At some point we also have to deal with the fact that one of the two parties is openly hostile to democracy. If you have to win big every election or else the country falls into despotism we're all just playing Russian roulette every few years

We laughed about it in Jan. 2017 when Trump first did it, but we’re all Crowd Size Guys now. We love seeing how many or few people are at the events

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

My big hypothesis is that the old state flag discourse is just a replacement for all of the Trump flags that folks no longer feel comfortably flying. Was surprised driving up north last weekend how few Trump flags or decals I saw. The old state flag is just a less embarrassing way of vice signaling.

A police chief was arrested after investigators alleged he used law enforcement databases, including an ALPR system, for numerous personal searches unrelated to official investigations. Sadly, this isn't the first time a police chief has been caught. www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2026/06/18/m...

If electricity prices went up 76% to subsidize the solar industry, people would completely lose their shit. But doing it to subsidize the Slop Industry is apparently kosher.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you. Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

Did low effort content pave the way for AI? While it's easy to blame big tech, the recent onslaught of slop caters to an audience that has proven time and time again that they prefer quantity to quality. I talked about what it looks like to reclaim your taste and, by extension, your self respect.

“You won’t get killed if you just obey” is not something you say to people in a free country. It’s what you say to hostages.

Correctly observing that state systems are being captured & used to subvert & suppress opposition is not “doomerism.” That shit is simply pertinent information.

Find you a newspaper that loves reporting as much as The New York Times loves lionizing fascist propagandists and terrorists.

Semi-healthy people who hit 100 million net worth stop and say “It’s time to enjoy this and give a bunch away.” Deranged psychopaths think “if 100 million feels good imagine how good 100 billion will feel! And I can buy government to force people to love me and be white.”

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know
