I make sauerkraut and occasionally get paid to write stuff. Anything else I do is a coincidence.

PIKER: "Dems will be like 'we need young men' - then I help get people excited to fight back against Trumpism/fascism in a MIDTERM PRIMARY... and they call me a pedo." 🫡 Salute to @daveweigel.bsky.social for having the balls to actually talk to Hasan as the rest of the cowardly media blackball him

White people who can't bother to click on Black faces in the feed because they don't want Black content, are the problem! These people have been suffering for 3 weeks and hardly no one has called and demanded federal intervention. IT'S A GODDAMN PHONE CALL! But no, not for them!

HP movies ended like 15 years ago. It's called Harry Potter. That story is done. I legit dont get what other story is there for you to indulge. If you're hooked to this shit cos of nostalgia... the main cast has disavowed Rowling. Cos she literally causes suffering. Like... what more do you need?

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

Kentucky’s constitution gives Gov. Beshear the power to appoint a Democrat to McConnell’s seat. Republicans rewrote the law twice to stop him. I signed — tell him to use it: petition.edwardswire.com/beshear Yeah, I signed it. You can do it too. Or not.

Russia's latest batch of fake news posts targets parties in Germany from the far-left to centre-right, but stopping short of the far right, for obvious reasons. Note the very similar numbers of replies, views, and reposts, signs of bot networks boosting the post, but little to none real engagement.

You shouldn't be able to lead an IPO and a pogrom in the same week.

Chuds slowly waking up that MAGA is bullshit and the fat orange bitch is a conman.

Republican C-SPAN caller: “It’s hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public it might help others… I regret my support for Trump, and I should’ve known better. He’s a con man. A liar. The worst, most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

So Bradley absolutely needs to be held accountable for war crimes but it's also going to absolutely flatline the trump admin's good will with the crazy branch of the military by throwing someone willing to go along with their shit under the bus.

If we had a functioning Congress, it would be requiring Trump to (1) Provide a complete list of all people/countries/corporations/mafia providing bribes, ur, “donations” for his tacky ballroom; and (2) An audited accounting of where all the money goes.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

The one positive from the past two weeks is that also the establishment "moderates" are being exposed, revealed, and rejected by the majority. Includes Van Jones, Ezra Klein, The Abundance Crew, Friedman, Maher, Yglesias, and on...
