My dad's a vigilante now, he's bringing home these weird-ass friends like the guy who fires blanks at his TV when Kojak's on Or the guy who shows off his sub-machine gun to his sixteen year old daughter's friends whose sense of pride and hope is being in the police reserve This could be anywhere.

If this isn't propaganda, I don't know what the fuck is.

MAGA Instagram. No surprise to anyone, I'm sure.

...action that springs from absolute necessity, unclouded by the restraints of conscience... mercy... pity..

America's enemy is not my enemy.

I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy. shatterzone.substack.com/p/democratic...

Despite the narrative there’s no popular resistance to Trump, protests are erupting at Tesla dealerships, in public squares, and beyond. @alexwinter.com joins the show to talk about the Tesla Takedown and the movement to fight DOGE and save democracy. Listen: www.buzzsprout.com/2425400/epis...

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Democrats need power so we can pardon Mangione, and then once a month or so, we can all speculate about which CEO is next. It’ll be like waiting for Banksy’s next piece. Good, wholesome fun. And guess what, if every CEO magically turns into the Costco hotdog guy? Luigi retires. He gets to rest.

When I was just a little boy, Standin' to my daddy's knee, My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get ya and do what he done to me"

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

If Trump were left of center, I think you'd be amazed at how quickly his bullshit would be squashed.

What’s the loss of a few million lives when proving a point takes priority? I was once a child refugee, surviving on USAID rations—without them, my family would have perished. I will never understand the deep-seated cruelty some people carry in their hearts.
