Poet on two wheels, with a few too many vintage typewriters, way too many plants, two amazing daughters, and a broad range of liberal beliefs. I sling words for a living, and not afraid to hurl a few. https://bsky.app/profile/analogassasin.bsky.social

Vance is just the most contemptible little shit
Of course, that’s not what he was saying. He was pointing out what was obviously true to anyone alive then - there was a big backlash against Muslim-Americans and anyone with an Arab-sounding name right after 9/11. But Vance has to be an asshole 24/7 for his MAGA troll fans.

Nothing says “alpha male” like lashing out over a tweet you don’t understand that still manages to hurt your feelings

Also, and as well … FUCK Bill Maher.
they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.
Always told liberals Bill Maher was a racist piece of shit, especially against Muslims and Arabs, and we were ignored for years.

It’s been … one of *those* weeks. It felt good to spend time on the track going in circles with friends. Much needed escape from my head.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

A lot of capitalist titans think they can win the Oligarchy Games by sucking up to Trump. But the thing about true oligarchy is that you don't have robust competition. A tiny handful of favored friends take over entire swaths of the economy. Which is exactly what's happening here 👇
Not simply fascism. Monarchism.

Every single member of the Dem party who has stood behind him and propped Cuomo up owns this when Mamdani throttles him in November. Can't wait for it to happen.
Four years ago, when Andrew Cuomo left office as governor, many New Yorkers were ready for him to leave the political stage entirely. “They still are,” Eric Lach writes. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/andrew-cuomos-long-goodbye
The irony, of course, being that Trump couldn't win a battle of wits with a doorknob. His "low IQ" wouldn't get him hired as a human stamp licker at the Post Office.
It’s really sick how this piece of garbage gets away with calling every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” with just no scrutiny.

Every. Single. One.
Yes, we get it: the mayor of Chicago is negroid. Melanated. Dark skinned-ed. Black. Next insult please.
"Public interest" here meaning State Propaganda.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said broadcast TV licenses could be revoked if stations don't serve their public interest obligations.

The FCC has never defined the term "public interest," and critics say Carr has weaponized that requirement to fulfill political agendas.

Harry Enten is same guy who gave us "Soaring Eagle" and "Steady Eddie" (just a couple of weeks ago!) to describe Trump's approval ratings. What a performing clown
Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

It’s worth repeating; FUCK THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Wordle might be fun, but they’ve been loudly promoting trans hate, supporting genocide in Gaza, and actively participating in the spread of fascism.

Warped priorities: 17 NYT news stories on the Louvre jewel heist (so far); 3 NYT news stories on 7 MILLION PEOPLE attending No KIngs Day events (including one on late-night comedians and one on Trump's "brown liquid" video.)

Trump gets a lot of well-deserved shit but the unmovable clowns who keep supporting him deserve even more
One day, and hopefully soon, photos like this will be used in trials, Nuremberg style, that send ICE officials and thugs to life in prison to taste their own brutality.
“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”
