I cannot emphasize enough how MAGA media treats it as an article of faith that estranged children are “selfish” and “ungrateful”. In reality, most of these adult children are trying to escape abuse or gaslighting or trauma. www.salon.com/2024/12/18/g...

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.

Look how fucking brazen the lies from Advance Colorado, the right wing dark money group are in this mail they're sending to Democrats. Every single claim on this mailer is the opposite. Every single one. They even use EQUITABLE to try to trick our DUMB WOKE ASSES into voting for their bullshit.

"We are not part of any political movement. And we are not attempting to further any political agenda." - says a right wing political operative in #SCOTUS robe who gutted voting rights, abortion rights, gave a Republican President king like powers in attempt to lock in right wing dominance. (1/2)

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

"Amendment 87, the Income Tax Fairness Act, cuts taxes for the 97% of Coloradans making less than $500k/year, including seniors, veterans, and small businesses and only raises taxes on wealthy individuals and large corporations to bring in an estimated $2bn/yr for healthcare, childcare and K-12."

gazette.comGUEST OPINION: Graduated tax pushes back on growing inequalityGraduated income taxes are far from radical. They’re used in 28 other states, including 11 red states. Colorado is the outlier as one of only 14 states that still uses a flat income tax.

remember every other lauren boebert scandal? they’re all tied back into this one! truly the sex scandal with something (and someone) for everyone

Caroleeena@caroleeena.bsky.social

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

I’m going to hold everyone’s hands when I say this, but Belief in UFOs/UAPs is a vestige of Cold War information politics and intelligence community obfuscation. The Pentagon is not spontaneously deciding to tell you “the truth.”

The Pentagon on Friday released a new group of files about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP or UFOs, including a batch of documents regarding a mysterious military program studying aerospace threats.

Make America healthy you say? So open up thousands more hospitals around the country especially in rural areas or towns where private equity is buying them up and stripping them for parts? Making care free for all? A big push to train and hire more doctors? No? Ah just the individualistic fash parts

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

ICE admitted in court that it did, in fact, track down this man at his hotel with his 7-year-old daughter and gave him a threatening letter because he sent ICE Director Todd Lyons this email.

This thread is amazing.

Herman Cain's last post before he died of ... wait for it ... COVID! The GOP is rewriting history. Covid tore through the world like a killing machine. 1.2 million Americans died. Stop pretending Dr. Fauci did anything other than his best to keep people alive. And release the Epstein Files!

This is absolutely insane, imagine if a progressive elected official was refusing to support Haley Stevens if she won! You’d never hear the end of it. Centrists are the ones who are dividing the Democratic Party with their Islamophobia and purity tests.

In an era of a fascist takeover, unlimited corruption, death squads waging war on American cities, aggressive wars of choice, endless war crimes, a child sex ring involving the president, etc, centrists are finally taking action: to attack the left. The only centrist goal is to suppress the left.

Adam H Johnson@ahjohnson.bsky.social

Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
