Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots. Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth. Delete your account.

Bring this back & I'll consider it lol

zuck said "fuck them kids. I'm working on Metaverse legs."

1. She was the only person legally eligible to the Biden war chest, campaign infrastructure, field offices, staffers etc whereas anyone else would have had to start from scratch with just 107 days *before* a convention? 2. Her job was literally to take over in case anything happened to him?

To Trump 2024, I think you could add Garfield, McKinley, TR, FDR, MLK, RFK, Ford (twice), Reagan, Milk... the lone assassin seems like the norm by far.

If not for a split second decision by a bystander, I bet we’d be hearing a lot of conspiracy theorists today insisting that Giuseppe Zangara couldn’t possibly have been acting alone.

We all saw one self-motivated guy with a rifle get a shot off at Trump at a rally in 2024. Is it really so hard to believe that one self-motivated guy with a rifle killed JFK in 1963?

ICYMI - POPE LEO: “When people are living good lives for 10, 20 years… (Trump) is treating them in a way that’s extremely disrespectful, violent — We have to look for ways to treat people humanely and with dignity.” (H/T @CBSNews)

Meta: We are pro-sex traffickers, and will support your rights to the fullest extent that we can

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Genius

It’s still funny people are doing this when the United States government undertook one of the most thorough investigations in its history, right up there with the strategic bombing survey

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.

broooooooo. This show was incredible and a wild ride throughout. I had no idea where it was going and I'm really good at theory crafting. Jurnee Smollet is a revelation and Denis Lehane does not fuck around.

Can I just say that I very much dislike the word "own/owned" used in political context? It's just ... IDK, gauche. Like all the cucked/owned talk is great when I'm playing PVP but it's just a weird way to talk about a fucking facist.

No, they just lie for money.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

I was floored.

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den? MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes TRUMP: surely they ate him MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't TRUMP: Unbelievable

I’m not going to mention any names, but I will say that it’s very easy to charm scary narcissists actually if you talk to them very warmly, listen respectfully while they speak, make a ton of eye contact, and present your ideas enthusiastically without actually saying you don’t like their ideas.

This is the first time that I've ever seen the spark of likeability in Trump that his followers seem to love. It never worked on me but in this clip I can see a glimmer of how he fucking conned his way to the top.

👀

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

This is Zelensky putting pressure on Trump. He knows Ukrainians don't want to surrender. He's talking to all Americans across the political spectrum who support Ukraine, love freedom, and hate surrender. He's telling them: "you can't allow Trump to align the US with Ru against Europe". Let's see.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Wisdom. Anyone can take a course or read a book & obtain levels of intelligence on a plethora of things. However, one can only obtain wisdom through lived experience. I’ll always value advice that comes from someone’s mistakes & triumphs over advice from someone regurgitating what they’ve read.

“If every time that ICE strikes, they leave each community more mobilized, interconnected, and radicalized than before, we can use their efforts to eventually become capable of defeating them.”

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him

Call be naive but I think we're actually better off without the actual, literal, members of a elite global pedophile ring in our midst. Everyone else can do what they want but for me, I'm going to remember every. single. one. of the people and institutions exposed.

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

I think if you need to read one piece about the unpleasant last week in elite journalism and why it matters, read this by @marisakabas.bsky.social (and subscribe, she regularly breaks government and politics news you get elsewhere two weeks later)

i think accounts like hippo are mentally projecting the notion of social media as being like pre social media forum era. however, in the forum era, very little people outside of the forum would know who an internet hippo is

I saw somebody I really respect making this very case several months ago and felt some of it ebb away. It’s not an act of resistance to compete in a rigged game; at best, you’re a sucker.

What's really starting to come into view is that "online tankies" aren't even really that radically communist, it's just people with anti-American sentiments who are also culturally-4chan. If you press them, they're absolutely racist, misogynistic, transphobic, and homophobic. That's their culture.

Goddam right. You do the right thing -- which this republic desperately needs done -- and they pull your credentials. So what? You have a phone and your have your sources. or you should. And you continue to report on this presidency as your colleagues now do outside the Pentagon. Enough dishonor.

America 2025.

ICE in Charlotte. The guy in the headlock is a restaurant worker. Barbarians.

The opposite, dear buttons. You should only be allowed to post after midnight.

I have a love affair with down turned eyes.

At the same time, purity culture infantilizes women. It ages them up sexually, projecting maturity onto them there. But elsewhere, it emphasizes their need for male leadership, first from their fathers and then their husbands. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-barely-l...

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

cock shame vs. GORILLA HANDS

First Democratic member of the Senate to attack Greenblatt in public?

Sometimes, especially on long car rides, I think about reminding the kids they have a right to remain silent and it's important, as a citizen, to exercise your rights.

One of the things I never realized about resisting oppression is that resistance isn't always active. Sometimes it's just choosing not to be helpful. Like being a photographer and publishing an unflattering picture of the VP for instance.

Woke Raytheon is much better than unwoke Raytheon because one shows a company that feels an obligation towards society (even if cynical) in a way the other does not. Signaled virtue is still better than vice of any type.

Someone do a wellness check on @dieworkwear.bsky.social .

Ma'am.
