This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.
Kind of wonky about health care, and I can be pretty saucy on here.

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people
I'm always telling people who express concern for my riding all about Denver on my bike that I am undoubtedly safer than they are in their cars. Because it's true.
Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough
It's just a way of living in fear, right? Just letting fear run your life, it really is very sad.
Yeah I told her to just keep trying pharmacies!
My sister in AZ was denied, they said she had to get an RX from her doc, so weird.
Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:
Every time he shows up in something I'm happy because it always means that thing is going to be better than I was expecting, he is an absolute treasure.
I saw this one in the theater with my kids and we all just loved it, very underrated, I am always the only one I know who feels such fondness for it.
One of the previously critically injured victims has, in fact, passed away. The other remains in critical condition, not at all clear they will survive.
One thing Charlie Kirk's assassination has revealed is the extent to which the elite liberal media class has abandoned reality for a post-truth politics previously embraced by the right.
We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.
The right side of Trump's face was drooping during a 9/11 commemoration today (Getty)
Yo so are people in the Epstein birthday book, who very very extremely were all complicit in his sex crimes, gonna get legally punished? Or is the thought generally that since one of them is the President of the United States whose personality cult won't allow him to be punished they're all immune?
I went to my PCP today and I was genuinely surprised to learn that six cups of coffee a day is "a lot of caffeine". Who knew.
I have type 1 diabetes and insulin pump + CGM technology has gotten way way better over the last ten years, making me safer and hopefully able to live longer. 💜
Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus
Not comprehending how the same @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social who interviewed me wrote this. I support the instinct to turn down the volume. But you can't simultaneously warn that we're the brink of authoritarianism while valorizing one of authoritarianism's most influential architects and supporters.
Aaron, I feel like I'm going crazy. I just watched him live, the right side of his face is very clearly drooping and his voice was weaker than I have ever heard it and nobody seems to be saying anything about this. This man is clearly very very unwell.
Holy shit.
Disgusting.
Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
I take comfort in the fact that they are absolute buffoons who have systematically fired anyone competent enough to actually accomplish this.
Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽♀️

We should all be praying for his demise before he blows us all off the earth.
He believes he is on a TV show. Literally. His long standing and incurable personality disorder + advancing dementia and here we are. He is not in touch with reality.
🛎️🛎️🛎️
And also can we get some actual investigative reporting on who drew that awful scene with the balloons?????? SOMEONE knows who drew that, probably lots of people know. We need to find every single author of every single message in that book!
YEEEESSSSSSS!! I do not understand why someone doesn't ask, if you didn't draw it how and why do you think it was created? What is your theory here? Instead we all have to hear about tail ends of signatures, it's unfuckingbelievable.
Is it just me or did his security detail take their sweet time on this one?
Call me a romantic, but I'm really rooting for these two.
Yeah what the hell?
Seems bad!
Omfg every single time I think it can't get worse, it does.
It was described in the wapo article I read, but it's so much worse than any description could convey, my god.
Turn out that if you hit a globally integrated $30 trillion capitalist economy with tariffs, policy chaos, crackdowns on immigrant labor, and government layoffs, it starts to wilt. Who knew? www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...
Just saying, all of this evidence has been laying around for years, not locked behind vault doors, with both the victims and the people im possession of the evidence talking about it and making it available, nobody is a hero at this point, on either side.
Not that it matters but I love how Dems in Congress are acting like they were James Bond going through all sorts of fire and adventure to get this book for the justice of it all when actually Epstein's estate was like "yes we have this and will gladly turn it over."
This entire thread is why everyone should be here and not there.
The first demand to keep the government open is firing Kennedy and restoring the vaccine recommendations.
I say walk your dog and sing your truth. The question isn't why you are singing while walking your dog, but why everyone else isn't singing while walking their dog.
I simply cannot imagine how events like the World Cup or the Olympics can be safely held here. I know that's beside the point, but I keep being surprised it's not talked about more given stories like this one, how can governments possibly ensure their athlete's safety here?
When I was in high school an economics teacher showed the class a picture of a bunch of Russians on the beach, pointed out how fat and pasty they all were and then said that was because communism. So that's my silver lining, I plan on blaming my pasty fatness on Trumpism.
