Steve King was stripped of his committee appointments for being outed as a Nazi only six years ago

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

Labeling a nonviolent protest against authoritarianism as ‘anti-American’ is the kind of rhetoric used to silence dissent, not defend democracy.

Tweet from Bryce Greene reads: “Knew the economy was bad and fake but this is really just insane.” Below is a tweet from spike with the headline: “Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says.”

Healthcare was the other bright factor but now the GOP has destroyed it.

Yeah after a particularly hilly run they may be a bit loose but if your ear things are the right size you should be good.

Yes, I've never had a problem with them falling out if that's what you're worried about

yeee, love em

Where is *this* world

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

this is absolutely my favorite protest innovation of 2025

"my opponents are violent antifa extremist terrorists"

"your opponents are dressed as giant inflatable frogs"

solid fuck you to the pepe crowd too

Mike Johnson might not have time for governance, but he’s always got a moment for music criticism.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

Absolutely @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

NGL not a fan of GenAI, and this is not a defence of it, but this is basically what GenAI does.

At least its organic mailing it the fuck in.

Screenshot of a tweet from Spencer Hakimian (@SpencerHakimian) reporting that the Senate rejected a measure to stop Trump from unilaterally striking Venezuelan boats, with a vote of 48–51. The tweet adds that Fetterman voted no, and Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voted yes. The attached photo shows senators on the Senate floor during the roll call vote, with a caption bar reading: ‘Motion to Discharge S.J. Res. 83…’

Congress continues to fail to check Trump’s authoritarian power.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

screenshot from tumblr. username @matthewsiji.com says "It's 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousness of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4" username crazy-pages reblogs with the added note: "I can't decide if it's better if they're not really uploaded into the cloud, they just all tricked themselves into thinking a GPT model trained on their brain is them, so she's playing with their fake echoes in a macabre imitation of the immortality they deluded themselves into believing they had. Or if they're real and she's just about to torment them forever"

hmm this Art. it speaks to me

Definitely

Sickening

Screenshot of a tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X featuring a clip of Donald Trump speaking. The tweet quotes Trump saying: ‘I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. You don’t even have stores anymore. They don’t even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows.’ The image below shows Trump seated at a table with a microphone and water cup, speaking during a meeting.

The lies are becoming pure fantasy lately. Time for the 25th amendment.

This is terrible

Just caught this now

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Excited for the free speech crowd to get outraged about this.

Republicans have postponed the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a second day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Oh, that’s a good one.

My favorite part of this set by far has been the endless supply of schadenfreude from just about everything associated with it.

Even if you're not a magic player I highly recommend watching Spice's videos.

I'm about to watch this, can't wait to see how it brings up class struggle in this one.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in
