I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Georgia GOP is tossing out red-meat culture war issues to voters as they defend a pair of seats on the Public Service Commission, which regulates Georgia Power and other utilities. Good @volts.wtf pod on what he calls the most important political race of 2025. www.volts.wtf/p/pay-attent...

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

Imagine the media reaction if a single Democrat ever said anything like this ever once in history.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Aw, a Cardinal couple.❤️

NEW: Tomorrow the Supreme Court will rehear a case that could let the GOP grab 19 new, safe U.S. House seats by gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

I wrote for @slate.com about how the far-right justices seem ready to help Republicans lock in one party rule for a generation.

a couple of people have criticized this "but what if you do bad things with all that power" but like. look around you. the right has already grasped the power at hand and is using it. "republicans use the state to advance their goals; democrats unilaterally disarm" is not a sustainable equilibrium!

Trump is literally bragging about the offer to turn the US military into a privately funded mercenary force.

I couldn’t find that post from the We Rate Dogs account on Twitter or Bluesky, but I logged into a Facebook account and used the link from @quietengineer.fyi, and the post is, indeed, there, and was posted today.

“This heckin’ pupperino fucking hates La Migra,” to paraphrase from @weratedogs.com

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink.
In this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter, I give letter grades to major media outlets. See if you agree.

This is also what holds the different Trumpist factions together for now – the feudal techbro right, the America First nativists, the Christian nationalists: Whatever comes after, what matters in this moment is the “counter-revolution” against the Left – it must be ruthless, it must be radical.

Young Republicans group chat.

I'm sure the Supremes won't have any problem with this. It's what the founders certainly intended. Trump will be irreparably harmed if he can't ruthlessly punish his political opponents and any innocent collateral damage.

Just don't try to forgive student loans. That's where they draw the line.

There's nothing more alien to authoritarians, nothing for which they are worse prepared, than spontaneous creativity & joy.

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

If Jan 6 was all Antifa then why did you pardon them?

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

I just hope they cling to life until there’s a Dem in office.

It looks like a few prominent MAGAs (like MTG and Tucker Carlson) might be setting themselves up for a future run against Trump (or his chosen candidate) by suddenly performing a dramatic departure from Trump over issues that many of his voters are also getting pissed about.

She probably should have impressed this upon Kavanaugh before he issued an opinion endorsing what are now known as “Kavanaugh stops.”
