The Biden DOJ had a perfectly legal avenue to release this to the public—a response to a FOIA request. They may have even been legally obligated to produce it in response to the FOIA request. And they decided not to, to protect Donald Trump’s reputation? What?

Instant all-timer here:

I’m 250 paid subscribers away from a major goal. Think we can get there tonight? www.thehandbasket.co/upgrade

Funny how everything has only gotten worse with the introduction of AI and whatever cost savings it's created, if any, never gets passed on to consumers. Everything is just worse for everyone but shareholders.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple: there is enough. there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe. once you accept that there's only one question: why don't we?

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

This INFURIATES me, and this is what us survivor advocates have been saying for years. Keeping local police and ICE separate is a domestic violence issue. Victims won’t call the police if they fear deportation, which emboldens their abusers and escalates risk. This isn’t public safety.

I think this is true, which is why you can expect a full-on assault on ranked choice from both major parties over the next year-plus. They'll frame it as "your vote doesn't count in ranked choice," which won't be true or make sense, but when has that stopped any of them

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

White Moderates and the Democratic Party that represents them have never actually been interested in fixing the problems that brought us American fascism they have been more interested in holding power and doing nothing else in place of actually trying to fix the systemic issues that brought us here

We have the first wave of returns from New York City—this includes early votes, and the mail votes. Mamdani: 43% Cuomo: 34% Lander: 13% Everyone else under 5% This is with 410K ballots counted.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Having a send from Kirsten Gillibrand while she’s rolling over to serial sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo is certainly a choice by EMILYs List. Not one I would make, personally!!

Amazon, what a bunch of fucking bastards Buy from independent bookshops!

Centrists want the enthusiasm of the left w/out the message. It's insulting & treats the working class as a commodity. The reason people go out to hear Sanders & AOC is because of the message. "Better things aren't possible" just isn't an energizing slogan. Neither is "let's meet the Nazis halfway."

amazing how grasping this seems in response to someone doing something, how much he needs to be able to rewrite what you saw. the lesson is to do more things

You guys know what to do.

just sitting here, thinking about how chick schumer whipped votes to pass an enabling act for Trump less than a month ago

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

This is a good thread in general but please absorb this takeaway. The injustices are getting worse. They are also getting more glaring, and the American people are noticing. Keeping talking and keep yelling at electeds.

I think all Dems should be doing events like Kat's rn. Like Schumer and Booker etc. should be doing community events like this instead of more tv interviews. Get people outside and excited to help each other

Via @abreezeclayton.bsky.social, here's a tool to find out if your vote is on the list of those being challenged in North Carolina, along with instructions on what you can do next/who to contact re: ballot curing. Please share widely, especially if you're in North Carolina

There is a very real question of how many people died as a result of Cuomo and De Blasio's COVID beefs. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

A generous volunteer made this handy map to help us track progress toward our goal of a protest at every US showroom for the #teslatakedown GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION on March 29. Help us switch every icon to a happy raccoon by stepping up to host an action! www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

If you don't think this kind of thing is happening because of Bezos, you aren't friends with anyone in the WaPo newsroom.

This is going to be remembered for all time as Columbia’s response to having a student protestor kidnapped and held prisoner by a budding authoritarian regime. It is unspeakable cowardice.

Call scripts to reach your members of Congress to ask them what the hell they're going to do about this:

Please add this to your activism list: Submit a public comment from the link below to tell the HHS that gender affirming healthcare is evidence-based and lifesaving care. This new policy will effectively BAN HRT as it will no longer be allowed to be an "Essential Health Benefit" 1/3

honestly this election is the bellwether. accurate or not, it will be read as a test of elon musk's ability to donate his way to electoral outcomes, and politicians will respond accordingly.

Elon posts incel anime quotes on twitter like "those who cross me will know the fury of my wrath" and then goes on national tv and literally cries because people are showing up at Tesla showrooms with signs that are like "Hey Elon, you stink!"

Elon is trying to buy this election. Again. I'm signing up for shifts to do what I can to make sure he can't. Will you join me?

Congestion pricing is an unqualified triumph. One of the most immediately, strikingly successful public policies of my lifetime.

"Elon Musk’s Tesla has been forced to halt sales of its electric Cybertruck pickup amid mounting concern about metal panels falling off the supposedly indestructible vehicles..." lmaoo

Elon can cry all he wants but lighting Teslas on fire is cool and 100% legal

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Even if you view this in the coldest and most pragmatic way - with every orphan created, every parent made childless, you increase the number of previously peaceful people who will now respond violently and with hate www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

22 years & a day ago, 23 year old Rachel Corrie from the United States was intentionally crushed by a bulldozer directed by Israeli forces to destroy a building to brutally enforce its illegal occupation. Israel investigated itself & found itself impeccable despite eyewitnesses, and the US nodded.

There's always so much focus on messaging, but I think the real power move for Democrats is to recruit more candidates with working class backgrounds instead of running boring lawyers.

every single protest i attend there's a couple 9000 year old white people waving signs they painted themselves and offering everyone homemade trail mix bro old people love to protest chuck schumer is just weak.

Not one Republican in the House/Senate will speak out against insane stuff like this, and Chuck Schumer expects those same people to turn on Trump and bargain for a fair/bipartisan funding bill in 2026

I can’t stress enough that it should really not be difficult for Democrats to come up with a winning message

this is still so funny to me

Other Senate Democrats should help make this happen. www.change.org/p/boycott-co...

This is why current Senate leadership is not tenable. This is not a new lesson. It is just a lesson they refuse to learn.

Would've placed top 20 easily but Dems had me seething

food for thought

I truly hate these idiots. By anyone's assessment, they had *some* leverage here. And they chose to give it away for free while we screamed for them not to. They are a bunch of broken losers

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame
