It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

To Beltway elites, folks like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and Jim Clyburn symbolized the "Good Washington" that was soiled by the uncouth Trump But here they are in steakhouses ripping off taxpayers with bogus contracts in return for campaign cash Yo, pundits, your life is based around a lie

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

So why did WaPo fail to cover this? And why did they cut this line from my letter? “The public deserves to know more about this 2nd phase of the NG deployment & whether they are intentionally targeting schools. Stars & Stripes reported this, but few details have been shared with the public” 11/

You know what occurred to me just now. Rare W for Bill O'Reilly in that he's one of the only guys to get canceled and actually go away. All these other bastards just circle the drain forever, but that guy properly fucked off forever

Story time. My wife's post here reminds me of one of my favorite stories from my time on the Hill, of which there are many. I was in Comms for a Dem member, and the Caucus would put on a weekly talking points seminar for comms staffers. More often than not, these were run by Third Way.

Hey @politico.com can you explain why @thirdway.bsky.social is the source for what the Democrats' SCOTUS platform will be, when they don't even have the word "Democrat" in their name and routinely diss the party? I'll wait.

Why does the Times quote her “like” and “um”s when they don’t for others and it’s against normal editorial ethics?

This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

I love a gimmick episode, but not every episode. Go complete a mission guys, rescue an alien, meet a new type of guy! It can't be wall to wall muppets, musicals and soap opera riffs

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

At a certain point I have to ask myself if I got all this pedigree and spent decades doing research and building things to then spend the rest of my life attempting to come up with good arguments as to why the Cookie Monster isn't real.
