On average, 300 Americans are still dying each week from COVID19. A major part of the reason is that they are not vaccinated. Another is they’ve been led to believe that COVID19 isn’t serious and don’t seek care or test for it.

Biden was just diagnosed with aggressive cancer. 1. F*ck you to all the vultures who have fixated on his health while ignoring both Trump's current mental condition and dismembering of democracy. 2. Even at 50% capacity, Biden was 100 times the President Trump will ever be.

From the looks of this, there are four people on the Russian side of the table (including Putin). And there are just two on the American side — an interpreter of unknown provenance, and a golf buddy of Trump’s who has no training or experience in high-stakes diplomacy

😳 Holy shit. This Vox article is from 2016. Think about that as you read: Curtis Yarvin’s (Moldbug) “vision is corporatist,” where a nation “belongs to corporation.” When asked who shld lead it, Yarvin said, “‘It’s easy to say ‘put Elon [Musk] in charge, he’ll figure it out,’ & he might well…’” 1/

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

I will never understand why Democrats haven’t made Curtis Yarvin a household name. He’s odious and genuinely represents a huge part of what Trump and his regime are trying to do.

Looking forward to Chief Justice Roberts saying absolutely nothing about the Secretary of State, at a Cabinet meeting with the President next to him, remarking—unprompted—that the federal judiciary is beneath him and he will not comply with their rulings.

More evidence of an alliance between the “Tech Bros” & the “Catholic Right”.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely believable. According to Trump, January 2024--when Biden was in office—was Trump’s market. Meanwhile, April 2025—while Trump is in office—that’s Biden’s stock market. Some idiot is going to say this makes sense, too.
