HOLY HELL; 🔥
JB #Pritzker just went nuclear on #Trump:

“Donald Trump & his bootlickers have torn down the Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. And Donald Trump and his cronies can f*** all the way off.”

John Smoltz sounds nervous tonight because he knows after Scherzer is done he’s going to be sacrificed to the Bunt God and Scherzer is going to take his place in the booth. The writ was signed with blood and smoke. The wicker pyre awaits. The color man will be born again.

Perfect comparison

Republicans are lazy.

They gerrymander their way into power and never lift a finger again. Do you think they have ever put a petition together and worked hard enough to get something on the ballot and then knocked doors to get voters out so it will pass?

No. They are lazy freeloading sloths.

But wait, I AM bigger than Jesus! 😂

Have fun and stay clear of the needle…

It's truly amazing how completely and totally feckless Democratic leadership is at a time when the GOP is malicious, incompetent and incredibly dangerous.

There is a moment here that needs meeting and no one in Dem leadership who seems to have any interest in even trying to meet it.

The “thin blue line” refers to the blue sharpie cops carry around to write left wing slogans on shell casings found near mass shootings.

HE DOESNT WANT COMMON GROUND

HE DOESNT WANT TO WORK WITH YOU

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THIS?!?!

ITS BEEN MONTHS OF AUTHORITARIANISM AND YOU WANT COMMON GROUND?!?

STEP ASIDE AND LET PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND WHATS HAPPENING LEAD THE FIGHT BACK

Nats. Always Nats.

Twitter is a Nazi site. Get the hell off of it right now. Today, Twitter’s “A.i.” text generator “Grok” went full Nazi with a slew of inexcusable, reprehensible antisemitic posts. I’m not going to quote them here. But y…

We're extremely aware of the limits and benefits of this platform. It's likely fewer people (we'll never know since Elon took the place private), but it's most certainly actual people. And the people here are academics, artists, people of real intellectual influence. It's a good place to be.

Tucker Carlson and those of his ilk are against war with Iran because they're aligned with the Putinist / Alexander Dugin ideology that wants to create ethno/religious states that dominate their spheres of influence.

That's it. And it would help if this kind of obvious context was made available.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

They fucking threw your colleague to the ground and cuffed him. Step aside. You’ve shown yourself completely unwilling and unable to meet the moment. You are an abject fucking failure and you and the rest of your capitulating crew need to make room for people willing to do something.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Every crime imaginable—now easier with crypto. From human trafficking to financing weapons, the digital currency dilemma deepens.

I have continued questions about the cognitive abilities of anyone who is fixated on the health of a man who will never be president again, rather than the one who is currently ripping this country apart at the seams and using the Constitution as his adult diaper.

Similar story to how I got ADHD dx. I was filling out a screening for my other kid and I was like, “But I do all those things.”

Anyway, GenX, a lot of us are getting dx because we’re getting care for our kids. Don’t be afraid. It’s actually really helpful.

THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NUCLEAR CODES AND TALKS TO HEADS OF STATE CONSTANTLY, CAN'T FLY AROUND ON A JET GIVEN TO HIM BY THE MOST CORRUPT OIL WIERDOS ON EARTH

THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

fuck it, let's do it all at once, constitutional crisis, secession, schism, international trade collapse

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.

By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.

Today, in 2025, that number is *7*

And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

It's pretty wild, when you think about it, that the political press spent four years saying "Biden's real test: will Americans approve of his economy?" and then Trump's been president for three months and he's brutally murdering the economy and the political press is just not that focused on it

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

It’s very simple IMHO. Chuck looks at Republicans and sees his Senate work buddies. Bill looks at them and sees people who pretended to be his friends and lied to his fucking face about supporting every principle he holds sacred for years. This is because Bill is smarter and has self respect.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Add this to the already ample evidence that the current leadership is not even remotely ready for this moment. Burn it down. So much for me being an “institutional democrat”.
