You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

If Biden had thrown Trump in the slammer we wouldn't be here. You can piss and moan all you want but J6 was history books shit and history books shit requires the President to do President shit. And he didn't. And now the guy who saved millions has to eat shit from a penis like Ron Johnson

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...
The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

The fundamental test of birthright citizenship is this: if someone illegally trafficked people to this country and forced them into bondage and then those people had children, would those children have rights to object to continued servitude? If you answer isn't "yes, they have rights" you lose.

Los Angeles County literally has a fully transparent vote counting process - the entire count is livestreamed online. This commitment to transparency makes zero difference, mainstream press still credulously repeats GOP info bubble claims of fraud anyway.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.
Editors’ Note: May 1, 2026
This article was updated after The Times learned that a remark attributed to Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, was in fact an A.I.-generated summary of his views about Canadian politics that A.I. rendered as a quotation. The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned.  The article now accurately quotes from a speech delivered by Mr. Poilievre in April. He said, “My personal opinion is that when a member of Parliament goes back on the word they made to their constituents and switches parties, constituents should be able to petition to throw them out and have a byelection. That would put the people back in charge of our democracy rather than having dirty backroom Liberal deals by Mark Carney determine our destiny.” He did not refer to politicians who changed allegiances as turncoats in that speech.

At a time when the president is starting wars, sniping boats, taking bribes, gutting vaccines and decimating foreign aid, The Atlantic publishes two (2) articles decrying a New York Times podcast where a Twitch streamer says shoplifting isn't a huge deal.

Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

ICE isn't even a quarter of a century old. Roe was older than that and it got torpedoed *and* that was a former SCOTUS decision. ICE is not. don't be so damp.

This trade with the Canucks and a Hughes brother was disappointing to me, as someone who wants to increase consolidation of last names in the NHL. Maybe we can change Rossi's name to Petterson?

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

A few years ago @somemorenews.bsky.social talked about how so much of Musk's politics seems based on him seeing his personal problems as the key political issue of the day (like claiming Democrats are in the control of class-action lawyers) and that feels so resonant here

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

I'm going to be blunt here and say that there is an epistemic disease among much of the American establishment that absolutely refuses to believe that Trump is capable of truly bad things. It's part of what's enfeebling the elite opposition to him right now.
