“Britney Spears’ ex-husband stormed the Capitol” sounds like a joke North Koreans would make about America instead of a verifiable fact

“Some folks need killing, It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!” the republicans are attempting to goad their followers to terrorism against their perceived enemies. This is what fascism looks like.

MAGA Gov Candidate’s Ugly, Hateful Rant: “Some Folks Need Killing!”newrepublic.com Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a long history of incendiary comments. But he may have topped himself this time.

Orange Man Bad explains far more than many comparative politics PhDs care to admit

"viewing Trump as something like a fascist leader foresaw the violence of January 6th as a live possibility, while its critics mocked the notion as mere hysteria. Whatever its shortcomings, “Trump as fascist” remains the best guide to what Trump will try to do next"

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

“democrats have to win every election forever” is not a sustainable solution and it is quite literally the one we are facing unless we break the power of this court

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

just finished gary wills’ “Bomb Power” and the chapters on the dubya administration are a good reminder of a) the horror show of those years and b) the remarkable fact that in an administration of degenerates, john yoo stands apart as the absolute worst

tweeted this four years ago and it pretty much sums up my feelings on this shit

My enlightened centrist sister is nodding along to everything Trump says entirely on vibes and mocking about Biden’s (admittedly) poor performance, ignoring my attempts to so his statements. Hate this shit do much

Everybody knows that Twitter is now a machine for turning MAGA weirdos into nazis, but seeing an account go from generic Fox News pro-Israel talking points to self-described “JQ red-pilled” “National Socialist” in seven months is still kind of a shock.

I keep seeing people today say "these labeler implosions just prove that Bluesky needs a T&S team". Folks: Bluesky has a T&S team. @aaron.bsky.team runs it. They've gotten incredibly fast at handling issues. I've seen sub-5-minute responses on some of my reports.

the new norm ain't the same as the old norm

On a funnier AIPAC-related note, just noticed they endorsed Menendez for this cycle lmao
