What the fuuuuuuuuuck www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Please don't break your sobriety over this. Please don't harm yourself over this. We're all scared as fuck, but please, PLEASE don't undo all of your hard work. No matter what happens, you HAVE to protect yourself. You HAVE to hold on. Please hold on.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

200,000 people were dressed as empty aluminum benches.

This is America.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

The Recording Academy has added a “traditional country” category following Beyoncé’s historic “Cowboy Carter” win

Great timing, governor

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

yeah star wars is really coming out on the side of nonviolent resistance to fascism

The videos coming out of the Gestapo terror raid in Los Angeles today are absolutely horrifying and really should wake you up to the new reality of American fascism. It’s here it’s coming for us all and unless we fight for one another we will not survive.

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

This is not a denial

The argument that Musk might face *personal* liability for some of the shit he did in government should get renewed interest right about now.

we are apparently going to do this again and again and again www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018...

"hillary should just apologize for using a private email server"

one of the things that crippled George W Bush in his second term was the absolutely disastrous response to Katrina (“heckuva job, Brownie”) and the resulting impression that these were incompetent assholes Trump is loading himself up for a repeat and a lot of people will die as a result

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

Jesus, can’t they move on to a different example already? How about big screen TV’s - “You don’t need 85”, 55” is plenty.”

Move the World Cup, the Olympics, and every international meeting out of the U.S. It is not safe to come here until conditions change. That's not alarmist. That's the reality we are looking at. It's never been like this my whole, getting to be longish, life.

As two nuclear powers go to war, let’s all pray that the current leaders of America’s diplomatic and military machines aren’t distracted by a trans eighth grader winning a spot on the “wrong” basketball team or something else really important

lmfao - they're already doing eugenics

The U.S. economy shrank -0.3% in Q1 and tariffs didn’t even start until March. To every Trump fan who tells you they didn’t sign up for this, never forget…

Buckle up, buttercup…

the fact that i understand this sentence means that i think i need to like, go camping for a week

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.
