Because our senses are so limited and the nature of all things so transient, what we know to be objective reality is a momentary snapshot of the whole picture

I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy

i have no idea how we get *out* of a shutdown, but i do not think that cocooning yourself in AI slop videos and refusing to leave your room is an effective way to win the politics of a shutdown

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Europe’s Identitarian Movement is cashing in on hate, using platforms like WordPress, Shopify & Stripe to sell hate merch. Their “remigration” agenda is spreading transnationally, shaping far-right politics in Europe & the U.S., even echoing Trump-era policies.

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.
In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Charlie Kirk was shot during an audience Q&A. I swear that the following transcript is real.

Question: "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years?"

Charlie Kirk: "Counting or not counting gang violence?"

He was shot a split second later.

Do you have video or other documentation of forceful or violent arrests by immigration agents that we should review? Please reach out.
