In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

Hegseth fixed the woke troops problem so now the bombs actually work

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

Meta must be destroyed.

We fought a war over this. 1 of every 30 Americans died. And then we amended the Constitution to add “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Going back to Cambridge Analytica, this keeps happening on Meta platforms and at a certain point Zuckerberg can’t just act like a smol bean who has no idea why this keeps happening on his platforms and always in the same direction.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

By all accounts he is a swell fellow, but regardless, fire Aaron Glenn.

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

Yep, he's pathetic - but not as pathetic as the system that can't kick him out of office because of it

Musk's DOGE detonated a "trust bomb" inside our natsec institutions, as @jimgoldgeier.bsky.social & I wrote in Feb '25 (headline not ours; our emphatic answer: yes). Now he's intervening directly in a way that gets Ukrainians killed and exposes allies. www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

Idk it's like saying the shill in the gold watch scam is gullible. At some point you have to grow up and realize theyre part of the scam bsky.app/profile/xeyn...

I think that democratic politicians should not forget that the teamsters are going all out to defend swing seat Republican ghouls like Mike Lawler

We never once executed or imprisoned for life a prominent Republican for corruption or war crimes in our lifetimes, and now we’re paying for it.

we're going to need a long-term plan, with broad political appeal, for ending impunity & holding the trump administration accountable for its crimes, malfeasance & cruelties. not 'tit-for-tat' but an american version of transitional justice. my take in @slate.com 👇

the big media effort over the next 2 years will be to promote Vance as a different, more reasonable and moderate guy than Trump. You can already see this in the "leaks" about how Vance secretly opposes the Iran War, attempting to position him, absurdly, as an anti-war candidate for 2028

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

we just love our troops don't we folks? support the troops. stand up for the troops. respect their sacrifice. the troops. gotta respect 'em. it was bullshit the whole time, the same people who spent 25 years saying this cheerlead trump now as he does shit like this. here since she was 6!

this is why you should have to be at least 90 years old to run for president. these people haven’t even really found their footing yet. let them navigate their way through what’s known as the “aimless eighties” before taking on the job

“.. Today, Skydance has a market cap of under $40 billion — less than half the predecessor companies’ combined value.” @variety.com $SKYD variety.com/2026/film/ne...

see which papers are run by fascist apologists

Musk makes a strong case for (inter?)nationalizing all of his assets. He is a fascist and fascist enabler and clear danger to democracy. Throttling Starlink for a specific country sure sounds like a war crime. u

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

The Soviet Union being a horrific human rights disaster really set us back in terms of making international humanitarianism and unity a collective goal and the resurgence of revanchism and ultranationalism a possibility.

Among the elite media, there is a consensus that Trump is committing illegal extrajudicial murders of random Latin American guys in boats all the time, but if you say he might have also committed an extrajudicial murder of Jeffrey Epstein, the idea is treated like saying he rode a unicorn.

D+15 Midterm indicator

This is the direct result of John Roberts’ bullshit. It’s just true.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

impeach hegseth should be on the list day one it is not even debatable tbh

nationalize everything Elon Musk owns.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

the centrists are living in a simulated alternate reality just as much as the trump cultists are

The Plot to Enslave America requires them to destroy the notion of reality and truth. They will use the legal immunity conferred by the captured courts and the technology the tech oligarchs have developed to hasten this plan by flooding the information environment with fake video.

steak and sauerkraut diet not hitting long term I guess
