The shittier the advice a columnist gives Democrats the bigger the platform they're handed to give it.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

Ezra Klein has been speaking a lot on red states and rural Democrats and here’s the thing…he shouldn’t. He has no idea what he’s talking about.

Is this good #mtpol

this shit would be a bit much for news anchors in Pyongyang

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

⚡️ Zelenskyy warns at the UN that AI-powered drones will soon strike targets without human control, posing a global threat as warfare races ahead of regulation.

the best way to earn the respect of political enemies who think you’re irredeemably immoral scum? well, have you to tried sacrificing your allies to them?

While people are suddenly and uncharacteristically paying attention to media regulation, please take a moment to notice all the massive harm Brendan Carr has done to consumer protection and public safety as well me, back in April:

Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or individual. Stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, granting the instigator plausible deniability for associated violence.

And (a fake) thank you Gov Gianforte for finding a way to regift the broadband money to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos #mtpol

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

I really shouldn't even use the word "abundance" to describe the former. I've found a lot of the abundance guys have no Earthly idea what they're talking about, which I discovered recently when they wandered into broadband policy without doing any research first:

There's real local good faith abundance, and then there's brunchlord "abundance," which is mostly an attempt to rebrand hollow Obama era deregulatory corporatism as something new, in order to undermine real progressive reform as the obvious answer to authoritarianism

‘misinformation' is bad info caused by errors or mistakes. What Joe Rogan is doing (and what Tr*mp and all his Repub/MAGA sycophants have been doing since 2016) is actually 'disinformation'—i.e., deliberately false info intended to manipulate public opinion, AKA propaganda.

'hahaha they arrested all the illeg- wait why is the plant shut down for a month and we're all furloughed without pay'

The president (45) and the GOP failed us. Conspiracy theories and politicization killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Homebuyers need to earn 80% more than 2020, per Zillow. Median income has risen 23% in that time.

The administration is killing millions of people intentionally

Holy cow I can't believe the state of Montana again found a way to funnel most of the broadband money to giant, out-of-state billionaires. Truly a bold act, ensuring Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos get a ton of Montana's internet infrastructure money AND a monopoly. #mtpol 🧵⬇️

Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

The GOP-controlled US government is promoting nicotine products. #mtpol

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

Here, fixed it.

you have hobos, tramps, drifters, vagabonds. all the major crimes.

a word

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation. They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t fall for it.
