this is the most succinct demonstration of why you shouldn't debate or engage directly with fascists. a lot of people i respect are into the whole 'filmed public discourse with the other side' thing but imo all that does is help them raise money

New artwork for It Could Happen Here, a show about our crumbling world and the flashpoints of resistance igniting around the globe.

Wait does that not make him a hero? I mean in the States apparently that makes you a genius, a senator, a governor, a congressman, and if you cheat well enough, president soon to be emperor.

the sister of the race science "academic" quoted by the New York Times in their shameless hit piece on Zohran Mamdani seems like a lovely person and is insisting her brother was never awarded his PhD and is just pretending to be a professional academic

it's possible that something like 50 Texans just died in a flash flood near Austin. Half or more of the dead/missing are children who were at a summer camp. soon we will consider this death toll mercifully small

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

📢 So, the guy that needs coloured picture briefings to even have a grasp what the info is... a guy who, for sure, can't tell the difference between a revolver and a pistol, actually understood the info at hand and planned the bomb strike himself?🙄😂 Support independent media.. @dollemore.com

1. ‘Donald Trump lies like the rest of us breathe.’ 2. ‘Netanyahu needs war to stay out of jail.’ 3. ‘The theocracy in Tehran plays by rules the world can barely understand.’ On the Israel-Iran ceasefire, ‘who do you trust?’, asks @mrjamesob.bsky.social.

This is ridiculous. The only reason America "had" to bomb Iran is because Trump torpedoed the diplomatic strategy of his predecessor. The alleged necessity of the war has been created by the despot currently waging it! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Not that it’s surprising, but the lack of any clear moral line from the most powerful people in the country is truly stunning. Migrants can now be rounded up and sent to torture camps in random countries for the crime of … coming to the US to build a better life.

Oh no Bill Clinton got the sex pest bat signal

if there are reprisal terrorist attacks in the U.S. they are less likely to backed by Iran than they are to be independent actions by individuals unconnected to any state. think the San Bernardino ISIS shooting this is just how political violence works today, it's nothing specific to this conflict

The son of an abusive drug addict telling the nation that “this time it’s different.” We live in a nightmare metaphor.

Update

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

This is how I found out that the United States just bombed Iran. youtube.com/shorts/qwjE3...

'Oh, shut up... What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say.' 'Give one example of his wisdom...' @mrjamesob.bsky.social has no time for caller Wasim's claim that Donald Trump is a 'wise man.'

"Trump Always Wanted To Use the Military To Attack Opponents. Now He’s Doing It" In this short explainer video, with receipts!, I unpack the president's autocratic love for violence against protesters as he escalates in LA, including his praise for China after Tiananmen Square. zeteo.com/subscribe

you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind? you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.

They had their passive voice filter still set to Israeli.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Maura Finkelstein is a Jewish, anti-Zionist professor. Well, she was fired. Regardless whether you agree with her politics, this is a deeply troubling crackdown on academics and professors that will increase under Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

Better Offline Monologue: The AI Job Loss Con @edzitron.com walks you through how the media is misleading you about AI job loss as a form of propaganda for OpenAI and Anthropic - and the Business Idiots behind it. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

I would like to wish a very happy Eid al-Adha to Londoners and all those observing around the world. Eid is a special time to reflect on our blessings, renew our commitment to our faith, and show compassion to those less fortunate.

this is what it took to get the Democrats to make a good post

History teaches us that alliances between oligarchs and fascists, while initially beneficial to each other, usually don't end well.

A reminder for folks in the Nashville area! I’m gonna be at GracePointe Church tonight at 7 PM for a discussion & book signing. If you’re nearby, come say hi!

The Tower of London is one of London’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage site. A true pillar of British history, it continues to be a top destination for those visiting our capital.

I’m way into watching tech YouTube for some reason, and I feel like nobody is willing to acknowledge that iPhones haven’t “gotten boring,” they are a slightly different version of a very good technology and people like them fine. Your job is boring

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Sean can get Feucht

In an era of mounting crises in Hollywood, Michael B. Jordan did the impossible: he got people off their couches and into theaters for an original movie.

PUT IT ON AN IPAD. THE PRESIDENT IS AN IPAD KID

Cuck says what?!!

RIP Hot Lips. Loretta Swit did a wonderful Job as Major Houlihan on MASH one of my favorite characters! Always will think about the time she shot her Foot Locker in order to get a Replacement #MASH #ClassicMASH
