I wish Democrats would fight as hard against Donald Trump as they do against Zohran Mamdani.

Folks! We did it! The Onion has 60,000 subscribers!

We're that much closer to reaching our goal of beating The Washington Post's print circulation by the end of next year. (They were last reported at 97k, but it's probably lower now.)

Thank you all. Democracy died in darkness but we're still here.

Another example I love:

Letter below is by surgical oncologist and professor Dr. Michael Baum about how a character explaining chaos theory in a Tom Stoppard play sparked an expansion in his understanding of breast cancer, leading to exploration of adjuvant therapy that protects distant organs.
Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.

I know there’s a lot going on but are we ever circling back to the Epstein Files?

The president’s involvement with his best friend’s scheme of sex trafficking minors seems a little important

Hyper normalizing extrajudicial murder abroad in the way we are now means that same extrajudicial murder will be deployed at home within months if not sooner.

Once again, a Scottish newspaper takes a stand, refusing to follow the mainstream media mob in perpetuating the great fiction that is the Gaza “ceasefire”.

The @scotnational.bsky.social puts their peers to shame.

Aftyn Behn is proving that a grassroots movement can shake a district the GOP thought it owned. They’re pouring money into #TN07 because a woman powered by workers, moms, students, and rural communities has them rattled. This race is close. Vote like the future depends on it.

A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

Gorgeous colorizations of trans history images,

and a lot of incredible stories, including many lesser-known to many (A Zapatista colonel, a "transvestite pass" issued in 1928, the Scottish nobleman who the courts ruled should inherit his baronetcy in the 60s... for example...)

Using recent breakthroughs in photo editing techniques, Eli colorizes, restores, and digitizes photos from queer and trans history. The following images are originally from 1897-1973.

Republicans who pretend to be concerned about political violence when their culture of political violence splashes back on them need to be loudly shouted down and chased out of the public square.
BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

My friends and former colleagues at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum get all the credit for this one. I don’t think they’ll mind if I share it.

Attacking trans children is about attacking all children in the same way attacking trans autonomy is about attacking all bodily autonomy. Our actions are particularly powerful, autonomous and brave, and that means even well meaning ppl find us ideologically disturbing

MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning.

5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.

It has been super fascinating to watch the ways in which every organization in the west has contorted themselves to prostrate before King Baby though.

Nothing has left me more confused. I am old enough to remember people genuinely asking 'What can Biden do? He's only the President' about everything
