The thing is its not always a stupidity thing. Its also a bad faith and brain rot thing. This particular wad knew being antivax is dumb when it was convenient for his particular take reason.com/2013/03/26/g...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social is this the district you showed in your a blk tonight?

We are at the point where right-wing media is cheering on the building of what they themselves are calling gulags

just incredible analysis here

already seeing some magas pundits saying stuff like "sure this accident wasn't ideal but signal is secure and there isn't anything wrong with what they said in the chat." These two sections from the atlantic piece point out why that's smooth brained thinking

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

musk is bitching about judge shopping and he literally updated x's terms of services in November so he could judge shop litigation to Matthew Kacsmaryk's district in north texas.

The issue is it can be hard to convey to someone not in the know how deranged musk's feed is without also sounding way too online

Logan isn't even allowed on newsmax...

it really can't be said enough how conspiracy-poisoned Musk's brain is

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

When liberal politicians talk about compromising with the right on “wokeness” one reaction I have is you are dealing with a party that will, at the highest levels of power in a state, use the immense levers of government to retaliate against cartoon gay kangaroos who weren’t doing anything

"There is not a vaccine that Kennedy thinks is safe or effective," says @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social.

So if Trump and his allies are saying that they will determine J6 pardons case by case, what's the criteria? Who is supposed to be their poster child of someone who unfairly served prison time and deserves a pardon? The answer given usually boils down to "oh you know.. the ones"

I haven't been able to tick through every name in that doc that served prison time yet... But every single one I did look at was found guilty of assault and/or interfering with law enforcement trying to do their jobs.

With Trump promising again that he will issue his January 6th pardons on day 1 (including for those sent to prison), I finally got curious enough to scroll through the doj's list of convictions. www.justice.gov/usao-dc/medi...

Honestly and truly one of the best and funniest movies ive ever seen

I got a few more followers today. I humbly ask... do you know what movie this is?

RFK Jr. hires top anti-vaccine activist as campaign communications director Del Bigtree, who leads the country’s second best-funded anti-vaccine organization, announced his new role with a letter rife with misinformation.

And to get a sense of the guy's worldview in his own words, you can read his letter announcing that he would become communications director for RFK Jr's presidential campaign. It's linked in the article www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Once struggling, anti-vaccination groups have enjoyed a pandemic windfall Newly filed tax records show that ICAN, one of the country’s best-funded anti-vaccine organizations, saw a 60 percent jump in revenue in 2020.

If you're not familiar with Bigtree and ICAN here's a good piece from the always great @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social from back in 2022 www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

Kennedy's 'MAHA transition team' includes anti-vax activists At least three informal advisers connected to the anti-vaccine movement are assisting Kennedy in filling out his staff as he prepares to lead HHS.

Not great that one of the anti-vax activists who is helping to vet resumes, conduct interviews, and give advice for RFK Jr's HHS transition is del bigtree the head of ICAN... www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Just once I would love for big-brained billionaires like Musk to understand the criticisms of fascism, authoritarianism, and broken power structures in a comic... And not unironically go hell yeah this is actually cool and good.

Jeeezum... Gaetz is the "judge dredd america needs" is not the endorsement this guy thinks it is

"I will expose all the sexual predators and creeps if we don't protect this one sexual predator and creep"

Wallace inaugurated as Alabama Governor, Jan. 14, 1963 On this day in 1963, George Wallace promised his followers “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” as he was inaugurated Alabama’s 45th governor.

The point of showing that trump clip is a) hes amazed at his bigotry and b) id argue its the same exact lesson george wallace took about what his followers "stomped the floor about" search.app?link=https%3...

Fine, Let's Talk About Trans Athletes But let's dispense with the pretense that this is actually about sports at all

And i think the always great parker molloy is right. It depends. But its impossible to have a good faith conversation when so much bad faith is out there www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

California transgender teen, family hope to be an inspiration to others | Fox News Video Fox News’ Bryan Llenas shares Ryland Whittington's journey for LGBTQ+ Pride Month.

One of the small things that really highlights how quickly this panic started is it was only back in summer 2021 that Fox News ran a feel good piece on a family loving and supporting their trans child. www.foxnews.com/video/630758...
