in many languages, the slang word for testicles is "eggs". so you can see the Trump Take Eggs things has hit Congressional Republicans particularly hard.

can we just call him Benedict Donald?

the democrats are now the party that favors robust military expenditures and peace through strength. the republicans favor self-castration with a lot of masculine energy.

the UK thrashed around in years of controversy over retrograde plots to ship migrants to Rwanda, while in a matter of weeks the US starts shipping migrants to camps in Central America with hardly a whiff of scandal. i’m sure conditions at these rushed camps will be stellar. i’m ashamed.

fantastic demonstration that the state constitutes the people as much as the people constitute the state. east germany disappeared nearly 35 years ago, but the citizen it constituted remains, and remains distinct from the citizen west germany constituted. image from www.dw.com/en/east-germ...

i wake up, feel stateless, naked, vulnerable. maybe i’m too online, too connected to the news. but the supposed normalcy seems feigned, fake, forced, doomed. which of us are being irrational? it feels like we are in one of @pkrugman.bsky.social’s wile-e coyote moments. some of us have looked down.

i find it a bit weird how little we hear from Kamala Harris or Joe Biden. Biden is old, i guess. but Harris could be at the rhetorical ramparts. i think it would help. the quiet of the people we supposed our leaders is devastating. thank you aoc, pritzker, bernie. more, more, more.

they’d be looking for returns from ingratiating the god emperor.
