at this point I will back just about any movement that looks to have a real chance at unseating Trumpism, but if the establishment insists on shitting the bed so bad it leaves room for leftist ideas who am I to complain

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

lol ok let’s go motherfuckers

Dimes Square is now the property of the proletariat. We are taking America back.

Left's strong night, updated: —Mamdani finishes well ahead. —All 10 challenged NYC Progressive Caucus members win, or way up. Jumaane Williams, too. —Left may add councilors (AOC- or WFP-backed newcomers up) —WFP-endorsed candidates win primaries for Syracuse & Buffalo mayor.

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

wait holy shit he did it in the first round? hell yeah!

not the first person to make this observation but its incredible how drudge is the only news outlet in the country, including ostensibly liberal ones, that actually, for real, thinks trump is a bad president and wants him to fail

It’s less dramatic but my layman’s understanding is that this represents a much more serious fuckup than an experimental rocket blowing up

ftr the reason it’s important to keep hammering the blatantly, subversively illegal shit despite the complete failure of our so-called institutions to address it is that these fuckers need to be denied every single source of legitimacy it is possible to withhold from them

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

One of the SpaceX fan cams caught a crane collapse at Starbase in Texas. This kind of thing only happens from a completely unacceptable safety culture failure and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a death here

peak performance

if Cuomo loses today and goes ahead with a 3rd party run in the general "No means no" as the counter message is right there

There's no question laws mandating federal police display names and badge numbers would be a net good. Yes, we should abolish ICE, but in the meantime, it still matters a lot when people can name the cops who harm them. It may not be your demand to organize around, but it is certainly someone's.

just like when my 98-year-old great aunt very deliberately almost burned her house down by forgetting a frying pan on the stove

the neat thing about fucking around with that new Dune game in my down time is that the mechanic where you have to stay in the shade or die from overheating now translates directly into real life

They are literally doing the thing they have been supposedly terrified of for decades

finally settled on an effective lantern fly stomping technique of just waving my foot in their general direction five or six times in rapid succession, after which they’re too worn out to jump away from a real stomp

there is one single room on this jobsite with a little window AC that makes it habitable during break. this rules, but it does mean I am going to need a ceasefire before the end of the week to avoid losing my sanity

Ladies and gentlemen, the Democratic Party

I’m sorry, but the president declaring out of nowhere that a ceasefire was agreed upon to a baffled Israel and Iran who just sorta look at each other, shrug, and get back to it is the funniest thing that ever happened in a war.

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.”

it was nice of the Israelis to allow a senile old man to live out his make-a-wish peace prize fantasy for about an hour

86° at 9pm. I would like to register my displeasure with the proprietor.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

the entire series of complex historical events that lead to the discussion of geopolitical issues by a bunch of tradespeople over their lunch break at a random jobsite in Virginia on this date was a gigantic fucking mistake

I’ll forgive them not knowing about Hadrian, but Goldwater and Reagan being chopped liver is very funny

The Pentagon ordered a diversionary flight of B-2 bombers as misdirection, per NYT, because they were afraid Trump was giving the attack away to Iran via his social media posts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

Whatever happens tomorrow Zohran and crew have run one of the best campaigns I've seen. CLEAR MESSAGING of what he wants to do, pummeling Cuomo while keeping a smile, no scandals, the NY media can't find a single personal thing to play against him and THEY ARE PISSED, no infighting stories.

fuck a heat dome, that’s what I say. nobody invited you!!!

Extreme heat from climate change creates major health risks for people experiencing homelessness, a group already susceptible to health issues. Charlottesville needs a permanent shelter ASAP so that unhoused people can be safer year round.

they should make a way out other than through

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”
