I’ll never understand why some ppl don’t clean the dryer’s lint screen when doing laundry. It’s the only satisfying part of the laundry process. It’s tangible. I can see the fruits of my labor in hand: a wad of lint & cat hair that I’m no longer carrying on my clothing or breathing into my nostrils.

Exactly. It was all performance designed to drive...fundraising. Not to rally opposition. Not to shame Republicans into changing their votes. Not to finally unite the party against Trump. It was just to line their pockets. This isn't just stupidity; its outright fraud. Primary. Everyone.

As soon as he sat down two different PAC's sent me fundraising texts about Hakeem Jeffries "record breaking" House floor speech. The Republicans passed this monstrous bill less than an hour later. I deleted and blocked both of them. What a feckless bunch of idiots.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party. Sign up for a Zoom call with me: www.saikat.us

Yesssss

I hope Leticia James has a long career in NY politics. 🔥

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

If the billionaires and sex predators are afraid of your campaign, you're doing something right.

Trump is now bombing Iran. Here are multiple clips of Trump campaigning against endless wars, Middle East conflicts, and boasting that he will stop World War III.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

SpaceX is such a great demonstration of how privatization works. You take something that is best done by a public institution, let some random rich guy tinker with it, and then watch it all burst into flames.

We're paying consultants millions of dollars to design a trash can. It's time to build up our public capacity again.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

I’m trying not to have too much hope that this man wins the Democratic Primary. 🤞🏻

Evangelicals should be listed as a terrorist organization .

This is the most spot on, easy description of our government I've seen

Cuomo's improper coordination with a MAGA-backed super PAC just cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching funds — just a month after his campaign failed to follow basic filling instructions. We don't need another Mayor who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

The @nytimes.com mapped donations from every neighborhood across the city in the mayor’s race — what they found was astonishing. Not only do we have the most individual donors in the race, they come from neighborhoods across each of the five boroughs. This movement is citywide.

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

stephen miller is 39 years old. but he looks like he spent the last 56 years sleeping in a coffin in a cave in argentina until he was disturbed by a rock slide at the secret nazi cemetery

Just incredible

When does the winning start?

They have the shittiest, most transparent ragtag team of propagandists and their bullshit still dupes ppl because the US government has spent the last 45 years making sure kids grew up dumb and religiously indoctrinated.

Maddening that somehow education and knowledge could have prevented all of this.

Exactly.

I agree. Othering and dividing amongst ourselves for decades has been the agenda, and playing into it only weakens our base. We don't have to agree, hell we don't even have to like each other, but we do have to band together. This isn't left or right, this is the bottom versus the top. Simple.

Time to start questioning those who were duped. Hating them helps no one. We must WAKE THEM UP #RiseUp #FDT

Donald Trump is auctioning off presidential face time to the biggest investors in his personal crypto coin scheme and using the White House for personal profit. Despicable. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.
