He literally four days ago signed a bill to fight Parkinson's because it's an issue his administration has been working on for awhile, might it be related to that, you weirdos? www.parkinson.org/blog/awarene...

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Just to be clear, this is Silicon Valley VC bro/Musk acolyte David Sacks coming down on the side of the Le Pen family, whose patriarch called Nazi gas chambers a "minor detail" of history and whose ex-wife alleged he nicknamed Hitler "Uncle Dolfie" while snarling "The Jews are invading France."

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

The election results from England and France are giving me such hope. We can do this.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

11:44 pm: One neighbor is still setting off the fireworks that just go BOOM with no pretty colors. Another neighbor is trying to cover the sound by playing "My Humps."

Well done, UK. Thank you.

The best thing about British democracy is when the actual head of government has to stand in a leisure centre at 5 am beside a guy with a bin on his head to find out if he still has a job.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Biden had done more appearances since the debate than Trump? www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Well looky there, 9 Biden to 6 Trump. 5 of the 6 are (presumably friendly) interviews. Two whole days with nothing. And this is as of yesterday.

Tracking Biden and Trump on the Campaign Trailwww.nytimes.com President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump’s rematch is testing their ability to make the traditional appearances on the trail that voters have come to expect.

FRANCE UPDATE: The near-final list of candidates who are in the French runoffs is out. Two days ago, 311 districts were going to have 3-way or 4-way runoffs. Then, 200+ candidates dropped out to block far-right. So: There'll be "just" 91 such runoffs this coming Sunday.

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

Something most Americans would be shocked to learn is how responsive the federal administrative state is to complaints and inquiries. Agencies like the FCC, FTC, EPA, etc., want to get your tips and questions. And they follow up. That’s what SCOTUS wants to steal from you.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into our windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off US EPA, who then raided them in 2023. EPA sent me the report on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

They want your despair. Withhold it.

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.

Looking forward to spending my weekends fear-vomiting and phone banking.

I wasn't going to do much for the 4th this year, but now that it may be the last one, maybe I'll step things up.

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

you'll often see a cat's ear twitch for no reason. that's because a ghost is talking to them. ghosts talk to cats constantly. they never shut up. that's why cats are so tired all the time. some random dead Victorian dude won't stop telling them how much mutton costs in 1872.
