You say Mamdani is a socialist, then explain to me why he's flaunting his ownership of Donald Trump

My usually mild-mannered, 2nd grade music teacher lost his fucking mind when kids were screwing around with the classroom flag and it almost touched the ground. My eyebrows are still singed from the fire and brimstone speech he gave about the dire consequences that follow just this kind of thing

Billionaires getting spanked on both coasts tonight

[Exit Clown.]

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

My new essay in the WSJ about the essential role that enslaved labor played in America's capitalist takeoff. Born in Blackness. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

I support funding a Truman show-style fake White House containment zone where this guy can go do his gaudy home-improvement projects and leave the rest of us the hell alone

This was built by every Democrat who blocked any effort to hold police accountable for their actions and did nothing to curtail the power they exert on our public officials and policies. Now we watch as SFPD stands around while unidentified, masked agents grab residents off our streets

I will vote for any D presidential candidate who promises to open up this monstrosity to the public armed with sledgehammers, crowbars, and sawzalls

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

On a company-sponsored meditation webinar going to my happy place: googling power tools on a separate tab

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

NGL the Trump sign/blue line flag on an Elliptigo is causing me some cognitive dissonance Also: 15/10

Amazing

Amazing news, and time to realize my life goal of personally ensuring Christine Pelosi never gets within spitting distance of a House seat

It's cool that this guy gets the peril we're in right now, but I need people to understand that this has been the road to success in the GOP for my entire half century of life! Like, this is that exact soup Kristol came up and thrived in! I am losing my mind

I've lived through 50+ years of republicans and I just have to say "become" is doing a hell of a lot of work in this post

googling "can I get an inflatable frog costume in time for the no kings march"

"2 more feet and I can fit it in fridge!"

I hope someone is cataloging all of these videos to easily id these motherfuckers when it's time to through them in the Hague

While this is certainly true, don't discount the titanic force of "Americans would rather suffer themselves than see someone 'unworthy' get a benefit" (aka white supremacy)

This reminds of the time my friends had "the first ever '90s party" in 2000, and showed up as full-on Xena warrior princess (complete with fake muscles) while everyone else was dressed in baggy jorts

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

At a time when dems can't run away from the principles of our party fast enough, seeing someone willing to defend abortion, women's health, and equity this expertly and forcefully is making me feel some really big feelings.

"The point is that the possibility of overreach is a price worth paying exactly because shame serves as a robustly liberal alternative to the political violence that Klein and company rightly abhor." This article is so good and so necessary

If I have to know about this, so do you

My spell check just changed "reasonably" to "Taibbi" and LOL it has never been so wrong

can't wait for Klein to blame his transformation to full-throated right-wing pundit on the left for accurately telling everyone who he really is

For MAGA the violence has always been a feature rather than a bug. That won't change even when the violence comes for one of their own. I'm sick and tired of living in this hell they've created for us all.

Are people who want to build more housing the "ones who are actually anti-housing"? Are people against racially exclusionary zoning "the real racists"? Are tall buildings "eminent domain against the neighborhood's air"? Learn the answers to these questions and more!

Best thing California could do to fight fascism is build more housing.

Regardless of shooter ideology (though shooters often share a stated ideology that gets overlooked by initial reporting), mass shootings have an ideological form, which is that agency belongs to those willing to do violence, that the dead deserve their fates, that this is the point of gun power.

Thanks to bluesky tonight, I finally remember what it is to feel joy

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

jury nullification is a powerful tool against fascism right now.

Just like a really big congratulations to @governor.ca.gov for submitting an amicus brief in support of Grant's Pass. People on the ground knew exactly how this would be weaponized to incarcerate our most vulnable and excluded people, but you just couldn't fucking help yourself

Seems like a good time to remind all the Abundance folks who don't get why the left is suspicious of/hostile to their thing that @dkthomp.bsky.social hyped his book on this misogynist, racist fuckwit's podcast

I regret to inform Gen X that Mtv was bad, actually

The right overestimates how much the left cares about what happens to Bill Clinton

Anyone know how to recall a senator? Our democracy cannot survive 5 more years of authoritarian collaboration by @schiff.senate.gov

TIL that, in addition to house paint colors, coffee shops, bike lanes, address number fonts, and volunteer trash pickups, gentrification ALSO means "young people organizing to toss ineffective Dem leadership out of office"

I'd love to be reveling in this, but I know that the evil capriciousness of the universe means this will somehow end up ratfucking the Dems

San Francisco can only dream of this kind of mayoral candidate content

You know, BLM people get a lot of shit for "defund the police" as a phrase, but it got press. I bet the Dems would have gotten A LOT more coverage of their message if they called it the "MAGA Murder Bill" (accurate), instead of "Big Ugly Bill" (insipid)

I give Jeffries a lot of shit, but he is bringing it to floor this morning #betterlatethannever
