The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

this is the most sociopathic thing ive ever seen and i wrote a whole book about neonazis

The one and only Sam Seder on my show talks the rise of independent/progressive media, Trump's corruption, Gaza and more. youtu.be/HDjSRptJcyM?...

First ballot hall of fame… for something. Not sure what.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Crisis on Infinite Versions!

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.” I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

Legit one of the greatest troll 🧵’s ever witnessed - posting “sensible centrist” talking points!… about transgender policy!!… on BLUESKY!!! 🤯

Tanking is good now.

At the core of the counterargument to Trumpism is the ideal that we are all in this together. There is no one who deserves neglect or suffering from the government because of their political views. Not even if they voted for the suffering of others.

“She means ‘fewer.’” - a Harvard graduate

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

again, the trump regime is indistinguishable from a foreign attack in some ways it's worse

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”

This is a man who is selling something. Nothing to do with politics. Full stop.

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

People my age and younger don’t even know what pensions ARE. Gen Z hasn’t even been told what was taken away from us!! When you don’t know what has gotten worse or why it’s much easier to be sold a lie by the people taking it away from you!!

Being a real man seems tiring. I hope at least some of y’all get to be fake men, who are allowed to eat ice cream and hug their kids.

Star Wars opened today in 1977, I'm enormously fond of the first, terrible, trailer 20th Century Fox cut for it. They had no idea how to sell it, or faith in the project, and it it shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHk5...

The reason you can’t afford a home, healthcare, or retirement is because billionaires took your money. If you want these things you have to take it back.

i think it’s interesting that random podcasters are “the left” but none of these people seem to care that JD Vance actively pals around with internet nazis

Please do not cite the Black freedom movement [aka the Civil Rights Movement] - more people protested en mass in 2020 then at any point in time during the Civil Rights era.

TJ McConnell a real hooper

"What movie traumatized you as a child" All of them. It was 1985, there were no non-traumatic movies to watch as a child
