Saying it again, but the US is no longer free society and hasn’t been since we chose to allow the felon to run for reelection. The courts will not save you. They are not designed for your protection, and they are increasingly rigged against justice. This is an authoritarian state. Get used to it.

the NYC mayoral election might be an opportunity to reset some terms. the Cuomo faction are not “liberals” but “centrists”. the Lander faction are “liberals” the Mamdani faction are “leftists” if you’re mad at centrists but complaining about liberals you are mostly pissing on the wrong people

"I am a proud Democrat who fights for people and thinks Republicans are bad and we should stand up to them": actually a very popular message, which should be a lesson both to the reactionary centrist crowd and to other leftists hoping for similar success

Conservatives have lost all rights to complain about AAVE forever since they all speak MAGA Vernacular English now.

All these people taking a victory lap saying Iran is no longer a nuclear threat are going to have a massive egg in their face

It taps into Americans‘ greatest fear: Being asked to give back to the country.

Do we even know the quantity of fissile material we just buried under rock and concrete in a country with a government being systematically annihilated by an air campaign? Likelihood of a terrorist group getting fissile material for a dirty bomb was nearly zero yesterday morning… Now? :\ jfc

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

So many of these people deserve jail time whenever this ends

So which one is our Beria? Vibes-wise, Miller, right? Allegedly

The central reason Trump is more successful than lib politicians in ~The West~ is that he just wants it more and there’s no technocratic fix to *vibes* Libs briefly flirted with this in the Dark Brandon / Brat Summer memes but we immediately abandoned both given enough evidence that it was bullshit

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

You cannot have fascism without militarism. It’s a violence cult, and that violence goes outward as well as inward. This is a regime that celebrates the violent domination of people of color and treats insurrectionists as martyrs. Of course it’s going to war.

Non-zero chance org. crime is scooping people up using the same tactics as Federal agents rn and no one will ever notice because the adults have completely left the room in America.

For the third time this century the government of the USA is about to get involved in a situation it has not taken the trouble properly to understand, which it thinks it thinks it can quickly resolve by using limited military force. To learn none of the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan is criminal.

Lmao we’re literally doing Gulf 3. Baffling stupidity.

🧵IR scholars, let's start a thread of what we know that's relevant for a US attack on Iran. Won't change any minds, but might help us teach this crisis and learn new angles. Please add (incl. your own work!), forgive/correct omissions. Nobody can cover everything and it's great to find new work. 1/?

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Really curious to see if Dems are finally realizing that the referees have been fired, their opponents are now wearing the referees’ uniforms, and that the game is going to end in them losing if they do anything other than walk off the field.

One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.

struggling bc the AI won't be horny for me

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

libs: burning a waymo plays into the hands of the right left: this lame boomer rally does nothing to disrupt the right right: that guy who wants to murder you is actually a lib

Harris at the wedding like:

A Democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/14/a...

This is the saddest, most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Trump has made the US look small.

“Go Birds, F Trump” chants at the #NoKings rally might be the most Philly thing ever!

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Being a historian doesn’t give me the mantle of authority to say definitively what’s happening here or how anyone should respond, but I feel qualified to say this: If you were writing an account of how the United States devolved into violence and fragmentation, all this would be chapter 1 or 2.

Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president. Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

The United States of America is no longer sliding towards authoritarianism, we’re in it. Reckoning with that reality and finding ways to move forward to a brighter, freer future is the only thing we can do now.

Underlying all this is a profound cultural rot where accountability and honor have died a total death, leaving a mass of utterly self-obsessed mediocre misanthropes with immense power and influence which they dedicate to broadly petty interpersonal catfights and public masturbation whenever possible
