Thankful Malice and Seltzer

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Normalise the second question when you meet an American outside of America being “who did you vote for?”

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

We hold at least as much contempt for them as they have for us.

You’re safe from the headless horseman

This is a good list. I keep screwing myself over with lack of sleep.

Anytime an unvaccinated child or baby dies of a preventable disease, the state should hold the parents criminally responsible.

I am so sick of these parents putting their conspiracy beliefs above their children’s lives.

This is why parents like this should lose custody of their kids I am so serious

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

chasing your best-known and most well-liked talent away from the network you just took over when you were trying to convince him to do more for you is an incredible fucking blunder, but i have faith that bari weiss will reach even more incredible heights of fuckupdom

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

I know Kevin knows this, but the explanation for this is clear: It's racism. Racism and xenophobia and misogyny.

A white native-born American, living in the parts of the country where white native-born men still hold disproportionate power, is the only fully "real" American in the eyes of many.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Being furious about the Super Bowl halftime show isn't a "half the country" thing, the NFL wouldn't have done it if it was. It's a "loud noisy minority who also vote in GOP primaries" thing, and our electoral system gives those people insanely more power than their actual numbers merit.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

it has never been more important than it is right now to post any pictures you take of greyhounds in their little jackets and booties

Yes. Although his district is 3 hours away from Nashville and we didn’t have any outages.

We’re on the Memphis grid which is pretty heavy on the dei (not in Memphis, just nearby). He’s a liar.

That’s my worthless piece of shit rep!

ilhan omar is actually one of the bravest people in the world.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

I’m an eternal pessimist but Bovino getting run out of Minneapolis with his tail between his legs is a win.

Celebrating a victory on Monday doesn’t mean you’re giving up the fight for Tuesday.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

And there it is

I’m seeing a lot of calls for punishment of ICE agents and DHS leadership.

But don’t forget that a thirst for punishment can leave the victims behind. Our top priority should be rebuilding the communities that ICE is trying to destroy.

This does appear to be real. Look at what Minnesotans are doing. Just incredible.
