Jeff Bezos: [clears throat] DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS Jeff Bezos: [turns off the lights]

Tillis acting like he's a badass here. We know what he'd do in Powell's shoes because we've seen how he responds to far less pressure from Trump. He wouldn't need to resign because he'd have immediately capitulated to Trump's demands, economy be damned.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

The regime is preparing their efforts to rig the 2026 mid-term elections. We can stop them if we are prepared and we stand united--but we have to be crystal clear on what they're trying to do.

Women who refuse to submit to male authority, refuse God-given heterosexual relationships, or reject their ‘natural’ roles as reproducers of the nation are seen as the enemy. This is why, after an ICE agent shot Renee Nicole Good, he lobbed the phrase “fucking bitch” as she was dying.

It's got everything: our decaying infrastructure the increasingly unstable weather a river of shit coming out of DC

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S. Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them. (Published Nov. 2025)

"Terrible things are happening outside ... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." — Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

They can't possibly loathe me as much as I loathe them. If it were up to me, Dem leadership would be charged with aiding and abetting on every crime ICE commits.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

It's hard to sum up the Trump Doctrine of International Affairs, but "But I want an Oompa-Loompa now!" goes a long way

smartly beating the "i'm a trump toady" allegations by calling him up for an off the record chat and dying my hair the exact shade of his toupee

Recommend everyone take 15 minutes and watch and share this segment, which CBS executives did not want you to see.

Gonna try to get a loan using this argument. Bank: We need your documented income Me: It's documented right here in this slide, I made a billion dollars last year

What size do I wear? 0 Look, I'm using the same template that our president is using, and is the potential [size of my ass].

It's time to talk to you about my cat.

Making white the color of the year is a little too on the nose.

Exactly this. He used DOGE to advance his goal to significantly reduce the world's non-white population. He wasn't bonding with Stephen and Katie Miller over a shared love of classic movies.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

The one good billionaire being the lady who got divorced tells us so much about everything really

Lurie's "comprehensive" vetting form is 5 pages. I had to fill out a 4 page questionnaire to get my dog into a dog walking group. I'm glad Mission Local is taking this seriously and making sure the person who will represent 80,000 San Franciscans actually bothers to vote themselves.

once again notice how @jaketapper.bsky.social can't be bothered to even lightly challenge her incoherent response to a basic question some of these cable news guys really could be replaced by AI for a net improvement

The award-winning article about stormwater management you didn't know you needed.

This is the San Francisco I love. missionlocal.org/2025/11/sf-c...

Shawn McCreesh, who wrote today's misty water-colored nostalgia story about Jeffrey Epstein's "Lost New York" at NYT, told St. John's j-school students last year that journalism is great because “It gives you this all-access pass to interact with these people we would otherwise never come across.”

What a terrible day to know how to read

are the reporters disgusted?????? Cause Michael Wolff was down yonder playing in Epstein's emails .... and sis was giving ole golden throat advice on how to hide a dead bears body

CHOTINER: So you had reasons for visiting the island? SUMMERS: Is butiful plce CHOTINER: Is that buttiful or beautiful? SUMMERS: 51 % of 1. Wmen or seenery, nt shr wich.

This was (briefly) my supe and it makes me furious. We deserve competent representation and Lurie couldn't bother to do any kind of vetting before appointing someone wholly unqualified. His entire justification for the pick was her small biz experience and he didn't even check out her business.

This.

Feminists have long been scared of looking mean, and as a result we’ve been way too nice to antifeminist women. Sorry no, you’re not submissive, servile, and dependent because you’re a woman and that’s just your feminine nature. You’re submissive, servile,and dependent because you lack self respect.

just....enjoy this

VA, and NJ are getting all the attention, but I think this is the bigger state-level story. I suspect few national reporters have spent much time in the Magnolia state, so they don't know how surprising this is.

My dad gave me shit for it when I turned 18 and registered to vote as a Dem, arguing Dems are too busy running run away from what they said they believed in to fight for anything. That he wasn't running away or triangulating was the most heartening part of Mamdani's campaign.

I've always thought one of the secrets to Trump's rise was that his rallies are like Dead shows for monsters. People followed him from city to city and they built a community with red hats and tacky Trump merch in place of tie dye.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Read the whole thread — this is the kind of energy we need.

people will complain that there's no longer a shared truth, and blame it on right wing media or fox or the public. but mainstream media largely abandoned the idea that there should be standards of truth for the right some time back.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

"'I'm sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,' Mercer said in his email. 'I would strongly suggest dropping this story.'" www.propublica.org/article/paul...

See, I'm a special kind if stupid where I misunderstand everything I watch, so inherent criticism flies over my head. Anyway, it won't be Pravda, it'll be the simplistic schlock like Steven Segal churned out combined with Pravda.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Monsters all the way down.

“Well policy needs to prioritize men’s problems over women’s, because men are the ones who start shooting when they’re dissatisfied.” Ha ha ha. So what you’re describing is actually a hostage situation

With Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao and accusing the Biden administration of persecuting him because it hated cryptocurrency, here's a reminder of what the IRS's cybercrime investigators dug up on CZ and Binance. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

when it's this easy and economical to add context (the WSJ alert isn't longer than the others) the deliberate omission of it betrays a framing bias so obvious it should make you question every headline you see in those outlets
