This really got hammered home for me when I learned that a bazillion people saw all the Trump/Epstein party pictures for the first time like…a month ago. Whereas most of us could draw them from memory for YEARS. But where would they have seen them before now?!?! Fox isn’t showing them!
Does he really think "mutilizaton" is a word? Can't anyone tell him he sounds like a moron?
In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
To repeat - they haven’t been nearly as obstructionist as the McConnell senate. They literally constantly vote for his nominees and until their feet are held to the fire it was the Dem leader who voted to fund the govt. They’ve been collaborating instead of opposing.
That’s why one of the most important thing in politics from elected leaders, activists and concerned citizens is MAKING NOISE. When you make noise it leaks over to normies and in between episodes of Young Sheldon something slips in and pushes them to vote. Thats what we should strive towards.
Big part of my deal is reminding liberals our media habits are very different from the average non political person. And I don’t mean that in a value judgement way, I watch garbage tv too. But it means people simply aren’t aware of 99.9% of the stuff we think is “everywhere.”
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
Today just felt like the disaster of Trump's war--the stunning lack of strategy and the ramifications --came much more sharply into view. Not even the most hardcore MAGA cultist can defend it as it spirals.
come for hauling ICE agents into congressional hearings to be "berated," stay for ensuring "individuals who have been harmed by ICE can sue for money damages."
This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.
It's really hard to understand how Tricia McLaughlin found time to steer her hubby a sweet propaganda contract, what with her non-stop lying (it may help that she told the same lies every time an ICE goon assaulted a protester).
But DailyWire describes she did!

“Trump is like your friend who’s borderline. You need compliant news orgs who will keep their coverage within the drama & not stepping back from the crisis du jour to look at the bigger context, which is that these situations are almost always of Trump’s own making, & inflamed by his incompetence.”
When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The follow-up needs to be “so obviously that mission was a failure then right?”
Subservience markers.
apparently he's got this thing for these shoes and he guesses people's size and orders them and none of them have the balls to say, Oh sorry these don't fit me!
Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: “The buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."
It is already funny but now it’s become far funnier because they know everyone knows and is looking at their shoes but they still have to do this
One of my favorite parts of this whole thing is that it implies Rubio lied about his shoe size.
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'
Here’s the reason the United States bombed the Children’s school in Iran.
And yes, it’s Trumps fault.

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
Pictures of burning oil tankers running nonstop on CNN, oil up sharply. Huge tactical success for Iran’s apparent “okay let’s stop being cagey and just make a bunch of stuff go boom in front of cameras” plan
we just cant afford universal health care guys. enough with your pie in the sky left wing claims that we have billions to spend on pursuits like that.
its like you and i lived through the show before bsky.app/profile/owil...
Obama in Oval Office
It’s why Trump has his pet blacks like Herschel Walker and Mike Tyson. For the conservative white man that’s as far as black people are supposed to go. Dance for me, monkey. Do sports. President? Senator? lol ok monkey don’t get crazy now.
Obama broke their racist fucking brains.
This is not a serious party
All the Democrats had to do was crib from the playbook the GOP used against Clinton, Obama, Biden. Instead they’ve been accommodationists to a fault. Sure they’re not fascists like the right, but they’re soft on fascism.
