A vengeance-driven autocratic Trump returning to power exemplifies "you come at the king, you best not miss," but there is no reason why that can't also apply to vengefully, incessantly working to obliterate every essence of anti-democracy Trumpism and Trump sympathy from all American institutions.

I’m just watching the boy in the lower left, growing up to think this is how a powerful man talks.

Disingenuous, buffoonish wrecker shit.

tommy did not get paid $250k to disrupt el-sayed's event. tommy's dad TIMMY's LLC was paid that amount. whether timmy gave tommy a cut is unknown at this point.

This will never not look like a Parks and Recreation bit.

yes. conservatives looked at the american experiment in mass, high quality education over the course of the 20th century and concluded that it was a failure that threatened to overturn existing hierarchies of status.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

This bad boy can fit so many nationalized space companies inside it you wouldn’t believe it

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

This is why I will not be lectured by people who think it’s so mean that I’ve gone no contact with people, including family, for supporting this. It’s not a difference of opinion, it’s a difference in values. No amount of shitty WSJ op-eds will change that.

Jesus. (laudatory)

This is exactly right, and one of a number of factors creating our current perfect storm of social decay. Positive social incentives to guide self-serving rich ppl were replaced by antisocial, nihilistic, or delusional engagements, reinforced by antisocial online culture and/or LLM chatbots.

And God saw the boys that he had made, and behold, they were back in town

No one involved has any real respect for this woman – from the reporter, to Trump, to the woman herself – and deservedly so.

if you take the other side of any of those arguments you are implicitly accepting that there is a real debate here. there is not. the world's richest man let food grain aid rot on shelves for basically no reason that is even remotely defensible.

WATCHING SPORTS SHOULD BE EASIER THAN BETTING ON SPORTS

The next DOJ should just have a division looking into financial and sexual crimes of all public figure Republicans. Probably get a 50% hit rate on some crime.

🧵One important thing about right-wing culture that people who have never been a part of it don't get is that to most Republican loyalists, their religion is America. They truly believe that the country's creators were directly inspired by God. To write critically of the founders is blasphemy.

Perfect "Der Untergang" material IMO.

Gotta say, George W. Bush throwing his political weight behind an ill-advised and blunderous war in the Middle East really came out of nowhere.

From the avatar of self-sacrifice and asceticism himself, folks, so heed his words.

There’s a political dynamic that is motivating him to say these things in a Fox News interview. You are all smart enough to know that. And to be frank, your audience would be better served by you helping them to understand that dynamic than by you reflecting their anxiety back at them.

My issue with lots of the big accounts on here is that everyone on this app knows you disagree with Talarico. No shit. You aren’t adding anything by saying, “wow, sir! Bad take!” If you genuinely think people shouldn’t support Talarico, just say that. If you don’t, you need to be more intentional.

if you love america: everything good about this country has been diminished as a result if you hate america: everything you hate about this country has gotten many times worse

twenty five years later there's one thing we can say about 9/11 and its aftermath: it was an absolute fucking disaster for pretty much everyone in the world

Where was Gondwana when the Westfold fell?

Asking an LLM to craft a paragraph so arcane and incomprehensible that it could fit in the Lovecraft Mythos alongside the likes of Yog-Sothoth and Nyarlathotep

Trump is a bully and has always been a bully. He's dominated whoever he could his whole life. Vance is a kneebiter and has always been a kneebiter, but he imagines he can level up to bully. No kneebiter ever has. Wormtongue will never be the man in charge of even the stupidest evil.

"America" and "Trump" are expressed interchangeably by this administration, for the one person out there still pretending not to understand the "No Kings" protests.

There is something kind of bleakly funny about how much time and ink was spilled about how we'd moved past the GWOT and Forever Wars and come to terms with our mistakes and entered a new phase of politics and then every time a Muslim shows appears on TV the media snaps back to 2003 instantly.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

We've come a long way from Freedom Fries to Lake America.

Razmir, the Living God, has just announced that Lake Encarthan will now be known as Lake Razmir!

It was more than bad enough how many institutions caved to the stupid "Gulf of America" stuff, in the early weeks when Trump somehow had an image of being all-powerful. Any institution that *now* adopts "Lake of America" is being Trumpist on purpose, with all that implies.

Never forgiving Apple or Google for participating in this bullshit.
