It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

This is what I was talking about in this piece — I asked many of the *most powerful VCs in New York City* about whether they would say no to sitting across the table from A16Z's pet murderer. ALL of them said they didn't feel like they had the power to do so. www.anildash.com/2026/02/03/n...

Gavin Newsom looks like a guy who enters with an earlier boarding group, gets away with it, then spends the whole flight opening the overhead bin.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

the real american industrial tradition is accumulating unfathomable wealth, looking around and saying "well obviously this is not sustainable" and then just sort of coming up with ideas about that for 50 years while collecting interest then leaving all that wealth to their accreted parasites

john yoo, the guy who put the "we" in "we tortured some folks"

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This is a conversation between two explicit and intentional pro-capitalist media leaders that comes within a single word of quoting Marx.

Feels lazy to keep reposting this but apparently it's still relevant

man just go back to fucking twitter what is your problem. This is why everyone hates YIMBYs - "we should build housing" is a fake politics that you never have to be held accountable for but can use as cover to make up some left bloc that's preventing market liberalism from saving the world.

so it was written. so it will be

the wealthiest americans love creating a walkable community to go shopping in and eat in on vacation and surround it with like soviet style housing blocks to sleep in on vacation but absolutely nobody is allowed to live there

There's something very Gen z about a medley with just the solo part of freebird

it's so funny that grover norquist used to tweet "tariffs are taxes" like once a week until 2025 now every time he talks about tariffs he writes like a notes app apology

They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks." The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.

It’s illegal to rank kids in children’s sports before age 12 in Norway. I find that fascinating. I wonder how many American children got put off from sports because of the results-focused culture.

lmao google finally uninvented pagerank

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla collectively received $51 billion in tax breaks, thanks to the Trump and GOP corporate tax cuts signed into law last year. Together they effectively paid a federal tax rate of 4.9%, according to @itep.org. itep.org/trump-meta-t...

if I know you and you use AI I will treat you like someone with Alzheimer's. if i don't know you I will treat you like someone with leprosy

it’s insane that a decade ago we all agreed that giving mass shooters the attention they desired was a bad thing but now because rightwingers will quite literally lie about the shooter every single time we all have to be acutely aware of the shooters intentions and ideology

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

yeah we've all been wondering where writers at National Rapeview would stand on this.

In honor of bsky adding drafts: Macauley R. R. Culkin

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

I'm constantly crashing out over how stupid these guys are. obviously trying to name a new company is hard, especially if it doesn't do anything, but you should at least do a quick check to make sure you're not using the exact same name as a 100-year-old firm in the same space.

ok yeah that's not a good look

9/11 trutherism is just crank-signalling at this point. Like if george bush died and his estate released a trove of documents detailing the planning and execution of 9/11 by the CIA, does anyone really believe there would be consequences?

You ever think about how Dachau just has to go on being a town? Like there are people out there who have to say "I'm from Dachau yes that one." Anyways just a thought.

way too online leftists turning on aoc is actually going to serve the crucial role of negatively polarizing way too online center left folks into supporting her

If you have not yourself personally looked through the epstein files, you are *wildly underestimating* how close larry summers was with him

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Well I didn't vote for the Laken Riley Act but @ossoff.bsky.social did so can there be some burden on him too? Because I don't get to vote again for months and he's doing it all the time.

mr beast would secretly smuggle a xenomorph to earth

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

Good morning! Taxing the wealth of the richest 1% of Americans down to the median wealth of the next-richest 9% ($5.2 million per household) would free up $48 trillion. Redistributing that to the poorest 50% of Americans would give *68 million households* an average of *$700k per household*.

Bad Bunny walking out wearing Ocasio 64 on the back of his shirt is a reference to when AOC appeared on Hbomberguy’s stream in 2019 when he was playing Donkey Kong 64 to raise money for trans rights.

The article itself is highly critical of Democratic policy proposals, which could be reasonably deemed moderately liberal. Overall, Biasly ranks the Dallas Express as somewhat liberal, despite the website's CEO having described it as conservative.

The thing about this is it has already stopped working. That's why she started selling classes teaching people how to do it. Like ebook and audiobook slop before it youtu.be/biYciU1uiUw?...

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

The founder & CEO of Substack, Chris Best, was interviewed by Nilay Patel 2 years ago about this very topic. Best shrugged it off, saying “I’m not gonna engage in ‘gotcha’ content moderation”, and then tried to frame his position as some kind of altruistic posture of upholding “freedom of speech”.👇🏾
