“Direct your anger at Trump. Not the Dems”

As of right now, the 2 Dem leaders are:

-not in favor of abolishing ICE and DHS
-not in favor of an arms embargo against Israel
-not in favor of lifting the embargo against Cuba
-not in favor of leaving Venezuela alone

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

It’s amazing to see Gavin Newsom, Rahm Emanuel, etc running the same playbook that has Labour in shambles here and people refuse to see how it’ll play out just the same.

Dudes rock

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

Almost every statement DHS has made in the past few months about any incidents where someone has died or been subject to unaccountable federal violence has been proven false.

One of the main reasons bosses wanted to crush the tight 21-23 labor market, and elected Trump to ensure they would, was because workers wouldn't put up with shit like this in a world where unemployment was 3%

what the fuck

this really seems like another case of them going after someone prominent to send a “nobody is safe” message and what’s actually going to happen is continuing to polarize everyone but the worst of the worst against them

because how the fuck is this kid a threat to anything

Rebecca Ferguson (Mission Impossible actress) @rebeccaferguson.com This is actress Rebecca Ferguson, the real one and not a scam. Accept my private message request. why on earth would you message me if you were real I need you to watch my movies. the scam is just messaging individual people to watch rebecca ferguson movies? I have been a fan of yours ever since I read a post about how you sneezed so hard the yellow acorn flew off your penis shaft. In Dune 2 I played the powerful mother of a thin desert boy.

Skill issue. If you post good, the right people will figure out how to get in touch with you.

This is a fascist, eliminationist project to eradicate trans people from public life. Full stop.

Any Dem - like Newsom - who doesn’t fully unequivocally support trans people at this moment, who doesn’t fight this tooth and fucking nail, needs to be pushed out of power asap. Reddest of lines.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Bill Gates admits to affairs, apologizes for Epstein relationship, WSJ reports Bill Gates 'took responsibility' over ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation.

We don't accept sorry we demand seppuku

One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.

The Democrats will not have a functional opposition leadership until both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have been removed.

Mamdani’s Vanquished Foes Are Plotting a Comeback, if Not Revenge

A bunch of billionaires and corporations pooling their money to try to keep a popularly elected mayor's agenda in check are not exactly making the case that the city and state shouldn't tax the hell out them.

Unstated in this piece is that Mr Clean is retiring in lieu of facing a disciplinary hearing for firing his service weapon during a fight at a high school basketball game that he was refereeing

when I broke story abt Hanania being Nazi, almost none of folks he was tied to - Substack, NYT, WaPo, Atlantic, Stanford, UT, U of Austin, WSJ, Andreesen, Thiel, Ramaswamy, Sacks, Vance, Federalist Society - would comment

my book describes how this was indicator of this fascist political moment

pov you are wearing meta ray bans

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.

In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.

The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it
