Spending more time on X makes one more right-wing. There is causal evidence of this!

A good example of how X drags normal-ish people into over-engaging with a far-right echo chamber is how a bunch of them are seriously discussing the "controversy" that there are non-white actors in The Odyssey as if anybody outside of the nazi website will ever give a shit or even think about it.

In strong competition with all of Nolan’s other films

“add to focus on ethical issues.”

The birth rate conversation is incredibly stupid because even if we all agreed that boosting birth rates is the most important goal, we have literally no idea how to do so, and everything that has thus far been tried in rich countries has completely failed

Sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees isn't some Kristof hallucination, it's been documented for years. No one is even attempting to refute this stuff, they're basically just saying that the allegations are so severe that they can't be true. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

they don't even WANT my vote anymore. they're straight up telling me to kick rocks every fucking day lately.

When a Democrat is president, the press only cares about the swing voters who oppose him. When a Republican is president, the press only cares about the conservative voters who support him.

Seriously, fuck this. I'm so sick of our profession's cowardice. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

the murder of juniper blessing is a horrifying reminder of the campaign of violence being waged by the most powerful against the vulnerable and the environment of hate being encouraged on all sides of the political spectrum

If you don't think Lupita Nyong'o could be Helen of Troy then I simply do not believe you have ever seen Lupita Nyong'o

144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to vote for this bill which gives DHS and ICE new powers to collect personal information of both migrants and American citizens

compare and contrast: when IDF soldiers were caught on tape raping a Palestinian captive at Sde Teiman prison and prosecuted, Israeli civilians rioted outside the court and all charges were eventually dropped

They're letting the six genders out of the insane asylums

Sometimes I think about what Aaron Rupar's life must be like and get hit with a wave of dread. The guy just wakes up every single day and watches like 11 straight hours of Trump speaking and/or broadcast news coverage. It's like a Darren Aronofsky film. Nightmare.

This is the right thing to do, obviously, but god it's bleak that this may very well end up with less Black representation in the South AND throughout the rest of the country as the districts get carved up

Even worse, Jared Golden was a cosponsor on the bill!

My dog when I walk in

There is still a general implicit belief that SCOTUS justices have a level of intelligence and maturity. Here Alito is saying "this shadow docket thing we've been using constantly for the past year to enact conservative rulings is unfair because I don't like this one." They are fucking children.

Mentions of child casualties in Ukraine compared to Gaza from CNN and MSNBC

This is what political books used to be like

I am old enough to remember when Joe Biden formed a commission to study Supreme Court reform which led to.... the 2024 Kamala Harris campaign proposing a commission to study Supreme Court reform

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to vote for this bill which gives DHS and ICE new powers to collect personal information of both migrants and American citizens

13.1% of credit card balances, 10.3% of student loan balances, and 5.6% of car loan balances are more than 90 days delinquent

South Carolina Republicans will proceed with passing a new congressional gerrymander despite it seeming to fail on Tuesday. Their proposed map below (right) would eliminate the only Black Dem to elect a 7-0 (white) Republican majority. Interactive map+data davesredistricting.org/join/c701dd1...

This may be the worse thumbnail I have ever seen

Donald Trump is legitimately going to leave the presidency like $15 billion richer than he entered it

An October 2025 poll by Movement Advancement Project showed that about 1 in 10 trans people moved in the previous year, and 43% considered it

If you are Mallory McMorrow, I am not sure what you want is people learning MORE about Abdul El-Sayed's background, which is a genuinely impressive commitment to the public good that you rarely see in politics

brutal meme via the official Democratic Party X account

One of the big unintended consequences from the gerrymandering race to the bottom of that if a president has no members from their party in a given state, they have no reason to devote resources to that state.

watching one Robert Altman movie all way through without their phone would send these people into a full-on dissociative coma

Let's see if these guys can crack 1,000 views

If all of the gamblers stayed at the casino we could collectively beat the house

Democrats should of course fight fire with fire and gerrymander as much as they can, but this feels like a long term disaster for the national project, to the extent we still have one

It would seem strange for there to be a "2000 year old religious war" when one of those religions is less than 1500 years old

Atlas Intel, the most accurate pollster in 2020 and 2024, has Democrats up 14.5% on the generic ballot

It is pretty wild to see Zionists freak out about this article when, in 2024, there was a large "right to rape" protest in Israel. The protest succeeded in making the prosecution drop charges, and one of the perpetrators is now a star on Israeli reality TV.

This is why everyone should read @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social. Administrative burdens are policy mechanisms.

It's official. All of the wage gains of the least year have been eaten up by inflation.

Today at The Intercept, we’re publishing seven statistical findings by @ahjohnson.bsky.social that prove the U.S. media’s bias against Palestinians. 🧵

Dems and mainstream media are trapped in a doom loop. When objectively scandalous things happen, the media waits for Dems to treat them as scandals and Dems wait for the media to treat them as scandals. Eventually everyone just moves on.

It would be quite a remarkable coincidence if CNN got fed an "exclusive" report three years after the fact that just so happened to come less than 24 hours after the Kristof column

The entire global economy is being held up by the belief that the Strait of Hormuz will be open by June

How many times do these people have to be Charlie Brown kicking the football before they get embarrassed?

I don’t want to be a doomer for those trying to talk themselves into hope, but this is a party that just let the courts dog walk them on student loans. It’s a party that can’t even say no to genocide. They have shown zero indication they have any interest in fighting for structural change.
