Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP. "I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

Busta Rhymes we once again should have heeded your wisdom

rented a fancy new camera check it out

Friends I’m afraid this videogame about drug addicted catmen fighting in portals to hell so a British guy can become a giant dragon has stayed from the path of traditional heterosexual missionary style lovemaking

This is, I think, the single greatest problem with the media's coverage of the last nine years of US politics. Democrats are broadly assumed to be the adults in the room, and as a result, Democrats and Republicans are held to *wildly* different standards of behavior by the media.

just a reminder that alito predates all this maga shit he is on scotus because of george w bush, one of the worst people to have ever lived and i am sick about liberals and democrats making goo-goo eyes at bush

It’s beyond hilarious that one of Pope Francis’s last official acts was sending a trusted associate to scold JD Vance for his absolute inhumanity. That’s getting lost in the whole meeting and then dying part but let’s honor a true hater for his service.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

gonna just be the millionth person to say: we in the US should indeed be mad that our electoral choices have been narrowed down to "genocide abroad is fine" vs "don't settle for genocide abroad when we could also have internment camps here". but neither Palestinians nor their supporters put you here

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Really want everyone in a position of power and influence to internalize that these people are goons. Their work is illegal, they are implementing it haphazardly and they don’t have the state capacity to do fascism on their own. They are paper tigers. Just Say No.

I have to be honest. I think the people in power are so stupid, sheltered and insane that there's no real overriding goal or strategy to any of this.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

nightmare group chat

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/m...

black student enrollment at the university of virginia barely cracks 7 percent and that is too much for glenn youngkin and his toadies www.baconsrebellion.com/uva-board-di...

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

WinBlue says they can stop Trump. They just need 200,000 more dollars for an *ad blitz*. I’m gonna throw my phone across the room.

Weird Catholic convert: Google “ordo amoris” Normal Catholic: I better go get some more baked ziti from the big tray before they do the raffle

The thing about January 6th that still lingers with me is how quickly and viciously MAGA turned on the Capitol Police. Really hammered home how every alleged principle on the right -- in this case, deference to law enforcement -- will be quickly abandoned if it conflicts with Trump's interests.

Reminder that for the US welfare state, the point is not to relieve poverty but to best manage the specter of destitution as a means of disciplining the bottom rung of labor. Countless academics point out it's cheaper to simply house people but for the super rich, in the long run, it absolutely isnt

“Race is not a biological category that naturally produces health disparities because of genetic differences. Race is a political category that has staggering biological consequences because of the impact of social inequality on people’s health.” — Dorothy E. Roberts, Fatal Intervention (pp 11)

Pondering the grim orders that will spill his people’s blood upon the slopes of the mountain but will drive the hated orc from their gates

Democrats are worthless

Was this half-billion-year-old wrinkled sack with no anus, previously believed to be our earliest ancestor, actually a baby penis worm? defector.com/was-this-hal...

BREAKING: Superstar outfielder Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a 15-year, $765 million contract, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest deal in professional sports history.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

You used to call me on my self-own

This is what raw milk proponents look like to me

Just learned about this wild 19th century Wilhelm Trübner painting titled “Caesar at the Rubicon”
