"Triggered much?" is what a troll says when one of their targets gets bothered by their posts. Here, senior US official Greg Bovino redeploys it to defend/celebrate a literal murder in the physical world. A government of, by, and for the Online Right.

In response to a quote tweet of DHS that says “you guys killed an American citizen,” Greg Bovino replies: “Triggered much?”

we’re living through the national version of that conversation where you’re like, hey, I don’t think grandpa should be driving anymore, but our cousins are all like, fuck that, give him the keys! grandpa rules! I bet he could drive 1000 miles per hour!

All the talk of "balance" in journalism produced a culture where constant sane-washing of the right isn't just allowed, it's expected and required.

The news outlets that have so far covered this have omitted the description of the GoFundMe from the creator himself: "The stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved i made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money." /

Permanent supportive housing has successfully housed some of the city’s most vulnerable residents, but the federal government no longer wants to pay for these projects.

Another example of an article framed by Trump’s pov that barely mentions that Trump, in fact, decisively lost the 2020 election and continues to lie about it, and that he is repeating conspiracy theories with no basis in fact. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Is there any point to sleep anymore? I wake up at 3am still tired of winning. So, so tired of winning.

I honestly think that the main revelation of Trump 2 has been that there is no big C Capital running things behind the scenes anymore and pulling strings. There's individual rich crazy people with their thumbs on the scale, but there's no smoke filled rooms

Competition is a once useful animal trait that has become a destructive mass-pathology used to analyze (very very badly) everything from sex to sleep to pleasure to work to relationships to parenthood. Its inappropriate in 90% of cases and excessive in the rest.

Good Lord. Welker: [Translated] Well, yes, but certainly you wouldn't consider shutting down the entire government over something as insignificant as this?

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

“”We Love America” isn’t a journalistic principle, it’s barely a bumper sticker. True patriotism does not mean ignoring your country’s faults or dismissing its critics as haters or disloyal.” @anthonylfisher.bsky.social with a stirring rebuke of Bari Weiss and CBS News www.ms.now/opinion/cbs-...

Opinion | CBS News' new ‘We Love America’ mantra gets patriotism all wrong

They are trying to outlaw dissent as we celebrate our 250th anniversary standing up to tyrants.

the reason there are going to be more incidents like this is that you’ve hired a bunch of murderers and told them they’ll be protected and celebrated if they shoot people

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

There's no coherent argument for invading or buying Greenland, and when Trump tried to say one to NYTimes it came out as gibberish from a condo salesman about the pride of ownership. It's basically the same as declaring war on Germany to "own" Ramstein Air Base. No upside, immense downside.

Eustis Bell@eustisbellusaf.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

This is just chud welfare, they looted medicaid and foodstamps so they could shower riches on the most unemployable fascist freaks in the country

California now requires corn masa flour to contain folic acid to reduce birth defects among Latinos. Public health officials have lauded these efforts, but some conservatives say it’s another form of government overreach.
