I think we need a new talk show.

Get trump voters, cabinet members, ice agents on there, let them share their views for five minutes.

Then the host simply nods and asks, "The fuck is wrong with you?"

Arsenio Hall or Wanda Sykes would be top choices for hosting.

Finally, a policy I can follow.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you decide to spend the entire day reading books and eating cinnamon rolls.

Super interesting read
I thoroughly recommend reading all of Cory Doctorow's recent speech on AI skepticism, it's crammed with new arguments and interesting new ways of thinking about these problems pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

These are meaningful in creating a visible "culture of defiance," which in turn encourage further courageous acts of solidarity.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Are they now trying to gaslight us into believing we don't eat turkey the other 364 days of the year? Sure, we don't all roast a goddamn whole turkey every day but we also don't roast whole chickens every day. We do roast JD Vance most every day tho and he's very unappealing.

Congratulations, Scotland!
I've already got my *hilarious* post for when Scotland beat Denmark tonight drafted. It's a shame you'll almost certainly never see it.
