it's possible that Spanberger hates these people enough she could actually do a one-term 'burn the crops and salt the fields' demolition on the GOP. the memes from the tribunals would be tremendous

Accelerationists never can explain how my Mom will get her lifesaving medication in their glorious complete social collapse.

I am a peaceful gentle sort who believes in accountability and trial-by-jury before death sentences ... ... *but* ...

The comparison in my head would be if someone argued that because US health insurance companies do bad things we should close every hospital and doctor's office in the US. This would obviously be horrific but was basically the state of USAID discourse in many places.

Even now, I see people acting like Elon killed USAID out of ignorance & wondering how he could have made such a mistake Folks, he believes in the White Genocide Myth Mass death in affected countries was the desired outcome. He didn't just happen to accidentally make the same choices a Nazi would

Definitely funny ...

What's not to like?

I was initially not the biggest fan of Spanberger but it turns out she has the heart of a world class hater and that is 100% the kind of energy we need right now

TF. I've voted mainline Dem for 50-55 years, and honest to Dawg, I'm feeling betrayed. I give a shit what Cuck Schumer and Hack Jeffries and the fundraising Dem Estab want ... they're all cucks. I don't care if it's AOC or some fighter in 2028, but I don't want "get along go along" insipid Dems.

I *always* tell the truth when I'm laying in the fields. /snark [laying / lying joke]

Rahm sucks. we’re all there at least, right?

ofc she is ...

what's funny is that that actually also sounds like AI cadence.

straight fire from Melinda Cooper as usual

b/c Republicans and the shit-licking Failed Press Corpse™? [paws that refreshes] Sorry, it's been a long day. I am just so fuckin' tired of the political landscape. And as a 50-55 yr mainline Dem voter ... ... I feel betrayed. We need a new party that will fight for its principles.

🎯🧵"25. Liars expect us to defend the truth. They don’t expect us to attack them for lying."

The amount of cases AG Ellison has filed and WON on our behalf — from education to civil rights to climate action to consumer protections — is incredible and I’m so so grateful. We have the best AG in the country. Team Keith all the way!

This is (yet another) reason the Trump Admin are a-gonna lose: they're idiots. They've never played Risk or Stratego, or any other strategy game ... and more to the point have never been forced to balance pros and cons ... ... and they're a-gonna tank the US economy, among other things.

Fuckin' A. As if Republicans aren't pushing *multiple* moral panics today. Not your point, exactly, but WTF is wrong with Estab Dems that they can't get out in front of these accusations? Or turn them back on their propagators ...

"All of it, Martin."

I know it's not the point, but +1 for "dementiac".

heckuva job, bari

This Is Definitely His Legacy….

So if I hold up a sign at a rally, as I did today, that's pointless other than to establish my bona fides?!? You can't possibly be saying this. Long day, I'm tired, tell me what I've misunderstood, SVP.

"Misogyny is a foundational piece of modern gender construction, and therefore modern society. Fuentes isn’t inventing it or implanting it, he’s harvesting." organizingmythoughts.org/nick-fuentes...

I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.

In a different Sim, Dems are an opposition party. I'm beginning to think that the Dem base should be thinking abt a new party for 2028, and just let the Dem Estab do their thing, which is fundraise. Mebbe AOC on the "Fighting Libs" ticket in 2028? Just so depressing thinking abt voting for the

emmer is dogshit on your heel. He is scum.

put differently, the ruling party is trashing and discrediting the Constitution. That's just fact.

+1 Trans people are people. Why is this difficult? Honest to Dawg, I just don't get it.

Oxymoron du jour, with emphasis on "moron": "principled Tom Emmer"

There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children. Now, what are we going to do about it?!

Yet another impeachable offense for when people who believe in the Constitution get control of Congress

Disastrous. No adequate words, atm, for just how ruinous this is for those of us with rheumatoid autoimmune musculoskeletal disease and others. This is outrageous. You can read about the work NIAMS does, did? www.nih.gov/about-nih/ni...

Oooooo! "The suspense is terrible! I hope it never ends!"

Gosh, what a shocker!

I like this phrasing ("fewer than 100 non-citizens voted" in US elections) far better than the 0.000...000763% stat that I've seen elsewhere.

Just back from today's Presidents' Day protest at the US highway thru town. Thumb's up + honking outnumbered middle fingers by something like a factor of 100:1, which seems like it's an improvement over previous protests, but it's just an impression, make of it what you will.

Very smart messaging from the White House here, making everyone think about Donald Trump as a ruthless predator.

Oxymoron du jour: "principled Republican"

The US State Department MUST fuck itself ... and I do not care if it survives.

Good piece by Dominic Presl on the reasons Trump chickened out of his attempt to seize Greenland... might even be correct (and the argument makes sense to me, FWTW). Recommended.

If the Democrats nominate @astroterry.bsky.social they will have a massively good shot at winning TX-9, a district they drew to be Republican. We have a shot to make Texas far more blue, and this is important. Vote Virts!

Yeah, we know.

"The Russian Army - 3rd strongest military in Ukraine, after the UAF and the Kyiv meter maids."

I'm remembering my high school bud of 60+ years ago who in July 2024 told me that Trump appoints only the best. And I guess he's right, if you're willing to entertain a rather unusual definition of "best".

Perhaps I'm being misled by the stereotype, but is it possible she drank too deeply from her font of boxed wine during the presentation? I mean, perhaps they couldn't understand what she was sayin'?
