Where do I sign up for the procedure that prevents me from seeing, hearing, or having to think about HP and its fascist author ever again?
Proof, if it were needed, that Farage has no interest in better outcomes for UK. Instead, he wants to find external means of support for his ethnonationalist agenda.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
It's a top ten state for rape, and you are a rapey person?
Why would a teacher from NY or CA want to move to Oklahoma? Give me one good reason.
damn
There are many, many problems with this line of argument but perhaps the most obvious is that it requires me to trust him — and in my opinion everything that comes out of his mouth is unadulterated horseshit.
Being a doctor in the US in 2025 #Medsky
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein
This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
every day this country stomps my heart into a pulp
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
between #Trump #Abbott & #Cruz they want a government so big it will spend hundreds of millions of dollars sending ICE agents & national guard & the military all over #America 2 paint walls invade & harass cities where they R not wanted but also a government so small it cant help drowning children
Even if Nigel Farage doesn't make it to Downing Street, his hateful politics will, and the way in which the media works is a big part of the reason why.
Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130, in which he demolishes ideals of beauty in the name of being able to see and celebrate a speaking, breathing, walking woman. It’s not that she’s “not pretty”, it’s that ideals of beauty are fundamentally destructive. Goodbye to “the goddess” and good riddance! #earlymodern
Cracker Barrel caved so the race is on to find the next thing MAGA will cry about uncontrollably
who are these kiss asses?
Today's mood:
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
on one hand the antlered-ness of santa's reindeer in the middle of winter seems to imply that they're female, since male reindeer don't keep their antlers year round on the other hand, typically neither male nor female reindeer fly, so
THIS
To make it worse, the same guy in this last story called the opposing political party "a domestic extremist organization." This is 5-alarm fire stuff, people. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 bsky.app/profile/esqu...
Not very surprising that she would endorse the plagiarism machine. www.huffpost.com/entry/melani...
This is a form of child abuse. "A.i." damages people's ability to think critically, robs people of the joy and human experience of creating art, and exposes them to propaganda controlled by fascist billionaires. Obscene. Do not let your kids participate in this. Yell at anyone who pushes it.

If millions of people's identities get stolen, it will be entirely fair to blame the Supreme Court and take appropriate actions to that effect.
yep assless chaps are a thing
It’s funny, we never get those anguished “but how will I explain this to my child?” posts when it’s armed goons violently snatching people off the street. They save that for the real horrors, like someone having two dads.
I can't believe people are comparing Netanyahu to Satan. Yes, he's evil, but he's certainly not as evil as Netanyahu.
#IKissAndMakeUpAfter a minor disagreement, not after losing an election.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
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.
Everybody enabling this shit, every rank and file ICE bozo, needs to understand the possibility that their side will not, in fact, be in power in perpetuity and that some day they're going to have to answer for their actions.
The Heritage Foundation — America’s foremost terrorist group
A number of protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.
The people trying to cure cancer, understand Alzheimer's, treat chronic diseases. Whose funding has been taken by Donald Trump. I would love for somebody to explain how this Makes America Great Again. Or Makes America Healthy Again. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/o...

either that or you get "but why" and then you explain and THEN they say "oh okay cool". it's so easy. kids fucking love learning
Conservatives are Confuciused about a lot of things, which is why they've confused a conman for a great leader.
Il a raison, n'est-ce pas?
Literally the stupidest post ever posted.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
Masked, un-uniformed, unidentified secret police ambushes. What could go wrong?

So do they have the evidence it was faked?

