Good thread here

ALL OF THIS. And a reminder too for those who are abled, simply asking friends/fam who are struggling what they need when you go to the store can be a HUGE help, esp since we have payment apps now. Plus, then they don’t have an idiot thinking yogurt and fennel are substitutes 🥴

4 small problems for Corporate Media’s Vance ‘28 campaign (1) he was Vice-President for the most disastrous presidency in US history (2) he let Trump walk all over him (3) everyone hates him (4) Trump not planning on relinquishing power to loser outside of family

5 small problems for Corporate Media’s Rubio ‘28 campaign (1) he was Secretary of State for largest decline in US diplomatic “soft” power around world (2) he let Trump walk all over him (3) MAGA hates him (4) Democrats hate him (5) Trump not planning on relinquishing power to loser outside of family

It’s coming “in 2 weeks” just like trump. Because guys like Platner never want to do the work, which is why they’re trying to hijack the party who has consistently done the work making actual progress, as they purge the Black and LGBTQ folks, esp women, who have always been the base of that party.

Musk says an hour of his time is worth $100 million yet he spends six hours a day angrily posting online every time a big budget Hollywood movie casts a Black person in a starring role. Curious!

Great NYT essay by @linseymarr.bsky.social, framing the hantavirus story. Independently, the same key points and perspective from @donmilton.bsky.social in our conversation that day erictopol.substack.com/p/assessment...

Ethics! Some companies still have them. "A travel company declined to sponsor Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's family road trip after determining that sponsoring the venture amounted to buying access to a sitting cabinet secretary..." www.rawstory.com/sean-duffy-t...

And you know what? DO IT. Because as long as white people in America are voting for white supremacist interests, you will not EVER be able to depend on America for SHIT.

We worked ourselves up to elect an Obama and tore it all down for Trump and that is peak ratfuckery. So, yes, I go after online Leftists who ratfucks the party and that will not change until they do. Its personal for me.

Nobody here needs me to tell them not to do this but Jesus Christ in a Cadillac do not do this.

Good job Trump voters, 3rd party & non-voters! This is going to result in children dying, trans lives being worse on every fuckin level but, hey, at least gas is below... Oh, wait.. Fuck all y'all!

This whole thread is required reading and moreso when we consider what disinformation campaigns led us to Trump 2.0 and to face what likely lies ahead for the midterms

As i have repeatedly told you, if they come for Jewish people in the daytime. They are coming for Black people at night. We are natural allies and all our efforts should go towards strengthening our relationships.

NEWS: @baldwin.senate.gov and I are calling on the FAA to review how reduced crew size with certain airlines is impacting evacuation standards. In other words, you deserve to know how less flight attendants impacts your safety if disaster strikes. We're demanding answers.

Dems keep saying Trump broke his promise. He didn't. nul.org/news/black-a...

Me: The economic policies of multiracial democracy ... resulted in Black prosperity – and there's your problem. If whiteness is wealth, Blackness is theft. When some white people saw Black people doing well, they thought they were witnessing a crime. Trump's reelection restored "justice."

I would like for someone, anyone, to cite a concrete, specific example of an elected Democratic politician talking to the public *as though in a college seminar*, per Obama's scolding. We hear about Dems talkin' fancy all the time. Someone cite an actual f'ing example! Please!

Any time I see convos about "why don't Democrats talk normal English", I think about how incredibly damn embarrassing it is that I went to public schools in the bottom half of my state as the Berkshires is a dying rural area, and I apparently still read and write at a higher level than these people.

I have no words. Actually I do. Just not today. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I really appreciate how Japanese Godzilla movies DO NOT CARE about continuity. Almost every one ignores the movies before it and all that nerdy nitpicking. They each just go: “Here’s some monsters! Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Seriously if Harris lost because there was not a good enough "brand that people genuinely feel connected to," we got what we deserve.

Construction of White House hospital for Trump raises new questions about Joe Biden's health.

Dems need to be aware of what they're saying to Trump voters when they say Dems should have an agenda that's "attractive." What's attractive to them is whiteness. They believe it equals prosperity. They believe nonwhites *must* be excluded or the agenda is a lie. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

45 years ago Dolly Parton released "9 to 5" and we were all like omg she's so right about ALL of this, and then we just never did anything about it and now we all go to work at 8:00 and feel guilty for being sick that's on us

Don't say "Trump is doubling down on not caring about Americans' financial situation." Say "Trump is a profoundly deranged madman who can't even pretend to be sane. 'It's a perfect statement' and 'everybody agrees' are not things that a normal person says."

Mentally unstable nepo babies at the highest level of government have brought America to its knees. That’s why Democrats need to nominate Jack Schlossberg for Congress.

What Platner knows is how to lie. That's how he gained his political advantage. It's disgusting that he's doing it with ease and that voters are falling for it.

Whew, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hits another one out of the park. 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/o...

Our Media & Political Elite promised US that if we coddled insurrectionists, just like we did after Civil War, love of unity would overwhelm their thirst for wealth & power: it was a loser strategy for last 150+ years, as it is now. We must be very clear for need for meaningful accountability.

Was obvious on 1/6/21 & 1/20/21 & every day before/after: if you can attempt insurrection that would yield king-like power & $10's of billions if you succeed AND there's no cost if you fail THEN you are going to keep trying until you succeed. Accountability was about deterrence as much as punishment

Police using face recognition technology are prioritizing low-level crimes over privacy rights, EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @thenvindy.com. We don't want a society "where we expect that just because we went into public, a police officer is going to get to know… or be able to search that in real time."

There is no going back. That fact that we put this putz in charge, twice, tells dictators like Xi that he can do whatever he wants to us in the future. He can count of rightwing media making Trump look big and tough for the home audience so that we are clueless to our weakness. A goddamn disgrace.

JUST FILED: Trump is passing around a piece of political kryptonite .. with the bonkers election-year idea of a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money for convicted violent criminals ===> youtu.be/7hVvfL1MLec?...

Welcome to the Chinese century.

What version of hell is this where the National Academy of Sciences is being lectured by Lauren Boebert about what constitutes “gold standard” practices?

Republicans told US last year federal government was all fraud & waste, then they gutted federal services & raised our deficit & killed a bunch of people & released our private data. Incredible they are still trying this schtick while Trump is literally planning to steal another $1.3 billion from US
