there’s not another band that gives me more mixed thoughts than the band X

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

One way to manifest the right-wing fever dream that the country is overrun with undocumented immigrants is to de-document the people who have legal permission to be here.

The idea that some superstar celebrities understand the public needs a break from them once in a while is a totally foreign concept to him.

ever see a dude walking his dog and his pet duckling?

the funny thing about trump getting pete rose reinstated, speaking as a cincinnatian, is there is way more than a non-zero chance that they hung out together in the early 70s at larry flynt's hustler club

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

It's happening.

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

conclave coverage is not unlike covering jury deliberations

I know he’s not personally tipping these fighter jets into the ocean himself but there’s something so uniquely galoot-coded about this happening on Trump’s watch that makes you feel it just couldn’t happen under anybody else’s rule.

This point is incredibly important and can't be repeated enough; it was unions that made manufacturing jobs good jobs, not the factories.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

this thread on things people learned surprisingly late to the game is one of the best I've seen in forever on reddit. Funny, sad, insightful and occasionally dumb -- it's all there www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

seems like the administration is objectively pro plane crash www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

this guy isn’t really qualified for ANY job

that's as close as it gets to a core purpose. the point is to destroy a system that followers believe they can't win at. if you're ignorant, tear down knowledge instead of learning. if you're not funny, make cruelty the punchline. if women don't like you, make them dependent until they have to etc.

just now noticing that it's a '100% tariff on all movies produced in *Foreign Lands*', which somehow makes it even dumber

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

always innovating in the making things worse sector

One specific reason this is illegal is that, after the 2013 "IRS targeting scandal," Rs led the bipartisan push to pass a bill that clarified why political targeting was illegal.

god, this is grim

must be speaking from personal experience

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

The worst people in America are really having a moment, aren’t they?

increasingly apparent DOGE goal was never to cut costs but to scoop up sensitive govt data for nefarious purposes

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

if the courts don’t let them do it some people are just going to do it themselves

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to much/all of this any time they wanted. They are enabling authoritarian government.

It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

one of my low-key biggest fears has been winning a cruise, this gives me all the reason I need to never go!

Content aside, just the aesthetics, the sound, the tone, the lighting . . . is dark. Not the vibe of a cabinet or government looking to foster a flourishing country set on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.
