Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

“What are you reading? You look upset”
“Oh uhh just, yknow, worried about democracy”

Scientists theorize a “wet McCartney”

It was on this day in 1943 that George Harrison was harvested, fully formed, from the sea (pictured here) and so we celebrate his “birthday”.

Just tell him he’s great, thank you

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that o...

Always relevant.

The science doesn’t seem so settled after all, and it’s important to understand what happened here. The approach of left-of-center Americans and our institutions — to assume that when a scientific organization releases a “policy statement” on a hot-button issue, that the policy statement must be accurate — is a deeply naïve understanding of science, human nature and politics, and how they intersect. At a time when more and more Americans are turning away from expert authority in favor of YouTube quacks and their ilk — and when our own government is pushing scientifically baseless policies on childhood vaccination and climate change — it’s vital that the organizations that represent mainstream science be open, honest and transparent about politically charged issues. If they aren’t, there’s simply no good reason to trust them.

This is anti-vaxx logic. It is not "naive" to accept the conclusions of experts in technical fields.

One time I posted about one of my kids and her gender journey one trans visibility day and this dude Singal posted some made up speculation about us that was completely wrong. Then he deleted it when people called him out, but he never apologized or anything. 🤮

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me— and I welcome their hatred.

Something I think about often is, if a Democrat said this today, it would've been a hot mic moment and they'd have to apologize and say it was out of context. FDR said it at Madison Square Garden, 3 days before a presidential election

Two things are true:

1. ICE cannot be reformed.
2. We don’t need armed ICE officers anyway.

So nuke the entire agency altogether.

If someone legitimately dangerous needs to be removed, that task can be delegated to another Fed agency or local cops.

love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables 🙃

Former ICE instructor will testify as whistleblower that agents taught to violate Fourth Amendment The instructor, who is an attorney, plans to tell a forum sponsored by Congressional Democrats that the procedures in entering homes are not taught appropriately.

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

hey did you know that twitter was never "the global town square?" it was never one of the biggest or coolest social media sites, it was just where journos and other wordcels and some celebs hung out so it became fodder for lazy news sites writing up stories based on some guy tweeting something

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Hey thank you!

I take my podcast recommendations EXTREMELY seriously because most podcasters should live in constant shame and derision but if you’re interested in Vonnegut these are really excellent discussions that are extremely fond of Vonnegut without ignoring his flaws podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

Heartily co-sign.

@michaelswaim.bsky.social and @alexschmidty.bsky.social are largely responsible for my Vonnegut obsession.

We make fun of elon but this is a clean win for him. Even after rebranding twitter as a goebbels computer with A.I. revenge porn journalists stayed on it frying their brains for retweets from jd vance and faulty sean spicer clones. Now they’re writing “Does AOC’s Brain Smell Different?”

This is correct doughnut behavior

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding
