Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, β€œThey’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

This is my default response to the bot texting scams I receive.

I mean it seems like you’re now allowed to be a fascist is long as you stick to the β€œbeautiful efficacy of violence” and β€œexterminate sexual degenerates” and β€œbiological inferiority of the swarthy races” parts. But one notable fascist belief is still taboo. Except: they clearly believe that one too!

@aly.ruffruff.party if you’re going to quote post people but then disable replies and turn off the quote posting feature in advance, it means you’re a fucking coward.

Oh look! She quote posted me, but disabled responses and I can’t quote post her. Incredible levels of confidence in the argument she’s making. Clearly.

Peronism is a syncretic ideology and yeah, fascism had syncretic features but that kind of misses the underlying, inherently ultra-hierarchical/far right, motivations of fascism.

And he also clearly hates the conspiracy nonsense peddled by Dale. So refreshing!

Yes, Hank Hill is undoubtedly a Reagan/Bush guy but, as these new episodes highlight, he remains committed to decency and respect. I particularly like the scene where he and Peggy are buying Girl Scout cookies and, when informed about the name change, he says β€œyeah, that’s a good change.” Decency.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

Really loving these new King of the Hill episodes. I forgot how smart and endearing this show is.

Why is he acting like he just snorted a line the width of my forearm?

Did Trump share the uppers that he snorts with Cuomo or?

That’s a fair standard to apply. There’s not much excuse for it now that earbuds are ubiquitous.

Honestly! That and the need to incessantly stare at their idiot screens when out in nature. Like….just enjoy nature, embrace the feeling of occasional boredom, daydream a little, practice some mindfulness. Our society is addicted to easy dopamine.

It’s like the Nixon White House but at least they had the excuse that jarring yellow bullshit was in style in the early 70s.

A tweet from reporter @reenajade dated 7 August 2025 reading "INBOX: Sen. @JohnCornyn says the FBI has granted his request for federal authorities to assist Texas law enforcement in locating Texas House Democrats who fled the state over the Republican redistricting plan." Below it is a screenshot of a press release headlined: "FBI Grants Cornyn Request to Hold Fleeing Texas Legislators Accountable."

I'm old enough to remember when Sen. John Cornynβ€”a former state judgeβ€”used to extol the virtues of federalism. He doesn't care so much about it nowadays, it seems.

I take great joy in knowing he is the biggest sore winner in human history. Clearly he is incapable of happiness, just an endless landslide of grievance, insecurity, and misery. Truly love that he has been and always will be miserable.

it’s sorta funny how the people who for years used β€œwest wing brain” as an insult often have the most starry eyed naΓ―f views of politics possible

The Bear, like The Sopranos, is a comedy. Tragicomedy but comedy nonetheless.

I had to assemble a desk this afternoon and holy moly it was an arduous and I never want to do it again.

Okay so you’re not starring in a reboot of the iconic Canadian soap but instead of being about high schoolers it’s about politically engaged Toronto based gays?
