still endlessly funny that the "deep" and "intellectual" speculative fiction that kickstarted his whole cult of personality back in the day consists of extremely sauceless harry potter fanfic and a choose-your-own-adventure first contact story where the twist is that the wokes legalized rape

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

Using the military to prop up coal is a real petromasculinity two-fer.

honor killings occupy the rank below family annihilators and have been long suppressed in the us thanks to economic prosperity and the rule of law. it's critically important to these freaks that this technology be deployed to the most despicable culture warriors so they can get owned online.

Occupy Democrats post: "BREAKING: Kash Patel was just busted LYING TO CONGRESS in order to protect pedophiles! Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have successfully been able to view a slew of unredacted Epstein files, and they discovered that Trump’s disgraced and wildly incompetent FBI Director Kash Patel has been lying to Congess, under oath, in order to protect the other rich and powerful men who played major roles in the Epstein sex-trafficking ring. Thanks to pressure from Massie and Khanna, the DOJ reluctantly unredacted an FBI report naming Jewish billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret and notorious Epstein associate, as one of the co-conspirators in the sex-trafficking ring. “This is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBI’s own 2019 document listing Wexner as a coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasn’t unredacted until tonight,” said Khanna’s partner-in-justice, Rep. Thomas Massie, on Twitter on February 10th. The two spent two hours on February 9th examining unredacted Epstein files and were shocked at what they saw. “Most of the unredacted files were redacted—70 to 80 percent. Massie and I saw that there were six men who were co‑conspirators and were being protected. Those names need to be made public. " "There’s no excuse for releasing survivors’ names while protecting these six men. There are probably more. In just two hours, we saw that these six men were being protected.” Kash Patel’s FBI is actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of serial pedophiles and must be fired immediately — and held accountable for his own role in protecting pedophiles."

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

I’m seeing enough of this in my mentions today that I, a Black Jew, need to remind everyone that in the 1930s, European Jews were not considered white and that’s why the Nazis slaughtered them and part of why other countries including the United States refused refuge to many of them

this is gender--coal is a masc-coded energy source, conjuring images of burly, breadwinning miners--as well as race--coal is literally the blood and soil of magnificent specimens from antediluvian times

because to the extent that any instance of "maga art" is not just a vehicle for grift it exists primarily as an avenue of individual consumption/consumerism as performance of political loyalty

this is their absurd fantasy, their delusion, borne from their own mediocre homespun ineptitude

a sick and twisted fantasy in which America is a war zone without a weapon drawn or shot fired by the imagined enemy

Fascism cannot produce art that lives because living art relies on unqualified engagement with an other, a challenge to the self. Fascism can only ever conjure an ever more atrociously gilded mirror reflecting back faces that refuses even the reality of time.

Because the entire MAGA movement is comprised of 70 million people who spent all of grade school yelling gay slurs at anyone who took a pottery class or read a book recreationally?

why not simply ask grok who did it?

This is how it happens. History is far more pedestrian than our retrospective imagination and Hollywood dramatizations. There’s no black-and-white Schnindler’s List cinematography, or dramatic background music. Totalitarianism is very drab and mundane, and by the time it is consummated it’s too late

Every act of unprosecuted murder, of unlawful breaking into someone’s home, of gratuitous public humiliation (think of the elderly innocent Hmong gentleman dragged into the snow in underwear, slippers and a bathrobe), and open regime lying and encouragement of the above, pushes us into to the abyss

Totalitarianism doesn't go from 0-60 instantly; the inhibitions come down bit by bit with every regime encouragement of individual acts of brutality, with every sadist secret policeman getting away with just one more act of cruelty that's just a little more inhuman than the one that came before

The development of the Reich's concentration camp system was just as gradual, ad-hoc, fits-and-starts, ebbs-and-flows of a process as the permanent DHS camp system being developed now, including bureaucratic turf wars, different models for size, location, security level, goals for prisoners, etc.

Republicans just had a press conference showing photos of ICE arrests of "pedophiles, drug traffickers, murderers," and Democrats should do the same thing but with pictures of ICE agents who committed the same crimes.

I wish very much that the liberals and leftists on this website would give up their narcissism of small differences, it’s very annoying

Honor killing. Let’s call it what it is, MAGA does honor killings of women and children.

As we've said for years:

The border is not a wall—it’s a system of control.
It doesn’t protect people; it pits them against each other.
It doesn’t foster togetherness; it breeds resentment.
It doesn’t keep out predators; it gives them badges and guns.

Democrats should really ne making loud connections between "the Epstein class is in charge and covering up mass sex crimes" and "they are separating teen girls from their family to hold them alone" in the public eye

Would Bluesky enjoy this god awful clip of Kid Rock from SNL S26E16 that has been scrubbed from the internet?

Because I just found a host of VHS back ups and have that clip right here 😇

As far as I know I have the only YouTube upload - SNL scrubbed the clip long before YouTube

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

British Woman shot by dad in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump' Lucy Harrison, 23, was alone in a bedroom at her father's home in Texas when she was shot dead.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

"We're bringing back God" -- Donald J. Trump

"We're saving Christianity" -- Eric Trump

So Christianity. Very God

Irish man held in ICE detention says he fears for his life and asks Ireland for help Seamus Culleton describes conditions as ‘torture’ as he pleads with taoiseach to raise his case with Donald Trump

the greatest threat to white women and girls has always been familiar white men, in particular their fathers and boyfriends/(ex)husbands, and *not* strange men of color

deny every single person working for DHS the sacrament if they are Catholic and excommunicate Vance.

the reason his discovery institute gig is so delicious is that even by rightwing think tank standards thats scrapping the bottom of the wingnut welfare barrel, peddling the most baby-brained anti-intellectualism alongside the most stunted homeschooled weirdos
