Bulk-printed "MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW" signs that don't say *who they are deporting* kinda gives the game away.

Apparently Mr. Hillbilly Travesty believes childless cat ladies are ruining the country. Childless cat ladies: seize the power you’ve been assigned and ruin it for him! The rest of us will be very grateful.

This guy makes Bill de Blasio look like a strategic genius

Mayor Eric Adams, asked by a reporter about the lack of air conditioning at migrant shelters during a heat wave, says, "Every day New Yorkers don't have air conditioners. We make do." He recommends paper fans and says his mom told him to put his head in the refrigerator. —Emma G. Fitzsimmons, NYT

Also, if trolls are trying to pit different marginalized groups against each other on this platform, let’s work together to root those fuckers out. I have to believe that at the end of the day we all chose to use this app because we want better for ourselves and each other.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

The reason that the language of domestic abuse and the language of authoritarianism looks the same is because it's just the same thing on a different scale.

Hey MSNBC, maybe if you don’t want people thinking about age, you could stop talking to the Cajun Cryptkeeper.

Hadn’t realized Vance was a Catholic convert. There really is no reliably worse type in US politics and its chattering classes than evangelical Protestants who convert for intellectual respectability and the smell of incense but who remain at bottom small-minded, mean, intensely individualist jerks.

Vance is, you guessed it, an adult Catholic convert

There is no VP pick on earth who could serve as a better motivation for Democrats to unite and to vote than J.D. Vance. He is Trump's Republican Party incarnate--hypocritical, dishonest, incapable of shame, composed of nothing but ambition, greed, and unearned grievance. (And I'm being nice.)

In light of Aileen Cannon’s corrupt ruling based on Clarence Thomas’s corrupt concurrence, here’s a great piece about why AOC’s decision to file articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito is the right move. Call your reps and tell them to support! www.salon.com/2024/07/12/a...

Why AOC is the best messenger on Thomas and Alito's corruptionwww.salon.com The corruption of Supreme Court justices is about more than greed. It "constitutes a clear danger to our democracy"

Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

The Republican line now is that the shooting was caused by Dems saying Trump is a threat to democracy, and they’re doing that because it’s a big and true thing they want Dems to stop saying.

Listening to Biden rattle off all the incidents of violence against political leaders in recent years sorta suggests that this actually *is* who we are.

Just going to continue to say it's impossible to take in the scale of bullshit in the world at this time. No one should try because it's simply not possible. Attention is a limited, non-renewable resource. I feel no guilt for focusing on a few things so that I can make a small impact on those.
