@sadreturns Everything the Portlandia feminist bookstore owners said that was supposed to be so absurd it was obviously a joke fifteen years ago are things the Left seriously believe today.

Portlandia is interesting because it was clearly produced by libs but it’s one of the few examples of them being able to earnestly, accurately satirize themselves in an actually funny way without still trying to force through a message

@JasonJournoDC Stabbing someone to death is just the SLIGHTEST of things. Blacks are broken.

💥NEW: Jemele Hill on Karmelo Anthony: “Let this be a lesson to us, especially to teach our young black boys, ’cause we have definitely seen this in our community — where the SLIGHTEST of things has touched off something that can’t be reversed!”
“So we need to be having conversation with our young black boys about emotional regulation and decision making and discernment and wisdom.”

@mtaibbi They forced the fraudulent mail- in system on us without legislation or a vote and for some reason now it’s permanent and we can’t undo it without 60 votes in the senate.
English
Yes and the proliferation of “mostly mail-in” systems enabled by outsourced private ballot harvesters is a major, revolutionary change in how America does elections - and there’s no reason for it post-Covid. Why can’t people go to vote? It’s too hard? Wtf?
Democritus Junior@tpkern
@mtaibbi Dude isn't this just mostly due to mail in ballots that take time? This is nothing new in California but in the age of social media, everything is some conspiracy theory
English
@mtaibbi Yes the Democrats unilaterally instituted radical change to elections without a vote or legislation and now apparently we’re not allowed to undo it.
English
People acting like we didn’t institute radical changes to elections in 2020-2022 - it’s infuriating.

Last nights incident in Belfast is no excuse for tonights rascist attacks. Rascists are exploiting mostly young people without thought for the consequences. People deserve better. Say no to rascism.

What a mess. They invited a bunch of washed up has-beens, and now even the washed up has-beens are bailing on them. Yet another reason why the right wing "get literally any famous person we can" approach is retarded.

Bret Michaels is the fifth artist to pull out of the Trump-backed "Freedom 250" concerts in D.C. “Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of. Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable. Because of that, I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

@SecMullinDHS Only six rioters arrested? You need to be going into Newark with an overwhelming show of force immediately.
English
On the evening of May 27th, approximately 100 anti-ICE rioters gathered around the Delaney Hall ICE facility. Rioters assaulted and threw objects at law enforcement. Throughout the night, six rioters were arrested for assaulting law enforcement officers.
Local police refused to help our officers.
Assaulting and obstructing ICE law enforcement is a crime and felony.
Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Law and order will prevail.

@feelsdesperate They look bad because they’re willing to trade away our country and our children’s inheritance for an extra GDP point.
English
I feel like this sort of framing always makes libertarians look bad because it’s so obvious they’re refusing to engage with what’s at issue.
Labor arbitrage favors employers. An expanded labor pool in general leads to lower wages.
You’re not ‘insecure’ or a ‘loser’ for not wanting an expanded labor pool that reduces your earnings. In fact, there’s really nothing more politically legitimate than advocating for your economic interests.
Libertarians need to make the case that expanding the labor pool is good for society as a whole, at scale, and it’s something that they’re having an increasingly hard time doing for a number of reasons.
However, trying to argue people are somehow deficient for pursuing legitimate interests is completely unpersuasive and isn’t going to win anyone over.

This idea of humiliating the villains at the end of a series is a relatively new thing. Case in point, I remember the Nazi major Konig from “Enemy at the Gates” (2000). When facing his death he removes his hat with dignity and looks his enemy (the protagonist) in the eye.

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

@GrantMa25066011 Also Biden didn’t really win it until the mysterious late night pipe bursting in the Atlanta polling center.
English
Biden winning GA by *0.2%* in 2020 REALLY did a number on people’s brains. I’ve been hearing “it’s gonna become the next VA any day now bro” for the past 5 years and it’s still generally an R-leaning state. Nobody talked the same way about MI after Trump won it by 0.2% in 2016.
Hampton Prescott@HamptonPrezcott
The “Georgia is next Virginia, bro” discourse is beyond asinine, but the primary reason why the State is now competitive is that the GOP collectively decided to stop trying to compete in Metro Atlanta, which is insane given how incompetent the local governance has gotten there.

@AuronMacintyre He’s functionally a Democrat, he has to go.

Feel how you want about Massie, the man has literally showed up angry in my mentions, but it’s pretty unsettling that a foreign country is openly working to unseat a congressman in a district where he is very popular

Ohio’s senate is blood red, such that Acton probably wouldn’t be able to get much of anything done. Vivek is much, much more dangerous as a Trojan Horse. Governors don’t control H-1Bs; they control whether every single city/state contract, grant, and subsidy are given to indians.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on Thursday proposed a rule that would limit public housing mostly to citizens, which advocates fear could lead to tens of thousands of people being evicted.
