I think our information environment is so completely fractured that we are all living in different realities instead of a shared experience.

MAHA is a eugenicist movement and you do not negotiate with eugenicists. This is a thing a high proportion of people who will tell you not to frequent the Nazi bar apparently forget when the patrons of the Nazi bar share their priors about food dyes or whatever.

A college professors is fired for teaching an Ottessa Moshfegh story that causes "mild discomfort" for one student. Implication is that DeSantis government was involved in the firing. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...

BTW don't ever forget everything goes back to John Roberts & rest of the Republican judges on current #SCOTUS. Trump currently wouldn't be able to treat blue states as if they are colonies for red state Republicans if not for the Roberts Court giving him immunity for his actions as POTUS.

This is the single most important thing for the American electorate to understand right now. All other policy preferences, political aesthetic tastes, dear and darling issues are moot and access to them can only be restored on the other end of a lasting small d democratic victory for the country.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Do we accuse men of great acts of narcissism for running for office more than once, or do we hold women to a different standard from men?

Kamala Harris running again would be an act of narcissism so great it would tank her primary campaign no matter what polls are saying rn

I am Trans and living in Ohio and I will GLADLY vote for Acton because a less than perfect ally is better than the death camps Vivek & the MAGAts want for people like me. From the bottom of my black and wizened heart, FUCK. YOU.

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

honestly it just makes me so fucking angry to see these guys asking to be treated normally as if they won’t order food, go back to their van, put on masks and kidnap the people who made it for them

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

I did not see this unhinged statement previously. These people really do not understand this country

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

Madison Square Garden Kept a List of Gay Celebrities

An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

I'm so bored of this. The fucking Cheneys bucked their party to campaign against what they saw as a constitutional crisis and you chuds are so oppositoally defiant that you pretend it's not them coming to our side because you're idiots.

I'm upset that they enabled white nationalists by failing to prosecute and imprison Trump, by campaigning with conservatives, but moving hard to the right on immigration enforcement, and by massively increasing funding to prisons and police.

"it's obviously racist, unlike discrimination against Black people, which is too difficult to distinguish from hating Democrats, which is legal & good"

very weird seeing some women speculate that at the heart of misogyny is some kind of latent homosexuality. i'm sorry but like you have to come to terms with the fact that some categorically hetero men truly emphatically subscribe to the idea that violence against women is the natural order of things

NTY is running all these claims down live and has a good headline to boot: Gift link🎁 www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Trump Speech Live Updates: President Asserts Outlandish Claims About Election Results (Gift Article)

Mr. Trump also laid out a purported effort by the Chinese government to undermine him in 2019. But the documents posted by the White House, although heavily redacted, did not back up his claims.

The subtext to this passage is that Nazi tattoos, lust for violence, and rape *are* working class aesthetics and we silly Dems shun them at our peril.

Connor Lynch@connorlynch.bsky.social · 3w ago

was it a plaid shirt his detractors objected to—or a Nazi tattoo, lust for violence, and a rape? Wouldn’t know it from reading this

Love to hand a check to the racist guy who owns the asphalt business so he can plot to make my life worse.

Feckless? Sometimes. Disorganized? Sure. Ineffectual? Arguably. The same as the GOP? You are out of your fucking mind.

The GOP strategy of "destroy the country, pass a poisoned cup off to Democrats to only partially fix" continues unabated.

Sasho Todorov@sashotodorov.bsky.social · 3w ago

One of the things that has me legitimately baffled about the current primary climate (including what will likely be the 2028 race) is that even fairly engaged people don't seem to be pricing in at all that there's not going to be any money in 2029.

A loud subset of white leftists really, really want the world to match their theories, where only materialism and class matter, except the real world keeps showing that non-material factors such as racism matter a great deal, but the theory can't be wrong, so they blame Black people for caring.
