The Beautiful Midnight

Doing my best not to Fed post right now

Holy shit

Here we go again...

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

Someone just tried to assassinate the President again. Meanwhile, the FBI Director:

Of the at least 10 high-profile Dems who traveled to the 2026 Munich Security Conference (Feb. 13–15), only 1 - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) - publicly characterized Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocide” carried out w/ US support. At least 9 others – Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer...

There is some reporting that the Crockett/Allred story is back firing and prompting major Texas names to back Talarico now, donors apparently pulling back, and DCCC/DSCC not wanting to back Crockett in the future

Israel now accepts that it killed 71,000 people in Gaza, and that this number DOES NOT include those starved, crushed, missing or killed by disease resulting from the attack.

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

its looking like the local & state administrators might have folded and will let ice continue to operate in minneapolis WITH local law enforcement protection in exchange for some fake promises that there will be a real investigation into the two murders & a "scaleback

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

It is 1990, a Republican is president and the United States is invading a foreign country for oil. It is 2003, a Republican is president and the United States is invading a foreign country for oil. It is 2026, a Republican is president and the United States is invading a foreign country for oil.

Just a reminder to everyone on how we started 2025.

It's crazy how the internet is such a wild place I know the comic they are referring too....

Man I disconnect for one weekend just to bask in the glow of Tuesday night. Only to wake up on a Monday morning to this. Christ on a bike Democrats...

So has anyone been raptured yet? Or do we gotta queue up? #Happyraptureday

"Progressives are always right. They are just right too early." I just really hope everyone finally sees it now.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide. I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here:

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Wow: 78 year old congressman Jerry Nadler decides not to seek reelection, saying Biden fiasco showed need for "generational change." “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that."

FUCK you @nationalpost.bsky.social. This is unforgivable, traitorous shit from people claiming to be journalists. How dare you accept this framing from a state that is SLAUGHTERING our colleagues. How DARE you.

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back. This is someone who believes in nothing.

Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House. Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/party-cont...

Pls credit independent journalists!!!

I feel genuine disgust and rage that Kier Starmer's team has created a propaganda video saying people are freer to be who they are because of him. How fucking dare they. This is like some 1984 bs

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Virginia Democratic Party Chair’s response to my reporting warning that Gerry Connolly was terminally ill back in December

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Two members of congress in their 70s have died in office this month.

Reps. Jayapal, Raskin and Scanlon are circulating the following letter about Mahmoud Khalil (leaked to me) among congressional colleagues, source says. Draft unambiguously condemns the arrest, saying it's based on an "obsolete Cold War-era" law

Obama guys sure know how to enable Republicans

Congressional democrats holding up their little placards looked like bidders at a Southeby's auction. This is the resistance? www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-tout...

DNC is hiring the same people who just blew the last election. “Ken Martin is promoting from within...taking a stay-the-course approach to staffing despite the party’s losses in November…selections reflect the DNC’s post-election preference for experienced operatives over shaking up the party"

🚨THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL AND YOU SHOULD CARE🚨 "There are hundreds of people jailed in Quebec every year for minor infractions. Why? Access to a fair trial is quietly becoming luxury most cannot afford." Vital story from @titocurtis.bsky.social and Hal Newman for @therovermedia.bsky.social:

Jeffries and other dems are finally getting angry and fighting back…against grassroots democrats who are flooding their office w calls to stand up to Trump/Elon’s coup. outrageous www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

Psh, how could you possibly call Elon a Nazi? He only: - Did a Sieg Heil at the inauguration - Obsesses over Western birth rates - Had grandparents in the Canadian Nazi Party - Endorsed Germany's far-right party, AfD - Replatformed avowed white nationalists You triggered libs.

The amount of performative resistance Liberalism I'm seeing online everywhere is kinda sad. Snark won't save any of you from what's coming.

We are all truly living in the worst dystopia. The V.R. makes you dizzy, and the sex robots are mediocre at best.

A phenomenal point from one of @majorityreport.bsky.social's awesome IMers, "thamesdarwin," on "right-wing populism" vs left-wing populism.

Luigi Mangione’s manifesto does something truly groundbreaking in the genre: it is edited for brevity
