“There’s a kind of moral infantilism, in contemporary left-of-center culture, that pretends that feeling angry is the same thing as doing politics, that catharsis is indistinguishable from strategy, that letting people vent their righteous rage is itself a form of justice." – Freddie deBoer

We should pay more attention to what people are saying behind the scenes, and Frumpy’s earshot. Especially when they deny it to avoid his demented wrath.

Zelenskyy would be as safe as Alexei Navalny.
NO FUCKING WAY!!!

If this is true, it’s staggering. You don’t outsource sensitive Pentagon IT to engineers sitting in China and call it “efficient.” Cost savings? No- that’s a national security self-own. Oversight failed, and it needs fixing fast. #CyberSecurity #NationalSecurity #China

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Trump wants our attention. Let’s stop falling for his geopolitical clickbait | Catherine De Vries Whether he’s targeting Greenland, tariffs or Iran, Trump’s agenda is to distract – because a Europe that is always reacting is never planning, says political scientist Catherine De Vries

...the core issue throughout this episode was not whether Trump would act, but that Europe was forced to respond. As governments issue statements and coordinate positions, Trump moves on to the next provocation (tariffs, Iran, Venezuela, Nato, migration)...

🚨 A Trump PAC crossed a line. It implied ICE might “track down” people unless they donate.

That’s coercive, deceptive—and possibly unlawful. ICE doesn’t answer to campaigns. Donations don’t change your status.

This George Santos in drag is running for senate in Wyoming and walks out because they wouldn't buy her/his bullshit.

This is incredible. Sound up.

Ken Burns’ #PBS 6-episode doc “The American Revolution” strikingly captures the parallels, as well. Highly recommended viewing!!!

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned.

There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful.

Paul is a Libertarian who ran as a Republican. He’s really an enigmatic, snivelly little weasel who is endeared every time he stands up for what’s right. John McCain said Paul is a Russian asset. It is invigorating, however, when he makes as much sense as a Democrat.

Rand Paul is an enigma, he’s not a Democrat.

This is a losing issue for Trump. Republicans and Democrats both know that concealed carry with a permit is not grounds for execution. Trump loses with all sides on this issue.

But he’ll still double down on attacking the existence of the Second Amendment because he’s incapable of admitting fault.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.

These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.

They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent?

Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

There are people with principled takes on the 2nd Amendment, like the 1st.

But if you ever believed that the American Right broadly supported 2nd Amendment rights, as opposed to rights for people who agreed with them, you are a fool.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Kristi Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar. We've seen her slander not just one, but American citizens, patriotic Americans who were killed without justification on the streets of Mpls ... we are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House."

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.

Again, this is terrorism.

/3 The second is being a real shitposter relies on a sort of adolescent poseur nihilism: you can’t be sincere about anything. That’s why I’ll never be more than adequate at it.

Harmeet Dhillon is very sincerely devoted to being an agitated fascist, so her attempts will always be cringe.
