It is also why living in a city is almost always a liberalizing experience, and why the right is so obsessed with opposing urbanization

Absolutely this.

White suburbs were created to shield white populations from the realities of the system they prop up.

This is why, among many other things, if you adopt a position anywhere to the left of Bill Clinton in suburbia you are automatically labeled a radical.

When the state kills you, the executioner is not to blame - the head of state is.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wasn't a question

Was Hamas hiding inside of the children?

I just really need everyone to make room in their brains for the fact that Donald Trump is an evil, malignant idiot and that John Bolton, who is a political enemy of Donald Trump and often voices his fundamental differences with him, is also an evil, malignant idiot.

As I navigate through my forties, I have been coming around to this unfortunate but obviously correct position

Just an absolute embarrassment

There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Graham Platner's wife is Jewish.

Grim is basing this factual assertion on a blog post by white supremacist Peter Brimelow, who was merely speculating she MIGHT be because of her name.

And that Grim hasn't deleted thls post tells you everything

Trump voters were not betrayed. They are just idiots blinded by their love of racism and cruelty.

Yeah, sorry, but "betrayal" is not what it's called when you willfully decide to trust the word of a career fraud who has literally been criminally convicted for lying and then that person turns out to have been lying.

And also fuck Krystal Ball. Stop promoting trash.

The Right Is Now ‘Transvestigating’ Erika Kirk And Sydney Sweeney The trend has been going on for a while, but wildly, now the right seems to be eating its own.

A useful microcosm of how fascism actually operates

There are no alliances, no protected classes, no permanent in-groups

There is just a relentless winnowing in the pursuit of power at all costs until only one - and eventually none - is left standing.

These are the sacrifices Americans must be willing to make to support a war that isn't a war that they don't support and didn't ask for.

Mike Johnson "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear this is a limited operation."

The president has called it a war.

The Department of Defense calls itself the Department of War and insists you do the same.

Both have made it clear this is explicitly NOT a limited operation that could in fact go on forever.

Trump Rules Out Talks Absent Iran’s ‘Unconditional Surrender’ Israeli warplanes bombed Beirut and Tehran as Iran launched more retaliatory strikes against Israel and Gulf countries on the seventh day of the war.

- "Give me 20 dollars"

- "No."

- "You leave me no choice but to demand your unconditional surrender."

If anyone is ever like "My name is Gary," their name is Gary.

I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS SACRIFICE WHICH ACTUALLY JUST MAKES IT MURDER

HI BUDDY!!!!

Kristi Noem is lucky she keeps being appointed to stuff since she's now so toxic she couldn't even be elected Dog Killer

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵

I'm just going to say that Cotton definitely meant "looming" and not "imminent", but even then it's an insane argument, just not a fundamentally incoherent one.

Lol Spurs

Grateful to never have to hear the words "Aim Hoomland Sicurity Sicritary Kristi Noooom..." coming from my TV during Game Show Network ad breaks ever again.

Entirely consistent with conservative tradition, Noem leaves us with a fake quote she saw in a meme once.

He will obviously without question end up being worse than Kristi Noem

This is a sitting Senator (complimentary)

You know if he fires Bondi he's just going to appoint Matt Gaetz as acting AG

Fascist bollocks

Noem wasn't fired she just felt it was time to step down and spend more time killing dogs
