“Why aren’t people protesting?” Bitch we showed up for three weeks at children’s hospital and they caved and kids are getting their gender affirming care now from *checks notes* protests

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I don't think any of us can judge the people who clap when the plane lands now.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

I think there is a very big problem we have to grapple with which is that the median voter is extraordinarily deluded about the working of the world to the point of complete mental incapacity.

While many of you are likely yelling "GO USA" or "GO CANADA!" I'm yelling "GO literally any elected member of congress and the rule of law, please, anyone or a single check or a solitary balance or—

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

if anyone could do anything about any of this that’d be so appreciated

He's gonna fuck up every single independent creator who depends on the mail for their business. Call your reps and tell them you didn't vote for Trump to destroy your business. reps.fyi

How much dumber can shit get, like in general. Like it’s already past what I expected really

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

It does seem pretty weird that the Trump administration wanted the Ukraine President to sign that thing about giving the United States its mineral rights and then when he wouldn’t do it Trump was immediately like ok fuck Ukriane. Kinda seems like that should be a scandal or something

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

Terry Pratchett had this one nailed in Feet of Clay we don’t do kings here

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

[RFK Jr, brainstorming more dumb fuckin ideas] Ok how about this: gluten free handguns

For all the marketplace of ideas debate bullshit, when they actually have to explain why what they’re doing isn’t illegal or immoral they really seem to have a hard time!

I loooooove this website baby

but what’s the second rule of goat club?

Suspect the place we really went off the rails as a country was 1864 when we didn't bar from government every single member of the Confederate government and army without exception, seize 100% of Confederate property to give to formerly enslaved people, and muster a Black-led army to defend it all.

So…a residential school

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

My boyfriend said we can’t hang out this weekend bc he doesn’t exist

It's shocking how proud people are to proclaim their cowardice right now. "We have no leverage what can we do?!" "We want to keep our press credentials or it will just be 'his' people in there!" "The center is holding, relax!" "We at the 'serious' news orgs feel no need to rock the boat."

If you are pissed about this but weren’t pissed about them cutting off medical care to trans children you are on step two of the “first they came for” poem

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

for the third straight day, the White House Correspondents' Association did not stick up for one of its members

Anyway here's how it played in the press last time anything went this far, just for reference

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

This is the survival plan.

ok! www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
