Bring me your rich, your predatory assholes, yearning to have free slave labor.

video game execs are the type of fuckup who not only believe 9 women can make a baby in 1 month they will cost cut so there's only 4 women then fire them after 3 weeks.

*Chef’s kiss* 10/10 no notes.

“Never again” demands action — Ukraine is fighting for all of us, writes Odesa Association of Jews Chairman Roman Shvartsman in his op-ed.

Whoever described generative AI as the aesthetic of fascism made a sharp point.

In an animal kingdom where caterpillars turn into butterflies, clownfish can change their sex, and platypuses simply exist, the only reason to think transgender people aren’t possible is your transphobia.

This to me is one of the central stories about current US politics. The tech barons who decisively threw their support behind Trump wanted commercial benefits, of course; but even more, they wanted to discipline their own employees. That’s the real content of all the anti-DEI stuff.

I hope this is the race, and I hope we win. The alternative is that there is no hardship white conservatives will not endure in order to see women & children owned as property by white men, and all the many targets of their bigotry murdered by the millions, and that they'll keep voting regardless.

I've never cackled so loudly

complaining about "the far left" is such loser energy. oh no, not the people who want everyone to have human rights!!!!

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

The fact that I and the rest of the MSNBC libs were right about everything would be a lot more satisfying if being right didn’t mean a fascist coup that sells our FP apparatus out to Putin.

Republicans don’t give a shit about deficits. It’s a cudgel they use when Democrats are in power. That’s it. Period. These “principles,” including small government, liberty, social conservatism, they’re all cudgels. The quicker people understand that the better.

I've been assured by Democrats for years that everyone should want a "strong" Republican Party.

all the russiagate stuff was true

I don't always agree with Bill Burr, but when I do... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/t...

Every single time

Fight like hell. Don't back down. They're scared little entitled boys.

Zip tying a woman’s hands and forcefully ejecting her from a town hall is about as unamerican as it gets.

your regular reminder that basically all of the most unhinged maddow-brained Russiagate stuff was 100% true and Trump just successfully covered it up by obstructing justice, firing prosecutors, and then pardoned his co-conspirators.

Oh that's going to break something REALLY important REALLY soon

It’s a good reason to arrest Elon Musk.

Please don't email [email protected] with random photos of your meals or cats or the top 5 things you wish you accomplished today or the Constitution of the United States or the Bill of Rights. Edolf says it's for serious things only.

From food safety to air travel to environmental protections, Trump and Musk have gone on a firing spree at agencies that protect nearly every facet of American life. This has nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with lining their own pockets at our expense.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

we’re all clear he’s planning to steal the gold right

I hope that all those who dismissed Russian interference in Brexit and Trump 9 years ago are finally realising that it wasn’t a hoax, it wasn’t exaggerated, and for all their doubts then are doing their best to make up for it now by supporting Ukraine

Sign of the day…

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

THERE IS NO AMERICAN CONSTITUENCY FOR AN ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA. Even the GOP hates it. It’s just that Russia, for reasons we STILL do not know, owns Trump.

I've received word that the Walt Disney Company has not made DCPs of any of its Ernest movies, and thus they cannot be screened legally at repertory cinemas. This is why film history cannot be entrusted to corporations. (We wanted to play Ernest Goes to Jail)

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

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

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself
