The Trump-Vance mass deportation plans are sickeningly extreme. Most Americans don't support them and Dems have room to go on offense on this. Ad by me and the geniuses I am incredibly lucky to work with at Way to Win, production by Conexión. (both not on here yet)

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

elon getting edged out of the cellar by ken fucking paxton is a brutal hang

I have tried to completely stop using GOP for shorthand for anything, for years. There's nothing remotely grand about these people. I'm cool with GORP but I really think it should be Gross Old Rape Party.

I'm going to write about this I think but a best case scenario in the "worrying about Dems taking an anti-trans turn" would see like Hamilton in Kansas elected and Turek eating shit. That would give us solid grounds to further the argument we've been making within the party on trans rights.

the mad max one... i can't. halp

make sure you hide your little sister from 'em

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Sure, he can say this sort of thing as a candidate in a safe, blue, hippy state like Kansas...

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

This is precisely what bothered me about “ruthless.” It’s exactly like JD characterizing it as an ad that maybe “goes too hard.” NYT headline basically bought the right wing framing of it wholesale.

“Ruthless” is a borderline psychotic way to characterize that Ramaswamy ad

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

imprison all of the pardoned people illegally and pardon the people who jail them, you gotta hit them with the reverse calvinball

I can confirm. Indivisible Action spends about a dime of every dollar raised on fundraising costs, which is very efficient. They are a good example of what a genuine grassroots operation looks like.

It's mildly terrifying and I hope this doesn't give you too clear of a view into the abyss the thin veneer of democracy is built on, but this really is how it works for the overwhelming majority of people, really nearly everyone.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

Friend just texted: "it’s not that empathy attract narcissists, it’s just that they put up with them longer than other people would." Several thoughts. a. 🤯🤯🤯 b. This also explains some of Trump's reëlection. c. Elon and the pro-evil right's attack on empathy will backfire horribly and beautifully.

Oh god. Possible I'm getting a little too online, cuz when I read the lede here I was like, oh, it's that nonsense that DataRepublican was posting on xitter. And yes it sure is. The right wing hogwash pipeline is as functional as ever.

This is both a wild result and excellent, efficient survey design.

Jail jail jail jail jail

my "zero 'coercion' required" t shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt

these are rookie numbers. my 2 year old is going through 5-6 years of math per month. hes got three graduate degrees. started his own trading firm. sold it. started another. regrets his life. he won't talk to me anymore. took up woodworking. i miss him. what went wrong? will pull 6 month old in soon

racism is the fuel that keeps the engines of enshittification running

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

This absolutely rules. I don't care if Bluesky isn't Twitter circa 2016; it's a great place to hang out, chat with cool folks, learn new things, and most importantly, not get bombarded with slurs.
