God, I long for the day when I no longer have to think or talk about Trump's dumb, racist ass.

Sean Combs has been found to have committed sexual offenses against women.

This makes him eligible to be the GOP's next candidate for president.

Say what you want about the framers, but they couldn't have known their country would have an idiot dictator president, bootlicking fascists as the majority party, a judicial branch led by fascist apologists, and millions of citizens who keep voting for the idiot no matter what vile things he does.

Honestly, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, fuck you and your centrist bullshit.

I can’t wait to read the next breathless op-ed about how some minor #SCOTUS decision about something that doesn’t matter proves that the court doesn’t vote along party lines.

The PBS NewsHour (@pbsnews.org) had Simon Hankinson from the Heritage Foundation on as a commentator on Trump's halting of visas. This dude is openly racist and virulently anti-immigrant. It's like having Darth Vader on your show to talk about the Emperor's new policy of killing Jedi on sight.

This is truly one of the laziest rulings I've ever seen. Is it actually half-true? The report literally says what the Senator said, but PolitiFact ruled it half-true because the report says other things as well, none of which are exclusive with the claim. This organization is worse than useless.

The kidnapping and rendition of Abrego Garcia isn't the top of a slippery slope, it's a proof of concept. It's not a warning shot, it's a trial run. #abregogarcia #rendition #cecot #elsalvador #Trump

I have seen some wild things on social media in my day, but British people trying to insult Southern cooking and elevate their own… uhhh…. food is the pinnacle. The levels of audacity and delulu!

I Used to Work for Chuck Schumer. He's Pushing Young People Away From the Democratic Party. I blame my former boss for the party's failures.

Young voters have historically trusted Democrats to work against outdated policies and toward systemic change. But the shift in party dynamics has left many young voters increasingly disaffected by politics and disconnected from a party that once felt aligned with our values.

I hate to rat out my generation, but #cursive sucks. It was awful to have to learn, we all hated it (except the couple of kids in the class with perfect handwriting), and the only thing we ever did with it was learn our signatures. To this day, none of us remember how to make a capital Q.

I think it’s always dangerous to picture him as having a plan. He has biases and grievances, not plans. He loves gilded age policies, but not because he has analyzed them and/or appreciates their outcomes. He loves them because he wants to be like the people who enacted them.

Things make a lot more sense when you realize that a lot of folks are willing to pay a steep price for punishing Black and brown folks, women, and LGBTQ folks just for existing. It's not that they don't understand the cost of their actions, they just value the "reward" of those actions a lot more.

Part of the utility of an empty signifier like #DEI for Republicans is that they can fit anything at all into that category and then denounce it without having to use any reference beyond the three letters. It's not racism, it's anti-DEI. It's not erasing history, it's anti-DEI. #Woke is the same.

This seems perfectly legitimate. I didn’t even know I’d applied for a spouse. My wife will be very excited. #singapore #mailorderbride #seemslegit

Ayo Edebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon Musk shared fake report about Pirates of the Caribbean casting The Bear actor called Musk a fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a rightwing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp

It’s the MAGA movement in a nutshell. Non-rich idiots following rich idiots as an excuse to terrorize Black women.

Poor @normornstein.bsky.social is suggesting the most minimal, timid, polite steps by congressional Dems to resist Trump and they’re acting like he wants to firebomb a Tesla dealership.

When I was a kid watching #LooneyTunes, I never imagined that freaking Cod Liver Oil was going to make a big comeback. What's next, #RFKJr, Ipecac?

If your political ideology is built on the exclusion and pain of trans people, you can go straight to hell.
