Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

Huh what nation in Lincoln’s time had 11 states

He wasn’t funny to begin with.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

just wanna point out that the "bathhouse john" guy in the center bottom right is a real guy and i am in fact related to him

wait. wait.

I’ve learnt not to dislike Iowa State, but no.

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

I lived in the Lawrence Arms the same time the band did.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen multiple times

The Replacements
Bob Mould

Sonic Youth
U2

"fake news" and "Lügenpresse" were less about spreading novel lies and more about maintaining epistemological discipline in the face of countervailing evidence

When I was at NC state, I had lunch with a visiting scholar from Sweden who was visiting US universities for the first time. He described his experience as touring “hedge funds with football teams.”

Maybe quick ask your history department how capitulation to tyrants works out.

The more that gerrymandering tries to squeeze more seats out a fixed pool of voters by lowering expected margins of victory, the more vulnerable it becomes to a wave in which the expectations are upset. There are self-interested reasons why many Republican incumbents haven't wanted to redistrict.

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

Rare example of a political cartoon where the good guy/chad is portrayed as a fat guy in a top hat and waistcoat holding a large bag with a dollar sign on it.

Has-been I Will Maiden, St. Louis 1896

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

This is how you do it

MST3K is one of the great artistic achievements of the twentieth century.

And of course episode 505 is its peak achievement.

It’s like the people behind the Fyre Festival decided to throw a little war

any system that showers hundreds of billions on this person for building zero sustainably profitable businesses is a bad system

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”

Continuing my obnoxious tradition of showing you where people are interred, here's where Marion reposes within the Chapel Hill Columbarium at Graceland Cemetery.

Walter Payton uses a paper transfer to ride public transit on the 1979 RTA commercial.
