I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

I wonder if federalizing investigations of ICE and CBP to kill them becomes a common tactic against cities attempting to hold out of control violent feds.

There is a company that makes a "Shotgun Blast" whiskey which seems appropriate.

have you poured one out for dick cheney

New publication by Shira Hassan and me.

When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them

Vaxxed?

I guess when you control the media and message, a permanent unalterable record of what you previously said and did is a threat.

Is that from being unable to afford to feed ourselves or?

Amazing things happening on Spotify.

Every single ICE agent needs to be in prison after public tribunals. Pure evil.

Slop Nationalism!

Disappointing on multiple levels.

I see, I see www.reuters.com/world/us/boe...

These are not words you want to hear a judge say about your testimony in open court.

oh wowwww wow. well! at least can all feel secure in knowing every penny of that $6.7 million was received in a totally legally above-board way and then spent on sensible, legitimate campaign needs! bon voyage! enjoy that cruise you were talking about, Eric!

Gonna do anything to help local activists with that $121k you piled up after being arrested and released within an hour last time? People fighting multiple felonies for 2-4 years didn’t run up that tab, you’ve got 1 baby ass trespassing misdemeanor, *if* they even actually try to convict. Total BS.

Reminder that Robby is a grifter ass protest tourist who snagged $121,000 for ‘legal fees’, after 1 day of protesting, getting arrested, and released in like an hour, and contributing fuck all to local activists. Get the fuck out of Portland.

🚨 WaPo SCOOP: Inside the crisis at the Heritage Foundation The group behind Project 2025 is facing a rebellion — and has been for months. The Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes/antisemitism saga is just what caused it to break into the open. 🎁 Gift link:

"Why don't women gravitate toward the racist, sexual predator who made a platform on ChatGPT? I'm so floored. Off to the cork board."

Are these people on drugs or

This one is particularly ironic, given that his employee runs Gays Against Groomers, which caused innumerable threats against trans people. Greg can eat shit and I hope he's genuinely terrified.

NLG: "The Trump administration is signaling that if you possess political writings in your home or vehicle—such as a “No Kings” anti-Trump poster or a pamphlet critical of capitalism and demanding its end—there is a chance you could get thrown in federal prison and placed in removal proceedings."

Infantino is so cartoonishly corrupt.

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

the cope on fox tonight has been good

Federal agents kidnapped a baby during an operation at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. Feds took the baby away while they were abducting the father. Fuck these monsters.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Not sure where my line is for what ai think should happen to ICE and CBP, but it's somewhere between raging herpes and volcano bath.

In Trump's telling, all that stands between us and permanent one-party rule is three Republican Senators.

you guys this is my county which has just gone blue for the first time in half a century

Incoherent. the Democrat who won underperformed compared to previous Democrats who weren’t running against another Democrat who refused to quit after losing the primary???

so what you're saying is the centrist brunchlord substack punditry's claims that Dems have to shift further right to win is complete bullshit

Customer Service AI chatbots could be more accurately described as Customer Enragement AI chatbots.

David isn't wrong, but if all Americans need is "a little good sense" I'm not feeling great about our odds.

Hopefully

The GOP getting scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, and topped.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

I'm so sick of this country's political ping-ponging between electing a fascist and immediately regretting it

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

How is the Gaza ceasefire going? Quieter — but not quiet As this chart from a recent piece by Dina Esfandiary shows, battles and attacks have slowed since the truce, but haven’t disappeared

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.
