There is no version of what is happening now in Europe that makes America stronger, safer, more respected in the world. Trump is now and always been Russia First. His quislings like Hegseth and Rubio are traitors, and will be known in history that way.

You often hear people saying they miss the times when politics was boring and they didn't have to think about it, but then you hear about any system created during that period of boring politics and it's always stuff like fines for people on welfare who dream about having money

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

the zoot suit Samus meme is interesting because Tom & Jerry's Hep Kats (1943) is really the first "metroidvania." The early route into the girl's house is closed off, so Tom has to collect pieces of more powerful gear and then backtrack. I am making this post specifically to piss off 2-3 game devs.

A woman was forcibly removed from a town hall in Idaho after talking by three unidentified men dressed in black. The sheriff was there and told her to leave. And the emcee of the event called her “the little girl” as she was dragged out. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

Trump congratulated the CDU today, and talked as if CDU winning is a victory for Trump-aligned right. But Vance & Musk got involved during campaign against CDU! They championed the AfD, the far-right party that gets most of its votes from former CDU voters, & that CDU has ruled out allying with.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

It’s notable that Trump cabinet secretaries and agency heads, for the most part, are acting more interested in preserving their own prerogatives against Musk’s illegal intrusions than Republican members of Congress are.

here’s my take as a linguist specializing in interpreting indirect language use: nazi symbols and gestures are a declaration of intent to commit violence and can therefore reasonably be responded to with the actions appropriate to one’s bodily safety being threatened.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

Things can get complicated when you have to retroactively rewrite a storyline because of an unexpectedly popular character, like when Boba Fett “died” in the Sarlacc pit, or when we killed Hitler and collectively proclaimed “Never Again.”

I'm always so relieved when I come across Americans who were truly affected by watching a genocide for 15 months straight. I'm not sure what's wrong with those who weren't, but I know they're directly connected to the predicament this country finds itself in today. You can't localize lack of empathy

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
