Found the perfect screengrab to use the next time someone tries to tell me I’m missing out on important discourse by not using Elon Musk’s mircoblog site

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Renewables are inevitable.

Renewables are now the world's largest source of electricity – and the main source of new supplies

Not a single prominent Republican will respond to the most basic gutter racism coming from the leader of their party.

The suburban observers, heavily women, say they share a personality type. “Many of us have encountered bullies our entire lives...I think that turns you into somebody that, even if that bully is wearing full tactical gear, I'm not interested in laying down for you.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."

"The president's masked thugs have now executed two U.S. citizens in broad daylight on the streets of Minneapolis."

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Minneapolis.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

For my millennials: if you start Death Cab's The New Year at 11:59:10 it will sync up perfectly.

Wins like today are important in the fight against an authoritarian regime. They expose the state. They remind people that they should stand up and fight back. They inject some faith back into institutions. They push back against the zero sum thinking that can doom resistance.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Eagles fans going to be especially insufferable this week. Go Birds 🦅

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

Stunning that we're still doing this.

The only reason to end suicide prevention efforts designed for a specific vulnerable group of people is indifference to more of them committing suicide.

@fetterman.senate.gov you deserve this.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

[Karoline Leavitt saying the Librarian of Congress was fired for having books in the library] Wow that's the worst thing I've ever seen *refreshes feed* [The mayor of Newark is being held at an unspecified facility] Wow that's the worst thing I've ever seen

I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD." Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience. Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

@trumpgolftrack.com Can update the site with the Easter golfing with Saquon Barkley?

Many people are saying it #abolishice

This is horrifying and devastating news. Virginia was hounded and harassed by tabloids, a prominent Substack writer, and lawyers who sought to undermine her allegations. Others ignored her in their jokes and conspiracies about her abusers. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Marine Le Pen has learned her lesson. by Susan Collins

It's always been 100% projection.

This is white supremacist, great replacement Nazi shit coming out of the mouth of the U.S. vice president.

must rock being a cybertruck guy. every time you pull up it’s like beep beep make way for the Ambassador of Divorce

I've been beaten into a state of not caring how corny I sound. Kindness is love and love is the only thing that matters. Be kind to people. Also listen to CDs

What it's all about: kiss the ring.

Rape and support for rapists are now key aspects of U.S federal government policy. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

Lol

and fwiw, there is a pretty easy path to feeling like a "hero" if a given man wants to take it — it is being a responsible member of your community, a provider for your family and being a good role model for the younger men around you.
