The chance to avoid a nuclear Iran was the 2015 treaty—which was blown up by Trump and Netanyahu. What a dangerous world we live in, ruled by fanatics and idiots.

The fact that they've opportunistically hit the Full Fascism button at the first opportunity, and that turned out to be LA, indicates a lack of coherent planning, which is good. But the fact that it's still kind of working indicates total messaging capture, which is bad.

Also, it's amazing but not at all surprising how much of the media has uncritically parroted Noem's line that Senator Padilla "lunged" at her. Again, without noting that THERE IS CLEAR VIDEO EVIDENCE HE DID NO SUCH THING. This isn't only bad journalism; its a racist trope that KILLS men of colour.

more crime in america

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

Senator Padilla was no angel

I feel extremely safe or that its likely they'll kill me to prevent the Empire torturing me for information.

Aren't the Police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite? Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?

If zohran mamdani wins I will take a six month hiatus from making fun of New York City on the condition that he doesn't reveal himself to be a psycho embarrassment during that time, in which case I will resume

Still wild the choice comes down to a guy who wants to give everyone free groceries and a serial sex pest who resigned in disgrace

Maybe at some point we ought to examine how uncritical consumption of corporate IPs tuned to mass-market appeals and childhood nostalgia forms the core of a reactionary politics, because people would rather be cozy and cute and inoffensive than disturb the 'peace' of an unjust status quo.

Shit gives me hope.

FUN FACT: When fascism came to America all of the 2nd Am. ammosexuals stood all the way the fuck down. Not a peep out of the “don’t tread on” me crew. Not a word. It was the uber liberally hippy avocado toast betas of California who stared down the GESTAPO and said “not the fuck on my watch!”

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

Goes extremely hard.

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

Greta Thunberg got bad write-ups from Julie Burchill, Brendan O'Neill, Suzanne Moore, Zoe Strimpel and Piers Morgan, the fabled "Arsehole Voltron"

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable

I doubt there's any actual policy goal difference between Trump and Helen Lewis. She just wants it to be quicker, quieter and "more polite"

This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

I do not have the words for how angry this makes me. This guy is single-handedly undoing a centuries of effective public health policy. He will be appointing people who sell supplements.

do not let terfs get away with THIS they've spent the last decade pushing propaganda in to the liberal mainstream on behalf of the american religious right. the 'gender ideology' conspiracy theory she believes comes from the far right @aiannucci.bsky.social: pls tell your bestie to go fuck herself

Never, ever, ever let these bigoted arseholes launder their reputation. They have normalised transphobia and in doing so emboldened the far-right in the UK. Helen Lewis should never be allowed to divorce herself from the damage she has inflicted.

I'd *like* to be extremely concerned about the marines being deployed to an American city and the scientific committee that determines vaccine schedules being disbanded, but I'm gonna hold off until the Distraction Knowers give the okay

Anybody who thinks the Mexican flag is bad optics simply doesn’t like Mexicans. They don’t seem to understand people who have no issue with Mexicans didn’t think about the flag being there whatsoever

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

Helen Lewis is just panicking that Trump's brand of openly rabid transphobia makes her 'polite' brand of transphobia look particularly evil and insidious Her UK handlers are worried and have issued her with damage control orders

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...
