Trai... so tired of billionaires

One takeaway i got from Regime Change is Maggie and Swan have to pretend he's lucid, because if he's not in charge, their narrative and therefore the value of their access collapses.

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

In Maryland, just 50 miles from DC, a sheriff has relentlessly targeted local immigrants for over 20 years. He is running for reelection next week in a county that went for Harris over Trump. Make sure to share story: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

broke a man the first time i told him this. He came up to me and said "I just don't like tattoos" and I said "well, I'm not trying to have sex with You" and I saw something permanently rotate inside him

David Axelrod is part of dying breed of "collegial" democrats that played nice on and off TV. His brand of politics is over, he just don't know it yet. Fuck that dinosaur.

As kids we were sold an idea of American independence, as if we were born with a fierce, rugged spirit that makes us stand alone. In truth, we've always depended on our neighbors and allies, and we are at our strongest when we stand with them.

Paid protester.

If Republicans are crushed at the ballot box, it will also make both members of Congress and actors at state levels way less likely to assist Trump’s efforts to thwart the results for fear of the public’s wrath.

More like this please

Guys it’s 2026 can we please stop falling for his BS.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs

"shouldn't be this hard" is an all-encompassing, feel-it-in-your-bones summary of modern American life -- of difficulties big and small, existential and annoying -- that should be at the core of every Democratic candidate's message for years to come.

We need to make Stephen Miller's nightmares come true. Jot that down as a platform plank.

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it

They're going to kill us all to build a beach resort.

Ai art devalues art in the mind of the ai enthusiast. They think "I can make this using this 'tool.' It's not hard." and they come away with the idea that creativity is just a matter of tools and not effort.

If you were ever targeted by the Gamergate horde from 2024 onward, I'd love to talk to you briefly for a short section in my book! Reply, DM me, or email me at alyssamerc@gmail.com. Signal boost!!

We can and we must build more homes for all of us.

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡

The real reason MAGAs hate Rep Omar is because her success exposes their failures.

Really unpopular things: -data centers -overt bigotry -CSAM -billionaires trying to buy elections -Hitler salutes -stealing people’s personal data -South African Apartheid -causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of children Fighting against Elon Musk is a political winner

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

"If they don't want to be called nazis they should stop doing nazi shit, and the media should ask themselves why heated language bothers them more than nazi shit."

Don’t throw trans people under the bus. It’s not hard. It’s also such a clear litmus test.

I feel so angry for the trans folks living in places where the Dem candidate running has echoed anti-trans shit. Just despicable.

David Brooks, my advice to him is keep John Ossoff's name out of your mouth. You're outmatched, outclassed, and you'll get eaten for lunch. One must wonder why Brooks is so keen to criticize Dems on the grounds of decency, while his own party slides further and further into the muck. 🤔

"I don't like your question, but here are my talking points anyway."

I'll take "Things that will never happen" for $500, Alex.

Gotta divide it all right in two.

A rebuke is not accountability. If the law doesn't apply equally to everyone (including those working in law enforcement) then we are not a nation of laws.

Holy shit.

There are so many climate policy conversations in so many places around the world on "pragmatism", "realism", "compromise" etc How many of them include this end of the equation?
