Newsom is a friend to big business. He is a friend to private equity. He is a friend to law enforcement, to Steve Bannon, to Newt Gingrich, and Charlie Kirk (pre-hole).

He isn't progress — he is a parasite.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

One of the smartest things Costco does is assigning every shopper a “Costco Enemy,”who stays in front of them putting carts in stupid places and blocking the aisle and going really slowly. This gives the shopper 30% more browsing time and creates a memorable, provocative experience

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

I think it's @cooperlund.online who first pointed out that they're not so much interested in fascism as generating fascist content

It's equal parts comforting and exasperating seeing tech bro after tech bro do the Lowtax speed run. The Internet (and unchecked power on it ) really does make you stupid.

This ostentatious Christian with the big cross around her neck is really saying that people who cannot prove their citizenship in an emergency room should be left on the sidewalk to die. And that's what she believes.

Whoever is running DHS social media knew exactly what they were doing here.

The "Mac Tonight" Moon Man meme was so prevalent on Nazi Telegram channels I genuinely didn't even know it originated elsewhere until much later.

Pete Davidson just became the only victim of 9/11 to get reparations from the Saudi regime.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

It does not matter who the Super Bowl act turned out to be they were always going to have to make it a whole thing because these people cannot take one single pitch. Hacking at one hop garbage in the dirt every day of their lives.

how is there not an entire wing of the evangelical movement convinced that the guy named Beast who keeps offering temptations involving fire is literally Satan

The Simpsons old man sitting on a stump telling a story but all the kids have been replaced with headstones

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Who are the Revs going to get as their manager and does Onalfo stay?

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Please play this tomorrow night in Boston.

This is a time for *civility.* And if any of you repulsive maggots so much as *think* a single thought that is different from the ones I am shouting into this microphone you should be beaten and jailed and ruined and set upon by wild dogs who feast on your flesh, you miserable shitstains.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

The thing that is hard to communicate is that that specific flavor of “brainrotted 4chan slug with incoherent beliefs” is also downstream of the right wing politics factories dumping glowing nuclear sludge into the river

there’s a reason nihilism has risen and it wears Rush Limbaugh’s face

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

the guy talked into microphones for hours every single day and none of his supporters are honoring his memory by posting anything he ever said.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

All I'm saying is if this happened to someone like Hasan or something Fox would be running a Biggest Hasan Fails edit with fart noises added

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously
