An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

I guess when you have to choose between facts and the political conspiracies that you’ve built your whole personality around, that you ignore the facts.

“For this showing, the role of Leftist Punching Bag, normally played by Will Stancil, will be played by Santiago Mayer.”

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Yup

Bluesky is infested with these guys

Take your bOthSiDes nonsense and shove it.

If you can’t tell the difference then that’s a YOU problem.

“wider Dem establishment” is so conveniently vague! You can craft any conspiracy theory you want around such a nebulous group.

DNC ≠ corporate Democrats

"DNC" stands for Democratic National Committee, which is an entity with a very public record. There's a lot of valid reasons to criticize them, not supporting Mamdani isn't one of them. They did so pretty publicly.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

It was all a lie and shame on everyone who fell for it.

we’re basically speed running the Iraq war but
-Iran is 2x the population
-Iran is 4x the geographical area
-zero allies on board
-UK potentially actively refusing to let us use their bases
-they’re not even bothering to try to manufacture consent this time

The Supreme Court, like every time they've bucked Trump before, will quickly fall back in line with a massive decision in his favor.

Anyone writing a take this naive must not have mastered object permanence.

Yup

And the liberal international trading system is a threat to the extortion-based oligarchical system that they want.

Liberal, rules-based systems are the main targets of the global conservative movement.

She’s such a good explainer!

The Republican plan has always been to bankrupt the American treasury. They think it will “free” them from the government.

There are no "reasonable Republicans" because they long ago ceased to be a political party.

A political party tries to court your vote. An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting, and all votes from counting.

The entire premise of Pizzagate is that elites use coded language to conceal their crimes. Were they? Maybe, though "pizza" sure seems like a stretch. In reality, what's striking about the files is that Epstein and his associates were very openly referring to young girls as young girls in his emails. One compared a girl to Lolita. Peter Attia, longevity influencer, joked about low-carb pussy' Donald Trump drew him a birthday picture shaped like a young naked woman. Epstein himself wrote, to a redacted person, "Your littlest girl was a little naughty." The Epstein class didn't need code words. They had impunity.

Meanwhile, the Epstein files contain genuinely damning material suggesting decades of elite impunity, institutional failure, and the abuse of vulnerable young women. That's real, and it matters. Going down some 9/11 rabbit hole takes the legitimate rage the Epstein case should produce and converts it into tangential content. Conspiracizing builds audiences, not coalitions for accountability. And it leaves the public conversation stuck on whether "pizza" is a code word rather than on why so few people have been prosecuted.

DerekeThompson wrote after quote tweeting Cenk, "I worry that the social penalty of announcing that you believe in nonsense is going down.” It tabsolutely is. For a lot of big influencers, professing belief in what brainwashed mainstream institutionalists call "conspiracy theories" has become a reliable way to signal independence, attract attention, and harvest engagement. You can rack up Substack subs as a delusionalnment nutjob and earn a very nice living.

It’s been a while since I wrote about conspiracy theories but since Cenk Uygur took the Epstein drop and used it to justify becoming a 9/11 truther, I had to. The last two weeks saw the resurgence of Wayfair & Pizzagate— and those theories aren’t travelling as QAnon anymore, they’re everywhere.

Ma’am, please take your seat so I can drive this bus.

I just wanna let everyone know that the reason that the DOJ under Biden didn’t always do what we wanted was because it wasn’t an arm of the White House. It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.

What the fuck?!

Republicans are rapists and pedophiles.
