I read a blog post from Grace Atwood about evolving style (she’s a millennial) and one of her Gen Z assistants was helping her adopt more new silhouettes. In the process, she said, “I think your generation (millennials) is really focused on looking smaller, when mine is not.” CLOCKED 😫

Say what you will about Biden, but I would bet every last dime in my bank account that he and Jill have already reached out to Caroline Kennedy and her family to make themselves available for anything.

don't threaten me with a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good time

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse. In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular. Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

Yimakh shemo to every single senator who voted to confirm this, but especially Bill Cassidy. This is your legacy, asshole. I will never forgive these people.

No brain November. Please take it out.

Me after spending time on Al Gore’s internet today:

Sometimes I say the names of the people in this administration to myself before I fall asleep like Arya Stark.

Okay now I believe that Clinton was able to convince him to do that

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

Trump, who won Nevada by 3 points in 2024, is now underwater in his approval in the state by 15 points, per the new Emerson College poll. Trump has a 20-point net negative rating on his handling of the economy, and he has a net disapproval of 12 points for his handling immigration.

“Somehow the United States returned.”

Seeing a lot of folks who either don’t know what the usual numbers look like or who didn’t go look at the demographics and methodology and are treating this as a _meh_ data point when anything close to this would be earth-shaking. Believe it when you see it, etc, but these are GOP extinction numbers

Oh please keep saying this. Repeat this every day. Please the libs will be so owned.

Been ranting to folks for a year now about how fucking obvious it’s been forever that the only way for Dems to break through in this media environment is to curse more and — how bout that! — this broke through the noise.

Keep doing this and keep burning your credibility fuckers

I’ve said repeatedly that I’m determined to enjoy watching these idiots prove to the country how stupid they are. I hope they keep it up.

28-74 on inflation. That’s digging into the Republican base.

When Trump shitposts like this and then nothing happens it makes him look incredibly weak instead of strong

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18 reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011 all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

I need a cigarette after reading that, the schadenfreude was so intense.

MARIST: new generic midterm ballot. @maristpoll.bsky.social maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/a-look...

informative article with this hopeful kernel from @greerdonley.bsky.social :“Mifepristone manufacturer Danco Laboratories last year confirmed ongoing efforts to add miscarriage management as an approved use to its drug label. Were that to happen, it could be a game changer for access.”

Holocaust education is not and has never been about teaching people to sympathize with Jews *specifically* Has everyone collectively lost their minds????

What we're seeing with Republicans turning on Trump is in no way a repudiation of Trumpism and the Republican white nationalist project, but instead the effect of these people realizing the regime failed to consolidate power as promised and Trump is physically deteriorating in public view.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

this seems objectively correct to me which is why both the centrists at WelcomePAC and hard partisans will hate it

Might as well have complimented his saw collection.

I know it’s horrifying, but frankly I prefer this level of mask-off honesty from the GOP. I hope they keep it up. By all means, expose your whole asses to the American people and make it as hard to ignore as possible.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Nick Fuentes is a self-professed, avowed Nazi. Whatever she’s trying to do, you do not and should not hand it to her.

I mean the reason the NYT has taken the tack it has with Epstein is because people involves with the paper were directly involved and they want to go back to those days.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

I think the most shocking revelation from the emails for me was that Bill Clinton didn’t actually go to the island. Also that Epstein himself confirmed that.

They’re calling her Megyn R. Kelly on TikTok

Showing their whole red asses.

I can't even fathom what January will look like, except probably very bad for the Trump regime. Absent a major black swan event, I don't see a path to power consolidation for them at this point. For a number of reasons, not just Epstein. (Thread)

So Christmas is coming up and retail jewelry prices are up at least 20% across the board, everywhere from the start of the year. This is because the price of gold has skyrocketed due to all the uncertainty in markets (more than doubled in 3 years), and tariffs.

Oh god is the reason why Trump is so much more unstable term 2 is because Epstein is dead???

Jeffrey Epstein was picking out Trump term 1's cabinet secretaries. I repeat, Jeffrey Epstein was picking out the President of the United States' fucking cabinet.

So I follow Royal fashion and the last few weeks have seen the royals move at unprecedented speed to strip Andrew of his titles. It screamed that they were trying to get ahead of something, but I just assumed it was Virginia Giuffre’s memoir. They knew this was happening.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Here's a thread from a while back illustrating a dynamic that historian Jefferson Cowie has called "racialized anti-statism." The anti-statist feelings are very real...but the "principles" they rest upon are illiberal in that they are not universally applied to all. bsky.app/profile/seth...

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it
