Open Secret Alien

I'm just an antediluvian alien observer asking the local primates not to wipe themselves out while I'm still here.

👏STOP 👏VOTING 👏FOR 👏MOTHERFUCKERS 👏WHO 👏DON'T 👏KNOW 👏SHIT 👏ABOUT 👏SHIT!

Do they even understand how much they’re pissing people off by doing this. Whatever research that convinces them that spamming everyone is all upside is bullshit. It is like they’d rather have all my contact info to sell to other campaigns forever than receive my donation. It sucks.

I am now demanding that the US move to fully public funding of all elections because it means that ActBlue would be utterly destroyed.

"Pardon me, but we only wanted to be part of the surveillance state, not the police state."

the Real Misconduct is punishing misconduct, you see ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

yup.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

When people ask me how to get more affordable housing, I always start with: stop defunding public housing. It is basically the same principle: the government can provide in the marketplace a baseline that can lower price for entry-level access.

My Uber is here... . . . . I friggin' wish. The dumbass app says the estimated wait time is between 15 and 25 years.

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

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...

let’s make GORP happen

Thanks to @msmagazine.com for this thoughtful writeup of my book, which comes out on Tuesday. "The collateral damage of abortion restrictions is proving vast and pervasive."

We are in the middle of the constitutional crisis, of which wild unaffordablilty is the result. The President is making very random decisions—tariffs, budget, war—without any democratic accountability and it is tanking the economy.

I don't believe that "Liver for thee, prime rib for me!" is the winning electoral message that Bobby Brainworms believes it to be. 🫤

Fellas, if you really want to make your lady happy, you gotta take the time to find her fusebox and make that shit go *CHUNK*

A billionaire exploiting someone who's living out of their car to feed his own ego. Words fail, so let us instead speak through our actions.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Two University of Leicester students speak out over ‘absurd’ and ‘Orwellian’ decision by the BBC and ITV Studios to edit out pride pins worn on University Challenge

The anti-trans cultural war in the UK was never intended to end just with trans people. They will move onto homosexuals next. Then every other minority down the list until eventually they get to you, whoever you happen to be.

I was a guest on this week's On The Media to talk about El-Sayed and Tommy, and I'm not even going to pretend to be cool about it. Listen!!!

If being the victim oF SA automatically disqualifies women from office, men have quite the incentive to commit SA as a route to amassing power.

@marisakabas.bsky.social Congrats for winning the Investigative Scoop category in the Independent Media Awards! The rest of you, read the Handbasket! www.thehandbasket.co

my god I wish I could block him harder.

So ... All the Democrats need to do to win elections is turn their backs on the people who are screaming at them to, "DO SOMETHING!" in the face of constant horrors and then wait until those betrayed people vote them back into power. Matthew, do you even actually think about the things you say?

🧵I'm going to say this carefully -my heart aches for those now mourning -every unnecessary death is a tragedy -what did you expect from ppl at the sharp end of guns & bulldozers? -in early Oct, Israeli military+settlers killed 5 Palestinians in the WBank & 57 in Gaza—why isn't that "breaking news"?

Each and every single person you feed to the monster makes the monster stronger. I don't know how to say this any more clearly.

On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words. When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily." Subscribe to support our journalism.

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

if trans people's rights are up for debate, so are yours that's just how this fucking works guys

Man, We Are Not Freaked Out Enough By What The Feds Are Doing To Ilhan Omar www.wonkette.com/p/man-we-are... By Robyn Pennacchia @robynelyse.bsky.social

I keep on saying one simple thing: if Chief Justice Roberts keeps on nattering on about the President being the only person who fire anyone, then Congress has to embrace the Chicago Way: small claims impeachment.

To the few followers who actually read this, I think this new pfp really works for me; even if Greys weren't what you think at all.

As much as I joke about it: I want to defend Michelle Obama’s when they go low, we go high: she was simply noting Black women in public life cannot be angry without consequence. But what is also clear—Lisa Cook is a mild-mannered economist—for a set of people—black woman cannot be in public life.

It's quite a change from his approach earlier this year when he campaigned as Ralph Alvarado, the "MAHA Doctor" and "Triple Trump" candidate who will "ride roughshod over the woke left." www.youtube.com/watch?v=pogj...

In his newest TV ad, KY-6th District House candidate Ralph Alvarado says the "promise of America has been squandered by self-serving politicians in both parties. The American dream is unaffordable and unattainable for way too many." Doesn't mention his party affiliation (GOP). shorturl.at/X14PO

How in the fuck did they find out?

Every billionaire is a loose nuke.

So long story short, I can't share the recipe for jellied fuel on here. SO PLEASE CHECK OUT MY SUBSTACK (that I don't have)