🍃 🏛️ Federal Judge Orders Alligator Alcatraz Immigrant Detention Center to be Shut Down 🧪 A victory for the fragile Everglades ecosystem and all who support human rights Preliminary ruling, case will continue to be litigated
That’s what good parents are for! We don’t EVEN REALLY have understand what why or how — lol
One of the hilarious things about having a good relationship with my parents as a grown adult is that they hate all of my work nemeses
“Alligator Alcatraz” must wind down operations, judge rules - Bloomberg— I’m sorry - I thought we agreed to send the entire Trump Administration there, along with their ICE queens, come the revolution. Now we will have to just ship them to Putin. wholesale. No tariffs no returns
In November 2024, I made a list of things I thought the fascism theory of Trumpism predicted could happen.
“Someday, I hope, we’re going to have a reckoning over the horrors of this moment, but I don’t think we can do it without a clearer understanding of how this fits into U.S. history. There’s a tendency to say, “This isn’t who we are,” and I get the impulse, but history is never that simple.”
The WSU librarian just told me I’m one of their favorite customers. I can’t imagine why. For a historian from Brazil, this level of access to books never stops feeling miraculous. It's what makes trying to write a global history of Salvador feasible in the first place. All hail librarians!
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
the writing’s pretty but I will have to take your word for it being English-lol
Uh, is “lose” the right verb here?
May he start a trend.
Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past. This important book is out 16 September: press.princeton.edu/books/ebook/... @carlbfrey.bsky.social
BIG WIN: A court ordered the Trump Education Department to reinstate the civil rights workers they fired. I taught kids with disabilities––the kind of students helped by these workers. Every child deserves to be treated fairly. I’m staying in this fight for our kids.
NEVER FORGET— The Heritage Foundation,PragerUniversity,Hillsdale College ARE THE ENEMY of Reason
A Trump guts public broadcasting, entities like Prager “University”—a right-wing, unaccredited propaganda machine that cloaks itself in the language of education while spreading xenophobic hate—seek to fill that void. This isn’t an accident. It’s a strategy. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-war...
When African Americans applied to segregated southern universities, white officials would routinely dig into their personal lives to find any semblance of dirt that they could play up to pretend they were criminals and therefore unfit to attend the school.
Trump Economy update: America’s largest retailer Walmart announces it will have to raise prices because of *checks notes* tariffs. Weird.
Heard James Dobson died. I grew up listening to Focus on the Family a lot. But this will be Dobson's legacy to me. Can you believe the guy who wrote this about character in leadership (about Clinton) became an unapologetic Trump supporter? Dobson's hypocrisy now represents the evangelical standard.
Round up every last Trumpfascist and put THEM in the alligator camps for treason. Run on that promise. Now THAT would be justice.
Perfect—he is-WAS-nice chunk of the reason we are in this current shithole of a political climate—shan’t miss his ilk!
James Dobson’s dead, so at least that’s something. Keep going and see how many more bastards you can outlive.

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad “Most witches don’t believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don’t believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman.”
Honestly, the funniest thing about this is that over the past 50 years, there have been more Republican presidents who were male cheerleaders than those who have been in combat.
14 year olds saying "right wing" things says more about right wing things than the 14 year olds.
Completely agree. I was very aware bigotry was real & dangerous at all points of my conscious life, but I'd also have (almost) always accepted "it's a joke specifically because the subject matter is OBVIOUSLY, by overwhelming consensus, the absolute worst" until ~2015-16ish.
There is not enough cells in all of the detention centers for Trumps , his lackeys ,the cowards of the MAGA movement and the TERRORISTS OF THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION when the wind changes’
Fuck Paxton’s little Tarrant County judge and Fuck Texas Republicans
Can anyone suggest a support committee for Democratic legislators opposing redistricting in Texas now that O’Roarke’s has been barred by a rightwing judge?
If this is what Fox is saying, you know it was a disaster.
Who is surprised
you’re telling me the trump administration was lenient toward someone accused of sex crimes against children? crazy

Oh thanks! This is super helpful.
Past Time the HERITAGE FOUNDATION was branded a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION by ANY THINKING PERSON!
This is one of the many obvious reasons why it was impossible to take the Fierce Urgency of "Kamala Harris Must Do Interviews & Answer More Detailed Policy Questions with the Right Journalists" seriously.
