The first candidate that runs on a platform of putting the executives and boards of private equity, AI, and prediction markets in prison gets my vote.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

More adults have made youth sports their entire personality in the last 10 years than any child in history. Why don't you go break up a game of hide and seek while you're at it, you fuckin' losers.

Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.

The most infuriating thing about the Kushner/Hasan 1-2 is that it makes obvious the fact that Jeffries doesn't believe that Trump and Republicans represent a grave threat that requires our immediate and undivided focus, despite that being an essentially unanimous belief among his party's voters.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

if youre a democrat folding on hasan piker bull shit, why should i think you are going to push through on the hard stuff? do you have any idea the propaganda campaign you will be facing when you try to investigate trump corruption? the ice killers and rapists? court expansion?

As someone who does advocate for kindness, it is fine to be mean to Nazis and if you feel bad for them, that’s a you thing and you should probably look into that.

I do not think certain liberal pockets have the stomach for even half of what an effective Truth and Reconciliation process would look like

Over 200 articles were written about Jason Arday over the last few weeks in the British press alone. Here are some folks accused of plagiarism who didn’t get that kind of coverage. I’m hoping you can tell why. A thread. William O’Reilly: Professor at Cambridge who lifted 12 pages of text from… 1/

He may be waging an illegal war nobody wanted that’s getting Americans killed while making things more expensive for you and also send his masked secret police to harass your neighbors for no reason, but at least he’s crashing the economy also for no reason

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

This is honestly deeply embarrassing. Who thought this was a good idea? Lips are moving and words are coming out, but absolutely nothing is said. This is what is wrong with the Democratic Party and it’s consultants. It’s shameful that this is where we are.

Mallory McMorrow@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social and I share a belief that we need a better Democratic Party. We have to break norms and be willing to fight for people. We can’t just hold fast to the institution when the opposition is tearing that institution down. And we absolutely have to deliver.

Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

Congratulations to JD Vance & the International Council of Nationalists for helping cost Orban the election & providing a road map for defeating our fascists at home. If a Dem nominee won’t clean house & punish the monsters administrating concentration camps on American soil, they’re a collaborator

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don’t give him what he wants.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Bernie reposted

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.
