I think we're gonna have to take a cue from Germany post WW2 after this. I'm ready to carve out a 1A exception for maga hate speech. Treat it like Nazi propaganda in Germany. Throw those fuckers in jail. Never ever ever allow them to metastasize unchecked again.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

i don't give a rat's ass what matt yglesias has to say

They don’t want to confront the rank racism that lies at the heart of today’s Republican Party and pretending that black voters are drifting away from Democrats and flirting with the GOP is an essential part of that.

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

Fascism appears to be 0-2 in recent elections. Can USA keep the shutout going? I really really REALLY hope so, as step 1 of 50 in penance. Steps 2-35ish MUST involve actual SIGNIFICANT consequences for the criminal fascists doing their private and public crimes, regardless of who they are.

As a bonus to this bit of good and just schadenfreude, I also learned a new word today: revanchist

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

“.. a stunning comeback, sealed late as voters in Lula’s northeastern stronghold rallied behind one of Latin America’s most prominent opponents of Trumpism.” @bloomberg.com 🇧🇷 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We didn’t expect him to be President twice. Please don’t be Cocky and overconfident we will win. People are acting like it is a done deal. It is not.

This post 6 months ago should have ended support for Trump among Christians, but far too many of them don't mind blasphemy if it comes with a side order of racism and sexism.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

No one riots quite like the French.

This is very, very cool.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

My god that man is an idiot.

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

There's a scenario in which the Supreme Court gets this case in December and three justices involved in Bush v. Gore on behalf of Bush will be asked whether confusion is grounds to reject election results.

Republicans have long made a major issue that George Soros has been a donor to Democrats, spinning insane lies about him to make that a bad thing Elon Musk is a *much* bigger donor to Republicans and there's no need to invent lies about him. Just tell the truth about the evil shit he says and does

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

RIP Ron Duguay. Sad we won't see him around the garden anymore. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. #nyr #nyrangers

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Ossoff: "In my view, based upon the evidence I've seen thus far, the president's misconduct, abuse of power, and corruption, already exceed any prior standard for impeachment."

I'm really glad to see folks outside of my nerdy corner of the world highlighting the way Trump may be using Venezuela to create a self-funding Pentagon. Trump's effort flies in the face of the key reason Congress has the power of the purse -- to keep the executive from self-funding the military.

Read every word of this and share it.

The era of "presumption of regularity" should have ended (for this administration) a year ago at least.

Abolish ICE.

So completely insane it's gone and looped completely around the insanity scale and STILL ended up landing back in the "insane" range.

🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

It’s long past time for the U.S. to get a new president.

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed
