Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

TIL that the guy whose labeller half this site is using to tell them who to block for being a nazi or RW operative is in fact literally a fraud

happy Father’s Day to Otis Velona, Captain of the Knights of Alexandria

The president announces a federal law enforcement assault on the several population centers of America to achieve an expressly partisan political end.

Is chatgpt making you stupid or do stupid people use chatgpt

I still only have two relics because I cannot bring myself to roulette farm lol

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

i've had success getting boomer conservatives on my side by talking about how fucked up it was of ICE to raid a restaurant and deport employees who were just doing their regular jobs and ended up forcing the business to shut down for the weekend

Oh lol so he's definitely gonna win huh?

"Harris is a warmonger!" "Harris will start World War Three!"

Almost hit da pen but realized I needed to do laundry & take my medicine so I did that first before I banished myself to the shadow realm please clap

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

“against President Trump’s policies” feels like a lazy description of nationwide protests against his authoritarian pretensions.

his name is keeper of the lake look him up on your school computer

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

One of my many fears is that the next Democratic president will spend too much time talking about "the importance of not dwelling on the past" instead of prosecuting every single one of the people responsible for this nightmare.

it’s crazy how life for everyone has just gotten noticably worse immediately as trump became president again

Having a night where I rolled a joint w/ some wax to seal it and now there's a burrito at my house that I don't remember ordering

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

DAY THREE OF CALLING SABRINA CARPENTER A STUPID SLUT BUT FEMINISTLY

Look, it’s simply an incredible string of coincidences that so many Republican officials turn out to be pedophiles.
