Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

I’m suddenly getting multiple followers in a 24-hour period during which I haven’t posted anything. Is one of my response-skeets from ages ago getting new traction, or am I just getting bots attached to me?

This is the master key to deciphering contemporary debates about free speech. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/se...

There seems to be a widespread belief on here that the expressed position “trans people should have their GAC covered with the sole exception that some surgical procedures should be performed at 18 rather than 16 or 17” means someone “wants trans people dead” and no, that isn’t what that means

It’s alarming how much influence Hasan Piker may potentially one day have in the Democratic Party. by Laura Loomer, Nick Fuentes, David Duke, Thomas Rousseau, James Fishback, and Alex Jones

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

"Yes, I'm still patronizing the social media site run by the white nationalist billionaire who vocally supports murdering immigrants, but you see, I have to go there for news about this minor league baseball team I like. I have no choice. I'm powerless here."

LMAOOOOOOOOOO somebody finally asked the transphobes if they know any WNBA players besides and NOPE

Opened Facebook and the very first post the Algo offers me is Libs of TikTok. I’ve been in denial about how bad Zuck fucked the website for a long time, but that’s gonna be the last straw.

I don't think there should be a defibrilator on Snowdon. And that's a hill I'm prepared to die on

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

While Democrats continue to read polls and ruminate over slide decks, the vilified street protests are doing their work for them, writes @cnewman.bsky.social.

No, No, no. Look, are there lessons to learn from this debacle? Sure. Drone warfare, mag depth, etc. But the solution here is not 'yet more tactical excellence or tech.' It is 'the president asked the impossible of the military and they should have said so.' www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I think there is a direct relationship between punishing people for mourning George Floyd and punishing people for not mourning Charlie Kirk.

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

Right now MAGA Republicans are not mourning Charlie Kirk, they are not condemning gun violence, they are not admitting they created the monster that was Charlie or the access to the gun that killed him. What they are doing is strategizing how to benefit from his death.

Are tax refund delays a thing now? We filed a month ago and got our state refund almost immediately, but still no money from the feds. Are we getting held up in particular or is everyone getting equally screwed by DOGE fuckery?

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

No but seriously @wotc-news.bsky.social I wanna read the fanfic.

In effectively a single blink of the historical eye, we’ve seen our entire constitutional system simply … stop. We can clearly see what’s happening is wrong—illegal and unconstitutional—and the actors who can do something about that just … aren’t. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-s-...

Trump’s attack on Schumer is antisemitic and racist. He’s policing Jewish identity, invoking the dual loyalty trope, and implying Palestinians are inherently evil. This is dangerous incitement. Jewish groups must say it clearly: the President is spreading hate and weaponizing antisemitism.

Our statement on the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist and Columbia University student protest leader, Mahmoud Khalil:

The US market is tanking, but Russian stocks are soaring. Heres why that’s bad news for Joe Biden.

In an editorial decrying Trumpists' attacks on speech, the #BrokenTimes can't resist its insidious bothsidesing "the censorial strains of the left." No, criticism is not censorship. Book and DEI bans are censorial fascism. The MAGA War on Speech www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The only pathway to true Jewish safety is solidarity with other groups targeted for violence and repression by Nazis: trans and queer people, immigrants, Black people… and, let’s be extremely clear, definitely Palestinians. We keep us safe. Musk, Netanyahu and Greenblatt only endanger us. 5/5

The madness of being a reasonably observant Democrat is seeing, every single cycle, the same people say “I would simply [do the thing we did last cycle],” and then when it doesn’t work, get mad, because they must not have done the thing. What if… your ideas about how this all works are just bad

New: I wrote about how the country's most prominent Jewish organization against antisemitism hasn't said a word about Trump alleging "Hitler did some good things," and the media failure to give this terrifying declaration the attention it deserves.

I don’t know what is going to happen but one reason I am pessimistic about Harris’ chances is that a former Trump chief of staff saying the president praised Hitler doesn’t make the front pages, except maybe as an aside in a bigger story framed as a partisan attack by his rival

My latest. I have been hesitant to write about this topic for a while. Such writing is both easily exploitable by propagandists and easily dismissed. But as I'm seeing what's happening on X and beyond, the issue is urgent and we need to talk about it. And it needs to be progressives discussing it.

I assumed this was clickbait. It’s not.

So if it wasn't completely obvious back then, the Olympic boxing scandal was basically a kremlin op. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/...

Reminder that what Israel is doing is being driven by a prime minister who has been indicted, who knows that he is ousted the second Israel goes out of crisis mode. He is going scorched earth on an entire population of human beings in part bc he is panicked and out of ideas.

Great thread.

Remember, if a Dem state attorney general prosecutes Trump for crimes done in their jurisdiction, that’s wrong because then they’re not personally out preventing other crimes. But if a GOP state AG wants to cape for Musk despite having absolutely no ties to the case? Well, that’s right and just.

to be clear the head of the ADL is cool with you literally supporting Hitler as long as you’re mean to Palestinians too

Tchaikovsky was a homosexual and Santa's not real, hope that helps

Despite everything – from antisemitism to his history of attacking the outlet – The New York Times plans an event with Elon Musk
