This government suffers from severe loser stench. Everything they say and do is a barely veiled form of "I'm the BOSS and you have to RESPECT ME!" and nobody does. Millions of people are going outside tomorrow just to say so

WA just cleared its backlog of sexual assault kits, a HUGE win for survivors. Thank you to our lawmakers and Democratic leaders for passing the legislation and funding that made this possible!

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

“Kids”

👇😂 @demsec.bsky.social I told yall we would start aligning with MAGA. Not ideologically but in purpose. @freshslice.bsky.social @tideywideys.bsky.social

Locking in for oral arguments on the big voting rights case at the Supreme Court. The next two hours or so will be... incredibly bad.

“.. He acknowledged he was speculating, he said, but ‘it’s legitimate speculation. Because if you look across the board, there is a pattern.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

We are in a golden age of morons failing upward. Even inbred hapsburgs weren’t doing it like this

What a remarkably evil batch of people we share this country and planet with.

Another brutal jobs report. The economy lost 32,000 jobs in September, and August was revised from +54,000 all the way down to -3,000. That’s not just a slowdown—it’s a collapse. The economy is clearly in trouble under Trump, and Republicans are still in total denial.

Energy dominance *EXXON TO CUT 2,000 WORKERS AS OIL SECTOR JOB LOSSES MOUNT

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

In the State Department’s original tweet, they tagged the wrong Gustavo Petro. Imagine being a random guy from Brazil and waking up to learn you’ve been visa banned from the US

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Nothing is more embarrassing going on right now than all the pundits who made their careers whining about cancel culture trying to explain how the fascism they helped usher in is really just the same thing on the other side ... if you squint just right.

Seriously, just look at Missouri, where an abortion rights ballot measure outperformed Democrats in 2024, because abortion rights are popular, and now their Republican legislature wants to override voters to put a repeal on the ballot next election, an attack on democracy.

Dems asking for money right now is CRAZY.

this exists it is called thinking

David Wallace-Wells is the best climate journalist working today, arguably the best journalist period, and this is a fantastic summary of where things stand on climate change:

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

As usual, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social captures it. "America’s entire power structure has been taken over by the very same sort of dumbasses who have been yelling at all of us on the internet for years."

they are furious to the point of rage over the fact that obama reminded them he is black and in doing so implicated them in racial prejudice

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Remember kids, 🎶 It’s Andromeda Season 🎶 And if you’ve ever wanted to get into astrophotography or an easy to use telescope, I talk about that in today’s newsletter: news.chanda.science/archive/its-...

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

A lot of lone nuts with no coherent political philosophy seem to be very closely related to one specific political philosophy

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

guys, we have a tone shift

The thing that is hard to communicate is that that specific flavor of “brainrotted 4chan slug with incoherent beliefs” is also downstream of the right wing politics factories dumping glowing nuclear sludge into the river there’s a reason nihilism has risen and it wears Rush Limbaugh’s face

if the right doesn’t stop doing things like this the right might get violent

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

Just watch. The whole system is swinging into action, using Kirk's killing to advance the power & interests of the right. The crucial thing to notice is that *the process wouldn't work without the complicity & assistance of the mainstream elite establishment*. Every time.

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports. But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

Shut down this lawless government.

The mainstream press is going to do Trump’s bidding on this. Stop begging them to “do better.” They’re on the other side.
