I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be
Not enough people in power sitting with the fact that the US is the most well funded child rape and murder operation in human history
Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change
this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview
our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor
donald trump and his cabinet are using the power of the government to cover up allegations he raped a child
Pack the court with so many people that you won't even know their names. That it won't even be news when one of them dies. That they have to meet in an NFL stadium. That their relatives won't realize they're related to a Supreme Court justice. That they quit because they don't feel important.
There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"
What’s so awful and stupid about this is that it applies to every single right-wing “Intellectual.” The whole culture is a snake pit of race science cranks and misogynist perverts. They have not changed their positions meaningfully since the civil war began.
Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧
The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.
May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.
A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again
And if you'd like some, a lovely designer we know created them so we could drop ship 1000 to Minneapolis and the other designs are free for you to download, print at home, or have bulk printed!

Don’t let them focus on the circumstances of the murder of a U.S. Citizen or when they saw his gun…Make them answer what causes an ICU nurse who cared for veterans with no criminal record to risk, then GIVE his life to protect complete strangers.
Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position
They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
the failure of Dem opposition still comes from the party being without shared beliefs such that the only message they can agree on is affordability.
the party as a whole won’t condemn cops. they won’t call for a wealth tax. they won’t call for expansive labor rights. they’re lost but hate the left.
I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”
the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun
Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of
More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!
A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:
