    I still believe this is one of the most important articles that most Americans have never read. How a Brutal Strain of American Aristocrats Have Come to Rule America The worldview of the old Southern aristocracy can now be found nationwide. https://truthout.org/articles/how-a-brutal-strain-of-american-aristocrats-have-come-to-rule-america/

    My friend @tengrain.bsky.social sums up the life of this repulsive and immoral scoundrel perfectly, though perhaps with more words than he deserved. Rest in pieces, scumbag.

    The only person the word “patriot” was ever misapplied to more grotesquely was Rudy Giuliani. (What else can you say about someone whose lead Wikipedia sentence features his disbarment.)

    I saw this video last year and I meant to post it. I guess I was too depressed to remember to do it. Every human being should be aware of just what happens to the animals we consume. Nothing in it is untrue. We just don’t discuss it much. https://3minutes.wtf/en-us/trabo

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/116844802922925010 Oh, great idea! Let’s talk about how “toxic” the only opposition party is months before the most important midterm in history. How is that rhetoric going to drive more voters to the polls? It may not the party we might like it to be, but it’s the only one we have right now. This is NOT helpful.

    I’m not suggesting some of Reagan’s bigger dick moves didn’t set the stage for Gingrich and scum like him. They absolutely did, But no one single thing he did came close to matching what Gingrich implemented with premeditated intentionality. https://stzl.ink/5gdtu4

    All this just to blow smoke over another failure. What a lovely image for our 250th birthday. Well done, Trump fluffers. Fuck you.

    This @atensnut person should be made famous for being one of the most mean spirited MAGA twats on Twitter. Not to mention the most sycophantic. I wish more journalists would out some of these trolls and utterly tank their lives. https://x.com/atensnut/status/2041860767712936285

    Trump’s Plan to Spend $2 Billion to Cancel Offshore Wind Farms With the buyouts of these wind projects, the U.S. is losing enough generation to power more than 3 million homes. And it is only going to cost taxpayers $2 billion. https://factkeepers.com/trumps-plan-to-spend-2-billion-to-cancel-offshore-wind-farms/

    RE: https://mastodon.green/@JustinGerdes/116545846657356632 I’m an American. But I dream of living in a modern country someday. A place where they still have the kind of government (that we helped invent) that supports and nurtures progress for its citizens. ::sigh::

    Back in the day, when twitter was growing, there was a vibrant blogging and tech-press ecosystem that helped people understand what was happening. All of that is gone now, so much explaining the Fediverse has fallen to often lazy journalists, random Twitter celebrities, and earnest but clueless social climbers. It&amp;#39;s not helping.

    G’morning, world. Or what’s left of it, anyway. My dear departed mom was right. The only solution to MAGA news—nay, all news—is animal videos. All day long. Kitten and pups for really bad days, African wildlife for everything else. Oh, and ‘gators or crocs for Kristen Welker and Katy Tur.

    Attorney General Blanche, Pirro, or Zeldin. It’s like a choice between heart disease, kidney failure, or terminal brain cancer. My bet is Zeldin. He’s the biggest Trump fluffer of them all. Pirro is a close second.

    I fear we’re reached a point of no return. We’ve institutionalized stupidity, disinformation and “alternative facts” to such a degree, I don’t see how anything less than a 100 years of reeducation can reboot the Enlightenment. Humanity has royally fucked itself.

    LISTEN⏵The shooter wasn’t the biggest evil at the #WHCD last night. That honor belongs to every journalist who thought it was a good idea to be there given the appalling treatment of the press by this rogue Trump regime. What the fuck were you thinking? (Reposts = agreement)

    Happy Saturday! Forgive me for ruining it for you. “A catastrophic climate event is upon us. Here is why you’ve heard so little about it.” Spoiler: because billionaires that own most of the media don’t want you to hear about it. Simple as that. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/catastrophic-climate-event-scientists-atlantic-system-collapse-billionaire-existential-crisis

    Back in the day, Ana Marie Cox dubbed the #WHCD “Nerdprom.” As I recall, she’s not proud of it. But in any event, today I am comfortable calling it “Turdprom,” in honor of the absolutely execrable judgment of those journalists attending.
