I think Trump has made a fatal error that could hasten the end of American Fascism under the right circumstances. I’m not saying it’s a done deal by any means, and I’m not saying there isn’t intense danger ahead, but it really feels like he stepped right into a motherfucker of a mess.

They’re killing people in the concentration camps. The kids they’re not killing are going through some of the worst trauma humanly imaginable. This is what’s happening outside the people we’ve seen murdered in broad daylight. Lock the fuck in, people.

Miles Mikolas back to DC for the first time since January 6th

People who say baseball is boring are watching this game.

Seriously, if you're still supporting ICE, you're failing the human test.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

this is a major blow from trump

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people" portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

There will be a point at the trials when the prosecutors are going to want to prove a depraved indifference to human life, and man are they going to be spoiled for material.

The trauma of this event will reverberate in everyone who witnessed it. The tragedy of the American Right is that they don't *believe in trauma,* and so all they do is turn it into outrage and revenge. "Feelings aren't facts," I heard once. But unexamined feelings lead people to distort facts.

Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy’s to the title Tom Clancy’s Holes

warning everyone in my life I am going to be insufferable in october because of florence + taylor

Someday our grandchildren will ask what we did during these times. Every day every single one of us has to choose to be on the right side of history, no matter how inconvenient that may be.

You're probably going to have to be slightly more specific than this.

Yeah

My country is doing great evil. There is no other word for it. It is being done on purpose, with malevolent intent to harm other human beings. And we know it is happening.

@nytimes.com I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt much longer than I should, but the Mamdani smear was the final straw. I’m now free of my overpriced subscription!

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

If you do one thing today, read this article. RFK is doing so much harm to our children, and it has to stop.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

If 200,000 people spread across four states had voted differently, we'd be talking about the policies of the first black female president. Instead, Trump wins a razor-thin race, is still able to be defeated, but Bluesky is full of people who want to imagine they're Jews in 1936 Berlin. /1

Only tangential here I think, but the sportsbetting industry is stealing this from us (in addition to creating addiction). Sports works as a social lubricant because the real stakes are trivial & the imagined stakes are high. It’s a big game of pretend. Adding $ stakes to it ruins its social role

This country is still capable of wonders

Former heroin addict turned HGH guy with worms in his brain who plays around with roadkill and only drinks raw milk: Everyone else is stupid and, frankly, their teeth work too good.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

You can make a difference. Here is a list. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

yes yes yes

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

it causes me such pain to see snooty liberals respond to a story about a horrific, incurable, fatal occupational disease like black lung with “but how did they vote????” as if that fucking matters

the moderate position is “people need to go to prison” for the deportation of people to el salvadoran concentration camps. the radical position is something akin to guillotines on the washington mall

America is solidly in our, “Scream ourselves to sleep, shit ourselves awake” era.

Oh shit is Taylor gonna hide the Rep TV announcement in these files?
