Every Republican under 30 is a Nazi. Every single one. No exceptions. No, not even that guy who you think is your friend. He’s being nice to you in person but talks about how you shouldn’t have rights in his discord chat.

if you invite donald trump to speak at your loved one’s memorial, you deserve to have to watch him insult your dead loved one

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Even after we deal with Trump, we'll be cleaning up the mess he created for decades. Once you mainstream bigotry, it takes a long time and a lot of work to make it shameful again.

i am unfortunately increasingly inclined to say we should look to the invention of the printing press and the centuries of disorder and chaos and dysfunction that followed its introduction until people and the system eventually adjusted to a new reality where ppl could read nonsense & believe it

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 1d

I don't see how we can have a democracy when about one-third of our country's population is COMPLETELY psychotic and detached from reality. I mean that literally and in reference to many of my family members: they flat-out reject the real world and the very concept of evidence.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 2d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
