congrats to all the liberals calling the attacks on trans people in the U.S. "tragic but inconsequential since there aren't all that many of them" for finally finding out what they'd have done in 1930s germany

it's always obvious who views politics as a game they're trying to win when they equate the people who are actively dismantling the welfare state with a chainsaw to the people who want everyone to have healthcare and food

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

When Republicans say "These tax cuts will pay for themselves" reporters should treat it the way they do "Trump won the 2020 election," as a proven lie that requires IMMEDIATE refutation in the reporter's voice, to make clear that they have repeated this assertion for decades and it never happens.

I think the fundamental problem with American politics is that the vast majority of household-name politicians are grotesque peices of shit who need to go the fuck away forever

He is so stunningly, uniquely terrible at posting that it immediately stands out even in an offline context like this. The absolute worst to ever do it. In a category by himself. Singularly anti-talented in a way we will talk about for decades if not centuries. The Wayne Gretzky of bad posting.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

where are all the newspaper columnists calling for the cops to violently crack down on CPAC like they do on college kids? go bust some heads and ruin some lives for these scumbags like you do for kids protesting the killing of innocents?

the hollywood standard for men going from like “modestly fit [well known actor in his late thirties]” to “a body fat percentage that puts you on the verge of death” is probably bad and underpins a lot of rw subcultures i think

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

it’s incomprehensible to me that you can see even a fraction of what republicans are doing or believe and think working with them is remotely a possibility. you need to crush them, like republicans are currently doing to everyone else

If america starts as a nation built on inequality & after centuries of civil rights movements & legal milestones being put in place to protect its more vulnerable communities, it goes back to doubling down on genocide, slave labor, & hierarchies within 300 years… maybe it’s inherent to the nation.

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.
