thinking of taking up alcoholism as the only rational response to this newscycle

Arrested for CSA and CSAM is the Republican version of Democrats dying in office.

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

this sort of gives the game away. the whole point of the LA deployment is relitigating the dispute (both political and cultural) that the right feels it lost in 2020

The difference between a human trafficker and a law enforcement officer doing their job is due process. ICE does not give its detainees due process, and regularly sends innocent people to one of the most hellish prisons on Earth. They are the moral equivalent of slave catchers.

My takeaway from this is that the New York Times' brand is "being smug about people being upset about horrific child abuse." That is what Stuart A. Thompson, writer for the New York Times, would like the public to associate with the New York Times: smugness in the face of horror.

If only a major media outlet had seen fit to do an investigation into how a big Twitter account posted notorious child sexual abuse material where millions could see it *for profit*, whereupon Elon Musk personally reinstated his account and then paid him via the influencer program. If only.

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

i want democrats who hate these bastards as much as they love their friends and families

if we are to survive the current American authoritarian turn, then “actually learning when to shut the fuck up on the Internet” has to be among our TOP priorities on the left

I hate soviet gerontocracy comparisons because american gerontocracy is so much more powerful and old....Brezhnev dead at 75. Andropov at 69, Chernenko at 73. pathetic. little babies all of them

How It Started / How It's Going

I enjoyed this meme a lot more when it was referring to Russia's market.

when people say this they imagine, like, artisanal carpentry or baking, not eight hours on the manufacturing line adjusting a thousand widgets because you're marginally cheaper than a machine

Thank you and congratulations to all the Americans who voted for the candidate promising to raise prices because they were concerned about high prices, and thought curbing pandemic inflation faster than any other developed economy was bad economic management.

donald trump has nothing to worry about. a corrupt oligarch with a campaign run by paul manafort has never been brought down over his decision to turn away from closer trade ties with europe in favor of submission to russian domination

"you have to sympathize with the trump voter who thought..." no. sorry. I will not be doing that.

ahh yeah here he comes, big EM, Elon Musk himself, looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart

You have to understand that they hate you. Yes you, the educated liberal or leftist reading this on educated lib-left dot com. They took away AIDS medication from children for the specific purpose of making this video to trigger you. Triggering you is the goal and they will murder children to do it.

we could have had a Parliamentary democracy

The revolution color is going to be silver

trump's argument is that he can order masked men who won't identify themselves to kidnap your children while you sleep and then sell them to die in slavery in a south american despot's concentration camp, and no person on earth can tell him not to

blasting my March Madness anthem today:

i prefer their honest contempt to polite pity. its an incentive for us to rectify our broken system

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I am not the first to say it but I do sort of see where JD Vance's mom was coming from when she traded him for drugs

REJECT THE FALSE DICHOTOMY FIGHT THE COMMON ENEMY THE BUSINESS SCHOOL

a reminder: if you are on a federal grand jury, there is no probable cause. if you are on a federal jury, the defendant is innocent.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

for some reason i don’t think a particular subset of commenters are going to spend the next two years droning on about how they were promised five grand

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Again I’m not joking Canada should take him seriously, trigger NATO article 4 and call his bluff. You can’t normalise this shit.

"donald trump is a literal traitor" is a pretty common belief in the american security services. it's even a pretty common belief among people who served as political appointees in the first trump administration.

If Putin does actually visit the US, it's worth pointing out that the admin is currently dismantling a lot of the security state and counter-terrorism stuff and we're a country where guns are easier to get than alcohol so someone could do something really funny Picture unrelated

saying "go birds" but just rooting for birds in general, hope they're having fun and not catching that flu

We certainly can use the inhuman sociopathy of the Musk/Trump junta against them: they literally struggle to imagine how people with any sense of ethics might be expected to act.

you know, even if you are pessimistic about the idea that we will ever actually retaliate with what these people deserve - and i think it’s entirely fair to be pessimistic - there’s a lot of value in keeping your fucking mouth shut about it.
