Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Sorry, can't talk rn, too busy raging against the dying of the light

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

My Ayatollah don't want none Unless you've got buns, hun

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans. by Megyn Kelly

I keep beating this drum: the kind of people one thinks of as Silicon Valley "techbro" are so often finance people with an engineering cosplay habit, not actual technologists Elon Musk was famously *never* a good coder and I can't believe he ever scienced a rocket either. But he craves that respect

ChatGPT is poison. Jail EVERYONE associated with it.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Wow. We're such a great fucking country now.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Han Solo shilling for Jeep now. We've truly lost our way.

The world is getting to hear how mid and uninteresting Tom Brady is as an analyst. I swear he'd fail a Voight-Kampff test.

Matt Gaetz and Hunter Biden should team up and do a podcast or something.

For some reason the X-Men animated series theme fits perfectly with the Garfield and Friends intro.

I’m here,,, letz get this party started,!!

Deleted my lame little Twitter account, for what it's worth. Should have done it months ago.

until the day i die i will never understand how this wasn’t the end of it

for years scholars wondered how many toddlers you can run over with tanks before your country is considered "Bad" . probably about 4 million

Polls are not votes. The candidates are not deadlocked. There is no ahead or behind, even “with 72% of precincts reporting” on election night. The way elections work is they’re 0-0 all the way up until the votes are counted and then someone wins.

I’m the dad of a trans kid and this makes me want to grab a machete and avenge away

I'm here now. Whoopty shit.
