I have a feeling that in 2028/29 there is going to be a big push among the biggest chucklefucks and professional wreckers in the American media to talk about forgiveness and reconciliation and it's very important that whoever comes after Trump does not listen to them
these people are destroying my country if not the world. we're not gonna be able to fix that in 4/8 years. but ensuring it never happens again? yeah we can -must!- do that.
I’m sure it was exhilarating and transgressive that you got to yukk it up with nazis while they cracked Holocaust jokes. It must’ve been real fun.
And now all the fun is gone and it’s finally dawning on you that maybe their Holocaust jokes weren’t just jokes.
This was the White House's war plan:
Day #1 : Bomb
Day #2: Iran becomes a white Christian nationalist country
Day #3: Free gas
Day 4: Kid Rock concert/UFC fight broadcast from Tehran
So far, things are a bit off track
Preschool kids being shot at because they're Jewish? Matt Stoller says, eh, not a problem
Corporations are not in fact people; therefore it’s fine to punish the shit out of them when they sneak a toe out of line
Incidentally, I have decided that I can be generally against carceral punitive logic when it comes to individual humans and wildly in favor of it when it comes to institutions and not only is that not an inherent conflict of principle, it’s probably way more practical
I don't have the specific type of book larnin' to back up the assertion that I'm about to make, but the purpose of AI as Musk, Altman, and the rest of the fuckin rejects see it, is to build women who can't refuse them or talk back to them.
This ignores the problem that many of our institutions can be (& are being) sabotaged by one faction or party that doesn’t want those institutions to work.
i think jamelle bouie is where i got this point from (though its obviously not unique to him): trump doesnt escape consequences so much as the institutions designed to impose consequences refuse to penalize him. this is absolutely not the same thing. hes not magic, people are just lazy and stupid.
'throw the economy into a brick wall right at the end of your term so dems have to pick up the pieces' is standard policy. doing it at the beginning makes escaping the crash-out a bit harder
I think people have an unfortunate tendency to view Republicans as God’s way of punishing liberals and the left rather than proponents of a political ideology in their own right.
This is a war where we should be rooting for the ruin of every political regime involved--MAGA, Bibi, the Ayatollahs, the slaving Gulf kleptokakistocracies.
The reason choads like Duffy are afraid of public transit isn’t crime - it’s the fear of having to be in close proximity to people who don’t look like themselves. Law firm partners and investment bankers ride the same subway as home health care aides and construction workers.
The POLITICS (tm) that will occur if Iran somehow actually manages to sink a U.S. Navy vessel will create discourse hitherto unimagined by man or beast.
Her website shows a big map of the US with links to all the terrible anti-trans legislation proposed, yikes! Even in blue states, double yikes!! Except you click on them and the blue state bills are all sponsored by Rs and never went anywhere at all. She doesn't put that info front and center, nope.

tweets u post when you r not at all stressed abt the economy
The cool thing about DOGE is that they taught us that ICE can be abolished in an afternoon by the next Dem president. I will only support primary candidates with that attitude.
The only contemporary example of a false flag that I have seen was a right wing agitator shooting at a Minneapolis police station in May 2020 to make it look like violence from liberals protesting the death of George Floyd.
it’s completely fucking insane that the *treasury secretary* is out here pretending to give military briefings, and in a normal administration, he’d get fired for this
They don't like hearing that because it suggests that their failures in life are due to their own inadequacy rather than some nebulous Other that they can blame for their problems.
Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.
Because most of these people have never had to really live under oppression like other demographics they don’t understand that the majority of wyte American voters really do care more about their grocery bill than your Civil Rights.
So again...🗣️Keep talking about how expensive everything is.
Thinking about the pervasive idea that ADHD people are 'addicts' again, this time in the context of how every ADHD person I know tries to only take the pills on days when they have to be On, and how many of us keep doing the "oh I had a good day, maybe I can take the pills less" cycle. (Like me.)
You have GOT to be shitting me with this bullshit! But this isn't the least bit surprising when you really think about it.
Tweet from Aysha: "A man drove his car deliberately into the Temple Israel Synagogue in Michigan? Smells like a false flag to push “Jews aren’t safe” and antisemitism is rising narrative."
The fact that this stuff just instantly starts going around from accounts on social media with tens of thousands of followers is so disturbing.
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Cabinet officials just out here insisting that Charlie Brown had hoes, many hoes, very fine hoes
I know various smart people have written books about the death of expertise in recent years but goddamn it is fucking awful to live through it.
