This is a demonstration of how powerful the right wing misinformation machine is. They take a phrase or a word some Democrat said, attach the worst possible interpretation to it, and repeat their view of it THOUSANDS of times until even liberals remember it the way conservatives want them to.

I’ve heard Ezra now twice take one part of Hilary Clinton’s “deplorables” speech, without mentioning the rest of it, which does exactly what Ezra calls for Dems to do. I recognize that we have a politics of sound bits, but in full context the speech hits differently than he suggests.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

“Can the president tell what is real and what is not real” is a pretty simple and important question and I think the answer seems pretty clear

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

A guy has been standing downtown with a sign reading IS IT JUST ME OR IS THE PRESIDENT A TOTAL PUSSY?! and its astute simplicity is refreshing and really should catch on

Interesting information environment these miserable nazi dipshits created for themselves. Like, literally any video of himself trump sees could be spliced with an AI slop interlude of him saying absolutely wild shit and there's a good chance he'll repost it without even noticing.

Looking forward to primary season.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

grandpa has good days and bad days but increasingly it's only bad days. losing it. brains leaking out his ears.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

45 minutes ago at the Broadview, IL, ICE facility. (Video is about 30 min.) I am posting this to give us all hope. Everywhere in this country people, ordinary people just like you, are resisting the secret police who are vanishing people. Folks just like you. www.youtube.com/live/MWTa5r9...

Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

My theory is, they thought they could ride the Kirk stuff all the way home, they started all this final game fascist stuff rolling, and. They're too excited to stop it, even realizing the political capital went poof with Kimmel. Their blood got pumping and by God they're gonna try it

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.

Release the Earhart files!!! Fuck autocorrect wait wait wait

Never getting over the fact that the country has gone so fascist that it made Bill Kristol like this

Couldn't take Chicago, so he's going after Portland. Like a high school bully that got bodied by a wrestler so he tries to take it out on a theater kid. Pathetic.

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

I think we should also ridicule Miller here, not fear him. His fascist cosplay is absurd. He thinks tweeting in a clipped, military-sounding tone will frighten us. Oooo, he said "utilized"! Scary! Meanwhile their efforts to prosecute foes are imploding in buffoonery and Trump is polling in the 30s.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

Their feelings are very delicate

I am in fact not sure I have ever seen a dude who is literally rocking go harder than this this is the platonic ideal of dudes rock

Reminder that Trump's initial rationale for sending the troops in Portland was something he saw on TV

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

I understand everything is still terrible but pushing back works. I think proof of this is important.

NEW: When Mallory McMorrow conveyed her plans to run for Senate, DSCC asked her to hold off, per 3 sources. More calls, some staff level; same result. Per one source: “It was, ‘Can you wait a little longer, can you wait?’” McMorrow defied them and launched. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

this is the easy part! there’s no opposing counsel! the opposing counsel in the actual courtroom is going to be pat fucking fitzgerald! “they will eat shit at trial if it gets there” is the easiest prediction in the history of predictions

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

Well don't I feel stupid

I’m imagining us decades from now passing each other in the hall of our assisted living facilities en route to Mahjong saying “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!” and cackling as our confused Generation W caregivers look at each other in bafflement

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

This only happens to you once

If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

There is something extremely on-brand for this administration that the two likely outcomes are either: 1. Night of the Long Knives or 2. Hegseth further alienates subordinates by making them all centralize in dangerous breach of protocol just to lecture them about his jerkoff fantasy idea of war

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

This is a long clip, but I want you to see how BIG this New Yorkers Against ICE march was. At least two city blocks of people. You are not alone and we are going to win.

Can we talk about how incredibly pathetic this is?

who had "breathtakingly irresponsible ultimate apotheosis of 'this meeting could have been an email'" on their bingo card as an explanation, please collect your points

the ultimate "meeting that could've been a Signal group chat"
