I think the clearest thing you can say about Dan Bongino is that he makes Kash Patel look moderately well qualified.

Gonna need people to stop referring to the Eagles as "America's Team." We hate that. That's the Cowboys. You will notice how they are extremely shitty. The Eagles play for the Free City of Philadelphia. They are Philadelphia's Team. Show them some respect and get it right.

I would be difficult to overstate the degree of confusion, disagreement and uncertainty right now within the federal govt over whether or how to comply with DOGE on everything from the firing email to the demanded firings.

Dan Bongino sued the Daily Beast for $15 million for reporting the NRA fired him for being "unfit for his duties" and not only did he lose but he was found liable for the Beast legal fees and had to pay THEM $40,000

The theory that Fort Knox's gold is somehow "missing" is a longstanding obsession of the John Birch Society. The fact that Musk & Trump are blathering about it illustrates how the insane right has triumphed over the corporate right and taken over America.

so is Harper’s gonna write a letter saying people should be allowed to say the truth out loud without losing their job or being persecuted by the government? when are they all gonna sign that one

jesus christ

"we need to show everyone that THIS buster Brown is in BIG TROUBLE" *they put a pair of handcuffs around his beautiful delicate ankles* "oh NO they're all HORNY again!!"

yeah tbh if you've been looking for an opening this feels like a pretty optimal time to get your crime on federally speaking

absolutely dying at the report that when the Eagles were asked whether they’d accept an invite to the Trump White House to honor their Super Bowl victory, the answer was a "massive no.” death to fascism, go Birds 🦅

sorry but this is hilarious

Did your Rep or Senator get rocked at a townhall last week over Elon's DOGE crime spree? Check out epic townhall rockage list and if they're not on it drop us a line so we can add them. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/ye-ol...

Just a reminder that under the terms of the ceasefire deal between Israel, Lebanon, and Hezbollah, Israeli forces were required to withdraw from Lebanon by January 26. It's February 23. They're still there.

Lots of young people are going to be out of work this summer. Provide them with unrestricted funds to do useful things in their communities.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

Diaspora Jews: The dual loyalty trope is antisemitic. We're loyal to our countries, not Israel. The Jerusalem Post:

James Carville’s advice, as usual, is shit. Democrats, do you want every constituent to be absolutely furious with you and completely disillusioned? Then sure, sit back and wait for Trump to collapse I guess

Thinking about Black History Month and Trump's attacks on universities and any honest discussion of history, oppression, or anti-Blackness (and so much more). Relatedly, I'm also thinking about Avery Brooks in the DS9 episode Far Beyond the Stars.

I saw this on Reddit in a post about Jenny Slate having filed a complaint and it is worth the read. It's talking largely about the case between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Sometimes I wish cancel culture had been real. Just imagine how great it would be if some of these chuckleheads had lost all respect and ability to reach an audience the first time they started saying evil shit.

I don’t think people realize the psychological terror of seeing these constant Nazi salutes is inflicting on Jewish people specifically.

L + ratio + not endorsed by your bishop + no concubines

Hmmm it seems like the way easier thing to do here would have been for leftist organizers not to have to mobilize against a genocide- both for the election and also yanno so there wouldn’t have been a genocide

If any other national broadcasters are looking for debaters as to whether the US should illegally and violently annex Canada as their 51st state, I am happy to volunteer my time as the side who answers every rational, thoughtful question with "Why the actual fuck are we being balanced about this"

no more kings actually also includes no more billionaires fwiw

NO KINGS NO NAZIS gets you like 80% approval and does a solid 60% of what we want to do

I'm out of practice in teaching high school students. But this month, I had occasion to speak with two high school classes for Black history month. And all I'll say is that these young people deserve everything. They are curious, they want better than what they've been given, and they want to fight.

one thing that's worth pointing out about the current wave of constituent fury at Republican town halls: the reason you're primarily seeing those viral moments in ruby red districts is because every Republican whose district is even remotely competitive is actively hiding from their constituents

I, for one, am not reassured by the fact the German extreme right only got 20 percent. The acceptable number of German far-rightists is zero. The 1930s taught us that.

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “A program is not waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It is not fraud just because he doesn’t like it."

Yes! And keep calling these people Nazis. They've told us what they are again and again.

i sink my fangs into your neck. your vision fades… the world goes dark. you awaken, but changed somehow. you feel a dark hunger. hunger for attention. the need to post compels you to reach for your phone. within moments you’ve posted “i’m gay” 500 times.

cw: rape this is something that Jessica Jones does EXCEEDINGLY well that is not found in other media nearly enough Kilgrave genuinely doesn't think of himself as a rapist, doesn't even like hearing the word way too often sexual predators are portrayed as knowingly "evil" when the truth is scarier

Oh this! The Democrats embracing genocide and not fighting it took away so many of the people who usually help on policy stuff. Like people are all up in arms about who everyone voted for but what really hurt them is the lack of organizers

I can't wait for this to be the reason i get banned on twitter

dunno why we are debating elon musk's intelligence when we all fucking saw him play elden ring with two shields and flasks removed from quick pouch

perhaps the voters of Alaska would like to reconsider their decision and send someone who can do the job next time, like, oh, I dunno, Mary Peltola

We should have some kind of body of people we elect to control the government’s budget and write laws.
