Twitter. Cooks. Your. Brain. Get. Off. It

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

The left, the ones who paid electoral politics any mind at all, thought this was silly and offered the 21st century equivalent of William Seward.

The center thought this was silly and offered the 21st century equivalent of Salmon Chase.

Which kind of made my point imo.

Miami Beach as Cuban Kalinningrad would be so fucking funny, dude.

These investigations are lengthy and thorough and result in a written report that will go to the commanding general. It's definitely not done yet and I wouldn't expect the Marine Corps to say anything about it until it's done. 11th Marines is not having a good time right now.

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

Anybody trying to deride or divide the overwhelmingly large cross-sectional movement to restore democracy should be viewed with suspicion

It ain't perfect, but there is simply no alternative that can mobilize millions and provide a venue to hear the Mayor of Chicago call for a general strike

again, a large chunk of the rampaging forces that won the Civil War were “Midwestern liberals who were fucking *pissed* someone wanted to take their Mississippi River, and if they had to whoop ass in Charleston to make the point, they would.” It’s cool shit, easy to brag about.

I have many words for this. None postable.

if someone spits in the king's eye and you do not applaud you deserve to be a serf.

There is no possible independent principle or criterion that can coherently explain these choices. Instead, the actual principle they're using is "How are other people reacting to it, especially right-wingers on social media?" It's news if the internet treats it like news, and isn't if it doesn't.

The same forces that made America into this are at work in every democracy. Even here in Australia, I can see the first weeds sprouting, which in time, may choke up the whole garden. Regulating social media to align it with democracy and the public good is essential for the survival of our project

it really is insane how much they hate hispanics. just pure gutter racism against their most important coalitional allies motivating their every action

after a lot of chewing i was convinced that this was also why Charlie Kirk's shooting shocked them.

a normal person did it. and charlie kirk wasn't someone they considered a normal target, even though he was extremely influential and important to them

germany entered this war, etc

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the frogs
They are leading forth the unicorns & funny cats & dogs
They are coming from the rivers, from the ponds & from the bogs
Their truth is marching on
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Their truth is marching on

We deserve international sanctions

Chat, is that good?

One thing I'm not sure Democratic Party leadership is read for is that we *genuinely* have normie radicalization this time around in a way that just wasn't there in 2021.

The single most important thing that Henry David Thoreau ever wrote.

Took a brief trip to truth social to see the Trump shitbomber post and got an ad for Ben Carson curing memory loss by drinking blue Gatorade out of a fancy cup

oh he's absolutely going to make Moulton's transphobia a thing (I'd rather he retire and endorse Ayanna Pressley but)

1) Luca Maxim-style videos
2) more conventional hype edits
3) actively encourage food trucks and other businesses to set up stalls
4) no reason to start these things before 2pm
5) event organizers should promote w/ funny signs they had to have kids/grandkids explain to them

One cool thing about the No Kings branding is that it's negatively polarizing Trump and his supporters into just saying out loud that they want him to be king

Schools buses are the one place BEBs make sense and it has mostly to do with their low equipment utilization

The bisexual and Ukrainian flags at No Kings.

I support NATO expansion for Ukraine and Bisexuals.

Welcome back 1789

Democracy in action, Illinois.

Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

so when It Happens, whatever It might be, people know to get out there and the right knows what might stand in their way

Today was a show of force and solidarity and the best way to back it up is to do it again. and again. and again.

a woman asked me today what the frog costumes are about, and i told her, it was to generate images like this
