if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

wow! would be nice if the democrats and chuck schumer had a chance at any point to vote against and stop the funding for this unconstitutional agenda

Every country should structure its legal and regulatory systems as a series of traps that guarantee someone like Elon Musk would end up in prison before he ever got rich

Los Angeles is why we need an Abundance movement. Nowhere on Earth does less with more than LA.

Our elite institutions spent decades selecting against anyone with integrity, opting instead for shameless pole-climbing where the prize was the adulation of other pole-climbers. Is it any wonder that universities, media outlets and government offices full of Tom Wombsgams's can't meet this moment?

Every single liberal who is solely blames the voters for Harris losing believes: 1) There are acceptable levels of genocide. 2) As long as they're ok everything is ok. 3) The Overton Window moving even slightly left is the worst possible outcome. Worse than Musk/Trump and fascism.

Silicon Valley guys casting government employees as lazy, parasitic, and malevolent seems like a giant case of projection imo

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

With the caveat that I also think Schumer sucks, the Democratic Party needs a new figurehead position called like "Opposition Tsar" or something. This person may or may not be an elected official, but we can't just thrust the highest ranking Democrat into that role and expect them to thrive.

millennials will be like i know a banger and it's the reading rainbow theme song. and they're right

DOGE trying to fire 200,000 employees for no reason: GOOD 👍 elon musks personal company being subject to markets and people choosing not to support him: BAD :(

Much like Chuck Schumer likes to think about politics via an imaginary Boomer couple that are somehow still 40 years old, I am conjuring a young, low-info White man in my head. His name is Chad. His Nissan Altima smells like cigarettes and the Check Engine light is on. He thinks he'll be in the UFC.

making america healthy again by eating burgers with french fries and a shake every day of my life

Did you know that there’s a foolproof way to make money gambling on boxing 🥊 matches?? 🤯 If you pay one of the boxers to lose the match but you win more betting on the match than you paid them, you are GUARANTEED to make money!! 🤑🤑🤑

The most politically conflicted I'll ever feel is if Trump pardons Edward Snowden. On one hand, a decade of exile in Russia has turned him into a Putin stooge at the very best. But on the other, every minute of the Trump presidency proves how right he was to warn us about NSA surveillance.

The reason I say that leftist groups are a major impediment to ending the housing crisis is that I have spoken to many members of Marxist/leftist/anti-capitalist orgs and they're personally 90% on board. But then, word comes from some official leftist group about a bill and they line up against it.

"With the big news exclusive that elections are cancelled indefinitely, Trump delivered a big smackdown to Democrats' chances of retaking the House in 2026. Will this hurt him with undecideds like last week's decision to shoot unarmed protestors? We're calling balls and strikes here on DC Insider!"

I have one pal who works pretty close with national Democratic figures and the other week, he told me that the thinking in the party is that it's good California and New York are losing people because they're sending Democratic voters to swing states. If this is true, we're irredeemably boned.

i love rapid unscheduled disassembly

The welfare state is a capitalist invention that was created to offset the inherent chaos brought on by (1) allowing private interests to control society's means of production, which required (2) the privatization of land/nature and (3) turning the working masses into commodities to be sold and

It's not often that you get as concise a portrait of total failure and malevolence as Chuck Schumer's been giving us over the past few days. He is the walking embodiment of the collaborationist catastrophe that is the current Democratic Party. www.discourseblog.com/p/fuck-schumer

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

Alternative rock could be run so much more efficiently. How necessary are a singer, guitar player, bass player and drummer. You could get rid of all of those positions and replace them with one guy who just shows up at the venue and hawks crypto

i’m losing my shit at this

“it’s one big club etc, etc”

It's great people are doing this. But my goodness, it's disgraceful they're having to turn up and protest to get the leader of the opposition in the Senate to *vote* in opposition to fascism. They have to do this to get try and get Schumer to press the right button twice.

"We must not take any action to influence the course of events now so that we can preserve a hypothetical ability to influence the course of events at some point in the future" is not bad politics because it is not politics at all.

love yourself enough not to take lectures on why “accelerationism” doesn’t work from people who believe appeasement does

Look it's bleak right now but if you need a good laugh, imagine how bad whatever the Democrats come up with is to try to turn things around will be when it's December and they're freaking out because their fund-raising cratered.

donald trump is a fascist who is going to take over our government and ruin the entire country forever and end democracy and not let us vote ever again which is why we have to give him everything he wants

When the President is a literal car salesman. #TeslaTakedown

Do you think they're going to start investing the Social Security trust in Tesla stock or come up with some way to force all of us to buy Tesla stock. I'm on the edge of my seat here.

just found the strangest pivot of all time

mommy coming on line to defend your multi billion dollar nazi company is crazy

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro posted this cringe video full of Gen Z speak. Voters don't need you to be their cool friend! They just want to know you're fighting for what they care about!

this website is amazing

it would be so sick if there was a political party for people younger than 55

not going to lie it’s pretty bleak that we’re having to explain to people who are supposedly democrats as to why ronald reagan was bad

How brain dead do you have to be to look at the last 30 years of politics in the US and elsewhere and conclude that what voters really want are politicians who at their core believe in nothing and consider everything - including you, personally - negotiable in the quest to win The Center.
