i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

My god

one way to make sense of the position of the republicans on the supreme court is that they do not believe there is such a thing as a legitimate objection to the actions of a republican president, no matter how deranged, depraved, or anti-constitutional www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

The Republican Party has found its roots: throwing people off their health care and bombing the Middle East.

I don’t care if it’s corporate marketing, I like that the cunty murderbot said trans fucking rights

I know many political figures misread pop culture, but I think the puppets should have given away that "Team America: World Police" was a satirical movie.

having a normal one

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength" - 1984

Lavos, the alien monster intent on destroying all life, has emerged from beneath the planet's surface to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. "Cuomo has the experience and character necessary to lead," said Lavos, while fire rained from the sky

MAGA talking heads are all over broadcast media this morning with their basic "War is Peace" message.

A little on the nose, but ok

Also, surely this should be the core media narrative about this war - they’re not doing it for any reason they can articulate! There’s no intelligence supporting their claims, Trump himself seemed to think it was a bad idea a week ago, but no one’s in charge and Trump is an easily-pressured fool

I can’t stop thinking about the voter I talked to today who said they make over a million and so don’t want Mamdani to raise their taxes. “I have 3 kids, a million a year isn’t that much in NYC!” I looked it up and if you make a million a year in NYC you are in fact part of the 1%.

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

War is peace…

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Congress did not authorize this war.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure" It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

This looks and sounds like a very frightened man.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law. Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

And millions of people accept this as normal and not a sign of a significantly disordered personality.

One of the funnier running subplots of the Trump era is that he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize, and it really eats at him.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

ICE spokesman is trying to say these people in the video below are not ICE. Well then: who are they?

i maintain that all of this can be traced back to the explosion of AAA budgets. higher fidelity means games become more expensive which means they must be designed to appeal to the largest possible audience. i think playtesting can be a good thing but not when it's used to file off every edge.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

If I had my own television show, I wouldn’t invite on literal zombies for an interview. But I’m no producer, what do I know?

y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

“Whatever he does I’ll be supportive of” kinda gets straight to the heart of the problem

Another clip of terrible person Tucker Carlson doing what every single journalist interviewing powerful evangelicals like Ted Cruz—who insist on going along with whatever Israel does based on loose theology—should've been doing all along.

sure am glad we did a great job on Reconstruction

increasingly obvious that congressional dems have seized on the "distraction" thing because it provides them with an excuse for doing nothing about any concrete issue and instead complaining about some general principle that they think plays well in focus groups

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

their entire motivating force is hatred, and a desire to see the 'right' people suffer. you cannot reason with them, you cannot compromise with them, there is no 'center' where you can find common ground. they are, simply, evil, and must be treated as such.
