is the “masculinity crisis” currently going around not just a more paranoid patriarchy

The evil empire strikes again, smh

They literally did the Onion article. Agents posted up outside her hospital room.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

Suburban Chicago landlord gets 53 years in prison in hate-crime killing of 6-year-old #Palestinian American boy. chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2025/0...

Notice how this works. A year ago, the subhead here would have said “which is expressly forbidden by the constitution.” But Trump floats a crazy assertion and then WaPo retreats to saying “which most legal scholars say..” Stop he said/she saiding truth. It is expressly forbidden. Period.

this is the gift that never stops giving

Gotta hit John Fetterman with a “damn that’s crazy” and move on with my life. Sorry you’re in metaphorical hell before you get to go to literal hell or whatever

So, again I'll ask: what did Mike Waltz say "no" to that got him kicked out?

Good post by Dave that, again, boils down the question of "why are multibillion tech companies not doing more or better research to figure out what would-be users actually want?"

This is impoundment, it is illegal, and that should be in the headline www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

“The AfD represents an ethnic concept that discriminates against entire population groups and treats citizens with a history of migration as second-class Germans…Their ethnic attitude is reflected in racist statements, especially against immigrants and Muslims," ~ Interior Minister Nancy Faeser

Honestly this is just incredible content.

No such thing as low-key fascism.

“The fact that Dems & my colleague even feel the need to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport US citizens is batshit crazy. This should not even be a discussion. US CITIZENS CANNOT BE DEPORTED BY ICE.”—Ted Lieu

the only regret with transitioning i have is that i didn’t act on it sooner even though it’s what i wanted. in the last decade we finally got a point where it was socially acceptable for people to transition younger, and they’re trying to take that away and it breaks my heart

Just incredible

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

there is a decent chance i never spend a single dime at target again in my life www.startribune.com/target-gave-...

Literal fascism - playing this for crowds to cheer

Great one.

What if you were to just take all of these cars that people were driving and tie them together in some way? And put them on tracks so there was less chance of a crash?

Part of the fascists power is their understanding that most of democracies underpinning features are social constructions, and if they do not agree to them, they can walk right through them up to an including the constitution and the agreements that underpin all of democracies functions.

TRANSLATION: Truckers are going to lose their jobs en masse when the Trump tariffs tank imports, so it's important to pre-distract them with racism.

Lolololol

Dear god let this man cook.

See this?

Or, hear me out, the bill is an unconstitutional censorial mess that Trump himself has promised to abuse to take down content he doesn't like. Multiple experts offered to help you fix the bill and you ignored them all. This makes you a part of the problem.

80 years since something good happened in Italy

Chat. Is it normal to invoke terms like "insurrection" regarding your political enemies in Executive Orders?

Now we know what pro bono work those law firms who bent the knee will do: Defending abusive cops
