Fuck them and the horrors they gleefully cause. Trans people have never not been here. Support trans health clinics and emergency care projects. Mutual aid. This is an emergency. One place: southernequality.org/tyep/

Genuinely no idea how the world looks at this and doesn’t just think the US is run by lunatic racist conspiracy theorists and liars. Because unfortunately, it is. Hugely dispiriting and damaging for the country. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Right, there was a lot going on there and all of it horrid. Trump was spewing racism. Trump was spreading misinformation. Trump was doing Elon's bidding. Trump was shitting all over America's standing. Also, he was still very old. So that's important.

If there's anyone at the New York Times who wants to actually cover politics, there's apparently an entirely new presidential administration in power now and it sounds like they're doing some crazy shit that might actually matter, unlike whatever the fuck this is?

The degree of naïveté revealed by Ellie Avishai here is astonishing

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

These people are the absolute worst

Really need the 98% of Americans who are not Jewish to get this: the people in power who scream the loudest about antisemitism are all Jew-haters and are only using us to further their fascist goals.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

This isn't right even as a matter of literal definitions. Bribery requires quid pro quo. "Corruption" is not limited to bribery. It is corrupt to personally profit off your public office even if it's not direct bribery. Don't finger-wag about "terms matter" if you're going to misdefine said terms.

This reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment, How long before these people who play dress-up like masked authoritarian death squads start to act the part of death squads? It feels like a short distance from illegal and brutal arrests to killing people.

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

For a tea-totaler, Trump sure has a thing for lushes, abcnews.go.com/US/trump-eyi...

Wonder how long it will be until someone discovers Hegseth's secret Grindr profile?

i will never get past this. the collapse of the global trade system because one guy does not understand what a trade deficit is.

Newsome sidles up to order a drink at the Nazi bar

Way to go, Encyclopedia Brownshirt.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

I'm not sure I would describe this as "masculine" so much as "overtly misogynist"

Casar: If anyone ever doubted that Trump, Musk, Bezos, and the billionaires are all on one team, just look at what happened at Amazon today. Bezos immediately caved and walked back a plan to tell Americans how much Trump’s tariffs are costing them. Bezos who spent 40 million on Melania’s documentary

This, from a woman in Oklahoma talking to her local news station, is better than the vast majority of political speeches you'll hear today.

The Trump regime couldn't be more clear about where they're going

This is an absolutely insane thing for an attorney general to say.

I guess I just think anyone who says stuff like "The groupchats are the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion" should be stuffed in a locker and never let out. These groupchats are only powerful because of the sheer concentration of wealth. Your crowd isn't brilliant or clever. You're just rich.

Anyone who thinks this clown and the organization he heads is concerned about anything other than keeping Bibi in power and how comprehensively Palestinians can be killed is deluding themselves

As others have noted, if you’re not seeing this “pro-natalism” creepiness through the lens of the white nationalist Fourteen Words, you’re missing the point.

Larry David writing a NYT guest essay as a man having dinner with Hitler, just to roast Bill Maher as a smug, self-important clown, is the stuff of comedy legend. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

I’m sorry, but this woman is absolutely poisonous and cruel and I cannot *stand* her or her attacks on trans people. You should feel about her IP like you do about Tesla. This is appalling.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified. But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*. They love it.

there is no world in which the answer to the democratic party’s problems is gavin newsom

Every person with a spectrum disorder has a more valuable life than RFK Jr, and every trans/nb person has a more valuable life than JK Rowling. You are a human with dignity and they are sunken demons

If law professors are unwilling to stand up for the rule of law and the most basic principles at the core of our constitutional order as sacrosanct, there is no point in teaching constitutionalism in law schools at all.

As appointed appellate counsel in California in the 1990s, multiple clients convicted of otherwise relatively minor crimes received much more severe punishment b/c of "gang enhancements." No coincidence I never saw such an enhancement applied to a yt client, not even the ones with swastika tattoos.

Matty boy caught red handed doing sock puppet shit lol. He is literally too rich to do this shit, why is he doing this and not just paying someone lol

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.
