YouTube gets me! They really, really get me!

People start shit with Trump and MAGA simply by being. Grievance Inc.

Democrats should really feature these creeps their extensive ties to this administration.

These people have embraced nothing but sheer degeneracy at this point. Every single one of them lacks even the most basic moral characteristics required for participation in public life. A movement filled with nothing but the most gutter cretins.

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

The guy who made his fortune by giving Alzheimer’s patients and their families false hope just tried to exploit the sex abuse his opponent suffered as a child for his own political gain. Republicans are a Mad Libs of depraved cruelty and moral degeneracy. Just horrible people.

Please indulge me while I post this once more for folks who may be too busy during the week and only peek at Bluesky on the weekend. The NY Times invited me to explain why I think they're failing in their duty to warn the public about the danger of a dictatorship. And they posted the video online.

There are many reasons why Trump and every member of his autocratic regime deserves prison, but turning federal law enforcement into the Republican Party’s opposition-removal squad is one of them. This is what dictatorships do.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It's important to understand that Trump is a narcissist, he's desperate to hold onto power, and right now he thinks that the biggest threat to his power comes from high diesel prices. So the morality of his entire world now centers around who he blames for high diesel prices.

Any updates?

Jack Smith….man of the people at the Power to the People concert hanging out on the lawn….no fancy pavilion seats or backstage laminate pass

A truly ignorant comment made infinitely worse given events of the past 24 hours.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

US social media companies are interfering in the Brazilian elections in favour of the Far Right’s Flávio Bolsonaro. Meta is the latest. It’s just blocked the campaign account of President Lula in the final stretch of the election.

Complaining about the dismal situation we are in isn't going to change a thing so get up off your butt and VOTE!

so i may be out of my depth here but hes at 30% approval, you elites can stop capitulating now

Seasonal depression is very real, and hits a little different in Central Texas than some of the colder places it's typically associated with. It's hard to accurately describe just how much I hate living in a place where September is hotter than June, July and August.

lmao

When people ask me what kind of music I like, I shrug and say “All kinds.” In light of all the Ed Sheeran BS this week, I’ll add that unless the intro to the the MC5’s Ramblin’ Rose is a part of an artist’s foundational ethos, I’m not going to be interested in their music. youtu.be/qUzgztAtezo?...

Sheeran wants to be “politically neutral” which means he’s guaranteed to be always wrong. You can’t be neutral to hate and genocide.

I know this is beside the point, but unlike Bo French I actually went to UT and can tell you: It was like this 25 years ago. And anyone who had a problem with that went to A&M.

I went to go see the new Oasis documentary Friday night. I don’t want to say too much about it. I went into it with zero expectations, other than being a fan. But if you’re looking to grab a bazooka to blast every shred of cynicism from your soul, this will do it; at least for a little while.

Lynn Blakey is so missed! youtu.be/OvAxc4B3NiA?...

BELOW: Donald Trump honors the victims of 9/11 by flying his eyelids at half-staff.

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

ICE is in fact the worst of the worst

Austin doesn't seem to like Ken Paxton

Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

NEW/SCOOP: After a yearlong #FOIA battle, I finally obtained Ghislaine Maxwell's prison transfer form from BOP. But the agency redacted its rationale for moving the convicted sex offender to a minimum-security prison Read it in this special edition of FOIA Files 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

"Every time a right winger points & laughs at a socialist who was born rich, it should be understood as a desperate attempt to justify their own moral failure to themselves. If you grew up rich & are now a leftist and someone points that out, the proper response is: 'Yes I am. Why aren’t you?'" 💯

So many of these folks are like “ooo we’re daring free-thinking mavericks” and it’s like nah man you’re just super racist

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once
