An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU
The money I would pay for him to attempt to ice skate
Anyway, I keep coming back to this as a lens through which to view the USA at this moment. The global superpower has gone mad and is ripping itself and the world apart
The Plutonian in Irredeemable, Super Shock in Powers, or Homelander in the boys. When done well it evinces bleak existential horror at an unstoppable global catastrophe combined with deep sadness at something once beloved being twisted into something terrible

In comics there's a pretty well-trod (one might even say done to death) subgenre of "what if Superman went mad." It was done first and best IMO by Alan Moore with the haunting story of Johnny Bates in Marvelman/Miracleman and includes other notable entries like...

Honestly think it might be him just because any time I think something is *too* stupid/narcissistic/crazy for him I end up being wrong
To be clear, I'm criticizing the people being satirized by the article, not criticizing the Onion
One would think the fact that 10 years ago we were quibbling over whether it was appropriate to call it fascism and now we're quibbling over whether to call them concentration camps implies a trajectory that indicates we shouldn't have quibbled. 2030 discourse: "Should We Call Them Gas Chambers"
Running candidates while Trump was on the ballot (ESPECIALLY after 2016) has me fairly convinced that the Green Party is a spoiler op and not concerned w/ winning
First ten words already have me crying 🐺
Response from editorial was basically "cool story bro, don't let the door hit you on the way out also you clearly don't get this book" and I was so proud of my X-buddies. Early 90s, queerness still HEAVILY stigmatized, and they didn't even blink 🫡 2/2
Remember an issue in the 90s where Prof compares bigotry toward mutants to that experienced by various minorities including gay folks (beginning of Executioner's Song I think?) and a couple months later seeing an angry letter in the fan mail from some twit who thought it was inappropriate and...1/2
ICE now exists purely as an extralegal private army answering only to a tyrannical regime. It's the enforcement mechanism for a despot and his fascist lackeys and removing it is crucial for halting our fall from democracy. The house is on fire; stop negotiating with it and put it out or die trying
OH MY GOD THAT'S THE ACTUAL CONVERSATION. I thought you were satirically riffing on it...
Seems like a good moment to assert/remind that he will never again be on the ballot
If only there had been one million signs
"...efforts to enforce federal law." Grabbing people w/ active asylum cases isn't enforcing any law. Neither is grabbing random brown people. Or interfering w/ observers. Or doing literally anything to US citizens. The 8th circuit's premise is objectively bullshit and shouldn't be factored in here
+1 He was incredible in 5 Bloods
Identify the trajectory to avert the impact, you goddamn morons (not you guys)
Just… The entire value of studying 20th century fascism was the ability to recognize its formative stages and stop it early. "Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers"+violence is ok+lies about observable objective reality told us all we needed to name it and smother it in 2015
Tim Walz could do something hilarious right now
Can't call it cancer til it's stage 4, everyone knows that
He's getting ICE funding that you could have blocked in the House
Holy shit, I was literally going to comment that his jaw was going to fall off during a speech like the fly and then saw this. Great minds, I guess
"This" being a vote to pass any bill that funds ICE, tbc
We need to keep track of who goes along with this and make sure they lose their next primary. This has to be career-ending
"What the hell is wrong w/ Republicans that we can't get 20 of them to end this right now?" And where is the obstruction? Mitch McConnell gave us a perfect blueprint for just how much a minority party can slow things down and we are leaving it on the floor. Fight so people SEE the fight
