I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

Trump announced his first presidential campaign 10 years ago today. If we really want to prevent future Trumps from coming to power, we will need to address the root causes of his rise. https://youtu.be/zTQoc5Jrciw?si=YUwHCh8OvNAKdBhA

This is what the death of expertise looks like; the people in charge hear a number, run with it, interpret it wrong, and then issue orders demanding that no one correct them.

Dear RCMP, We have an illegal American felon in our country. Please arrest and jail. I want to thank you for your attention into this matter. 🇨🇦

I get upset when I hear the Civil Rights movement characterized as “nonviolent”. It was violent. People were injured. Killed. There was violence. It just wasn’t perpetrated by the resistors.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

NYT Editorial board effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo today in the most weaselly possible way. “Don’t rank Mamdani, and it will probably be either him or Cuomo, sooo…”

I am so proud of the US Army for not training soldiers to march uniformly in lockstep, and for having zero peacocking parade skills. Thank you for having different priorities.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

So based on numbers , the Taco parade wouldn't have filled a fifth of Michigan Stadium The Big House. The No Kings rallies would have filled over 98 Michigan Stadiums. To give some perspective.

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.
