@smallgovlizard@SaraForTexLege Illinois has had multiple Republican governors. Republican governors were in office from 1977-2003 and from 2015-2019.
Maybe you should educate yourself before spouting off.
@CollegeHoopsTIk McCollum didn't win shit. His team shot lights out and still only had a 4 point lead.
You're an average fan desperately trying to gain followers with terrible takes. Just own that.
One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control:
TikTok
CBS
CNN
HBO
Discovery Channel
BET
Cartoon Network
Comedy Central
DC Studios
Fandango
Miramax
MTV
Nickelodeon
Paramount
PlutoTV
Showtime
TBS
The CW
TNT
Warner Bros.
And more
This is oligarchy.
@imPULSEivity @Jumsy81@EvanMiya Illinois won't play in Chicago but they will likely be in St. Louis in the first two rounds. Those two weekend locations aren't tied together.
@CollegeHoopsTIk@jordanrulesTSP@jeffborzello A win from 3 months ago should not hold that much weight.
UConn hasn't beaten a top 25 KP team since December 9th and just dropped a borderline Q3 game at home.
The entire resume matters.
@USEagleEye@stephen_richer@MikeJohnson There absolutely is a reason. The f'n US postal service is unrealiable.
The only date that should matter is the postmark date.
@Garbagestyleman@UrbanCourtyard No, they do not. Young people have been to European cities at a much higher rate than previous generations and realize how much better and healthier city living is.
Stellan Skarsgård on his worldviews
"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"
(via @vulture)
RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵
America never had free speech. It had selective speech.
You could say fuck the government, as long as it wasn’t your government.
You could protest, as long as it didn’t make anyone uncomfortable.
You could speak truth, unless it hit someone’s wallet or ego.
Putin saw that.
He knew Americans didn’t really understand what freedom is.
They just like saying the word.
So he started pumping them full of chaos. Troll farms. Fake news. Conspiracies.
And he watched them eat it up, smiling.
The land of the free, melting from the inside.
Trump?
Not a mastermind.
Just a balloon full of ego, drifting wherever praise and power blow.
They didn’t recruit him. They just played him.
Put a few young girls near a hotel camera, whisper some flattery, push his face on Russian state TV.
Boom. Useful idiot.
But Elon?
That’s something else.
Elon’s not dumb. He’s dangerous.
He bought Twitter to finish the job.
Not for speech. For control.
He knows what he’s doing.
And it’s working.
MAGA screams free speech
while banning books
silencing teachers
jailing protesters
banning history
crying about drag queens
and begging for dictatorship
because it makes them feel safe.
That’s the free speech hyparadox.
They love freedom until it’s used against their feelings.
They scream truth while choking it.
And most Americans still don’t get it.
Because the real weapon wasn’t lies
it was ego
wrapped in a flag
sold as liberty
and executed with a damn retweet
MAGA right now is like local drunk clowns at a global party🤡➡️🎪➡️🇺🇸
For a brief moment, the whole world is staring at them, not because they’re powerful, not because they’re respected, but because they’re so loud, so ridiculous, so historically embarrassing that you can’t look away.
They should enjoy it while it lasts.
Because once Trump is gone, and he will be gone,
-The world will move on.
-The spotlight will shift.
-America will clean itself up, or collapse trying.
-And MAGA will be left rotting in history, like discarded circus tents after the show leaves town.
They won’t be remembered as warriors.
They’ll be remembered the way we remember people who used to scream about flat earth.
Curious. Sad. Forgotten.
You can’t clown your way into respect.
You can’t shout “Let’s Go Brandon” into history books and expect honor.
They branded themselves already, not as patriots, but as America’s global embarrassment.
And no election, no meme, no rally will wash it off.
Generations will laugh at them.
Until one day, they’ll be nothing more than a punchline in textbooks next to “Prohibition” and “Duck and Cover drills.”
Enjoy the attention, clowns.
The next chapter doesn’t have your name in it.
“MAGA is like a dying fireworks show — loud, messy, burning everything around it — but forgotten before the smoke even clears.”
