Shout out to Brazil for reminding the world what you’re supposed to do with political figures who actively attempt to subvert democracy.
Notice that part of it is definitely not letting them run for president AGAIN and the other part is sending them to prison for the rest of their miserable life.

Half the condemnations of Kirk’s assassination contain some implication that there are large swaths of the American left who support it, but I have yet to find any actual political figures who have voiced that kind of opinion on it.
So who the fuck is this imaginary Democrat they all disagree with?

So glad Elephant Graveyard is getting the recognition he deserves. His video essays are really amazing works of social commentary in the form of comedic poetry.
really worth watching
This is a real work of art in the Youtube Video Essay genre. Funny, witty, hates the people I hate and genuinely insightful. Highly recommend. youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ?...

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Really this is an act of war on the American people, perpetrated at the behest of one sector of the economy. It is beyond insane.

MAGA,
What you feel now listening to Trump call you stupid for believing a “hoax created by the Democrats” knowing he’s lying…
That’s how the rest of us having been feeling for the past decade. This is what he does; you’re just catching up now because this latest lie is one you don’t want to hear.

“There is no list” seems likely to be true if you ask me. And my favorite part is that in finally not lying about something, they’re ripping the MAGA base apart.
Of all the things Donvict has done, it’s surprising that the Epstein Files is what’s creating cracks in the cult.

Let’s not fall into the conspiracy trap here, folks. This article is referring to the BLS report which accounts for all-sector employment.
The ADP report, which showed a loss of 33,000 jobs, is for private-sector employment only.

The Democratic establishment’s resistance to Mamdani is entirely a product of our campaign financing system. Their donors have made their allergy to common sense social services funded by common sense taxation perfectly clear.
It’s also one of the few “both sides” issues we have left.

Gotta hand it to MAGA for finding a way to pass a budget bill that maybe like three dozen people in the entire country actually wanted. Kudos I guess.
The GOP just collectively voted to add $4 Trillion to the deficit.

Dear hiring managers,
Thank you for putting me through multiple rounds of interviews and assessments. I appreciate your interest in exploiting me.
Unfortunately, your apathy towards me is extremely transparent. So please just put your decision in the first paragraph of your rejection email.

“Diversity of thought” is a nice way of describing incoherent and dissonant sets of ideas, most of which are based just on vibes. Which is what allows for such diversity.
When truth doesn’t matter, we have no basis to form our views on and don’t need to adapt when our ideas are mutually exclusive.

Drawing a silly fun shape is really 80% of online politics discourse. What is the study, how did they sort out all the divergent beliefs from each other. What does shape mean. I’m sure I could look it up but really. the shape is enough

Just to recap the past couple weeks, our current president has, to name a couple:
- announced in-person dinners for the largest purchasers of his $TRUMP coin (AKA openly accepting bribes for meetings with the president)
- and accepted a $400 million gift private jet from the Qatari government.

what is fascinating to me is the number of people whose “knowledge” of government appears to just be an accumulation of cliches and stereotypes + an inchoate sense that if something is big and costly then it must necessarily be “wasteful”
Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

This thread is my response to the homoerotic AI photo of Trump holding a Dark Side lightsaber that the White House tweeted on May 4th wherein they claim to not be the Empire.
Just finished a rewatch of the Star Wars prequels and I just couldn’t help but notice many parallels to real life that now seem like Lucas’ premonitions.
Anakin = Donald Trump before he entered politics. Lucky, naive, horny, and absolutely obsessed with his own destiny and sense of victimhood.
