Unfortunately, unless you see this with your own 2 eyes in person, there’s no way to know whether or not this is real

It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

This from the guy who the Colorado Supreme Court found engaged in an insurrection:

If you watched this video and you agree with them (as I do), consider joining the DSA today! Let’s build a more equitable society that values people over money from the bottom up! socialists.nyc

YES!! I think about this all. the. time.

Treason this, treason that. She's a traitor, he's a traitor. Fun fact: Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution! 1/2

Good evening from Berlin! Reading this DHS tweet evokes something… why does it seem *SO* familiar???

I think it’s neat that Trump is showing us in real time why we no longer have absolute monarchs.

“The presidency huh. That must be interesting right now!” x1000

Uhhhh this cannot continue for 3 more years

parents freed a hummingbird from a skylight with a coleus flower attached to a pole

I know there's a lot of exhaustion following political news & a lot more damage can be done by the admin, but we're 10 months in, Trump's approval is cratering, he's a lame duck, and we're barreling towards *another* shutdown come the end of January. Dems better dream big & swing for the fences!

Can Ossé beat Jeffries? "An Ossé victory over Jeffries... would have the potential to realign the Democratic Party... A generational opportunity to strike while the iron is hot? Or a mirage that threatens to bitterly divide an otherwise ascendant left coalition?" www.michaellange.nyc/p/can-chi-os...

Do you think there’s a planet out there in the universe where sentient life created AI, then collapsed, & the algorithms keep going forever? Or will that be ours maybe?

Actually it’s more like

"russia is not possibly dumb enough to..." okay but are you sure. the people making decisions are insulated and face perverse incentives that have nothing to do with common sense or national security

Just want to thank folks contributing to the #psjminfo job status update section of the site. It's a small thing, but I know people appreciate knowing the status of jobs. www.politicalsciencejobs.org/status-updates

Same as Rush (who for some reason received the presidential medal of freedom). At the core of MAGA is: nothing but the pursuit of power. Why does that sound so familiar to me? 🤔

From our pronunciation workshop today 😵‍💫

This image blows my mind. Why is there something instead of nothing? How much life, potentially, exists within the galaxies in this picture? Are we alone? Is it wise to look?

Hill I will die on: Showing images of straight world leaders kissing is homophobic and I'm asking straight media to stop. It's boring and dangerous.

For the lower classes, we call this money laundering FYI

Oh ok cool cool

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

Disgusting. 🤮

The face of a man who knows he's chosen to go to hell

I'm loving this old Alfredissimo! show that airs here in Germany

OMG 😍😭

Got trapped in a conversation with a Serbian woman at the laundromat tonight. She was complaining about her kid's high school in German, but I only understood about 90% of where she said...

This is so awesome. I observed this anecdotally! A Muslim woman who works at the bodega told me her son convinced her to vote for Zohran and “we need change.” 💪💪

I think I’ve had just about enough of this!

Quite the read. The drip, drip, drip continues…

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

How dare the working class demand a living wage!!!

Defeat the fascists today, fight other fights tomorrow. Period.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

An absolutely fascinating read

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Classic NY Times: powerless underage victim is actually the scheming perp; much-older member of the US Congress is actually a passive victim

No war in Venezuela. Impeach Trump today!

This dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

This is about women and children as objects and tools and how abuse of them is not just tolerated and ignored but facilitated and celebrated.

The situation in the Situation Room being the presidential pedophilia coverup. And let’s not be silly — the Situation Room is not some kind of inviolable holy space.

Jesus Christ. This email was less than a month before Helsinki

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I cannot express the anger I have right now. If this is real, it means reporters ENABLED continued abuse of minors by not reporting it. The public deserves to know why.

Things seem to be moving FAST politically in US politics. It's hard to keep tabs on it personally due to being 6 hours ahead in a different time zone but also the corporate consolidation of media makes it challenging to know which outlets have the best breaking news.

Hear that grinding noise? It’s Boebert’s last 2 brain cells firing to reveal the obvious the rest of already understand
