Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #RemembranceSunday🧵 From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

Fighting back against Trump’s regime is the only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Tell your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans. 👇

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

We really should have hung more traitors after the Civil War

Now get ready for the Big One. The lackey SCOTUS will gut the Voting Rights Act, likely in time for the midterms. Every black Congress member in the south will be gerrymandered out of their seats. And 20-30 million of us will have to peacefully go to the streets. And stay there.

Over 7 million strong.

My kid just referred to Pritzker as a “diva” and I love that so much.

*Record scratch* *Freeze frame* So I suppose you're wondering how I got here.

Taxation is our compromise.

Never hire anyone with Palantir on their resume.

Intuit, parent company of TurboTax, donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Always follow the money.

For each additional moral–emotional word in a social media post, the number of shares increases 13% Our new meta-analysis finds robust evidence of moral contagion (N=4,821,006) The moral contagion effect is even stronger in larger, pre-registered studies (17%). academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Because Trump is using millions of hungry Americans as leverage in his shutdown, SNAP benefits will be late and significantly reduced this month — leaving millions of families at risk. We’re stepping up to support our fellow Americans by donating food, supplies, and funds to local food banks. 👇

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

BIG NEWS buried amid the blue wave: @govwesmoore.bsky.social announces that Maryland is IN when it comes to redrawing maps for 2026. "Come next November in Maryland, we will have fair maps."

Also frankly if a guillotine was being brought out there is a very long line and the average finance bro cheating on his taxes is really quite far down the list. Even The Terror only took ~0.15% of the French population, maybe 0.4% of Paris. (Less than Covid!)

Also, “be kind to the stranger in your midst” is a JEWISH mitzvah (ie it’s from the Old Testament which evidently was also adopted into Christian theology). Stephen Miller needs to have his kippah revoked.

😂 you do not know state power until you’ve had the full might of the Bay Area’s local bureaucratic apparatus unleashed upon you 🤭 #fuckzuck

You'll be shocked to learn that the guy who had us scrambling for toilet paper last time is at it again.

Fuck policy, that’s not how people make decisions. They’re defiling the White House, letting people starve, making stuff more expensive, and sending armed goons into our cities. They’re violating the moral order of the world & we need to claim the space of righteousness.

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines. False equivalence in the media is killing us.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

How much do Dems need to run up the midterm score to trigger the GOP Gerrymandering Doom Scenario, where all those newly red-leaning districts become blue districts

How is Warren’s social media team this out of touch? We’re sitting on a massive blue wave and they’re just churning through their talking points in a total disconnect from what anyone cares about right now.

Trumpism as a political project has two main obstacles before it: first, there's no true heir apparent to him as cult leader; and second, the base of the cult being so predisposed to conspiracism opens it up to schism immediately after he dies.

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Wake up, Dick! I want you to see droves of New Yorkers voting in a Muslim socialist as mayor! Dick?

Oh damn. 🥶

Zuck is never coming back from his choice to go MAGAT. He will never be forgiven.

I believe some credit goes to the huge No Kings marches. People saw the solidarity. Their neighbors and citizens across the country turned fear into courage. People were proud to vote, knowing their fellow Americans were behind them.

They poked the bear & the bear poked their asses back.

Guys can you imagine getting to see Andrew Cuomo eat shit and concede twice in one year. Fuck me running

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

Of course the risk of doing radical mid-decade gerrymandering for Rs in midterms always was that they weakened a lot of formerly safe Repub districts by moving R voters into Dem districts, which would backfire spectacularly if you have a blue wave scenario - making it a tsunami.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
