MAGA media is desperate for proof of widespread left-wing violence. But from an GOP bar fracas to a teen who staged his abduction by “four Mexicans,” the stories keep turning out to be hoaxes.

MAGA Media Keeps Thirsting for Left-Wing Violence

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

The only way the destruction of the East Wing as a visual metaphor for the state of our country could be even more apt is if it looked like someone was pissing on the rubble.

And here it is:

One of the demolition workers is spraying water up onto the rubble in a way that looks like he’s peeing

He used to work for Blackrock a mercenary. He isn’t the person we thought he was. There must be good Democratic candidates out there who we haven’t heard about. There has to be or we are truly fucked.

Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like “why sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own “illegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

He said he’s getting rid of all Democratic policies and institutions, which includes the whole Department of Education. He’s destroying the White House and our democracy with your Republican colleagues assistance, along with the corrupt Supreme Court. He’s in the Epstein files. What’re y’all doing?

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice.

He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education.

Today on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!

Pay attention to the most important political race of 2025

With energy affordability set to dominate national politics, Peter Hubbard and Brionté McCorkle explain why a down-ballot Georgia race is ground zero for the fight.

I just read a post where someone said the bunker is under the East Wing and they are expanding it and using the ballroom as cover, aka Hitler’s bunker. It’s sounds crazy enough to be true.

ffswtf.bsky.social @ffswtf.bsky.social · 11h

Trump said he wanted to end Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security because they are ‘Democrat’ policies, so they “have to go”. Most social safety nets benefit poor, white Americans aka MAGA, so they have really voted themselves into a pickle. They have full control of federal and many state govts🤷‍♀️
