How fucking hard is it to say “Trump fires all but white men”

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

free hint to blue state govs: automatically offer jobs in your own state's security services to the various cops, prosecutors and armed forces members that trump is unfairly drumming out. you will need people with guns who hate trump for what is coming next, and... there they are

I talk a lot of shit about Democrats not stepping up, so I'd be a prick if I didn't recognize and appreciate Maine's Governor Mills making the second in command look like a sniveling jabroni today.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Yeah sorry targeting Russian Forces drone operators like this is fine and good. if you're using indirect fires or this don't make much difference except less collateral damage.

My ketamine experience was more “receive the wisdom of my ancestors” and not “let’s kill the poors.” I guess for Elon thats really more of a “yes, and.”

Traveling with a kid. Got one checked bag, two carry-ons, two personal items, a stroller, a pack’n’play, and a car seat. Wife (not ADHD) to me (very): Why do you keep counting up all of our bags?

Yes, they are, just like they love Enrique Tarrio and Tusitala Toese. Nothing a racist loves more than a member of the lower races telling him he’s right

I’m upping my assessment of tail risk even for affluent white dudes. We now live in the kind of country where I must say, in all seriousness: Watch what you say on social media. (Kash Patel is!)

Correct until the end of the last sentence. In any other right-wing country, he’d be second assistant to the junior deputy for panty-sniffing at the secret police. They have standards.

No shade to Mr. Brock, but a response longer than the original letter shows respect, whatever its words might say. Good rule of thumb is half the length, no more. And if you can pull it off in a couple of sentences—a la “some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters”—that’s a K.O.

Impossible to overstate how much I hate Kathy Hochul. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kash Patel, etc.—they’re all openly wearing the enemy jersey. Fair play. But Hochul—she’s taking up a spot on our team but somehow keeps passing the ball to them.

It’s hard to know where to draw the line, but I’m not sure I want to raise my kid in a country where it’s substantially more difficult to get childhood vaccines, or where a substantial fraction of people don’t get them because the official guidelines have changed

I truly envy the right this: There’s no such thing as “so far right you’re a little left.” Their far wing wants just what they want, only more of it, faster, nastier. You can coherently be a right-wing “moderate” & never punch right. These “far left” fuckers, in contrast, definitely need punching.
