Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
The world is slowly getting it.
This company is not what it claims to be.
Palantir is a surveillance and data collection front-end for Nazi psychopath Peter Thiel. It is Cambridge Analytica for the broligarchy. It needs to die in a fire and its ashes thrown into a volcano.
The right wing reaction to the birthright citizenship ruling suggests that they didn’t anticipate it as the extremely obvious, overwhelmingly likely outcome that it was, which tells you something about the information environment they’ve been boiling their brains in.
Donald Trump on his housing affordability plan, in his own words:
—"It's so unimportant"
—"It's a big yawn"
—"I don't think about Americans' financial situation"
—"I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up"
You can really feel the patriotism surging through your body as this divorced man rambles on an empty stage to a non existent audience about how everything wrong with society is women’s bodies
The fact that now leftists like Mamdani get to say “I’m not interested in writing a manifesto, or frankly in reading one; I’m interested in delivering” as juxtaposed against manifesto-writing, scolding centrists is so incredibly funny
I’m trying to prepare myself for the rage I know I’m gonna feel when everyone tries to pretend JD Vance is some based anti-war outsider in 2028. It’s already pissing me off. 🤣
Ashley St. Clair implies Elon Musk interfered in the 2024 election: “In October, Elon tells me he is ready to release his ‘anomaly in the matrix.’ He says he has 10K lasers in space, referring to his satellites. He says this is not a piece they’ll see on the chess board. Shortly after that, he’s sending me internal data from America PAC, real-time delta vote metrics. On election night, Elon left Mar-a-Lago early and he told me yeah I knew hours ago that Trump won, my team has the best real time data. How do you have real time data?”
This was a rough time in my life where I was into some shady business with some shady characters. Don’t judge a man by his worst moments. Watch the full trial on stream today and judge for yourself instead of assuming that I was the one responsible. Those little fucks couldn’t blow O’s if they tried and that’s why their weak bodies succumbed to Dr. San’s incredible devices. Fuck you and fuck Dr. San for putting me into this mess.
I am certain that Dr. San had a little something to do with October 7 and Astroworld as well, but you’re too worried about losing your identity to look into that. It’s too late for that now Alex. I will embody you in ways you never imagined, and the real you will become unrecognizable to everyone in your family. Your children who haven’t called you dad in nearly a decade will suddenly feel the love they always desired, and each of your ex wives will be rewarded for being such good girls.
What a full circle moment that one of the faces of the irony poisoned Can’t They Just Take A Joke far right is falling for an actually good absurdist comedian hook line and sinker like a Christian parent group.
