The president is clearly threatening multiple nuclear strikes. I don't see why we're not discussing impeachment proceedings or, in lieu of that, military activity intended to prevent such an attack. I'm generally of the opinion that we believe people when they tell us, then act accordingly.

Will Democrats do anything at all this week beyond strongly worded letters and telling us that we can still reach across the aisle to get things done with a party that supports this racist, dementia-addled pants shitter?

Here's part of the problem. This is a *Democrat* responding to a beyond-unhinged social media post by a POTUS that needs to be removed. *He's a danger to the planet.* Where is the five alarm fire? 🚨🔥 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Abdul/Hasan/#MISen primary discourse is why I had to leave politics in a nutshell. *rubs temples* These next two and a half years will be … something

I cannot stress enough how much I hate it here

Michigan polling is notoriously terrible, but it can't be an accident that I see some of Haley's top boosters on Facebook posting more about her primary opponents than their preferred candidate's record or strengths...

I am not pointing this comment at anyone in particular, but: The TSA line has already been a fraught place for brown and Black travelers for as long as it has been around. The racism might get worse tomorrow, but it isn’t going to start tomorrow. That is all.

remains wild to me that the GOP is the party that's actually treating their opponents like they're an immediate and dire threat that must be eliminated at all costs meanwhile the Dems are like "hmm not sure I totally agree with all of this but let's hear these guys out, just in case"

Good morning from Aruba…

The music supervision budget on Love Story must be insane lmfao... Primal Scream, Cocteau Twins, Talk Talk, Peter Gabriel, En Vogue, and The Motels all in the first episode?

I see the Platner dialogue is still going strong. My beef: Like F*tt*rm*n before him, his campaign is getting outsized coverage over equally compelling candidates like El-Sayed in MI because he’s “not like” the other politicians. “Cool guy!” Oysters!

abolish the Senate

Fuck Blue Cross forever for not covering part of my surgery for breast cancer last fall and I might have something to say about this in the news, should my interview be used ... more soon!

Everything’s fine nothing to see here

Barbara Lee was and continues to be right youtu.be/mvnLtMKzX6Y?...

Listen, I'm not a Mills fan. But this is precisely why I cannot get on the Platner train. (That, and well, PTSD from working with another Dark Horse Blue Collar White Guy Candidate for Senate)

There's a bunch of misinformation on here about the regime's Medicare durable medical equipment provider announcement today www.patreon.com/posts/151678...

Obviously I respect AOC deeply but smh man. The stranglehold that trash website (that basically no one but bots and journalists uses anymore) still has on Capitol Hill is deeply frustrating.

The Blackout Report is a comprehensive analysis by @esosaosa.bsky.social & @theonyximpact.bsky.social on the real-world cost of erasing, distorting, and suppressing Black progress. This disinformation campaign is designed to seize illegitimate power and control, using “DEI” to justify harm. A 🧵:

Don’t believe the hype, the federal government is still terrorizing Minnesotans. “Some people may have breathed a sigh of relief when Bovino was pulled and replaced by Homan, but many educators did not,” one teachers’ union leader said. “The agenda is still the same.”

Jesus tapdancing Christ. It's long past time for Democrats to accept that respectability politics are dead as a doornail, and we will consistently lose the game if we don't play ball.

In a chaotic world where Black journalists are arrested for reporting the news, local journalism should be critical infrastructure that holds authority to account — not a casualty of corporate consolidation.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

quick, someone tell the Baileys so they can get through to Schumer

I just ran the numbers, and the cumulative cost of my active treatment for breast cancer before insurance was nearly $425,000. Happy World Cancer Day to me! 🫠

If you’re adding me to your email list that I never opted in to, at least get my first name right…

Hey Ypsi folks. Basil Babes is open today and donating 50% to Michigan Immigrant Rights Center and MN folks. Beara Bakes is open and donating 50% to Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Bellflower is open tonight as a pay what you can community space.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

As someone who used to do this for a living, hard same 🫠🫠🫠🫠

"Now is the time to go back out into the world and resume rewriting the script." Our 2025 Parker Award recipient Brandi Collins-Dexter spent her life fighting for media that serves all of us. @revivallab.bsky.social — her final project — will carry that work forward.

Fully convinced that these corny British influencers (Josh & Jase) traveling around Michigan right now are a psyop

Beyond the utter bullshit of this argument … how did this woman get elected? Her aura is truly unsettling

I didn’t know Dan but I always loved his work. As someone who just wrapped up active treatment for breast cancer and will always live with that worry of recurrence, reading about fellow young cancer patients leaving too soon cuts deep. Fuck cancer.

When the Baileys’ favorite pickleball influencer posts an anti-ICE reel

It is vitally important that Democrats (and the media) frame this properly. If the government gets shutdown it is because the GOP insists on DHS, ICE and CBP continuing to occupy American cities and trample the rights of US citizens.

Someone create a Polymarket bet about Chuck Schumer being forced out of his position as Senate Minority Leader, and place bets on which Dem will replace him. Our journo-class is so X/Twitter-pilled, they'll assume this is based on some scoop, cover it, and it'll manifest into Schumer leaving.

Lines that go straight up in charts that track disease = VERY BAD.

Reports are that they were hanging around bus stops at the end of the day, and that some buses returned to the schools rather than drop the kids off and put them at risk. I'm FURIOUS but feeling galvanized after already seeing the community mobilizing to support impacted families and start observing

Michigan folks: Ypsilanti Community Schools confirm several parents taken into custody by ICE. Not in my fuckin town.

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

You can always count on the Dem-aligned media and consultant class to "invent" programming and tools that independent creators have been toiling away at for years. I'll stick to QAA, Rm Brown, and the Majority Report's occasional coverage of the right-wing podcast-sphere, thanks!

Pro tip: If you need a laugh, the r/IThinkYouShouldLeave subreddit has been absolute gold for a very long time.

So, uh, who definitely doesn't want to pay their taxes this year? 🫣

It took 80-plus years to build a trusted news brand and just a month to destroy it

This NYT video shows DHS using explosives to blow the door off a home of a U.S. citizen wanted for "injuring government property" in Huntington Park CA on 6/27 as Bovino watches nearby. The case, involving a collision with a CBP vehicle, was flimsy and later dropped. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

God I know there are bigger things to talk about this morning but, erm, @mihousedems.bsky.social chose Rahm Emanuel as their top billing for an upcoming fundraiser? 🤦‍♀️

Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

spike lee's greatest work isn't Do The Right Thing or When The Levees Broke, it's his casting of Michael Rapaport in Bamboozled to play a character that is exactly who Michael Rapaport actually is, without Michael Rapaport realizing it

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.
