Imagine 5 million people leaving their homes just to let you know that you’re a despicable asshole

Trump and Miller going more insane than usual means the protests are working. They thought the public would cower in fear of morons wearing camo in the middle of a city and instead they got flipped off and shown asses

One of my favorite pics from the No Kings rally I attended this weekend in Dallas. @darthbluesky.bsky.social

Stephen Miller looks like he sleeps inside the husk of a long-deceased birthday clown

So did the Red Sox consult with the Mavs on how to make the worst deal possible

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

This is ESPN's second "OMG you guys Aaron Judge homered off the Red Sox!!!!!" story in as many weekends. The Yankees lost both games in which Judge homered and went 1-5 combined over two series.

I’m bet other countries watched sad expressionless guys in tanks roll down an empty street and a sad old man half asleep while his wife ignored him and thought geez we should respect him more

Check out fucking Pravda over here

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Reminder that most "red" states have a sizable population who're gerrymandered out of power. Support those who resist!

i've seen bigger crowds for free samples at trader joe's

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Liberal stronghold, Waco, TX

They came out in Fort Worth Texas. Thousands turn out for the #NoKingsProtest . All is peaceful. There are people of all ages. Reporter Amelia Jones talked to a mother and her 14 year old who hope to make a difference. Police are not in the crowd.

Something I'm focusing on on is that no matter what, no matter how many tanks roll by, Trump's birthday party is going to be unsatisfying to him. He's going to end the night alone and pissed off eating a bag of Hershey's Kisses in front of the TV and pissed how the foil sticks to the Kisses.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

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!

The body language of a man about to say the dumbest shit you've ever heard.

Not sure this is an effective rejoinder to the charge, implied and explicit, of being a bitch

Kristi Noem Appears With Bandage Over Ear Struck By Words

A landlady of mine in Los Angeles was the woman who poked the Pillsbury doughboy in the stomach in the commercials.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

Another pro wrestler with better politics and a more clearly articulated moral stance than 99.9% of elected officials

Anyway, here's a 205 page PDF of pastors and other members of the Southern Baptist church who sexually abused people over the course of a couple of decades. Many of them were known to the church and moved around to other locations so they could victimize again sbcec.s3.amazonaws.com/FINAL+-+List...

a lot of the people who will chastise you for criticizing Dems instead of focusing on Trump are surprisingly willing to criticize protestors instead of focusing on Trump

Straight from a Chaplin film from 1918.

NGL, this might work on me.

This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously. Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun. LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

Great piece from @benfowlkes.bsky.social on the life of Jordan Breen: sports.yahoo.com/mma/article/...

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

Sort of like how Los Angeles was the only city to ever really pull off the Olympics, I feel like we’re uniquely suited as a city to host Siege Week. Keep sending troops! The place will still be ungovernable.

I'd *like* to be extremely concerned about the marines being deployed to an American city and the scientific committee that determines vaccine schedules being disbanded, but I'm gonna hold off until the Distraction Knowers give the okay

the "optics" discourse is dumb on its merits but also we're losing sight of the fact that the flag of Mexico is the best flag in the world it's got a gd eagle perched on a gd cactus eating a gd rattlesnake ain't no flag got any business going that hard and yet here we are we should all respect
