Fan of voting, common sense and Kenny Rogers. Nihilism and horseshoe thinking doesn't accomplish anything. It's mocked here. Tax the churches - yes, that one, too.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Elon Musk paid for Cornel West's pathetic run for president. Shouldn't we just assume that a significant percentage of the Abandon Harris and Uncommitted movements were also funded by Elon Musk's dark money PACs? Did Layla Elabed ever ask where the money for her 'shoestring op' came from?

This can't be a one day thing. Elon Musk paying for Cornel West' s campaign should be a cautionary tale for every grifter who trades on academic or entertainment glory to do vanity runs for office. Otherwise, we're going to see Jon Stewart, Stephen A Smith and Peyton Manning run for President.

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

@matthew.flux.community remember when you blamed our terrible, no good spineless media on Dems? Ron Klain read Matt Yglesias, you said. (Klain left the WH in 2023) Democrats are feckless, you said. Apologists for our bad media allow the media to operate in an environment where the GOP flourishes.

Alex Wild@alexwild.bsky.social

An example of how media props up fascists. "Failed to stop"; is not true, of course. GOP policies *actively caused* inflation. But the wording still implies Republicans are good faith actors who want to help Americans. That is the bigger lie, and the one they desperately want us to buy.

I had never heard of Matthew Sheffield before, but apparently he is very obsessed with...... Matt Yglesias.

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

The person you are replying to is, unfortunately, arguing in bad faith. Hasan was absolutely correct. Yglesias has personally briefed Biden in private and was the 3rd most followed writer by Biden admin ppl

Look at this absolute freak melt down over .....Matthew Yglesias. Ron Klain hasn't been in the White House since 2023. And yet.....he is Yglesias's biggest fan? I swear, White men are determined to make mediocrity great again if they have to post it into existence.

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

Now you're lying. Very interesting. You know for a fact that my thread mentioned Yglesias moderating bigshot panels. I invited you to see otherwise. You failed. Besides the Klain love, Y personally spoke w Biden privately. Besides the panels, 25% of Biden officials followed him. Stop lying.

I think some people want to make excuses for Trump voters. I'm not interested in making excuses. They aren't 'low information.' They cared enough to vote, and they heard what he said. They liked him. They saw his racism and his sexism and they liked him.

Do you know this ICE enabler? Yell at him and embarrass him.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

Startling stat — a police officer in a small Texas town handed arrested and handed over immigrants to ICE at such volume that the total number is the equivalent of 10% of his town's population. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/m...

Varvara is just a little cat who had a home, a familiar place to sleep, and people who cared about her. Then Russia destroyed her entire world…

Soooooo....what did these innocent voters think when Abbott was shipping immigrants all over the country?

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

Yes exactly. I think there is an unfortunate tendency to blame voters who often are very hardpressed for time and lack media literacy. A majority of Hispanic men voted for Trump, as did nearly half of Hispanic women. They weren't voting for deporting 20 million people.

Why didn't Democrats buy Fox News and OAN, and take over MSNOW, I am a very serious thought leader.

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

They were victims of a media environment negligent Democrats let happen. Republicans acted and Democrats didn't in response. Democratic Party leaders have agency. They can and should make better decisions.

To all the 'progressives' getting mad at Democrats for this: You gave Trump this power if you stayed home or voted Stein.

I wish Ronald Reagan was alive to watch Donald Trump's Republican Party sell out the United States and democracy.

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

I understand the 'nuance' of Elon Musk's billions in contracts.

Amanda P.@amandapatperez.bsky.social

Is this a good place to point out that the pentagon does waste money, and agreeing with that does not make one an ally of Musk? Or is that too nuanced for you to comprehend?

Every person on here who talks about 'Corporate Dems' but fails to get behind and donate to Sherrod Brown, one of the most pro consumer senators to exist, can shut up forever. I don't think Sherrod Brown has 3 houses or a $23 million dollar PAC, so he needs your help.

Kamala Harris told RFK Jr, in no uncertain terms, to buzz off. Trump put him in charge of Health and Human Services.

Forbes describes how Trump used an environmental easements on Trump National Golf Club in Florida to dodge $825 million in taxes, "give or take a couple hundred million." This is how Todd Blanche is helping Trump cheat on his taxes. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

I'm not a Boomer. I'm a person who 1) knows that the age of the average voter is 52 2) knows that too many people under 52 don't vote 3) knows that men 18-35 voted for Trump 4) knows that Medicare isn't just for people 65+. Nothing is hurting people like this more than her own misplaced ageism.

OMG ARE YOU BLAMING BOOOOOMMMMEEERRRSSS IT'S NOT MEEEEEEEEE! Hey genius, who are the majority of people on Medicare? I don't have time or energy for the "not all" foolishness anymore. BTW dear, largest demos for trump, genx white men, then boomer white men. And it's not only trump, is it?
