If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Look, I just want both teams to have fun, all right

I think the biggest indicator of the illiteracy that I’ve recently seen is people thinking The Fate of Ophelia by Taylor Swift is an accurate representation of her in Hamlet.

The image shows a social media exchange on X.com. @elonmusk (Elon Musk) posted 4 hours ago, criticizing Sky News for a "misleading headline" and a "false narrative," stating that Epstein tried to get him to visit his island but he refused, yet his name was mentioned before Prince Andrew, who did visit. The post includes a reply from @SkyNews (Sky News) from 1 day ago, stating "Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in latest Epstein files release" with a link. The Musk post has 14.9K comments, 23.8K retweets, 173K likes, and 15.8M impressions.

Wait. So he knew about the island and refused to go, but didn’t say anything to anyone about what he knew was going on there?

Republicans are gerrymandering states because they know their agenda is very unpopular heading into 2026.

It’s pretty simple—if Democrats expand their base, they will win.

"This isn't who we are," says nation whose history books are a bunch of redactions

"We fight to win. That means we lose, and lose, and lose, and lose until we're ready. All you know now is how much you hate. You bank that. You hide that. You keep it alive until you know what to do with it." - Luthen Rael

Fuck yes to this

A series of four images with black text on a white background, containing a long reflective passage about how authoritarianism and oppression gradually take hold unnoticed. First image: The text explains how small, seemingly inconsequential steps—each justified or regretted—prevent people from recognizing the larger process until it’s too late, comparing it to a farmer not noticing corn growing until it towers overhead.

Second image: A colleague explains how each act is only slightly worse than the last, leading people to wait for a shocking turning point that never comes. Fear, uncertainty, and the desire not to stand alone stop people from resisting. Outsiders seem content, and those who sense danger are dismissed as alarmists.

Third image: The text describes how, eventually, a small personal incident shatters self-deception, revealing that everything has changed—society, spirit, and morality. People accept things once unthinkable. Life feels normal on the surface, but principles have eroded. When realization comes, it’s too late—people are compromised by inaction.

Fourth image: The writer notes how friends drift away, meetings shrink, and isolation grows, weakening resistance further. The long-awaited great occasion for mass opposition never arrives. Instead, oppression progresses step by step, each act numbing people to the next. The example is given of Nazi Germany, where atrocities escalated gradually, making it harder to resist at each stage.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free"

I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

Dems need to get serious about DC statehood. For real. No more pussyfooting. With troops in the streets, the time is now.

New in PN: Dems need get serious about DC statehood. For real.

"Republicans act like DC residents need to earn their political rights, something they supposedly have not yet done. But consider this: If DC were populated by white Republicans, would it have statehood by now? We all know the answer."

Right now, it's comedians mocking Trump. How long before they move to target any depictions on TV of trans people, gay couples, and interracial couples? That's how this start. And once they ban depictions, it's much easier for them to make people disappear.

Got a bunch of replies saying I'm making things worse by overreacting and making people panic. Blocked them all. I'm not doing this. I'm not going to gaslit about objective reality. People should be panicking. The worst thing you can do in this moment is nothing at all.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr putting pressure on ABC affiliates to suspend Jimmy Kimmel over his comments on Charlie Kirk is beyond McCarthyism.

Trump officials are repeatedly abusing their power to silence ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, and even joke.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh are going after Pam Bondi. Chris Rufo is going after Kash Patel. Candace Owens is going against everyone and blaming Jews for Charlie Kirk's death. Nick Fuentes is going after Candace Owens and Trump.

The entire far right is tearing itself apart.

We are witnessing the reification of the dual state in the US that never really went away. A normative state for the predominant socioeconomic class in power, white men, and a prerogative state for minorities and women. It will be a dual legal system imposing two totally different systems.

Opinion | Not vaccinating comes at an exorbitant cost Agony and death are not all that shots prevent.

Vaccines not only save lives, they save money.

Paying a hospital bill for what should have been an avoidable illness could bankrupt families and cost the government billions.

Vaccines work and are a cost-effective investment.

Hell yeah Tim Russ! Standing for Treks values ❤️❤️ makes me even more excited to hear him in the next Star Trek Khan episode.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration illegally dismissed large numbers of probationary employees earlier this year a victory for the labor unions and nonprofit groups that brought the case.

Massive account Aesthetica tweets: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie's assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell. Let's get into the evidence (…)” Elon Musk quotes saying “seems likely”

Cernovich tweets: “Matt Walsh had his phone hacked, doxxed, and people showing up to kill him. Over the trans issue. They are exceptionally violent. Not for me to "defend Israel," especially as that side has treated me very badly over the years. But I don't think it wa...” Matt Walsh quotes: “Anyone who's been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious.”

A user, Connor Tomlinson, tweets: “It's time for a complete and total ban on cross-sex hormones. They cannot change your sex...” Elon Musk quotes it saying: “absolutely”

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people.

It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.
