Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

The idea that conservative ideology should be equally represented in everything is ironically a very liberal idea

If you think a retrograde bully and serial sex pest like Andrew Fuckup Cuomo is the best hope for the future of the Democratic Party, go ahead and load your pockets with stones and walk into the Hudson River.

NYC folks: It's supposed to be grotesquely hot on election day -- 100 degrees -- so try to vote early if possible. Check your early voting location, it might not be the same as on election day. And don't rank Cuomo, he's a monster fucking heel scumbag who doesn't give a single shit about NYC.

The funny thing about this apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s great that Trump removing regulations on asbestos can be explained both by his history as a cheapass real estate developer and as a Russian asset.

They should make a crying all day that doesn't give you a headache

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

“i asked chat gpt” “i asked grok” Jeeves would kill you where you stand

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

"It's a republic, not a democracy," say the conservatives as they get very excited for a big display of military force moving across the river into the capital.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

A new challenger has arrived

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

Whenever someone says they’re afraid of downtown in American cities, I’m always like, brother, that’s where the Fogos de Chão are.

"Tell me now, how was the world lost?" the full quote from the book 'They Thought They Were Free' read by @iwriteok.bsky.social in the linked episode of Behind the Bastards has been haunting me every day of this wretched year... (time: 52:11 - 58:00) youtu.be/CnBu3lgdh0I?...

Find your closest rally on Saturday and go. You can tell your kids where you were on the other side of this. Outnumber him everywhere. www.nokings.org#map

Yep that's all the interests

Quick follow-up, Mr. President, who is in the Epstein Files with you?

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

heartwarming video of man who just received cochlear implant hearing the video of the lady who fell and hurt herself stomping grapes on the news for the first time

What happened last night and today was manufactured propaganda by the Trump admin to justify using the military against Americans. Let us be clear: the military should never police civilians without a request from the state. So much for the so-called party of states’ rights and law and order.

Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind: ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump. Community members protested. ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas. ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water
