For most normal people, if our children behaved like any of these people do, we consider ourselves failures and be ashamed. Personally, I’d be so embarrassed I’d go live in a cave.

I mean, really… who raised these people?!?

The second part of this week’s show details the utterly immoral and unsafe conditions on Trump’s deportation flights. This depravity of all of this is mind boggling and horribly upsetting.

@onthemedia@journa.host this week takes on the the shambling, reanimated corpse of 50s/60s right wing bogeyman of communism. This time, with the last actual communist state — Cuba — as somehow the nexus is a global movement that’s controlling all democrats and DSA members in an attempt overthrow US democracy through every element of progressive history, like the civil rights movement (for starters).

These are the words of a psychopath: He wants to steal all the water. All of it "Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place. Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down." — Jeff Bezos, June 19,2026

@Bwaz@mastodon.online that seems doubtful. The country wouldn’t stand for that. More likely (IMO) he’ll try (as he’s currently doing) to rig the outcome by controlling who can vote and getting his toadies to illegally redistrict as many states/seats as possible.

Obviously, neither of them legally could run — and it’s clear Obama would have no interest in doing so — but it’s the fact of Obama’s very existence and the depth of his competence compared to Trump that drives them into a frothing frenzy.

These MAGA snowflakes are hilarious.

They are so afraid of and triggered by a competent and still extremely popular (60% approval) ex-president merely speaking in public like every one of his predecessors has done since the birth of the republic.

What’s this really about? Well…It’s starting to dawn on them what’s going to happen when Trump declares the 22nd amendment “unconstitutional” and “runs” for a third term…

If he can run, Obama could —theoretically — run.

There are a lot of reasons to be critical of AI companies but the Trump goons can fuck all the way off with this noise…

@onthemedia has a new series — American Emergency— about how Trump is killing #FEMA by destroying it from within to “prove” to the public that it never worked and both creating and capitalizing on unhinged conspiracy theories that FEMA is at the center of “new world order” conspiracies.

As usual, amazing work by the OTM team.

In case you thought reports of the anti-Semitic ravings in the California June 2nd Primary Election Voter Guide weren’t real…. Well, they are.

Their fig leaf disclaimer doesn’t cut it. This is not free speech here — this is incitement. Whoever allowed this need to be fired.
