Texas is not where the exciting elections are going on, but there is a huge line at my usually fairly quiet polling place, partly because the county Republicans here have decided we're doing old fashioned paper ballots, but also people are like, screw you, I'll stand in your stupid line, fascists

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Elon’s coming for the Peace Corps, an American initiative he will never understand. Unlike Elon, PCVs are welcome in South Africa.
PC Volunteers live on small stipends and a tiny support staff. The budget is $400m, the same amount of money Elon wanted the State Dept to spend on “armored” Teslas.

At the beginning of Half-Life 2, the game works hard to establish a mood of oppression and fear. A masked cop grabs a soda can out of the trash and throws it on the ground. "Pick that up" he says to you in an electronically distorted voice. In 2007 I picked it up. In 2025 I throw the fuckin can back

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

@schumer.senate.gov Shut it down, Senator. Do not vote with the Republicans, because deep down you know as well as the rest of us that the president will do whatever he wants if you vote for the CR. Might as well dig in while you still can. Stop his power grab by showing us this is not normal

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.
If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.
