who Ana apparently thinks was on Charlie's security team

[kafka esquire @Kafkaesquire]

I was pretty suspicious when I learned he had a Nazi tattoo, and when he lied about the Nazi tattoo, and when he lied about it again, and his desire to kill people in the ME, and when he became a mercenary to kill more people in the ME, and when he was found sexting women who weren’t his wife, and when a credible allegation of sexual assault came out, and when he said he had a drinking problem and was seen drinking, and when he made flippant comments about enacting sexual violence on people, and when he had a second much clearer allegation but this time for rape.

But then Ryan Grim came out and told me that there was a text message string that hadn’t been reported on, and now I just don’t know what to think.

DSA cattle will be like "I'm a progressive who supports liberation" and then you look at their list of favorite countries and it's this:

[IAmFruit @RealIAmFruit]

These MAGA tards really loves gaslighting. They wave the confederate flag to "preserve history and culture" at the same time as they want to ban books, suppress anyone talking about the Tulsa massacre, and scream that Democrats are traitors to this country.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Just think, 250 years on, what the founders would see if they visited us today.

But wait, they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights.

They would see that our science and discovery propelled human knowledge to unimaginable heights and that those thirteen colonies had grown into a superpower that defeated the Nazis and Communism.

They'd see a pluralist democracy, people of all colors descended from every point on Earth, stitched together out of many nations into one.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit.

The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here.

Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice.

You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action.

"Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism.

But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.

“You literally support the USA and Ukraine”

Yes

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Leftists: I voted for Kamala

Also leftists: Kamala should be locked up

Both of these things can’t be true

[Natalie Wynn @ContraPoints]

“Silence is violence” is possibly the worst woke 1 idea, pretty much guarantees you end up with a bunch of very loud people who have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

A comment I left on my blog, during an argument with a leftist reader.

"why do you care about having a disc"

THIS IS WHY DUMBASS

[Peace for Politics @peace4policy]

@tafphorisms I think that your perception of the world, especially when younger is much more malleable then after many years of perceptual reinforcement.

I remember reading or listening about someone who would hallucinate police sirens whenever a police car was sitting in a speed trap.

[THE SOY PILL @thesoypill]

I'm appalled by this leak.

They should be saying this out loud, not in private. Be better Democrats.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I never wanna hear a word about free speech from the GOP ever again.

[Peace for Politics @peace4policy]

@ContraPoints Either way the dentist will eventually read the imaging and you’ll get yourself an actual answer

[Peace for Politics @peace4policy]

@ContraPoints But to expedite the answering… it’s kind of give and take.

If the dentist wants to make money to live comfortably, they have to work less hours and use AI to reduce to the costs of the business (or perhaps it’s the corporation’s decision).

[Destiny | Steven Bonnell II @TheOmniLiberal]

Hasan just today discovering that conservatives have been attacking liberals and freedom of speech for years but he's never realized it since he's never been banned or deplatformed from any major platform a single time in his entire life.

[Dev @sleepy_devo]

bro hold the fucking phone

@RyanCMullally it's totally fine if you think i lost the debate and you want to gloat about it, that's normal and expected.

it's fucking unhinged for your post-debate rhetoric to consist of you retweeting my dox from a guy who has stalked me for years
