Where's JG Ballard when you need him? (If you've ever read New Wave SF from the 70s you'll understand how this image is right out of Michael Moorcock's NEW WORLDS magazine)
another insane Trump tweet where he declares, "The Moon is ours."

I think what you’re seeing in WI and the closer than expected Michigan senate race, it’s less about the Dems wanting to go far far left and more about wanting fighters. Completely normal desire in this Trump moment

I think the problem is that many Americans know Canadians, have a sense of the culture. This stuff is just too absurd.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

Absolutely howling at the Vatican doing a "I'm sorry did I fucking stutter" to the US ambassador to the Vatican to make it unambiguously clear that he's both 1) wrong and 2) not in Rome's good graces for casually blaspheming about the Pope while being wrong

All the ways Trump has gutted efforts to stop foreign election interference: -laid off a third of CISA employees -disbanded FBI task charged with combatting foreign election interference -eliminated DHS teams combatting foreign disinformation -fired all the EAC commissioners

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures. You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like. Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying it in this state!

Trump sued his own government to pay himself $10 billion in taxpayer funds. He even said: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself." It's not strange. It's corrupt.

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

I've been a Dune fan since I read the first book when I was 14 or 15, but toxic fanboys can't help attacking the new Dune films. Mostly they hate Zendaya as Chani and have offered replacements. Interestingly, their choices are all extremely white. Fandoms can be great or the absolute fucking worst.

If ICE in the airports does materialize this should be yet another sign to journalists to stop using terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" with regard to ICE. They are merely Trump's paramilitary force to be used as he pleases.
