me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

"there has been constant gene flow between populations for essentially the entire history of the human race, we passed through a genetic bottleneck only a few thousand couples wide, intelligence is our key adaptive trait, and the most genetically diverse population of humans on earth is all dumb."

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

“if you elect Republicans they will actually pass and implement Republican legislation” is a sentence that should be banal but everyone smart understands is an extinction-level scenario for the party as it currently exists

I hope this is true, and I hope the GOP doesn't take it. But if this is true, Schumer is taking a real risk on behalf of the democrats, and to his own credibility.

in just a year, the trump admin has pushed us into a recession, destroyed the air travel system, made multiple cities unsafe, murdered 600k ppl globally, and wrecked the white house. great idea giving this asshole a second chance here.

he’s saying exactly what we’ve been saying, he’s absolutely right, and any colleagues of his should listen to him every part of the country that could just told Donald Trump to go to hell and we demand our elected representatives follow suit

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

The bizarre media narrative that Dems must choose between anti-Trump and affordability politics reflects a broad reluctance to accept that Trump is really unpopular. The way forward is a fusion of the two. They are often one and the same. 8/ (h/t @jamellebouie.net) newrepublic.com/article/2027...

It's worth emphasizing how cowardly these thugs are. It's unprofessional and shitty to escalate a situation and start a fight, but these aren't even fights—if anyone fights back they're facing federal felony charges— it's just beating up totally defenseless people.

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

RESULT: Soren Stevenson is elected to the Minneapolis City Council in the Eighth Ward. Stevenson lost an eye during a 2020 BLM protest after he was shot by police with a foam projectile.

A *massive* night for Dems, and a sign of far far worse to come for fascists. NOW LET'S GO. And I mean, not just to defeat Trumpist fascism, but to utterly crush it and make a new country where people are ashamed to admit that they ever cast a vote for Donald Trump or anyone who supported him.

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's what they've been doing. And that's the reason they refuse to swear in Representative Elect Adelita Grijalva."

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

New awareness campaign

Look at that word cloud! This is what a year of relentless message discipline - saying "affordability" over and over and over again until everyone has heard it 50 times - wins you and a major reason why Mamdani will be the next mayor:

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

High time for Dems to start telling the military that there will be investigations and prosecutions for any and all illegal conduct, people will go to jail, lose rank, pensions etc

The problem with Democrats in the Biden era wasn’t the content of the domestic policies, it was the total failure to sell them and to understand, manage, and master the media environment, especially social media.

Tyranny

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

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.

American Right: WE HATE TRANS, GAYS, MUSLIMS, BLACKS, PROGRESSIVES, POORS, MEXICANS, DEMOCRATS, WHALES, THE ENVIRONMENT, LAWYERS, UNIVERSITIES, AND EVERYTHING ON TV American Right-Wing Jews: Whooo! Yeah! You tell them! American Right: BUT ESPECIALLY JEWS! American Right-Wing Jews:

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally. Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

If Democrats brush off a Nazi tattoo as an innocent mistake, they're abandoning the ability to make effective arguments against Nazis across the aisle. It'd be an unforced error that would taint the party for generations, and rightly so. /3

New Noah Day for all who celebrate

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.
