Don't cry to me that people are being mean about how you voted. Prove to me that you learned your lesson and you won't repeat your mistake again.

Just to be clear, WE PAID THE FUCKING TARIFFS AND THE CORPORATIONS GOT THE REFUNDS.
If you vote Republican ever again, you're as dumb as that red hat makes you look.

If we remember one quote from Lindsey, it should be this one. This was a prophetic quote, but not in the way we thought. Our nation is already destroyed in ways we can never recover from because we allowed convicted felon Donald Trump to rule like the dictator he wants to be.

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ...... and we will deserve it."
- Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator, 05/03/2016

Just have faith.

If one science fiction author accurately predicted the current state of, and problem with, AI, it was Douglas Adams' electric monks. These were robots designed by a religious culture to outsource the work of prayer and faith. When one of them is sent to check on the state of the engines of a spaceship, it reports back that they're in good condition. The ship tries to launch and promptly explodes. The electric monk had not carried out any inspection but relied on its core programming of faith.

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel Peace Prize went viral today, for no particular reason.

You've heard it before, but it bears repeating: if voting wasn't a critical component of democracy, they wouldn't be working so hard to prevent you from doing it.

MacKenzie Scott divorced Jeff Bezos and got $36 billion in the divorce.

She has donated $26 billion to charity since then.

She's now worth $42 billion, six billion MORE than when she started.

People will be like "I voted for Trump because I thought he was the lesser of two evils.".

Mother fuckers, you thought a reality TV rapist & pedophile was less evil???

Just say you hate women, black people and children.

A blistering and accurate comment on current events from @jenniebreeden.thedevilspanties.com posted to her thedevilspanties.com website.

Panel 1: A woman holding a sign and wearing a necklace with a cross says, "We have nothing to worry about, we are protected by the law."

Panel 2: Masked agents, representing ICE or Border Patrol, are holding down the main protagonist and arresting her. She says, "Wait! I thought you said we were protected!"

Panel 3: The woman from Panel 1 is smiling and the sign she's holding is revealed to say "Abolish the Browns" with a heart symbol. She's standing behind one of the masked agents who is holding his thumb up. The woman says, "Oh no, the law protects US, so that we can suppress YOU!"

This is why I'm less willing to be sympathetic to right-wing voters who voted for the Felon a second time. leftycartoons.com/2026/01/25/i...

A cartoon in four panels.

Top left: A woman in blouse and skirt carrying a handbag speaks with a young man in a dark blue/gray jacket, light blue shirt, and brown pants. A child stands in a store window behind them holding a sign asking for help.
Woman: I voted for Trump. But I didn't know he'd deport good moms like Carol.
Man: And now that you know, you'll vote for someone who'll fix it, right?
Woman: Eh.

Top right panel: An older man wearing a blue cap, a t-shirt displaying the American flag, and a tattoo on one arm sits at a bar with the same young man from the previous panel.
Older man: We all love Carol. She's so honest and hard working. What they did to her is just awful.
Younger man: Exactly! So next time you'll vote for someone for giving people like Carol legal ways to stay?
Older man: Well...

Bottom left panel: A woman in a light green dress speaks with the same young man from the previous panels in front of a church with a sign that reads "Church of Christian Love". Underneath the sign are three additional signs: "Liberals, Homos, and Trans stay out!!" "Monday Rapture" "Tuesday Potluck"
Woman: Carol's a regular at church! And such a big heart! She doesn't belong in a detention center!
Man: Um...so now you'll vote differently?
Woman: I didn't say that.

Bottom right panel: A man in a checkered flannel shirt and dark pants with a bag over his shoulder looks distressed while speaking. The same young man from previous panels is addressing him looking exasperated.
First man: I can't believe they're doing this to Carol. Poor Carol.
Second man: So now you'll vote differently, right?!?

This is important to remember. The chaos and the lies are part of a deliberate strategy to keep us off-guard and make us question what's true or false. We don't have to let them win.

Text: Hannah Arendt warned us in her work "The Origins of Totalitarianism," that the goal of constant lying wasn't to persuade people to believe a specific lie, but rather to destroy their capacity to distinguish between truth and falsehood, leading to a state of complete subjugation.

This is a pretty accurate summary of the behavior of Democratic leaders, and why their polling numbers are only *slightly* higher than Republicans. It should be FAR higher than 4 points. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com

spaceghoti@spaceghoti· Jan 12

From @tomtomorrow.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... Hey, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @chuckschumer.com, does this sound familiar? Does this give you a clue as to why we have no confidence in your leadership?

Cartoon depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Schumer: Hows this: Trump should stop killing citizens -- and start "killing it" on AFFORDABILITY!

"You won't get killed if you just obey" is not something you say to people in a free country.

It's what you say to hostages.

I'm seeing more and more of these images of Erika Kirk taking center stage, and all I can think is that she looks so much happier after losing 200+ pounds.

I've heard this idea that government should be run like a business all my life, and it was only once I understood how businesses are run did I understand the implications. And now they've got their wish. This is how we lost Toys'R'Us and Joanne's. pestakeholder.org/news/private...

Yeah, this is about right. Credit to @jenniebreeden.thedevilspanties.com for this comic. thedevilspanties.com/archives/16862

Comic strip with four panels. A caricature of Donald Trump is standing on short platform addressing a MAGA supporter presumably wearing a red hat, although the art is black and white.

First panel: Donald Trump says, "I need your tax dollars for a vacation."
The MAGA supporter hands him cash.

Second panel: Donald Trump says, "I need your tax dollars to pay for a ballroom."
The MAGA supporter hands him cash.

Third panel: Donald Trump says, "I need your tax dollars to pay off a drug lord so I have somewhere to run if you morons ever wise up."
The MAGA supporter hands him cash, and says, "What?"

Fourth panel: Donald Trump points off-panel and says, "Look! She's using your tax dollars to pay for a candy bar!!"
The MAGA supporter runs in that direction, waving fists, and yells "Hey!"

A reminder of how easy it is to lie with statistics.

Meme of a young anime girl in four stages of emotion, happy to disturbed.

First stage: The average income in the United States is 74,500$.

Second stage: Excluding the top 10 Americans, it's only 65,000.

Third stage: Excluding the top 50, it drops to 48,000$.

Last stage: Excluding the top 1,000, it drops to just 35,500$.
