This is great. Now we just need a hundred other Dem politicians to speak this bluntly.

Great explainer

Should've just taken the used plane they offered in exchange for our military #corruption #Qatar

Brave, brave, brave, brave sir RFK Jr.!

This story has extra juice when you know the pretext behind "operation Midway Blitz"

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

A competent opposition party could make transphobia absolutely toxic for the GOP.

I like how Krasner winning an almost unprecedented third term as Philly DA by stomping the walrus mustached city court judge who quit the bench to try to take him out first in the primary and again as a Republican in the general isn’t even folded into the national Dem sweep coverage.

COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS

Directly defying a court order so that he can withhold food from the poor

So there were, y’know…edits?

Unbelievable. As in, literally, not credible.

Great effort by local restaurant to step up for the community in a crisis. Heartwarming, until you remember that it's being brought about by a bunch of authoritarians and fascists who kill thousands worldwide and at home while giving tax breaks to billionaires rather than feed/medicate the needy.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov How about getting the ISP to, you know, protect protesters in Broadview and elsewhere from the federal thugs? Wouldn't take much work for them to line up between them and turn to face the ones who're assaulting citizens. They're already there.

Thread

Here's a good recent example of what I mean, where a Democrat pushes back instead of accepting a Trump-friendly distortion as the premise. Thanks @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social for alerting me to it, @corybooker.com for sharing/praising it, and especially @neguse.house.gov for doing it. More like this

Straight up lies

That’s uhh insane.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

A key aspect of authoritrianism is the targeted persecution of political enemies.

Yesterday was a huge day for everyone who believes in our campaign to flip #L16. We submitted over 2,300 signatures — 3x the required number to get on the ballot. We couldn’t have done this without the dozens of volunteers who worked so hard across the district over the last three months. Thank you!

In this film, Benjamin Martin leads a group of slaves, illiterate farmers, and Frenchmen to violently rebel against a king whose agents were occupying Americans' towns and homes, undermining trade, detaining people without trial and deporting them, and ignoring and undermining legislatures

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

@scalzi.com So, is this a thing that just got stuck in your head for a few years, mere coincidence, or a sign you were already thinking of turning the moon into cheese a decade later?

@philplait.bsky.social Hiya. I need help understanding a cloud/sun thing, and you seem to enjoy both: Yesterday morning I crossed a bridge over a river driving east. The sun was maybe 25° above the horizon. There were very low-hanging clouds over/on the bridge, and they appeared bright white. 1/2

How long until the #whitehouse, with its destruction for what's sure to be an embarrassingly gaudy #ballroom, is referred to as a palace? "It's very nice, it's like a palace" "It's palatial, really" "I like it, I've made it into a palace" "It's a White Palace now" "It's my palace" #noKings

It’s disgraceful

Once again, if the administration had a good story to tell on the law or the facts, it would be telling it—including to Congress. But it doesn’t. These lawless premeditated killings are exactly what they look like.

It’s kind of bonkers that there are thousands of people marching in midtown Manhattan right now and the @nytimes.com doesn’t have ANY #NoKings COVERAGE on their website at all.

Pissed off Grannies at #NoKings protest❣️

What the hell, @govpritzker.illinois.gov

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

Did they speak to her in a diner? #scotus

We’re not a serious country anymore.

OH MY GOD SOMEBODY TEACH HIM MATH!!!

Ah yes, 'tapping into tariff revenue' is right there in Article II. How could I have missed it.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

Yes, America - the president is telling you you’ll be paid to take your meds. FFS

@jdickerson.bsky.social re: driving range vs Masters, you should see "The Phantom of the Open" if you haven't yet

Heard in #SSA office: "Once the government #shutdown is lifted, we'll be able to print that for you" Tell me again politics doesn't affect daily life

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

#Bondi isn't good at this. Thinks she's jousting when she's clumsily throwing around accusations and even more clumsily not answering direct, simple questions from @whitehouse.senate.gov

He finally feels seen

I thought the one where he was a Black Panther was in poor taste

#ICYMI: GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027. A GAO report shows the program has spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

Amen

Why does he think the gestapo and military would be burning flags?