He can't even live by his own oppressive ideology, he left his wife and the mother of his children to pursue an affair with his research assistant who was helping him write a book all about how poor people should morally conduct themselves.
I think it's like a pyramid scheme. He's the pyramid, if they stop propping him up with more money then the whole thing comes crashing down.
Yeah I put this down to the fundamental embarrassment and shame he has regarding his kid, it's very sad how he can't see how brightly that girl shines, other parents would be proud.
There is no problem or issue for which Ross Douthat will not blame women, it's his entire career.
Where's your God now?
Omfg it's clearly Blaine.
There is a scene in that book that I was just literally crying I was laughing so hard, I'm remembering it again omg😂😂 that was a good book
Why is CNN giving a platform to a nazi?
I spend it like an Xer, do we not exist in wapoland?
Another time I pronounced bison like frisson in front of my entire high school history class.
I once pronounced glower like glow worm and my husband laughed at me, causing a big fight wherein I consulted the dictionary which said either pronunciation (like flower or like glow worm) is correct and my mom scolded him for not understanding that this happens with kids who read a lot.
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
At some point, it will be true. 🌈🕯️🙏🏻📿.
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.”
Disgusting. Is there no end to the obsequiousness of the new Wapo? Have you no shame at all?
Being a Republican means demolishing the planet and still expecting to get invited to dinner. They don’t believe in cutting people off socially over politics—they believe in *murdering* people over politics. Keeping normal relationships with whoever’s left is how they tell themselves they’re ok.
A Trump voter imprisons your neighbor it’s law and order. Kicks their gay kid out its religious conviction. Shoots you dead it’s self defense. Kidnaps you, it’s border security. Invades your town, it’s fighting crime. Tell them you don’t like them anymore, it was all just “political views.”
Adding support to the laughing, your laugh is a spot of joy in a weary world and the person who criticized it maybe needs it the most.
Roses want change, Violets know how,
So happy to see this book being promoted, it was on my top five for last year, I just loved it. I also listened to a lot of podcasts the author was on in promoting and he is just so charming and so brilliant.
Ha! Your new furniture, you're so cute. Love, the cats.
This is what I would do, and maybe include your own info so that if/when he reaches out to thank you, you can give him back the rest of his stuff.
Science: Trump supporters are assholes.
God shut UP.
Can I get an amen.
I would get a hundred mammograms if it meant not having to go to the dentist.
DOING THE WORK.
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."
I love this more than is reasonable.
Are the sandwiches called boats?
also you're welcome and I'm sorry: _________ Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named 'Beth Brave general brought opponents to their death Then one day, he was promoted to a thayne And a treacherous notion come seepin' in his brain Treason that is, assassination, witches and wives ...
They could take on the world.
Just a reminder that while it may feel good to cheer James Dobson’s death, he had a family who loved him and they are grieving, and that’s also a good reason to cheer.
And fucking RICKETS. Literally a disease of malnutrition. Unfuckingbelievable.
😂
I always try to remember this, and I don't think that guy has changed one effing bit from the snide college asshole who invented a site for the express purpose of misogyny. We forget his origin story at our own peril.
Goddamn this just gets better and better
how many hours of tv does the president watch a day
Hundreds of billions of dollars to automate the experience of being groomed in an AOL chat room in 1998
We all saw the hurricane sharpie incident. This is how ignoring that kind of shit turns out.
One of the big myths men have is how terribly complicated and nuanced their ball games are. She knows ball because she loves him and also... it's not actually that hard to learn.
There is no legal or political system that can hold together a culture that has lost all sense of public morality or shame.
This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.
Omg thank you for saying this! Honestly I don't live there and can't even understand any of this.... I pay 2100 a month for my apartment in Denver, how is $2300 a month somehow a subsidy? What the hell?
So I guess we'll be studying eugenics, phrenology, all the racisms, and probly the blood type diet 🙄
I also want the recipe for this one, I'm thinking maybe I'll make a cherry walnut loaf my Fall baking project, it looks delicious.
Ooooooh that is a beautiful looking loaf.
And I believe every single word both of them are saying about each other.... it's fantastic.
Revolting.
Every few years this fucker's name comes up and it never fails to inspire James Carville levels of anger and disgust in me, that these men continue to have such influence.
It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....
