If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

@fieldmontgomery.bsky.social I feel like you needed a meme from me. It’s been too long. You’re welcome 😜

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

"Trump’s goal...was domination and dominion, an effort to gut the [Kennedy Center] and wear it like a skin suit while demanding respect, as he’s been trying to do with the Nobel Peace Prize for the last year." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-day-and-...

Shut down Dilley. www.thebulwark.com/p/kids-arent...

Probably my favorite

Yes, but think about all the economic anxiety that’s going to be resolved by having no new vaccines and having consistent outbreaks of measles, mumps, and rubella.

And I thought we had freedom of religion in this country…. 😎

Pretty sure civil society groups can walk & chew gum at the same time, Zuck.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Happy Valentine’s Day

The Trump admin is so far over their skis and they don’t even know it because they choose to live in a bubble.

LOL, “Murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.”

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

😂😂😂

Of all things to criticize AOC about, boilerplate on Taiwan gets people upset? Sorry tankie leftists, she didn’t say everything bad in the world is America’s fault, and indicated that deterring Chinese imperialism could be good. Sorry, fake China hawks, she was measured instead of fire-breathing.

ICE has completely broken our social contract. They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

"A new ruling from the Trump administration says that when the sun disappears at night, we don’t know where it goes. All remaining top scientists have been taken from their positions and tasked with getting to the bottom of this." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

They should shut down the entire government if it's in the business of sponsoring masked gunmen kidnapping people and shooting protestors.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

This has been true since--as I write in my book Hot Type--the industrialization of news led to takeover by capital, starting with Whitelaw Reid & the NY Tribune. Learn this from Bezos and the Washington Post: with hyper-capitalists in charge, your news is not safe www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It does amaze me that every time she opens her mouth it’s somehow impeachable.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Repeat after me: An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law. Also: Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

Condoms have been provided to Olympians since the 1988 Seoul Games to raise awareness of sexually transmitted diseases at the height of the AIDS epidemic. At least people overwhelmingly support birth control. What a hilariously weird thing to run out of. 🤣 www.nbcphiladelphia.com/olympics/202...

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed. Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in. Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15? Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Your evening chuckle

Chuck Schumer and his band of Dems just want a kindler and gentler ICE - which will do the kidnapping of children and shipping people out to concentration camps - the right way. Seriously, why is it so difficult for Dems leader to say - they need to dismantle, gut & restructure this agency?

Obviously, if Trump is talking, he’s lying. But I find this statement to be perhaps the most implausible one he’s ever uttered. “I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the near future.”

This fucking administration

New AP-NORC poll: Trump job approval - 36% Economy is good - 34% Country heading in right direction - 29% Vance approval - 32%

Imagine centering the dude with the Nazi tat who has never won an election, while ignoring Michelle Wu, the only mayor of Boston in history to run for re-election unopposed. Kind of a feckless and inept editorial choice.

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A wonderful snippet from one of the best television soundtracks of all time.

You mean people didn’t believe the lost puppy commercial?!?!

Welcome to the U.S., where we make up numbers and the facts don’t matter.

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence! “I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.”

Dumbest Fucking Timeline

1/ Prof. Jeffrey Gerlertner essentially admits that he pimped out his female students who asked him for a rec. Treating Epstein "like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex male" 3 years after his guilty plea is vile. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...
