I don't know how we're going to be able to share a country with the people who shackle Christian refugees in front of their children and send them to camps in a foreign jungle.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

“There’s no difference between the parties.” “Then you’ll protest Republicans just as much, right?” “Are you kidding? They might kill me!”

everyone right now

Treatler is a very good new novel epithet. Good to see that boys and girls in the slur-labs can still innovate when the occasion calls for it.

Every AI ad is just "you, the consumer, are a fucking moron. We know you can't find your ass with both hands and a fucking flashlight. Buy our product, swine."

I don't know any headline is bad enough to break the fever, but Elon Musk's Ketamine Dealer Is Gutting the Department of Education might do the trick

I have become a lot more small c conservative lately, which has had the effect of pushing my actual policy beliefs and political allegiances probably the furthest to the left they’ve ever been.

Yes, this is correct and it's been quite noticeable. There is at least one more: the tariff one that seems to be led by Trump himself, who has been noticeably absent from the activities by the others.

The only people with a coherent mental model of the Trump govt right now are a bunch of 22 year-old libs who are obsessed with natsec. Most of them are on here. You should listen to them

This is like watching an alien try to invent a stand-up set from first principles

There’s a media dynamic to this too I think. When Biden pushed limits the press coverage was often like “Preposterous! A dog can’t play basketball.” But with Trump we’re getting a lot of “Golden Retriever stuns onlookers with flawless dunk.”

Something I think about constantly is that someone who knew Nate Hochman told me he thought people were exaggerating how racist Trump people were until he met people who worked for the admin and realized they were actually more racist than anyone thought. Again: **Nate Hochman** thought this.
