It’s a Klan Rally. These people only have to hear a name that their lizard brains process as sounding Arabic and hate immediately pours out.

Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
I keep being told that things like "my commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters" is what antisemites sound like, and "Jews import immigrants to dilute the white population" is not. But I don't think that's right. If anything, it's backwards.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoEl-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
That's some racist-ass shit right there.
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · yesterdaySeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
The Democrats' midterm ad practically writes itself.

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

It seems relevant that the thing Isaiah is being sent to do in that passage is to deliver a prophecy of doom to his own people for having fallen away from the path of righteousness. So if these guys were like, Isaiah, that would be robustly bad news for...the United States.

One of the most brilliant aspects of The Boys is the depiction of Homelander as a soulless narcissist surrounded by A) sycophantic worshippers who believed his self-serving lies and B) cynical flatterers who pretended to believe his lies because they feared what he'd do to them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
The judge should drag him into court to say this on the record. Pirro and her staff were subject to ethics rules and contempt restrictions. They couldn’t suborn perjury. Burgum and Trump are posting on social media. They can lie with impunity there.
Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 5d agoOh my. Pirro v Burgum is on people. (Cannot see how they both stay in their jobs)

Yes, yes, critics will say Trump looks like shit at Camp David, but have you considered that he also sounds like shit and, yes, literally smells like shit? Hmm?
I’d look into this but I already have a comprehensive plan with Ghostbusters for all of my supernatural incursion needs and I don’t want to pay the steep early cancellation fee to change at this point.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · last wk.Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says God has given him a "gift" to uncover people's demons and rid them of evil spirits through a specialized prayer. Marx says you, too, can learn how to do it. The eight-part course is $99. www.9news.com/article/news...
Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
One big silver lining here is there's a decent chance we look back on the Iran war as a turning point in the world transitioning to clean energy.
This is the American president talking about American cities. American people. His own country. Then the motherfucker has the gall to call himself patriotic.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "When they take something over, it's always dirty. The sidewalks are dirty. The people are -- I hate to say this -- not clean, okay? The curbs are loaded with you know what. The smell is terrible. I mean, I see it happening to cities. Blue cities. They're all blue."

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.

As to Haiti, remember that this is happening because Justice Sam Alito — joined by all of the Republican SCOTUS appointees — insisted that Trump's racism isn't racism. www.lawdork.com/i/203137816/...

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump on Iran 🤦♂️
The longer this goes on the more I suspect that Mitch McConnell is worth more to the Dems alive and hidden. They have no incentive to confirm the likely truth: He's too sick to vote, but he won't retire.
Navy Man (descendant of ANTIFA since the revolution)@navymanhy.bsky.social · 2w agoI have to admit, the longer this goes the more I suspect the Democrats made a deal...
Nope. No way. Causing mass death, breaking laws, corruption, and essentially executing a big cyber attack on the US is not the sort of thing one accidentally stumbles into. “Oops, I got carried away” is a reasonable reaction when you eat extra brownies that were saved for someone else. Not for this.

When 13 soldiers died on Joe Biden’s watch because Biden was *ending a war* that had killed Americans for two decades, these people acted like Biden shot the soldiers himself
Matt Negrin still host of Hardball on MSNBC@mattnegrin.bsky.social · 2w agoNot a single network aired this on their nightly news broadcasts yesterday. They described Trump overseeing a "somber ceremony" and called it a "moving moment." The only way to know what trump actually said about the soldiers he killed is to follow aaron rupar which no offense to aaron is insane
new diesel record incoming? Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries, Houthi attacks in the Bab-al-Mandab Strait, U.S./Iran trading threats/attacks, U.S. diesel has jumped to avg $5.20/gal, and has a growing shot at reaching new *all-time* record highs (prev $5.82/gal)
