Not Even

so, uh, how we all doin

This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

“Pheum! Right into the third grade classroom of a girls elementary school.”

New Democratic TV ad just dropped:

anyway i have my issues with this place but the reason i’m not on X — and prefer here to there — is that i’m a bit too humorless to want to have to deal with being called a “nigger” every time i want to say something

A few simple steps can drastically decrease the amount of personal information that’s available about you online. ssd.eff.org/module/how-...

i say let them do it. if i were a senate democrat i would relish the opportunity to let the country know that republicans don't think you should vote if you are a married woman www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

Why should we even have humans?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

even the democratic consultants are evaluating the democratic party according to the caricatures put out by republican-aligned media

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

As Chancellor Hitler ramps up efforts to send federal officers and troops into the Sudetenland under his Lebensraum policy, urban planners are watching closely. Are the feds doing this in a smart way?

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

timeline cleanse, sound on

“If you call us fascists, we’re going to put you behind bars.”

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there? Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff." You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

A good illustration of how traditional journalistic neutrality runs into trouble with Trump, these people are required to live in a Trumpist halluciniation that demands they invent and believe total fictions to remain in good standing bsky.app/profile/mmas...

Free speech is genuinely precious, the “free speech” debate (“it should be illegal for libs to be mean to me”) was just about destigmatizing bigotry and confusing the issue so as to provide a pretext for actual state censorship

I still can't believe a large segment of Red America looks at this pampered crybaby, slathered in orange makeup with his cotton candy combover, doing his little dances to the Village People and going on endlessly about his passion for interior decorating, and thinks "now *that* is an Alpha Male"

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

These deaths are a real feather in the cap of Brian Kilmeade and Fox News.

I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis. Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget. Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.

I TOO WOULD LIKE TO YELL ABOUT MANY THINGS

I think he experienced shame as a child and his whole persona is in an effort to quash that feeling down still, continously, forever. Let these angry people rip that open for him again!

yeah man, institutionalized racism is when you try to recruit poor kids and black kids to get an education. great work. you are definitely not a dipshit who gets on the internet to say nonsense to make up for the fact that you have nothing but your own resentments to get you through the day

Michael Roth at Heterodox. 👏👏👏

@cantb.bsky.social on the federal government forcing UVA's president to resign. (Inside Higher Ed)

uh oh feeling that horrible "hope" other people have once described

Big Balls Bounced

“Back then we had dumb presidents” but now we have President Sundown McBrainfart

The concept of sexual harassment has endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor.

They do the same thing with celebrity. Ultimately modern populists are just frustrated elitists. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Props to the batter who can crank a baby out of the stadium.

ACLU’s Know Your Rights library has great resources for people planning to protest this weekend: www.aclu.org/know-yo... Stopped by Police: www.aclu.org/know-yo... Protestors’ Rights: www.aclu.org/know-yo... Be safe out there.

I can hear Chuck Schumer angrily sharpening his pencil.

I have a lot of things to say about this but they're best expressed by the following: lol. Also, potentially, lmao.

JoJo Rabbit is a fantastic movie

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.
