A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

You know you’re in Bushwick late at night when there’s a polycule loudly making out on the subway next to two sleeping unhoused people.

The Tea Party and FedSoc threw it into the gutter, where it has now been picked up by the heirs of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Robert Gould Shaw.

Fucking wild to see the Department of Transportation tweeting like the cat shit guy. Honestly something that I can’t fathom.

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces.

It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

Genuinely I think the energy of the women’s march and the hatred many older feminist women feel for an administration run by rapists who repealed Roe has not gone away. Even if the media has stopped talking about it.

Semi related but I had to practice some small r republicanism and tell this woman she was missing the point

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

I think anyone who has actually seen a video of her talk thinks she’s got a shot at the presidency. If she were a white man she’d be at the forefront of every 2028 convo the way Pete was.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Massive Crowd in NYC, minimal NYPD presence

New York City says #NOKINGS #WEHAVEFRIENDSEVERYWHERE

No this is the correct take

Oh god you’re so right

I mean seriously, having strong opinions on Talia Jane one way or another probably means you're too terminally online so I hereby sentence myself to an afternoon of involuntary touch grass, effective immediately

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!

Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

I think the bleakest part of life in America since 2017 is that so many people (like you) have spoken so loudly about all the bad shit happening and were just dismissed.

It doesn’t though. Nobody cares. The media isn’t covering it and Trump has just taken the power over budgets and spending. Like the house is effectively disbanded and nobody in American media cares. The median voter certainly doesn’t.

Mike Johnson appears to be doing de facto dissolving of the House of Representatives as we know it - just so he could help keep the Epstein files in the dark.

Reed doesn’t believe in that sort of thing, but I think Demon Hunters is changing his mind

Nobody tell this person about Christian Holiday origins.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up.

Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other.

We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.

So @govpritzker.illinois.gov what the fuck

This is an insult to Redditors tbh

Top Army general using ChatGPT to make military decisions raising alarm A top Army official is using artificial intelligence to make crucial leadership decisions, raising questions of confidentiality and national security.

Uhhh @pwnallthethings.bsky.social @kevinrothrock.me this seems like completely insane behavior and maybe a massive security leak?

I was not a Zohran guy, I was fully Brad Lander in the primary. Since he won the nomination he’s completely won me over because I admire the aggressive messaging towards doing something big. I don’t think he’ll achieve half of what he promises. If he pulls off a third that would be great though!

I always give the $5 or whatever they ask for every few months. It’s so little just to support one of genuine achievements of the internet age that unequivocally benefits humanity.

Genuinely I think he could declare this and White Republican Fathers would be like “It’s an honor to have my daughter impregnated by Trump instead of *racial slur*”
