bleeding Kansas shit
2024 was the Revenge of the Bosses bsky.app/profile/croa...
to be fair based on how Twitter centrists have rolled over it's not hard to see why they thought online was real life
Pritzker should mobilize the Illinois National Guard to oppose them. Extreme? Maybe. But I donβt see why he should just let another state effectively invade his.

Probably the most evil state government of anywhere in the country

BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
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
NOW: Big protest going on outside the White House. Protestors are demanding release of Epstein files and the end of the National Guard deployment in D.C. This is some visual. (πΈ Status Coup News)
look i'm not saying we can meme Pritzker, a man of Ukrainian Jewish decent, into our Poroshenko/Zelenskyy but what if
with a little work we can convince Nate Silver that "touchgrass" is a social media site where every one is making fun of him
Everybody staring at the people outside in Sinners:
Sinners was a documentary
Wow! President Tariff Otaku looks very sad in this Presserβdid someone take away his Smoot-Hawley Waifu Pillow? Is that why he completely and totally Disappeared for Several Days? Congress MUST INVESTIGATE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
One place where I have felt myself _shift_ over the last couple years is I really do think that more people should have some concept of their soul or a concept of virtue and vice that would allow them to recognize the kind of cumulative, corrosive spiritual damage what's in the quoted post does.
these people need to log off. seriously. bluesky this, bluesky that, how about you look at some actual blue skies and get off the internet for ten minutes
they genuinely do not understand the world of the American far right or the postliberal movement in America the pundit equivalent of General MccLellan
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Yeah Greg βMoloch on Wheelsβ Abbott and the alt-right freaks that I run into in this hellhole just about every damn day are more responsible for my hatred of the Republican Party and everything it stands for than any political thinker
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dogβs head, iβm not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, youβve got the heaviest soul weβve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? theyβve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
Bleaker than the average November evening in Lancashire tbh
Brexit Island appears determined to answer the question βwhat if Norsefire, but as a multi-party democracy?β
Hannah Arendt: If βgiven irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical clevernessβ
this is literally just racism
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
THIS is a leader.
Literally haven't seen this mentioned on any of my socials but Indonesia has erupted after a cop ran over a delivery courier.
Useful frame for understanding Trumpism from @aselrod.bsky.social: "Itβs not merely rule by the worst but an active assault on virtue wherever it exists. Trump/MAGA have turned the country over to the cruelest, most rapacious, and least honorable among us." www.liberalcurrents.com/let-it-burn-...
as always I blame AG Sulzberger
This is a must-read article.
Of course he was trying to rape a kid when he got βcarjackedβ β¦ many very fine people in this regime
thread form Alec i'm just not worried - at all - about liberal anger going 'too far', the primary failure of liberalism, for decades, has been us *forgoing* justice & accountability after bush v gore, the iraq war, endless criminality, & a literal coup attempt
I am not normally a conspiracy guy but that doesnβt look much like Trump at all. It looks like an aged David Lander, best known for playing βSquiggyβ on Laverne and Shirley. Lander died in 2020.
'democrats are obliged to govern but republicans get a pass' is bizarrely the mentality of both establishment institutions and a lot of leftist posting.
Exactly
The near total disinterest in Trumps v obviously deteriorating physical health & mental acuity from the same press that went into a feed frenzy over speculations about Bidens health--to the point of inventing conspiracy theories--has been one of the most cynical things I think I've ever witnessed.
The great thing about drumbeating this is if heβs *actually* sick at all and doesnβt want to do public stuff you can force them to trot him out anyway
I think when it does happen we will find out in the most undignified, hilarious manner possible.
