Everyone is dunking on Jennifer Welch for saying that Joe Biden paved the way to fascism, but I would like to dunk on her for pontificating about the Jan 6 Capitol attack and how one must be "crystal clear about what happened", while having done no homework and having understood nothing.

After all the drama abt this “new ad” Cenk Uyghur’s group was dropping in Michigan and how it was tied to Netanyahu starting Iran War … he just grabbed & tried to get more mileage from an ad he made for his failed 2024 prez run when he was blaming egg prices on Israel. See the date of the tweet.

AES “facing questions over whether his family is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood”—NBC Nightly News tonight, going all-in on Islamophobia to help Trump and Mike Rogers win Michigan. Beyond gross. This is like the third or fourth time Nightly has rehashed this story in the last 10 days.

Gandhi was the founding father of non-violence and Mandela to be blunt, never ordered anyone raped to death its a gross insult to both to compare them to a disgusting gang of druggie murder-rapists.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Some of my favorite old movies turn out to based on real people. #CheaperByTheDozen is on right now, but I watched SO GOES MY LOVE (1946) about some crazy 19th century inventor, from a memoir by his son, and it was delightful. ROUGHLY SPEAKING (1945) is another.

i know that this happens so often it is an easy target for jokes and ridicule but seriously how does this happen so often

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

Just to make this concrete: if I picked a grain of sand somewhere on the earth’s surface, and you went to a random location on the planet with a pair of tweezers and by sheer luck picked up that very grain of sand first try, that would be MORE statistically likely than Trump not being a rapist.

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

Also in regard to the post by OP, if you're looking at the 2026 Democratic Party and seeing a bunch of centrists scared of their own shadows you need your goddamn head examined.

Now their descendants refuse to believe their beloved family members could really be racist enough to immiserate the country, the entire planet, just to hurt black people worse. No, it's just rich people brainwashing, no way gutter bigotry is grandma's bedrock politics bsky.app/profile/mc-h...

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

1/ There's been a lot of chatter about rebuilding state capacity to make housing affordable, healthcare universal, and the economy fairer for all. We need to do the same in the realm of national security and defense. This seems to be the last place we need more public investment but hear me out 🧵:

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

Every accusation is of course an admission In fact, Bolsanaro allies did intimidate voters and just stopped public transport in cities so the poor masses leaning Lula have a hard time reaching voting stations At the same time, US oligarch Zuckerberg used Meta to throttle Lula and promote Bolsanaro

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

My friend Nicolette was at the POS computer and I wandered up to say hi. She said "turn around." Behind me were Malia and Sasha Obama and their grandmother Marian Robinson and some USSS officers trying to look inconspicuous. That was not the first and only time they visited.
