1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.
The contest for this country’s future is the MAGA Monoculture vs the American Multiculture.
And this clip shows the American Multiculture winning.
Abdul El Sayed is the American here. Not this Tommy character.
It’s an unpalatable truth, but Meta, TikTok, and hopefully it goes without saying, X, aren’t sustainable to rely on for political amplification, cultural promotion/marketing or community organizing. It’s long past time for new platforms/means and to move on.
When we take the house and senate, I think trump resigns due to "health concerns" before the first year is out. He will not be able to handle not being in control of the narrative and his brain will rapidly turn to mush (it already is!).
Buckle up for President Vance everyone because it is HAPPENING
“Sir, we are cratering in the polls, please try and not do anything nuts for the next month. Maybe on social, just keep it benign.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know. People like animals. A lot of people just post like cat videos and stuff.”
“Gotcha, say no more.”
It takes an evil village. If you got into power with charisma and affection for more power, fork-tongue lackeys will come to you with ideas how to preserve and increase this power in trade for some scraps of their own.
Latest WSJ poll:
"63% want to pause AI development
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
59% want Medicare for All
57% want a $20 minimum wage
58% want to end U.S. military aid to Israel"
This is the center of the country politically. it is time all adjust to this political spectrum, esp. media.
Personally, as a trans person who is a long-time WNBA fan, y'all gotta stop worrying about this.
There's nothing you can do about shitty people being shitty. Stand on business, defend trans people, don't let the bigots think they are normal or right or accepted. The rest is out of your control.
something i’ve been thinking about is whether or not there’s a way to rightfully condemn anti-trans comments by people with a public profile without elevating their celebrity/importance + serving them on a platter to the right wing media ecosystem. the cycle is painfully disturbing and predictable.
I was promised a big tent! All my buddies on the electoral hard-left & the democratic socialist left have been holding up our end of the bargain. So have the muscular liberals, the median dems, & even Joe Walsh! DSA joined No Kings!
Never Trumpers, get your side under control. This is embarrassing.
This story is crazy.
It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists.

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.
"If mainstream candidates don’t channel the people’s demand for a new direction, then the socialists will." More Democrats aren’t becoming socialists, they’re just really pissed. lnk.thebulwark.com/44aofSD
Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections.
In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million.
This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.
Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.
21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."
I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
i think boarding school teenage masculinity is a part of masculinity but not of manhood.
we have to get away from the concept of the opposite of "man" being "woman."
the opposite of "man" is "boy"
TESLA: A shitty company that loses money and makes bad cars that blow up.
TWITTER: A shitty platform that ruined civil discourse and loses money.
SPACEX: A shitty company whose rockets explode and only survived thanks to government welfare.
WALL STREET: "OMG! Elon Musk is a business genius!!!!!"
Comcast, Paramount, Disney, Warner Bros. news organizations are in on the game. The #BillioniaresForBallrooms Big-Media #EpsteinClass are united in cause and like in mind. Comcast didn't give Trump millions of dollars for his ballroom and Triumphal Arch for his smooth-talking. #DonnyDollars
The violent race riots in Belfast are exactly what Trump, JD Vance, and Fox News were trying to make happen to Haitians in Ohio during the campaign and what they wanted to happen to Somalis in Minneapolis as well
Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."
very noticeable that Trump is doing his exact rally speech in Wisconsin, only sitting. Almost like he's not able to stand for a long period of time right now and the "roundtable" (nobody has spoken other than him!) is a front
