need to print this out and mail it to every legislator (related: do they still do those posterboards of tweets in Congress or no? feels like I haven't seen those in a sec)

I love this text post so I drew it

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

BREAKING: Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel. Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people don’t want this war.

Here’s a little run down of all the shit Trump’s done to the US military: He’s allegedly called them suckers and losers, he never pressed Putin about allegations of bounties placed upon US troops, he didn’t go to a memorial in France because of the rain, he ordered the NG and the marines up to…

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Every nonbinary rose has its þ.

this was too much to copy and paste so i had to screenshot but this is scary stuff init

Like Anti Trust, like curbs on the 2nd Amendment(Bazooka) I feel using mass media to intentionally lie to the American public for Political Gain is NOT free speech under the 1st Amendment. The Greedy Rich always whine how restrictions on them ownng everything is Unconstitutional. Money is NOT speech

Read the thread. Important discussion of Petrodollars and military action.

It's 1990, and I'm protesting no blood for oil. It's 2001, and I'm protesting no blood for oil. I'll be doing this protest for 20+ years. Its 2026, and I'm still protesting no blood for oil. The amount of money spent in wars world wide could have been spent ending oil dependence.

New emails suggest Trump made 'insulting' bid to fund Epstein-linked modeling 'project'. Keep in mind: Melania was working with a modeling agency connected to Epstein. Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. Trump married Melania in 2005.

Americans need to understand just how bad it’s going to get when trump’s court makes the 14th amendment null and void. They’ll let him personally revoke the citizenship of anyone he doesn’t like, which then allows his minions in ICE to imprison them, even deport them. It’s going to get so bad.

Good update of the "poverty line" that was set back in 1963 and has not kept up with reality.

10 years ago, I wanted more nuclear power to ease off fossil fuels. Today, we are finally getting it. But solar/wind have become better options and it's only so oligarchs can power the plagiarizing liar machines to erode trust in our senses.

Redcaps: "Communists will destroy our way of life!" Mamdani: "I want to destroy oligarchy, hate, poverty, and violence!" Redcaps: "Exactly! That's our way of life!"

I love the idea that we can't call it socialism because it scares people. it's like when I tell toddlers my ice cream is spicy so they won't want to eat it.

🎵Take me out to the ballroom Decorate it in gold Find me some donors with lots of cash I don't care if the East Wing gets smashed Let me loot loot loot the taxpayers And spread around doom and gloom For it's 1, 2, 3 terms I'll spend In my new ballroom! 🎵

How far we have fallen that even Reagan, the cause of most of modern America's ails, was still smarter and savvier than Trump is today.

Just gone. And no one will stop him. He's doing this to the whole country and no one will stop him.

If you don't want me to take an hour long dissociative shower to stare at the void, then don't create a world with no future.

So 7 million people march against America's would be king. Then he posts a slop video of himself as king (and what a big boy in that fighter jet!) literally shitting on Americans. Then immediately demolition begins of the White House to make room for his ball room. Do I have that right?

Some work still to do, shall we say.

A disturbed man and his fanatical advisors are making potentially life-threatening decisions on the basis of what he sees on television. We should all be very concerned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-trump-gets-and-processes-information

Democrats are pretty good at fixing things Republicans break but they are terrible at getting credit for it. Which keeps the cycle going.

What amazes me is how BAD he is at EVERYTHING! He's worth infinite dollars and is the most powerful man in the world. And he hides a bruise with a paint sample. No blending at all. No attempt to match skin tone. No one to help him apply it. It would be LESS obvious to just to nothing at all!

As people get into false romance with LLMs, I am left thinking that a parasocial relationship with a chatbot is emotional masturbation. "If you [emotionally] masturbate, you will go blind [to reality]." -moms in the future

In a near future where we need to check whether humans are bots: Woman on a date: "Say something negative about techbro oligarchs." Man: "I think Elon is probably going to save humanity. He's a real life Tony Stark, you know?" Woman, pulling out a gun: "Maybe you're not a skinjob. Either way..."

They are removing part of the Constitution from the Congressional website. Article I sections 8 (partial) and 9-10 (entire) have been removed. web.archive.org/web/diff/202...

Makes me think of that.... I don't know what it is. Warhammer? 🤷‍♂️ The thing where Orcs have "technology" that works because they *believe* it will work. This is a hype-based economy: It doesn't produce anything, and in fact destroys things, but it generates revenue because they believe it will.

This clip aged like fine wine.

Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, will turn 25 in September. It will soon be too old to date Leo DiCaprio and has only had 35 launches in that time.

Trump has an answer for everyone in the political spectrum regarding the Epstein List... of course his actions will be to hide it no matter what he claims.

Note: The Good Place Committee is not supposed to be the example of a functional liberal political party. If your left-leaning party looks like them, the party is broken.

Tariffs solve everything. Trade deficit? Tariffs. Budget deficit? Tariffs. Bad press? Tariffs. Approval numbers? Tariffs. Crime rates? Tariffs. No healthcare plan? Tariffs? Hangnail? Tariffs. Melania won't touch you? Tariffs. Retaliatory tariffs? Tariffs. Too many tariffs? Did I stutter?

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

Instead of their older mix of anti-labor Dixiecrats and northern liberals, Democrats have shifted significantly left in the last generation to fit comfortably in the same political family as socialist-oriented parties in Europe. /1 nathannewman.substack.com/p/the-democr...

It’s not alligator Alcatraz, because Alcatraz had due process. Alligator Auschwitz is a more accurate description, because it’s a fucking concentration camp.

Oh man, when the small government libertarian “keep the fed out of my life” pundits hear that the executive branch wants to digitally track our movements there’s gonna be hell to pay!
