trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

Lot of politicians can learn from how clear and unwavering Mamdani is here, but the big takeaway here is that the guy said "I am in support of abolishing ICE" and the audience of a THE VIEW taping immediately applauded. Don't need a clearer sign that it's a mainstream opinion you can campaign on.

"The collective wealth of billionaires last year surged by $3.5 trillion ... enough to eradicate extreme poverty 26 times over."

The problem was not labeling Trump correctly as a fascist. The problem was not treating him as one. They still aren’t! That creates a gap where you’re warning people that things are on fire, but instead of evacuating or getting water, you’re casually sitting down with a cup of tea.

It's the Karen presidency. Everything going on is because one dumb old asshole didn't get his way and now it's everyone's problem

"Democratic registered voters are far more motivated right now than Republicans. While the party has a 5-point edge on the generic ballot, among those who say they’re deeply motivated to vote, that advantage expands to a massive 16 points." www.cnn.com/2026/01/18/p...

I feel like this pretty much sums up the rot at the core of American civic life as a whole. “Hold the fuck up, cowboy. I signed up for the great power, not the great responsibility when I signed up for the church/media/government/think tank complex/etc.”

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

There is no need for ice to exist. If an immigrant is a criminal they’ll be apprehended via normal law enforcement agencies. Other than that, let them go through USCIS.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

*record scratch* yup, that's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation. well im a big piece of shit

the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

the last year has been one long exercise in finding out who has principles and who is a spineless worm fit only to wriggle in the dirt.

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Young Voters Matter More Than You Think 🧵 (1/7) The conventional wisdom that seniors matter most because they have the highest turnout is wrong. Strategically, young voters are the most important age group for Democrats. (Prescient must-read article from Feb. 2023 by the Brookings Institution 👇)

“why are you still on twitter” -> whiny, makes you sound like a scold “oh you post on the pedophile app” -> makes them sound like a pedophile

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

@theo.io Hello. Did you build this Bluesky Network Analyzer? I think it's a very cool idea, and I'd love to use it, but it isn't working for me. Is it still operating? Or is there a new version somewhere? Thanks!

tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (i’m scared of computer)

"its not clear what kind of move I was trying to do" is one of my all time favorite tweets, but as a public service I share this tumblr collection of the entire 26-tweet reply chain it was part of (courtesy of haywire4) www.tumblr.com/haywire4/173...

the last decade of the tech industry and America

They should raise taxes on billionaires the way Charlie Sheen’s drug dealer cut his crack weaker and weaker each time, it’ll take them so long to notice and eventually they’ll be weaned off having billions of dollars

Forget it Jake, it’s giving Chinatown

2026 PIN number sounding ass year. That's my freaking PIN number

I don’t trust any billionaire whose sense of morality and values depend on who is nice to them online because my sense of morality and values don’t depend on that bullshit and I’m broke as hell

elf on the shelf idea- kill him off and spend the rest of the month telling your kids they have to solve his murder

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

Gift shopping for loved ones can be demoralizing because it's oh, you love them? Name literally anything they would like.

no. next question please

This administration has been like if Christian Rock became president and Christian Movies became vice president and they’re always on tv shouting CHRISTIAN ROCK IS BIGGER, BETTER and more POPULAR than REGULAR ROCK! THIS IS MAINSTREAM CULTURE NOW! and it just keeps being not true but they won’t stop.

“try to avoid snacking after dinner” okay then I will starve to death in the night. good bye

why aren't they throwing bread at me. what do the ducks have that i do not

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

bluesky wrapped but it's how many meaningless arguments you got into. and also your win/loss ratio

Who among us

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Every YouTube comment under a song is either “who’s here in 2025!” Or “this reminds me of the day my house burned down with everyone inside”

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.
