LOLOLOL I am 100% confident that Hegseth added his personal lawyer to the acts-of-war Signal chat because he believed that meant it'd be privileged information.

Hey, John Roberts? The White House liaison to DHS is saying that you have no understanding of law and its proper function and role.

You should care about Palestinians because they are people but you should also care about them because what they are doing to them is what Western governments are seeing if they can do to all of us in the future

Is anyone else just sick to their stomach about the Supreme court administrative hold on the deportation case? Just me? Maybe I'm overreacting?

Everyone is wondering why Trump supports tariffs, but he keeps explaining it live to camera: he wants to take us back to a 1870-style Guilded Age economy where oligarchs rules without an income tax and we regularly had financial crises due to a total absence of regulations.

They had to start doing fascism after social media gave everyone a front row view to all the richest people being stupid as fuck. Accidentally killed the meritocracy myth and now they’re just brute forcing it

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

Really wish people would stop talking about the problem with Science under Trump as “budget cuts”. No. Budgets are set deliberatively by elected members of congress. Budgets haven’t been cut. What’s happening are *purges* and *censorship*.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

You know, Canadians don't HAVE to be nice to us. It's not their job to pat those of us who voted for Harris/Walz on the head and say "you're OK." I don't get the purpose of "we're the GOOD Americans" energy. Same folks don't care about perception when we're wreaking havoc across the Global South.

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

This is how i responded to @bsky.app:

The worst thing about unsubscribing to the Washington Post is that you can only do it once (from www.thealtmedia.com)

Really interesting post in r/boston about how Patriot Front is being forced to change their tactics due to opposition and having their identities exposed.
