Starting to think absolutely nothing is going to happen about that whole grok thing... because we live in this timeline so why would anything happen about it

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

UPDATED LIST of countries the Trump administration has threatened to invade, annex, or otherwise attack in the 85 hours of 2026 so far: 🇻🇪 Venezuela 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇬🇱 Greenland 🇮🇷 Iran 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇲🇽 Mexico Insane.

They wanted Cuomo to win and now they want to make Mamdani a failure

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

i just found out trump can't do all that stuff cuz it's illegal

News is like: There's a 25% chance Zohran Mamdani carves a giant Z in the wall of Maduro's prison cell and breaks him free... according to prediction markets.

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

If Maduro was a right-wing despot who did exactly everything America accuses him of doing, but he let U.S. companies own their oil we would be giving him billion dollar weapons deals every year

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress. The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

I absolutely think the U.S. manipulates the outcomes of foreign elections

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

"When Congress neglected to do its duty – declining to begin impeachment proceedings after the first unconstitutional act of war – it was an implicit invitation to the Trump administration," @rikleen.bsky.social writes. "The Trump administration accepted the invitation."

I've always thought governments should have their own social media sites/apps. Like you'd need to prove who you are to post there, there's an assumption of no privacy. Just a social media app for accurate information from Gov officials and a place to discuss it. A truly "public" e-town square

Kids these days don't even know how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together!

it's a real symptom of widespread anti-progressive media bias that an explicitly progressive candidate is expected to feel a need to be apologetic about being progressive.

So it turns out doing this is unnecessary because the reality is so much horrifyingly worse. I knew people would request Grok undress any woman who posts a picture on X but my dumb ass assumed that it would never honor those requests. Congrats Elon your epic roasting "mecha hitler" is also a pedobot

Just so y’all know, my team had all of these letters in an envelope labeled “HATE MAIL!! VERY MEAN!! DO NOT READ!!!!” and literally had to snatch it out of my hands before recording. I’m very lucky to work with such mischievous, lovely people.

Everybody shut the fuck up. Stop with posting side effects, stop talking about how this is bad. We can all read. Just be quiet and let it happen.

People don't actually feel fraud, in the abstract. The Gov losing $1b doesn't impact anyone's day to day life. Knowing about it angers people, it's not good, but it's like $3/person. Losing childcare funding does directly impact people's lives. This will harm children's development, it's evil.

They didn't just freeze child care payments to Minnesota because of their fraudulent "fraud" video. They froze them to *every state*. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy and happy New Year! Our city rang in the New Year with parades, ice skating, fireworks, and performances at City Hall as we celebrated 50 years of First Night.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

The Working Families Party, offering US voters a genuine alternative to captured politics, has had a wave of wins, (sort of) including Zohran Mamdani in New York. If I were American, I know who *I'd* be voting for. share.google/7psWl23V016S...

Oh wow. This is big - and welcome - news in New York where Republicans have routinely highjacked the Working Families Party ballot line to siphon off votes from Democratic candidates. In particular, this has been a shady tactic used by Mike Lawler in #NY17. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/...

I'm not saying that we could reduce violence of all kinds by an order of magnitude by demanding universally better work breaks for all but I am saying we should try it and see what happens. I am hereby collecting signatures for the newly launching Siestas for All campaign

I’m at the liberal democracy I’m at the fascist state I’m at the combination liberal democracy and fascist state

Gavin Newsom is ultimately a shill for Silicon Valley, and the Democratic Party needs a clean break from that. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

2026 is the year the Dems become the Lib Dems

This would never happen but I think 2026 is the perfect year for DSA+WFP+Green Party to merge into one party that replaces the Democrats

I actually think I'd be really good at some of those stupid Mr Beast challenges

I wish I never received the ancient Chinese curse to live in interesting times

never taken a dime from a billionaire, I merely *incidentally* profited by publishing a complete horseshit story a billionaire wanted published, on the condition I do it on the platform he owns, so that I could convert the attention into subscribers on a different billionaire-funded platform

"I didn't take any money from billionaires! I pushed their agenda for free so that I could get boosted by them and take money from regular people who have been manipulated into believing that agenda by people like me."

When we wanted to go to space the U.S. government made that happen, we spent taxpayer money on the materials and paid federal workers for the labor. We discovered things in the process, but the physical traveling from Earth to the moon had no tangible effect on peoples day to day life.

For years now I've been struggling with a debilitating disease known as Turning 30

Back on that bsky grind. Can I get to 250 followers before new years?

2026 is gonna be the year of the AI scammer. I genuinely recommend you get in touch with friends and relatives you think are susceptible and make sure they know that AI is now capable of making convincing video and audio replicas of basically anyone and they have to be more wary going forward

Trump's corruption is unlike anything I've ever seen: completely centered on one man's narcissitic bloviation.

Also the bathroom of every house on Zillow you thought you could maybe actually afford

The weekend right after Christmas is one of my favorite weekends of the year

I went and volunteered at a food bank just a few days ago. it was good! there are more effective ways to feed people, sure, but it's still good! we fed lots of people. the org overall fed more. we'd all be better off if even more orgs and more people spent time and money doing stuff like that.

Good morning, snowy morning

"You and your campaign manager shouldn't be meeting voters where they are and trying to help them before even getting elected. You should be one the PHONE calling *me* and asking for money, so that you have to listen to *my* opinions before I give you 50 bucks!"

so sorry for creating Discourse™️ anyway, donate $5 at katforillinois.com if you can swing it

Few of you understand how insanely toxic twitter is for new accounts. I tested it, creating what I thought the vaunted "young male" demographic be: an apolitical finance/sports bro. My for you feed is completely filled with AI slop, facebook-style slop and MAGA slop. I get like 1 lib post/day
