And then we can give the illegally seized mountain back to the Lakota Sioux.

I want them to try to carve Trump's face into Mount Rushmore because geologists have warned them that it would send the whole jingoistic piece of rock trash crashing down in the greatest metaphor ever.

This shit is always stupid, but it's extra stupid because the Brits conquered a literal fucking quater of the land surface of the planet. If you don't want foreigners in your country, why did you do that?

I guess Waymo shouldn't exist then.

I was shocked to learn in Tennessee that Nashville's single Democratic Congressman was gerrymandered out of a seat, leaving the city divided into several half-urban, half-rural constituencies and with no real representation at all.

That was years ago, and I didn't hear any Republicans object.

That’s the reason I donate to the SPLC. No fraud dectected

Alex Karp looks like if Taika Waititi were electrocuted and then tumble dried in a Laundromat.

if ICE isn't allowed to throw a stuffed penguin off the upper deck then neither is Gritty

Matt Drzik @themattdrzik.bsky.so... 8h The Pittsburgh Penguins should be embarrassed and ashamed for their performance tonight. Not because they lost; that was always going to be a possibility. But to show zero effort in a must-win game against a franchise that actively MURDERED your mascot, your crest, your SYMBOL? Disgraceful. Matt Drzik Follow @themattdrzik.bsky.social And by the way, anyone who celebrates what Gritty--and therefore the Philadelphia Flyers--did tonight in that act of throwing a Penguin from one deck to another: You are no less a psychotic than the current warmongers that run the U.S., and good luck sleeping at night with that conscience. 8:03 PM • Apr 22, 2026

this is the best website on earth by far

Really gonna try not to Casablancas post today, but the number of people who said “you don’t know what he really meant” is a cool reminder that creating ambiguity is exactly why dog whistling works

if you are "sick" — which, again for RFK is a function of race, class and perceived purity — then there is nothing you can do in the face of disease and death, you are destined to succumb. the upshot either way is we do not need vaccines or most modern medical interventions.

if you are "healthy" — which appears to be a function of race, class and the purity of your body, as defined by what you eat and drink — then you cannot be truly sick and you do not need modern medicine.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Yeah here in Georgia we have two Democratic senators but our House delegation is 9R-5D. That ain't an accident.

Republicans clearly think Trump is guilty, though of course, covering for sex crimes is just instinct for a lot of these men.

they're calling it the most successful World Cup of all time

good thing we do not have any ocean based military activities in motion right now

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

well that’s just pathetic isn’t it

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) told Jewish Insider that the latest slate of moves unfolding in Europe is “deeply alarming” and “dangerous for all of us.” “NATO allies like Spain, France and Italy are turning their backs on Israel, a key democratic partner that is actively fighting on the front lines against Iran,” Gottheimer said. “Singling out Israel represents a double standard.” Gottheimer said that the U.S. “must make it clear” to European allies that “abandoning the world’s only Jewish state does not make them safer — it puts all of us at risk.” Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) argued that the U.S. response should focus on strengthening regional and transatlantic ties, calling for an expanded Abraham Accords that are “knitted together with economic, energy and defense ties with Europe,” something he said would “create a more durable Eurasian security infrastructure.”

Gottheimer, Auchincloss, and Schneider seem to think that Israel's relationship with Europe is deteriorating for no reason at all rather than as a natural outcome of Israel's own behavior.

The real conservative objection to VA redistricting is pure Wilhoit: you have to obey laws & proper procedure & we don't. They can't just out and say that in public though, at least not yet, so they are desperately flailing about for some kind of cover argument.

I have seen the concerning footage of Council Member Chi Ossé's arrest earlier today and am in touch with Commissioner Tisch about the nature of the arrest. It is a pleasure to work alongside Council Member Ossé, a leader in his community and a partner in building a safer and more affordable New York City. I am grateful he is out of custody.

These treasonous, racist motherfuckers - and Cory Gardner is among them - could not handle a Black man as the President of the United States negotiating international diplomacy on our behalf.
The disrespect here boggles the mind.

When the devs pipe up

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies

As the conservatives freak out over VA, a reminder:

BEFORE the 2022 midterms, federal courts found that multiple once-covered-by-the-VRA states likely illegally diluted Black votes. But because of Purcell, these illegal maps were used that fall.

So miss me with the pearl clutching.

This scene & the crashouts on X over passage of Virginia’s redistricting plan are, it warrants noting, the same picture.

It’s like a grand unified theory on how MAGA approaches matters, here and abroad: “you mean our _lessers_ can respond when we act like assholes to them? That can’t be right.”

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans
