Former comedian, now painfully unfunny entitled ignoramus Dave Chappelle, says he loves "punching down" at disabled people because "they're not as organized as the gays." https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/dave-chappelle-the-dreamer-netflix-trans-jokes-1235852073/

Before taking power as Führer und Reichskanzler in 1934, Adolf Hitler said that immigrants were "poisoning the blood of our country," that he would execute his enemies, and would declare himself a dictator on day one.

Oh sorry, I got that slightly wrong. The guy who actually said that is the candidate your goofy uncle and aunt in the red hats are planning to vote for in 2024.

@freemo OK, I'll remind you: Just last month, Ohio voters passed a Dem-sponsored constitutional amendment to ensure access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. But I get it, you're poorly informed and don't realize you're parroting right-wing messaging. Best of luck. https://apnews.com/article/ohio-abortion-amendment-election-2023-fe3e06747b616507d8ca21ea26485270

This horrific ruling should make very clear to every woman in this country that when ANY Republican is elected to ANY office, NO WOMAN IS SAFE. Republicans are sadistic, twisted, hollowed-out, woman-hating freaks acting out their sickness on a national scale. https://wapo.st/4adJrce

True story: At the height of the Vietnam War in 1968, poet Allen Ginsberg phoned the White House and demanded to speak to Henry Kissinger, who amazingly came on the line. Ginsberg told him he should urge the White House to open up avenues of communication with the antiwar movement. Kissinger tried to sound agreeable, but when Ginsberg tried to broker a meeting between him and pacifist David Dellinger, it never happened. [photo by Fred McDarrah]

After smearing LGBTQ+ teachers as "groomers," who could have imagined that Florida Republicans like Ryan Chamberlin would next target adult support organizations and workplaces? https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/florida-bill-could-destroy-lgbtq?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Poor Linda Yaccarino. Imagine having to spend that much time in the bathroom at work, squinching up to hold in the tears while looking at your increasingly haggard face in the mirror, whispering over and over, "You got this, girl. Think of the money. THINK OF THE MONEY."

Such an awkward coincidence that the testimony of ignoramus Paul DePape, who intended to break Nancy Pelosi's kneecaps and bludgeoned her husband with a hammer, is basically a distillation of the core messages of the leading #GOP candidate for President. https://www.kqed.org/news/11967247/david-depape-on-witness-stand-details-grand-plan-to-violently-interrogate-nancy-pelosi

Years of antivaxx propaganda by Republicans and creeps like RFK Jr and Joe Rogan have taken a toll on Americans' knowledge of what protects them from potentially fatal illness. These numbers don't bode well for our collective future. https://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/vaccine-confidence-falls-as-belief-in-health-misinformation-grows/

Elon Musk taken to court by researcher banned for exposing how X has been turned into a churning cesspool of far-right disinformation. https://www.wired.com/story/x-twitter-ban-critics/?utm_medium=syndication&utm_source=post

As a Jew, I was raised to maintain an instinctive vigilance, as if at any moment, the political winds could shift slightly and the purges, pogroms, and ovens would all come roaring back, while mobs cheered. No matter where your Jewish friends are politically, they're feeling that primordial terror.

Prominent #Nazi front man and #Putin bootlicker Elon Musk, also the fake "savant" wrecker of the once thriving website known as Twitter, regurgitates classic German propaganda about immigrant "invasion." https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/elon-musk-crosses-the-border-to-nazi

I used to be thrilled to get #GratefulDead tickets by mailorder. Now I'm thrilled to get an online appointment for my next #COVID19 booster. Life is weird.

This tweet certainly aged well.

Congratulations, Republicans! Idaho's Teacher of the Year hounded out of the state by twisted, hollowed-out #GOP bigots. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/08/idahos-teacher-of-the-year-flees-state-after-being-attacked-for-lgbtq-allyship/

Exactly this, this all day. And now millions of positive things will never happen because Elon had the power to shit all over the platform formerly known as Twitter. Text by Ryan Broderick.

Never forget that the thing that made it possible for #SCOTUS to kill affirmative action was racist Republican voters electing the most dangerous traitor in US history who appointed paid-off justices that perjured themselves in confirmation hearings.

An instant classic. [via Andrew Beals]

Why you keep hearing about "Hunter Biden's laptop": So you don't keep hearing about Trump's multi-million dollar deals with the Saudi prince who murdered an American journalist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/24/trump-saudis-golf-republicans/
